Lyrics
Mom and dad are mad tonight and the dinner table's silent
My sisters gettin' crabby and my brothers gettin' violent
Things are looking bad tonight, it's really plain to see
I don't know who's to blame, but don't complain to me
Cause it's not my fault
No it's not my fault
My family bit my head off, and all I said was pass the salt
It's not my fault
No it's not my fault
When no one else is talkin' I just tell myself it's not my fault
Maybe I should tell a joke, make everybody laugh
But every time I tell one I forget the second half
Maybe they're all sick of me from being such a jerk
Maybe they're so tired, maybe mom's overworked
It's not my fault
No it's not my fault
But no ones saying nothing cause they don't have nothing nice to say
It's not my fault
No it's not my fault
When no one else is talking I just tell myself that I'm okay
You might be reaffirming about acting to this code
People fight no matter what you do
You catch each other dancing like you catch each other's cold
That's when you got to tell yourself that it's not because of you
It's not my fault
No it's not my fault
I know I'm not the one that put my family in a rotten mood
It's not my fault
No it's not my fault
And just because we're fighting doesn't mean were gonna come unglued
