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 passin' 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 brass -
Well, there ain't no point in lookin'
For the snake in the grass
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."
