[Verse 1] Don't blame your daughter, that's just sentimental And don't blame your mom for all that you've done wrong Your dad is not guilty, you came out a little faulty And the factory closed, so you can't hold them liable You come from an island, you're cutting diamonds with a rubbery knife Your autograph's worthless, so don't send me letters And don't mail me cash cause your money is no good What's left in your mattress is holes and lack of love left Some hair from a horse and none of it is yours, man You come from an island, you're cutting diamonds with a rubbery knife [Chorus] And the song you sing today wasn't always in your head The words you're trying to say are the ones you shouldn't have said They're glistening like diamonds, go out and find 'em But don't blame your daughter [Verse 2] Read me your tombstone, tell me you're sorry Fax me your will, you owe me something still Blood is like water, the bath that you poured me Has drained and it's gone, don't blame it on your son [Chorus] And the song you sing today wasn't always in your head The words you're trying to say are the ones you shouldn't have said They're glistening like diamonds, go out and find 'em For him The world is full of diamonds, go out and find 'em But don't blame your daughter
