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
