作曲：Jack White

I guess you have to have a problem

If you want to invent a contraption

First you cause a train wreck

And then you put me in traction

Well first came an action

And then a reaction

But you can't switch around

For your own satisfaction

Well you burnt my house down

Then got mad at my reaction

Well in every complicated situation

There's a human relation

Making sense of it all

Take a whole lot of concentration

Well you can blame the baby

For her pregnant ma

And if there's one of these unavoidable laws

It's just that you can't just take

The effect and make it the cause

Well you can't take the effect

And make it the cause

I didn't rob a bank

Because you made up the law

Blame me for robbing peter

Don't you blame Paul

Can't take the effect

And make it the cause

I ain't the reason that you gave me

No reason to return your call

You built a house of cards

And got shocked when you saw them fall

Well I ain't saying I'm innocent

In fact the reverse

But if your heading to the grave

You Don't blame the hearse

You're like a little girl yelling at her brother

Cause you lost his ball

You keep blaming me for what you did

And that ain't all

The way you clean up the wreck

Is enough to give one pause

You seem to forget just how this song started

I'm reacting to you

Because you left me broken hearted

See you just can't just take the effect

And make it the cause

Well you can't take the effect

And make it the cause

I didn't rob a bank

Because you made up the law

Blame me for robbing peter

Don't you blame Paul

Can't take the effect

And make it the cause
