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 comes by 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 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 instruments 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 blind chance or completely ingrained
Can I say it's an imbalance of the chemical kind
Or is my environment 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 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 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 had and haven't all chased
'Cause you know there's a devil in my DNA
