lyrics :
i’m the son of rage and love 
 the jesus of suburbia 
 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

but there’s nothing wrong with me 
 this is how i’m supposed to be 
 in a land
of make believe 
 they don’t believe in me

get my television fixed 
 sitting on my crucifix 
 the living room 
 on my
private womb 
 while the moms and brads are away

at the center of the earth 
 in a parking lot 
 of the 7 – 11 where 
 i was
taught 
 the motto was just a lie

it said “home is where your heart is” 
 but what a shame 
 because 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
a shopping mall 
 and all it seems 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

i don’t care if you don’t
i don’t care if you don’t care

i don’t care!!!!!!!

everyone’s so full of sh * *
born and raised by hypocrites
hearts recycled but never saved
from the cradles to the graves
we are the kids of war & peace
from anaheim to the middle east
we are the stories and disciples of
the jesus of suburbia

land of make believe
and it don’t believe in me

and i don’t care

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 yet i stand accused
for lack of a better word and that’s my best excuse

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 F * * king lies

i lost
my faith to this
this town
that don’t exist

so i run
i run away
to the lights
of masochists
and i
leave behind
this hurricane of F * * king lies

and i
walked this line
a million and one F * * king 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!!!!!

you’re leaving!!
got to live at home!!
