Don't blame your daughter
That's just sentimental
And don't blame your mum
Or all that you've done wrong
Your daddy's 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 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 that 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 rubber 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
