We go to practice almost every day
And our conductor tells us how to play
You blow the trumpet and I slap the bass
We are a big ensemble called the human race

Who would you find to blame if you would
Lose your voice
Who will you point your finger at when
It all sounds like noise

Don't say you're innocent
Just because you know your harmony
You're not just an instrument
To a conductor who has lost
Every sense of melody

At every show we always try our best
Some will go solo, some will follow the rest
Things become tricky if you have poutine
Your fingers will get greasy if you know what I mean

Who will you find to blame if you would
Lose your crowd
Who will you point your finger at if
It all sounds too loud, yeah-yeah!

Don't say you're innocent
Just because you're not out of key
You're not just an instrument
To a conductor who has lost
Every sense of melody

Whoooooooooa
Whoooooooooa
Whoooooooooa
Whoooooooooa

Don't say you're innocent
Just because you know your harmony
You're not just an instrument
To a conductor who has lost
Every single melody

Whoooooooooa
Whoooooooooa
I don't think you're innocent
Whoooooooooa
Whoooooooooa
Don't say you're innocent
