When you need someone to blame

Cause you can't control your life,

Just take aim and you can shame

And humiliate your wife.

 

Once your wife is feeling sad

That her marriage is a loss

She'll make sure the kids feel bad

While she blames things on her boss.

 

For her boss it's kind of hard,

Cause her husband's really great,

So she'll turn a tarot card

And will blame things all on fate.

 

Chorus:

Scapegoat, you need a scapegoat

Pushing the blame

Pinning the wrap

Sharing the pain

When your life is total crap.

Working so hard

Just to escape

All of your fears

That have left you in this shape.

 

When you cannot fill the voids

Blaming family's not enough

Thank the gods we have tabloids

Filled with lots of raunchy stuff

 

Seeing famous people fall

Won't entirely compensate.

If you still are feeling small,

There are "others" you can hate.

 

There are targets everywhere:

Foreign nations to despise

Women with blonde hair

Colored men with slanted eyes.

 

Chorus
