Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mr. Marvin Middleclass is really in a stew
Wonderin' what the younger generation's comin' to
And the taste of his Martini doesn't please his bitter tongue
Blame it on the Rolling Stones
[Chorus]
Blame it on the Stones
Blame it on Stones
You'll feel so much better knowing you don't stand alone
Join the accusation
Save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders
Blame it on the Stones
[Verse 2]
Mother tells the ladies at the bridge club every day
Of the risin' price of tranquilizers, she must pay
And she wonders why the children never seem to stay at home
Blame it on the Rolling Stones
One more time!
[Chorus]
Blame it on the Stones
Yes, that's beautiful, children!
Blame it on the Stones
Whoa
You'll feel so much better knowing you don't stand alone
Join the accusation
Save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders
Blame it on the Stones
[Verse 3]
Father's at the office nightly, working overtime
Tryin' to make the secretary change her little mind
And it bothers him to read about so many broken homes
Blame it on those Rolling Stones
One more time!
[Verse 4]
Blame it on the Stones
Get together, children!
Blame it on the Stones
You'll feel so much better, children!
You'll feel so much better knowing you don't stand alone
You'll be purified!
Help me crucify!
Join the accusation
Whoa
Save the bleeding nation
Blame it on the Stones
Get it off your shoulders
Blame it on the Stones
