Sometimes I'm dirty, sometimes I'm clean

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
