Nobody's fault but mine
Trying to save my soul to light
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine
The devil, he taught me to roll
How to roll the log to light
Nobody's fault but mine
Brother, he showed me the gong
Brother, he showed me the ding dong ding lang
How to kick that gong to light
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine
Gotta monkey on my back
Gonna change my way to light
Nobody's fault but mine
How to kick that gong to light
Nobody's fault
These are all old blues and drug references
(rolling the log to light, kicking the gong, etc.)
