Don’t Break the 8 Ball

Don’t break the 8 ball
If the English is all wrong
Don’t blame the shaky voice
That sings a worried song
Don’t blame the muddy ground
For the mighty tree that fell
Don’t blame the Devil
When you die and go to Hell
—
Don’t blame the masses
For the fingers in your pie
Don’t blame the broken
When they break right down and cry
Don’t blame the gullible
For the lies you tell
Don’t blame the Devil
When you die and go to Hell
Don’t break the 8 ball…
 
Don’t blame the wooden nickels
Or the magic beans
Don’t blame the news because
You don’t know what it means
Don’t blame the postman
If the check ain’t in the mail
Don’t blame the Devil
If you die and go to Hell
Don’t break the 8 ball…
 
Don’t blame the monkey
Crawling up and down your back
Don’t blame your ticker
For your second heart attack
Don’t blame the bloody knuckles
Ring your guilty bell
Don’t blame the Devil
When you die and go to Hell
Don’t break the 8 ball…
