Devil in My DNA

[Verse 1]

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 become by design?

Or is science and cigarettes my compromise?

I don't know by I'm blamin' everyone else

Just as long as I never put the blame on myself

[Pre-Chorus]

'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

[Chorus]

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

Fact is I'm just a living sum

Of all my parts

[Verse 2]

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 imbalance of the chemical kind?

Or is my environment my only disguise?

I don't know but I'm blamin' everyone else

Just as long as I never put the blame on myself

[Pre-Chorus]

'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

[Chorus]

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

Fact is I'm just a living sum

Of all my parts

[Pre-Chorus]

'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

[Chorus]

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

Fact is I'm just a living sum

Of all my parts

[Extended Chorus]

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 chased

'Cause you know there's a devil in my DNA

[Outro]

'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
