Matt Mahaffey on the writing and production of “Placing The Blame”:
This stemmed from a piano piece I came up with at a stoned-out session. I was at a studio that had a kickass piano, a really sweet-sounding baby grand. And when you’re used to a shitty piano and you get to play a good one, the musi...
[Verse 1]

Bringing packages from England
I smiled as to not provoke him
Then asked "What's up with the gun, man?"

As not to damage or destroy, or say a bad word
I gave directions to the nearest coffee shop
So maybe he'd stop, so maybe he'd stop
[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up world, it's time to go
'Cause this life can bring you down, so down
Wake up world, it's time to go
And turn around the opposite way
[Chorus]
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough to take the blame for this?
Are you man enough?

Are you man enough to take the blame for this?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough to take the blame for this?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough to take the blame for this?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough to take the blame for this?
Are you man enough to take the blame for this?
