from 1994's "Monster"

I wore the clothes you wanted
I took your name
If there is some confusion
Who's to blame?

I signed your living will
I smiled your face
I'm ready to close the book on
NASA and outer space

If there is some confusion
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?

I sequenced your arrival
I sealed your fate
I pushed the button
And erased your master tape

I wrote the sales pitch
I threw the grey switch
I dragged your big-assed
Dirty robbed car out of that ditch

If there is some confusion
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?

I crossed your great divide
I stirred your ocean's tide
I called your bluff until
I blew your circuits wide

I'll be your albatross,
Devil dog, Jesus Lord
I don't wanna be Iggy Pop
But if that's what it takes - me.

If there is some confusion
If there is some confusion
If there is some confusion
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?

  • This is such a kickass song. Monster is way underrated.

  • Like a lot of the songs on Monster, it's about identity, and how easy it is to be derivative of others, and how so many in the entertainment industry simply recycle their influences and reflects how saturated popular music had become.

    Funny thing is that it's more relevant today than ever before!

  • Great album, great song, great band

  • iv just found this album/song on here. every time i here this tune i have to turn it up just a little bit more. epic

  • I love the feedback guitar sustained throughout most of this album. It's just briliant. I listen to this album just as much now as I did 15 years ago. I never tire of it. Monster is what turned me from a casual REM listener to a truly realizing their genius.

  • it's my favourite album ever. I get in a trance first time I listened to it!!!!!

  • @BarwinDarney I don't hate this album

  • @Issicra i think MONSTER is the consequence of Kurts DEath

  • I was at Huddersfield when I heard this stuff, magical!!

  • Their old stuff like this was better.
