Effect and Cause

歌詞

I guess you have to have a problem If you want to invent a contraption First you cause a train wreck Then you put me in traction Well, first came an action And then a reaction But you can't switch around For your own satisfaction Well, you put my house down then got mad At my reaction Well, in every complicated situation You're the human relation Makin' sense of it all Take a whole lot a concentration Well, you can blame my baby For her pregnant ma And if there's one of these On the order for laws It's that you just can't take the effect And make it the cause Well you can't take the effect And make it the cause I didn't rob a bank Because you made up a law When you people robbin' Peter Don't you blame Paul Can't take the effect And make it the cause I ain't the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call You built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall Well are you sayin I'm innocent In fact the reverse But if you're headin' to the grave You don't blame the hearse You're like a little girl yellin' at her brother 'Cause you lost his ball Well you keep blamin' me for what you did And that ain't all The way you clean up a wreck Is enough to get one pause You seem to forget Just how this song started I'm reactin' to you because you left me broken-hearted See, you just can't take the effect And make it the cause Can't take the effect And make it the cause I didn't rob a bank Because you made up a law Blame people robbin' Peter Don't you blame Paul Can't take the effect And make it the cause
