Lyrics for I Took Your Name

I wore the clothes you wanted I took your name If there is some confusion Who's to blame? I signed your living will I smiled your face I'm ready to close the book on NASA in outer space If there is some confusion Who's to blame? Who's to blame? I sequenced your arrival I sealed your fate I pushed the button and erased your master tape I wrote the sales pitch I threw the brake switch I dragged your big ass daddy roth car out of that ditch If there is some confusion Who's to blame? Who's to blame? I crossed your great divide I stirred your ocean's tide I called your bluff until I blew your circuits wide I'll be your albatross, Devil, dog, Jesus, god, I don't wanna be Iggy Pop but if that's what it takes, hey If there is some confusion If there is some confusion If there is some confusion Who's to blame? Who's to blame?
