Perhaps, we're just all built flawed.
We can't be blamed for our actions
Because in fact genetics are to blame.
Our relationships go sour because
Perhaps we have some great-grandfather
Who liked to sleep around.
We can not fight what the blood in our veins was
Made to do.
Every double helix in our body correlates to
An event that can go good or bad.
Let's just blame genetics.
I can not control my actions nor can you control yours.
So why don't we just scream at every ancestor,
who passed a trait onto us, rather than at each other.
The only way I can change is if you put me beneath
A microscope and split each and every one of my cells.
Let's just call the war over and blame genetics.

This is very true, but why not thank out ancestors for some of the good things that are in our lives?
