Oops, I'm sorry, my fault, my bad

Yikes, I screwed up, whoops, I flubbed that

On your left, no right, frick! dammit

I get those mixed up by habit

Franz Ferdinand was shot in the head

It was the first reported case of basic cause and effect

Before that, things just sorta happened and nobody got upset

Now for every consequence he gets a royalty check, I envy

Franz Ferdinand, shot in the head

He might've been the first but you ain't seen nothin yet

I'm like if Dr Frankenstein and Rueben Goldberg ever met

Killed by my creation but with 20 extra steps

Oops, I'm sorry, my fault, my bad

Yikes, I screwed up, whoops, I flubbed that

On your left, no right, frick! dammit

I get those mixed up by habit

And someday I'll get out of my way

Sometimes your glass is half full but it was empty when you left it

And sometimes your mom's boyfriend's dentures are at the bottom of your beverage

And when a pessimist would spit it up and curse his rotten luck

The desperate would suck it up and plug his nose and chug

Oops, I'm sorry, my fault, my oops

Yikes, I oops up, whoops, I flubbed that

On your left, oops right, frick! dammit

I get those mixed up by habit

And someday I'll get out of my way

Someday I'll get out of my way

I watched you set up this whole contraption

And then feign your surprise when it worked just like you planned it

You may fool the inattentive and the trusting in the masses

But you know first and second hand that I told you this would happen

You have to understand you can't just wash your hands of this and walk away

Can't just set it all in motion and say: I gotta go!

An apology on its own isn't worth its weight

And pretending its the high road, man? That's just...

Another Domino! fallin' as you're walkin' away

Another Domino! falls and things are never the same

Another Domino! falls and you're absolved of the blame?

Another Domino! falls and all you have to say is:

Oops, I'm sorry, oops my oops my bad

Oops you, I screwed oops, whoops, I oops

On your left oops, nah, I messed up

Let me try that again!

I said: Oops, my oops my fault my bad, my oops

Yikes screwed up oops I flubbed that

On your oops, whoops oops, frick, dammit

I get oops oops oops oops dammit

And someday I'll get out of my way

Someday I'll get out of my way

Yeah, someday I'll get out of my own way

Oops
