Not My Fault |
1998 Todd E. Jones
It all began in the uterus,
where I was fed a steady diet of nicotine
I was up to a pack and a half before I hit the ripe age of thirteen
I'd like to say I'm responsible, but my addictions are beyond my control
I'm suing Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man, 'cause I know
it's unavoidably so, I'm such a little victim
It's not my fault
I'm such a tiny piece of flotsam
Not my fault
floating aimlessly at sea
Not my fault
You want excuses? Well I got some
Not my fault
I'm just as blameless as can be
As far as social relationships, I learned everything I know
from a TV set
Loving and killing and keeping teeth white, I'm a remote control marionette
I'd like to say I'm responsible, but my favorite Gilligan's Island is on
The one where they're about to make their final escape,
but
no
it's unthinkably so, I'm such a little victim
Then there's that evening with Hortense when she dragged me to the back of my Cherokee Sport
She got me drunk off her loveliness and now she's hitting me up for overdue
child support
I'd like to say I'm responsible, but my testosterone's beyond my control
It's like a beast with a mind of its own, don't you know?
It's unavoidably so, I'm such a little victim
Then there's that night I got wasted. They kept setting up
shots 'til I couldn't see
They should have stopped me from driving, 'cause I lost my best friend when
the car hit a tree
I'd like to say I'm accountable, but my debauchery's beyond my control
I'd like to say I'm responsible, but no
it's undeniably so, I'm such a little victim
tiny little victim, pretty little victim
