Blame it on youth, all these years I've been losing
Blame it on the past, it's the last place I knew you
Blame all the children, they're raging and ruined
Blame it on the black and the blue

Every now and then
You're down and out my friend
Down and out again
Down and out again
Down and out again
But I'm down with you

Chorus

Every now and then
You're down and out my friend
Down and out again
Down and out again
Down and out again
But I'm down with you

Chorus - x2

One more time for the last time
One more time for release
One more time for the last time
Everyone wants to believe
One more time for the last time
One more time for release
One more time for the very last time
Everyone wants to believe, alright
