I wore the clothes you wanted
I took your name
If there is some confusion, who's to blame?
I signed your living will
I smiled your face
I'm ready to close the book on NASA in outer space
If there is some confusion
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?
I sequenced your arrival
I sealed your fate
I pushed the button and erased your master tape
I wrote the sales pitch
I threw the brake switch
I dragged your big-ass Daddy Roth car out of that ditch
If there is some confusion
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?
I crossed your great divide
I stirred your ocean's tide
I called your bluff until I blew your circuits wide
I'll be your albatross
Devil, dog, Jesus, God
I don't wanna be Iggy Pop but if that's what it takes, hey
If there is some confusion
If there is some confusion
If there is some confusion
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?
I took your name
If there is some confusion, who's to blame?
I signed your living will
I smiled your face
I'm ready to close the book on NASA in outer space
If there is some confusion
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?

seriously, anyone know the reason for the Iggy reference? something like this happened to him? did Michael just use his name like he could have used any name? did Iggy say something about it?
but if that's what it takes"...as for weather he did it or wrote these lines cuz that's one of their similarities remains anyone's guess. Not much of an explanation I know...but hey, thats a start! :)
The song is about a relationship breakup.
First of all - 99 % of all songs are about love, and this is one of them:
"I wore the clothes you wanted
I took your name
If there is some confusion, who's to blame?
I signed your living will
I smiled your face
I'm ready to close the book on NASA in outer space"
The guy did exactly what the partner asked for, but it wasn't enough.
He called the partners bluff, he would have done anything.
The reference to Iggy Pop is just a reference - but a cool one of cause.
If there is some confusion, who's to blame? the partner of course.
Someone who did everything asked for in a relationship but got fed up,
could do anything more.
