Mister Marvin Middle Class is really in a stew

Wond'rin' what the younger generation's coming to

And the taste of his martini doesn't please his bitter tongue

Blame it on the Rolling Stones.



Blame it on the Stones; blame it on the Stones

You'll feel so much better, knowing you don't stand alone

Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation

Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the Stones



Mother tells the ladies at the bridge club every day

Of the rising price of tranquilizers she must pay

And she wonders why the children never seem to stay at home

Blame it on the Rolling Stones.



Blame it on the Stones; Blame it on the Stones

You'll feel so much better, knowing you don't stand alone

Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation

Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the Stones



Father's at the office, nightly working all the time

Trying to make the secretary change her little mind

And it bothers him to read about so many broken homes

Blame it on those Rolling Stones.



Blame it on the Stones; Blame it on the Stones

You'll feel so much better knowing you don't stand alone

Join the accusation; same the bleeding nation

Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the Stones



Blame it on the stones, blame it on the stones
