janis ian - hit you with the guilt lyrics

hit you with the guilt lyrics
[verse 1]
they pin you full of medals, thinking everything is settled
like you’re some jerk
they make you out a hero, then they turn you into zero
’cause there’s no work
they mail congratulations every federal occasion
but it still hurts
they send you out to k!ll, then they hit you with the bill
and every time you’ve had your fill

[verse 2]
they tell you get a job, but there’s not a lot to rob
and it’s too late— can’t wait
they want you to be patient, get a higher education
find a new trade—self+made
they tell you to forget, but the people that you’ve met
put out quite a chill
they treat you like a loser—you’re just another user
and every time you try to climb the hill
[chorus]
they hit you with the guilt
you’ve not committed any crime
they hit you with the guilt
anything, if you toe the line
they hit you with the guilt
you’ve not committed any crime
they hit you with the guilt
anything, if you toe the line

[interlude]

[verse 2]
it’s a crummy situation when the heroes of a nation
are its outlaws
there’s got to be a reason to keep on believing
when you’re rubbed raw
what happened to the payoff? just another layoff
just another short+order drill
they treat you like a man, then they mark you with a brand
and every time you want to k!ll

[chorus]
they hit you with the guilt
you’ve not committed any crime
they hit you with the guilt
anything, if you toe the line
they hit you with the guilt
you’ve not committed any crime
they hit you with the guilt
anything, if you toe the line
[outro]
(hit you with the guilt)
(they hit you with the guilt)
(hit you with the guilt)
(hit you with the guilt)
(the guilt)
