It's your own fault
You went ahead and did it
It's your own fault
Can't blame no one but y'self
'Cause it's your own fault
You went ahead and did it
No matter how you wanna
You can't blame nobody else

'Cause 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

Now, 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

But 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
"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

'Cause 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

Now I hear you been wond'rin'
Why the heaven's turned to brass
Well, there ain't no point in lookin'
For that 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"

'Cause 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 much you want to
You just can't blame nobody else
