Don’t blame me for feeling so angry, for getting so bitter, for feeling so betrayed
Just leave me alone on my couch to sing it all out to get it all down
Don’t blame me for being the bad guy, for being the bad guy, for being the bad guy
Don’t blame me for being the bad guy when you know who’s really to blame

You walk away, pretend it’s not happening, pretend you can’t hear me, turn your back
You want me to whisper when I’m blowing the whistle, but I can’t go gentle into that good night

Wish I could forget, but the news reminds me
All the ones they get, all their wounds rewind me
And all the times we wept when the boys in blue tried to define me
Is it just plain ignorance? Is it just plain ignorance? Is it just plain ignorance, or something far more sinister?

Little boy blue come blow your bugle, come toot your trumpet, come blow your horn
Come flash your lights in the dead of night, disturbing sleep of all the little black sheep

Wish I could forget, but the news reminds me
All the ones they get, all their wounds rewind me
And all the times we wept when the boys in blue tried to define me
Is it just plain ignorance? Is it just plain ignorance? Is it just plain ignorance, or a twisted little game?

Wish I could forget, but the news reminds me
All the ones they get, all their wounds rewind me
And all the times we wept when the boys in blue tried to define me
Is it just plain ignorance? Is it just plain ignorance? Is it just plain ignorance, or is something rotten at its core?

Don’t blame me for feeling so angry, for getting so bitter, bad apples rot my brain
Don’t blame me for being the bad guy when you know who’s really to blame.
