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 is 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
And the song you sing today Wasn't always in your head, The words you trying to say Are the ones you shouldn't 've said They're glistening like diamonds, Go out and find them But don't blame your daughter
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
And the song you sing today Wasn't always in your head, The words you trying to say Are the ones you shouldn't 've said They're glistening like diamonds, Go out and find them
The world is full of diamonds Go out and find them But don't blame your daughter
