Blame it on the Tetons- Modest Mouse

"Language is the liquid that we're all dissolved in"

A coworker is blaming me for the crap that someone else has done.  I will not take that.  I will not take the blame nor clean up someone else's mess.

I love Modest Mouse.  I think they're a little underrated.  It's like, whenever, they hit mainstream, they lost their indie cred.  But, they are still creating awesome INDIE music.  No reason to abandon them.  This, btw, is my favorite song from them.

Blame it on the Tetons
Yeah, I need a scapegoat now
No my dog won't bite you, though it had the right to
You oughta give her credit cause she knows I would've let it happen

Blame it on the weekends
God, I need a cola now
Oh we mumble loudly, wear our shame so proudly
Wore our blank expressions, trying to look interesting
Blame it all on me cause god I need a cold one now

All them eager actors gladly taking credit
for the lines created by the people tucked away from
sight is just a window from the room we're bound to
 If you find a way out, oh would you just let me know how
 Would you just let me know how

Blame it on the web
 but the spider's your problem now
Language is the liquid that we're all dissolved in
 Great for solving problems, after it creates a problem
 Blame it on the Tetons
God, I need a scapegoat now

Everyone's a building burning
with no one to put the fire out
Standing at the window looking out
waiting for time to burn us down
 Everyone's an ocean drowning
with no one really to show how
they might get a little better air
 if they turned themselves into a cloud
