The White Stripes - Effect And Cause

I guess you have to have a probelm

if you want to 'vent a contraption

well you cause a trainwreck

and then you put me in traction

first came an action

and then a reaction

but you can't switch around

for your own satisfaction

well you burnt my house down

and then got mad at my reaction



well in every complicated situation

there's a human relation

to make sense of it all

take a whole lot of concentration

well you can't blame her baby

for her pregnant ma

and if there's one of these

on her auto applause



its 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

cos 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 aint 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 aint saying i'm innocent

in fact the reverse

but if your heading to the grave

don't blame the hearse

you're like a little girl yelling at her brother

cos you lost his ball



you keep blaming me for what you did

and that aint 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

cos you left me broken hearted



its 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

cos 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
