Blame Quote by Skillet
“Let's get the story straight You were a poison You flooded through my veins You left me broken You tried to make me think That the blame was all on me With the pain you put me through And now I know that it's not me it's you he same fight we're always in I don't care so why pretend Wake me when your lecture ends You tried to make me small Make me fall and it's all your fault With the pain you put me through And now I know that it's not me it's you et's get the story straight You were a poison Flooding through my veins Driving me insane And now you're gone away I'm no longer choking From the pain you put me through And now I know that it's not me it's you”

![“I don't think all the blame lies with Wall Street. I think a lot of the blame lies with the [George W.] Bush administration. They went back to trickle-down economics. They took their eye off the mortgage market, they took their eye off the finance markets, and we ended up in a big mess.” quote by Hillary Clinton](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5a1/hillary-clinton-51_administration_i-don-t-think-all-the-blame-lies-with-wa_3138053.jpg)
