Devil in My DNA Lyrics

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 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 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 left 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 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 left 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 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 my fears and for my fatal flaws
Everything that I've battled and haven't I've chased
Cause you know there's a devil in my DNA
