Lyrics

While I was scopin' out the
tube
Some over-educated boob
Comes on and tries to tell me
how our great society is lubed
By pointin' fingers at each
other,
Turnin sister against brother
Blamin' someone else's mother
For the way your life is
screwed

(Chorus)
Own up!
Say "I did it and I'm proud!"
Or else "I made a big
mistake, guess I'm the ogre
in the crowd.
It weren't my mother or my
father,
Or the things they put me
through,
The priest or the communion
or the things they taught in
school!"

If natural selection
Means penultimate rejection,
You can't stand your own
reflection,
Things just haven't gone as
planned,
Find yourself on Jerry
Springer,
Don't let that feeling linger,
Just point and give the
finger with the same right
hand!

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Couldn't grasp the multi-
tasking,
Succeptable to backwards
masking,
Mommy used to dress me formal,
Childhood was far too normal.
Too many Twinkies in my diet,
Saw a show and thought I'd
try it.
If you think that these are
lame.
Try "Society's to blame!"

(Chorus)

A.D.D. and M.T.V.
Hollywood and Tennesee
Conspire to offend most every
sensibility!
My family was broken,
Too much marijuana tokin',
Pick a face out of the crowd
And blame anyone but me!

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

(Chorus)
