Blame It On Cain

[Verse 1] Once upon a time, I had a little money Government burglars took it long Before I could mail it to you Still, you are the only one Now I can't let it slip away So if the man with the ticker tape He tries to take it Well this is what I'm going to say [Chorus] Blame it on Cain Don't blame it on me Oh, oh, it's nobody's fault But we need somebody to burn [Verse 2] Well if I was a saint with a silver cup And the money got low We could always heat it up Or trade it in But then the radio to heaven will be wired to your purse And then you can run down the wave band Coast to coast, hand in hand Bad to worse, curse for curse Don't be dissatisfied So you're not satisfied [Chorus] [Verse 3] I think I've lived a little too long On the outskirts of town I think I'm going insane From talking to myself for so long Oh, but I've never been accused But when they step up on your face You wear that good-luck grin I got to break out one weekend 'Fore I do somebody in But every single time I feel a little stronger They tell me it's a crime Well how much longer? [Chorus]
