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."
