Sometime I talk in circles so I don't know what I mean
 Although I am uncertain, one thing seems clear
 I don't know very much, but I'm still glad to be here
 Because I've got a conscience and he's got the same name
 When it goes badly he gets the blame
 When it goes good I get the acclaim
 When I get hit he feels the pain
 Weren't you before me or were in the past
 You'll have to excuse me, I didn't think that this was going to last
 Well, I heard the road that spirals down
 Has been paved with the best intentions that can be found
 I've got a conscience and he's got a name
 When it goes badly he gets the blame
 When it goes good I get the acclaim
 When I get hit he feels the pain
