It's your own fault – you went ahead and did it
It's your own fault – can't blame no one but y'self
It's your own fault – you went ahead and did it
No matter how you wanna you can't blame nobody else.
Everyone's an expert at pa**in' the buck
Blamin' society, parents and luck
We're pointin' our fingers, blamin' our tools
Somebody else is gonna look like a fool.
"The devil made me do it," I heard somebody said
"Or maybe it was God himself, instead."
Even John Calvin's turnin' over in his grave
Hearin' all our excuses for the way we behave
Now I hear you been wond'rin'
why the heaven's turned to bra** -
Well, there ain't no point in lookin'
for the snake in the gra**
Don't yell at your wife, and don't kick the cat
Just tell God the truth -
you know He'll listen to that
Say, "It's my own fault. I went ahead and did it
It's my own fault – can't blame no one but myself
It's my own fault, I went ahead and did it
No matter how I wanna I can't blame nobody else."
