Less Than Jake

Devil in My DNA

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 and a hit and a miss
Can I say my influence becomes my design
or is science and cigarettes my compromise
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 lives
how can this be my fault I'm
always right

There's a devil in my DNA
programmed parts from all the starts
or is there no one else to blame
for my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs
fact is I'm just a living sum
of all my parts

When do instructions come with a catch?
and when is self destruction just proven as fact
is it just blind faith or the family name
is it all by chance or completely ingrained
can I say it's 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 lives
how can this be my fault I'm
always right

There's a devil in my DNA
programmed parts from all the starts
or is there no one else to blame
for my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs
fact is I'm just a living sum
of all my parts

Cause I know I've wasted way too many times
living way too many lives
how can this be my fault I'm
always right

There's a devil in my DNA
programmed parts from all the starts
or is there no one else to blame
for my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs
fact is I'm just a living sum
of all my parts
There's a devil in my DNA
programmed parts from all the starts
or is there no one else to blame
for my tangled up gears and my turnstile jobs
every one of my fears and both my fatal flaws
everything that I battle and habits I chase
cause you know there's a devil in my DNA
cause you know there's a devil in my DNA
cause you know there's a devil in my DNA
cause you know there's a devil in my DNA
