Don't blame your daughter That's just sentimental And don't blame your mum For all that you've done wrong Your daddy's 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 rubber knife Your autograph's 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 mattress 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 try to say Are the ones you should've said They're glistening like diamonds Go out and find them 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 is gone Don't blame it on your son And the song you sing today Wasn't always in your head The words you try to say Are the ones you should've said They're glistening like diamonds Go out and find them, boy! The world is full of diamonds Go out and find them But don't blame your daughter
