Sometimes I'm dirty, sometimes I'm clean   Sometime I talk in circles so I don't know what I mean   Although I am uncertain, one thing seems clear   I don't know very much, but I'm still glad to be here      Because I've got a conscience and he's got the same name   When it goes badly he gets the blame   When it goes good I get the acclaim   When I get hit he feels the pain      Weren't you before me or were in the past   You'll have to excuse me, I didn't think that this was going to last   Well, I heard the road that spirals down   Has been paved with the best intentions that can be found      I've got a conscience and he's got a name   When it goes badly he gets the blame   When it goes good I get the acclaim   When I get hit he feels the pain
