Official lyrics for Blame Putin.
Blame Putin
Train runs late?
Rain all day?
You know who did it...
Blame Putin!
Blame Putin!
Train runs late, rain all day,
Polls go south? There’s a name to say.
Need one face for every fright,
Paint him red, then blame him right.
Witches, Reds, the man next door,
Now it’s Vlad behind the drawer.
Facts run thin, headlines spin,
Point due east and wheel him in.
Some hacks were real, some trolls were too,
That little fact makes the fiction feel true.
One true thread, ten tales begin—
Put in the fear, then Putin wins.
Bedbugs in Paris?
Blame Putin!
Star Wars got slated?
Blame Putin!
Pokémon Go by the cop-shop door?
Blame Putin!
Blame Putin!
Beyoncé rows, royal confusion,
Tissue turns to coke illusion.
Anything weird and no one’s clued in—
Blame Putin!
Blame Putin!
Blame Putin!
Put it on Putin,
Put it on Putin.
Nobody knows?
Put it on Putin.
Wi-Fi slow, kettle dead,
Putin’s living rent-free in your head.
Lost your seat? Blame his tweet.
Bogeyman with a bassline beat.
One real bot, then rumours bloom,
Vlad gets blamed from Leeds to the moon.
Truth gets stretched, checked, then binned—
Put in the blame and Putin grins.
Some hacks were real, some trolls were too,
That little fact makes the fiction feel true.
One true thread, ten tales begin—
Put in the fear, then Putin wins.
Bedbugs in Paris?
Blame Putin!
Star Wars got slated?
Blame Putin!
Pokémon Go by the cop-shop door?
Blame Putin!
Blame Putin!
Beyoncé rows, royal confusion,
Tissue turns to coke illusion.
Anything weird and no one’s clued in—
Blame Putin!
Blame Putin!
Blame Putin!
Stubbed your toe?
Blame Putin!
Lost your phone?
Blame Putin!
Toast came cold, card declined,
Russian agents, mastermind.
Put in the blame, take out the facts—
Vlad’s in your apps and your thermostat.
Some of it’s true,
That fuels the confusion.
Truth is the root
Of the wildest delusion.
Bedbugs in Paris?
Blame Putin!
The King’s not dead?
Still blame Putin!
Bots in the comments,
Drones in the garden—
Blame Putin!
Beg your pardon?
Some of it’s true,
That fuels the confusion.
Truth is the root
Of the wildest delusion.
Anything weird and no one’s clued in—
Blame Putin!
Blame Putin!
Blame Putin!
Put it on Putin,
Put it on Putin.
Nobody knows?
Put it on Putin.
Blame Putin!
Blame Putin!
Blame Putin!
