Devil in My DNA - Less Than Jake

When is common sense too much to ask?

And then when did consequences get left in the past

Is it just bad habits or a typical script

Is it all big plans then a swing and a miss

Can say my influence become by design

Or is science and cigarettes my compromise

I don’t know by I’m blamed everyone else

Just as long as I never put the blame on myself

Cause I know, I’ve wasted way too many times

Living way too many lies

How can this be my fault, I’m always right

There’s a devil in my DNA

Programmed parts from all the start

Or is there no one else to blame?

For my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs

Fact is I’m just a living son of all my parts

When do instruments come with a catch?

And when is self-destruction just proven as a fact?

Is it blind faith or the family name?

Is it all by chance or completely ingrained?

Can I say it’s an imbalance of the chemical kind

Or is my environment that becomes my only disguise

I don’t know but I’m blaming everyone else

Just as long as I never put the blame on myself

Cause I know, I’ve wasted way too many times

Living way too many lies

How can this be my fault, I’m always right

There’s a devil in my DNA

Programmed parts from all the start

Or is there no one else to blame?

For my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs

Fact is I’m just a living son of all my parts

Cause I know, I’ve wasted way too many times

Living way too many lies

How can this be my fault, I’m always right

There’s a devil in my DNA

Programmed parts from all the start

Or is there no one else to blame?

For my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs

Every one of five fears and for my fatal flaws

Everything that I’ve had and haven’t all chased

Cause you know there’s a devil in my DNA
