about

No shame. No blame. A lesson that's so simple and so powerful.

lyrics

The architect blame the builder
That carpenter blame the plumber
Plumber fear d’electric
Shock, you got his number?

The house is lookin’ shaky
Nothin’ fits quite right
When the weather turns and the wood burns
Gonna be some cold nights

Who’s to blame they all cry
I know it isn’t me
I’m an honest soul just gettin’ by
And trying to be free

Its him its her, its plain as day
they don’t really belong
Why are they here anyway
Just look at ‘em, its wrong

Everywhere its showin’ up
this bloody blade of hate?
You think it can’t happen here?
Well don’t tempt fate

check out your blindness
That’s the thing to see
There’s a speck stuck in your eye
but a log that’s blinding me

All the way back to Cain and Abel
If you’re ready to go deeper
How’s your brother, do you still
Refuse to be his keeper?

That’s the burning question,
Since way back when
Will we learn to love each other
Or do this all, all over again
