Lyrics
Find me somebody, anybody,
We need to move the blame,
We've done things that may not seem right,
And they need to be explained.
But everybody here is innocent,
Everyone is beyond reproach,
And believe me we've been watching,
Every single thing that they do.
I'm not asking for excuses,
Why do you waste my time?
I'm just saying give me the man,
And I will find the crime.
But comrade this goes against,
Everything the party stands for,
And if the citizens find out,
They won't respect us any more.
Now you are just being naive,
Don't you see that the masses are blind,
Don't you know that they will never see,
That we are controlling their mind.
I'm not asking for excuses,
Why do you waste my time?
I'm just saying give me the man,
And I will find the crime.
But comrade this goes against,
Everything the party stands for,
And if the citizens find out,
They won't respect us any more.
Now you are just being naive,
Don't you see that the masses are blind,
Don't you know that they will never see,
That we are controlling their mind.
I'm not asking for excuses,
Why do you waste my time?
I'm just saying give me the man,
And I will find the crime.
We always need a scapegoat,
We always need a sacrifice,
We always need someone,
To make the wrong things right.
Anyway enough of your questions,
You're starting to irritate me,
And just before you leave,
Can you hand me your pass and your key.
And maybe I won't see you tomorrow,
Maybe you should take a holiday,
Maybe you should spend some time,
Thinking about the things that I say.
I'm not asking for excuses,
Why do you waste my time?
I'm just saying give me the man,
And I will find the crime.
