who is to blame for the way that you are, the things that you say and

all the things that you do.

who is to blame for the way that you feel, the way that your living and

the way that you deal.

who is right when everyone is wrong was it fate that brought you here

against all your wishes

who is to blame for the way that you are was it parental supervision or

the lack thereof



i get down when i'm loaded

down when i'm loaded

oh i get down



who is to blame for the reasons you feel like it's an all or nothing

kind of situation

who is right when everyone is wrong was it fate that brought you here

against all your wishes



it's the sound of super sad

it's the kind of shit that makes me angry

your bad, waisting your time, your irresponsibility



yeah, so educated, sooooo



i get down when i'm loaded

down when i'm loaded

oh i get down

i get down when i'm loaded

down when i'm loaded

oh i get down

Its inclusion on the album highlights Oleander's commitment to songwriting that balances catchy hooks with atmospheric depth, cementing their reputation as a key voice in the genre's evolution during the turn of the millennium.
