[Verse 1] Morning coffee, headlines on my screen Everybody selling certainty Three little answers, one little frame A world this complicated reduced to a name Every corner got a different claim Everybody playing the blame game Round and around in the same old lane Everybody's looking for somebody to blame [Pre-Chorus] Makes it feel easier Makes it feel clean Cuts all the corners In between [Chorus] Everybody wants somebody to blame A face for the fire, a name for the pain Everybody wants somebody to blame Makes the whole world simple for a minute again Everybody wants somebody to blame Point at the shadow, walk away the same Everybody wants somebody to blame While the real answers slip away again [Verse 2] When our love broke down, I spoke your name Like it could somehow carry all the blame I told myself it was all your fault Built a little shelter for my heart But time moves slow and memory fades Nothing gets broken in only one place Some things unravel thread by thread Long before the final words get said [Pre-Chorus] Makes it feel easier Makes it feel clean Cuts all the corners In between [Chorus] Everybody wants somebody to blame A face for the fire, a name for the pain Everybody wants somebody to blame Makes the whole world simple for a minute again Everybody wants somebody to blame Point at the shadow, walk away the same Everybody wants somebody to blame While the real answers slip away again [Bridge] Maybe the story was never that clean Maybe we're all somewhere in between Maybe the villain we're trying to find Lives in the fear we carry inside Maybe the truth takes longer to see Maybe it starts with humility Maybe the world ain't a headline away Maybe we're more than somebody to blame [Final Chorus] Everybody wants somebody to blame A face for the fire, a name for the pain Everybody wants somebody to blame Makes the whole world simple for a minute again Everybody wants somebody to blame Point at the shadow, walk away the same Everybody wants somebody to blame While the real answers slip away again [Outro] Morning coffee, headlines on my screen Everybody selling certainty The world's still turning just the same Beyond somebody to blame
