Effigy

You grab the bottle
 I'll hold the glass
 We'll toast the future and forget the past
 You got an itch
 I lost my cool
 You ran your mouth, I broke the Golden Rule
 How quickly madness
 Called to me
 As the wine fell to the floor
 Your dirty secrets
 Quickly came
 Spilling out with every pour
 Blame the bottle
 Blame the smoke
 Roll it up and set it free
 Accuse the world
 Crack a joke
 No one's listening but me
 So we raise our glass
 As we tumble to the floor
 You can stagger on your thoughts
 As I stumble to the door
 Point a boney finger
 Shake a fist at me
 You can try to pass the blame
 But you need an effigy
 You hate the world
 And find the flaws
 You chew it up and wash it down
 Are you the victim?
 Or the cause?
 Are you lost or are you found?
 We shake our fists
 We cast the blame
 We pick our sides and watch the flood
 We try to change
 It's still the same
 We end up trudging through the mud
 So we raise our glass
 As we tumble to the floor
 You can stagger on your thoughts
 As I stumble to the door
 Point a boney finger
 Shake a fist at me
 You can try to pass the blame
 But you need an effigy
 So we raise our glass
 As we tumble to the floor
 You can stagger on your thoughts
 As I stumble to the door
 Point a boney finger
 Shake a fist at me
 You can try to pass the blame
 But you need an effigy
 You grab the bottle
 I'll hold the glass
 We'll toast the future and forget the past
 You got an itch
 I lost my cool
 You ran your mouth, I broke the Golden Rule
 So we raise our glass
 As we tumble to the floor
 You can stagger on your thoughts
 As I stumble to the door
 Point a boney finger
 Shake a fist at me
 You can try pass the blame
 But you need an effigy
