Would you be upset if I told you we were dying?
And every cure they gave us was a lie?
Oh! They mean it when they say we're dead and doomed
And every single symptom brings us closer to the tomb
And who will take the credit for our swift impending fall
Because it's not my fault.
Would you be impressed if I said that the dead would help us counting
Every single moment that we waste our time?
All the time we're spending vaccinating this disease
I just get dizzy when I think of all the ways we try to hide our maladies
WE wine, WE dine, and everything is fine
Because it's not my fault.
Not you're upset because you finally got the notion
That everything you had is spinning down the drain
Oh! Do you mean it when you beg and pray and plead?
You're "Giveittomegiveittomegiveittomegiveittome, all those things we need"
And what, pray tell, will you whimper when your number will be called?
You'll say "It's not my fault"
Go!
Now!
The others they'll await you!
And every single one among the lot of you will have your turn,
Ai, Ai, Ai, Oh, Oh, OH!
Like moths that fly into the flame it always ends up so...
You scream: "Not me! Take anybody else! -Because it's not my fault!"
I had a dream last night where everyone was trying,
Subconsciously I knew it was a LIE
And when I woke I knew it was time to pray,
To make amends before the end, before my judgment day.
I looked around, I stood alone, I knew what I had to say
I said "It's all my fault!"
And every cure they gave us was a lie?
Oh! They mean it when they say we're dead and doomed
And every single symptom brings us closer to the tomb
And who will take the credit for our swift impending fall
Because it's not my fault.
Would you be impressed if I said that the dead would help us counting
Every single moment that we waste our time?
All the time we're spending vaccinating this disease
I just get dizzy when I think of all the ways we try to hide our maladies
WE wine, WE dine, and everything is fine
Because it's not my fault.
Not you're upset because you finally got the notion
That everything you had is spinning down the drain
Oh! Do you mean it when you beg and pray and plead?
You're "Giveittomegiveittomegiveittomegiveittome, all those things we need"
And what, pray tell, will you whimper when your number will be called?
You'll say "It's not my fault"
Go!
Now!
The others they'll await you!
And every single one among the lot of you will have your turn,
Ai, Ai, Ai, Oh, Oh, OH!
Like moths that fly into the flame it always ends up so...
You scream: "Not me! Take anybody else! -Because it's not my fault!"
I had a dream last night where everyone was trying,
Subconsciously I knew it was a LIE
And when I woke I knew it was time to pray,
To make amends before the end, before my judgment day.
I looked around, I stood alone, I knew what I had to say
I said "It's all my fault!"

"All the time we're spending vaccinating this disease
I just get dizzy when I think of all the ways we try to hide our maladies"
Instead of fixing the problem, we spend too much blaming others for out own problems.
Also,
You're "Giveittomegiveittomegiveittomegiveittome, all those things we need"
Perhaps referring to greed?
Just my thoughts. This is an Amazing song!!
And every cure they gave us was a lie?
Oh! They mean it when they say we're dead and doomed
And every single symptom brings us closer to the tomb
And who will take the credit for our swift impending fall
Because it's not my fault”
Our society (the American government) is a disease and any plan to save it or stop it will not work, which will ultimately bring a quick downfall to the country with only the people trying to stop it to blame.
That's my interpretation.
When I listen to this song's lyrics, the first thing I imagine are scenes from the Holocaust. This isn't the interpretation I'm sticking with, but it's possible. There's some clues in the text.
"Would you be upset if I told you we were dying?
And every cure they gave us was a lie?"
-may refer to how of course, the prisoners were dying from disease and instead of being given real cures, they were given experimental cures that often made their conditions worse
"Would you be impressed if I said that the dead would help us counting
Every single moment that we waste our time?
All the time we're spending vaccinating this disease
I just get dizzy when I think of all the ways we try to hide our maladies
WE wine, WE dine, and everything is fine
Because it's not my fault."
-may refer to how the Jews tried to hide any sort of maladies and flaws they had that would otherwise make the Nazis see them as 'unworthy' to live. a common practice at the time.
"And what, pray tell, will you whimper when your number will be called?
You'll say "It's not my fault"
-prisoners were often given numbers and were addressed by their numbers only in death camps. when their "number will be called" could be a reference to being called to be the next exterminated.
But, then again, this could refer to any sort of Holocaust, not necessarily the one that occurred during World War II, or perhaps death itself, since death is a fate avoidable by no man and your number will be called eventually.
then i took responsibility just b4 i died
I feel this is more of a song about society - how many things are really are fault, even if it's indirectly and we don't tend to realize, or just refuse, to believe it.
Though, I also feel this can go down to a personal level for certain people, or maybe even certain groups of people. Pointing out how hard they try to stay pure, and away from sin, that they ignore what's happening in the world around them, because, tying back into what I said before, they don't think it's their fault. When really, even if it's indirectly, it is since they do nothing to help prevent it, or fix it.
"You scream: 'Not me! Take anybody else! -Because it's not my fault!'"
maybe.
