You say that I'm to blame
For the fast demise of man
I say that you're insane
And I love you and I'm doing all I can
You say it's not the way
You pictured your superman
I say he's been delayed
But I love you and I'm doing all I can
Don't break my star
I'm doing the best that I can
Blah blah blah
Excuses for the common man
And here we go again
You say the camera knows
And the camera never lies
So I'll stay in the dark room
Where the camera knows that I'll get by
Don't break my star
I'm doing the best that I can
Blah blah blah
Excuses for the common man
And here we go again
Ooooh
Ooooh
I must confess
It's not my greatest line
But damage limitation
Is a competence of mine
Because I do it all the time
You say it's not the way
You pictured your superman
I say he's been dead for years
But I love you and I'm doing all I can
Don't break my star
I'm doing the best that I can
Blah blah blah
Excuses for the common man
And here we go again
