Ain't my fault

d jon downs

Ain't my fault I
Punched Li'l Sissie
In her round, smiling
Six-year-old face.
Ain't my fault cuz
She didn't do what I told her to.
And ain't that just beggin for it?

Ain't my fault I
Never once did my homework or
Any work to speak of
In my young life.
Ain't my fault cuz
Momma never made me.
And who ever needs that junk?

Ain't my fault I
Knocked up that bitch
Some high school skank who
Gave when I needed it.
Ain't my fault cuz
The damn Trojan busted.
And will I ever see it anyway?

Ain't my fault I
Choke on my own blood and
Cough up chunks of black
Each and every morning.
Ain't my fault cuz
Those bastards lied to me.
And caveatemptorwhat?

Ain't my fault I
Mowed down that pansy
With his K-Mart shoes and
Fancy university texts.
Ain't my fault cuz
My blood alcohol was .17

And what would I've done
for the next 20 anyhow?
