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 matress
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 tryin´ to say
are the ones you shouldn´t ´ve said
they´re glistenin´ like diamonds,
go out and find´ em
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 tryin´ to say
are the ones you shouldn´t ´ve said
they´re glistening like diamonds,
go out and find´em
The world is full of diamonds
go out and find´em
but don´t blame your daughter
