Can't Pass the Buck
Unveiling Responsibility: Can't Dodge Life's Consequences
Lyrics
You Can't Pass the Buck
You can't avoid responsibility.
If chaos you saw,
If you witnessed chaos,
then chaos you reap
you will face the consequences of chaos.
The steadier the bed
A stable foundation results in a peaceful rest.
the sounder the sleep
A metaphorical link between stability and tranquility.
Call it natural law
This is described as a natural law.
Call it tough luck
You may call it bad luck, but
But you Can't Pass the Buck
you cannot shift the blame to others.
Let me see you get to this
Challenge to face a situation head-on.
See you get to this
Reiteration of facing the challenge.
Let me see when you're dancing
Observing someone dancing, possibly metaphorical for living carefree.
When you come to your senses
Realizing the truth or reality.
You Can't Pass the Buck
Reiteration of the central theme: Responsibility cannot be avoided.
Try to blame it on your brother-man
Attempting to blame others, specifically one's brother-man.
Try to blame it on me
Trying to shift blame onto oneself.
Try to blame it on the system, the system
Attempting to blame societal systems.
But you won't go free
Conveying that blaming others won't lead to freedom from consequences.
'cause you Can't Pass the Buck
Restating the core message: You can't pass the responsibility to others.
