Blame It On God (tweaked)
Thank you so much @RainyDayMan & @sidshovel for your most helpful feedback on this song. I feel it's MUCH better. What do you think?

BLAME IT ON GOD
Don’t know how He takes it
Why He doesn’t turn me to dust
Hatin’ on the one who loves me
When He’s the one to trust
And I hate myself for saying:
‘God dammit’ when I do
I should be praying instead
When I’m feeling blue
[Chorus]
When you’re out ‘a straw-men
Can’t go through it again
The most perfect patsy there’s ever been:
Blame it on God
Blame it on God
He’s slippery, that ol’ snake
Turning things upside down
Comes off the angel of light
The Devil’s what you found
I know I don’t deserve it
Don’t deserve a second shot
I should be struck by lightening
But the bad guy, God’s not
[Chorus]
When you’re out ‘a straw-men
Can’t go through it again
The most perfect patsy there’s ever been:
Blame it on God
Blame it on God
[Bridge]
The whole world blames it on God
Seems, it’s an epidemic
The whole world blames it on God
Seems, it’s schizophrenic
Don’t know how He takes it
Why He doesn’t turn me to dust
Hatin’ on the one who loves me
When He’s the one to trust
And I hate myself for saying:
‘God dammit’ when I do
I should be praying instead
Knowing He’ll see me through
[Chorus]
When you’re out ‘a straw-men
Can’t go through it again
The most perfect patsy there’s ever been:
Blame it on God, why do we?
Blame it on God, why do we?
When you’re out ‘a straw-men
Can’t go through it again
The most perfect patsy there’s ever been:
Blame it on God
Blame it on God
Go ahead an’ blame it on God all you want to
But God knows better, yeah-ee-yeh
God Knows Better.

Now you're cooking! Feels like the music and the lyric are lining up.
I particularly like how you sing "Blame it on God" now.
As another suggestion, try a little variation at the start of the chorus by opening on a major chord there (compared to the minor chord in the verse). Something like C, D, Em, C before you get back to that Em at Blame it on God to finish off and bring you back to a minor sound for the next verse.

@RainyDayMan definitely will try it. I'm lost when it comes to the music, really. And just having a cool progression is sometimes all it takes for me to flourish as I used the last one you suggested. Inherently, I knew I should do something different with the chorus and tried but kept flopping. Thanks again!
