lyrics

It was you
Who took us from our campfires to empires
Tied us together with your telephone wires
Wrenched loose our hearts with your needle-nosed pliers
And it was all your fault
It was all your fault

It was you
Who made up the rules
It was you who taught us how to use tools
Pulled us from out of our primordial pools
And it was all your fault
It was all your fault

Look and see
Look and see
Look and see my fire burn

Even every little thing that’s written in stone
Fades away in time
I mean every little thing that’s written in stone
Fades away in time

It was you
Who chose us at random
It was you who split up the atom
Raised up your towers in tandem
And it was all your fault
It was all your fault

Look and see
Look and see
Look and see my fire burn
Look and see
Look and see
Look and see my fire burn
