Effect and Cause
The White Stripes
[Verse 1]
I guess you have to have a problem
If you want to invent a contraption
First you cause a train wreck
Then they put me in traction, mmm
Well, first came an action
And then a reaction
But you can't switch 'em 'round
For your own satisfaction
Well you burnt my house down
Then got mad
At my reaction
Well in every complicated situation
Of a human relation
Makin' sense of it all
Takes a whole lotta concentration, mmm
Well you can't blame a baby
For her pregnant ma
And if there's one of these unavoidable laws
It's that you jsut can't take the effect
And make it the cause, no
[Chorus]
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 robbin' Peter
But don't you blame Paul
Can't take the effect
And make it the cause

[Verse 2]
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, yeah... yeah
Well I ain't saying I'm innocent
In fact the reverse
But if you're headed to the grave
You don't blame the hearse
You're like a little girl yellin' at her brother
'Cause you lost his ball, yeah
Well you keep blaming me
For what you did
But that ain't all
The way you clean up a wreck
Is enough to give one pause, yes
Well, you seem to forget just how this song started
I'm reactin' to you
Because you left me brokenhearted
See you just can't just take the effect
And make it the cause
[Chorus]
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 robbin' Peter
But don't you blame Paul
Can't take the effect
And make it the cause
