Exploring Themes of Blame and Identity

If it's genocide, lay it on me. If it's

apartheid, lay it on me. If it's ethnic

cleansing, lay it on me. If you're a capitalist,

I'll be your communist. If you're

a communist, I'll be your

capitalist pig.

If you're a Nazi,

I'll be your inferior race.

If you think I murdered your God, I'll take the

blame.

Whatever lies in the deepest,

darkest depths of your soul, take it

out,

lay it on me.

Need a banker, need a thief, need a parasite.

Need a disease, need a puppet, need a king.

Whatever fits, I'll be that thing.

Every age, another crime. Different

story every time.

Whatever lies in the deepest,

darkest depths of your soul, take it

out,

lay it on me.

If your world starts falling down, if your empire

hits the ground. If the mirror feels too

true, I've got a face you can pin

it to.

Whatever lies in the deepest,

darkest depths of your soul, take it

out,

lay it on me.

The left, the right, the church, the Marxists, the

Islamists. Different centuries, different

costumes, same old play.

Lay it on me.
