[Verse 1]
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 in outer space

[Chorus]
If there is some confusion
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?

[Verse 2]
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 brake switch
I dragged your big-ass daddy Roth car out of that ditch

[Chorus]
If there is some confusion (Some confusion)
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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, God
I don't want to be Iggy Pop, but if that's what it takes, hey

[Chorus]
If there is some confusion
If there is some confusion (Some confusion)
If there is some confusion (Some confusion)
Who's to blame?
(Some confusion)
Who's to blame?
(Some confusion)
Who's to blame?

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
