I take this song to be ironic. It's saying that, in truth, blame doesn't 'cure anything' even though you can apply it to anything ('broad latitude'). To blame is to become a victim and give up control, not be in charge of your own direction: "throw the rudder down."
And Mike Doughty does write poetry, go dig screenwriter's blues
