I'm the son of rage and love The Jesus of suburbia From the bible of none of the above On a steady diet of soda pop and Ritalin No one ever died for my sins in hell As far as I can tell At least the ones I got away with
And there's nothing wrong with me This is how I'm supposed to be In a land of make believe That don't believe in me
Get my television fix sitting on my crucifix The living room or my private womb While the moms and brads are away To fall in love and fall in debt To alcohol and cigarettes and Mary Jane To keep me insane and doing someone else's cocaine
And there's nothing wrong with me This is how I'm supposed to be In a land of make believe That don't believe in me
[Part 2: City Of The Damned]
At the center of the Earth In the parking lot Of the 7-11 where I was taught The motto was just a lie It says home is where your heart is But what a shame Cause everyone's heart Doesn't beat the same It's beating out of time
City of the dead At the end of another lost highway Signs misleading to nowhere City of the damned Lost children with dirty faces today No one really seems to care
I read the graffiti In the bathroom stall Like the holy scriptures of the shopping mall And so it seemed to confess It didn't say much But it only confirmed that The center of the earth Is the end of the world And I could really care less
City of the dead At the end of another lost highway Signs misleading to nowhere City of the damned Lost children with dirty faces today No one really seems to care
[Part 3: I Don't Care]
I don't care if you don't I don't care if you don't I don't care if you don't care [X4]
I don't care
Everyone is so full of shit Born and raised by hypocrites Hearts recycled but never saved From the cradle always to the grave We are the kids of war and peace From Anaheim to the middle east We are the stories and disciples Of the Jesus of suburbia Land of make believe And that don't believe in me Land of make believe And I don't believe And I don't care! I don't care! [x4]
[Part 4: Dearly Beloved]
Dearly beloved are you listening? I can't remember a word that you were saying Are we demented or am I disturbed? The space that's in between insane and insecure Oh, therapy, can you please fill the void? Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed Nobody's perfect and I stand accused For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse
[Part 5: Tales Of Another Broken Home]
To live and not to breathe Is to die In tragedy To run, to run away To find what you believe And I leave behind This hurricane of fucking lies
I lost my faith to this This town that don't exist So I run I run away To the light of masochist And I leave behind This hurricane of fucking lies And I walked this line A million and one fucking times But not this time
I don't feel any shame I won't apologize
When there ain't nowhere you can go Running away from pain When you've been victimized Tales from another broken home
Я – сын страсти и любви. Иисус из предместья. Я не тот, о ком написано в четырех Евангелиях. Я вырос на содовой, попкорне и риталине. Никто не искупал мои грехи в аду, Даже те, Которые сошли мне с рук.
Со мной всё в порядке. Просто я должен быть таким В выдуманной стране, Которая в меня не верит.
Почини мне телевизор, сидя на моём распятии, В моей гостиной или утробе. Пока мамочки и братья в отлучке, Можно влюбиться и попасть в долговую яму За алк
