LYRICS

You always put the blame on me
But it’s not the way it’s supposed to be-e oh oh
Don’t you hang around my door
Don’t wanna see you anymore

Mussolini and Adolf knew
It was them who caused World War Two-o oh oh
You’d better stay away from me
’cause this could cause World War Three

You took it all for a game
And maybe really that’s a sha-ame oh oh
By the time you came to me
It was over and you couldn’t see

Oooooh oh-oh-oh
I never meant to hurt you oh oh
Oooooh oh-oh-oh
I never meant to hurt you oh oh

Always put the blame on me
But it’s not the way it’s supposed to be-e oh oh
So don’t you hang around my door
Don’t wanna see you anymore aww

Don’t wanna see you anymore a-ah
Ha
Wanna see you anymore

NOTES

  • Written shortly after Dolores joined the band.
  • The original title is “Crown Paint” as seen on the band’s handwritten setlist for their first gigs.
  • According to Zombieguide, “a local paper mistakenly called it Chrome Paint, a title which has since stuck with it among fans. It was probably named for a popular brand of paint in Ireland and the UK as a joke, much like the tongue-in-cheek nature of many of their early songtitles.”
  • “Water Circle” inserts do not include any lyrics and the ones on this page were transcribed by our team.
