Blame It On The Stones

(Kris Kristofferson)



Mister modern middle class is really in a stew

Wondering what the younger generation's coming to

And the taste of his Martini doesn't please his bitter tongue

Blame it on the rolling stones.



Blame it on the stones blame it on the stones

You feel so much better knowing you won't stand alone

Join me at your station save your bleeding nation

Get it off your shoulders blame it on the stones.



Mother tells the ladies at the Bridge Club every day

Of the rising price of tranquilizes she must pay

And she wonders why the children never seem to stay at home

Blame it on the rolling stones.



(One more time) blame it on the stones

(Yes that's beautiful children) blame it on the stones

Oh you feel so much better knowing you won't stand alone

Join me at your station save your bleeding nation

Get it off your shoulders blame it on the stones.



Father's at the office nightly working over time

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) blame it on the stones

(Yes that's beautiful children) blame it on the stones

Oh you feel so much better knowing you won't stand alone

Join me at your station save your bleeding nation

Get it off your shoulders blame it on the stones...
