Jesus of Suburbia
[00:01.39] I'm the son of rage and love, the Jesus of Suburbia
[00:06.39] The bible of none of the above on a steady diet of
[00:11.14] Soda pop and Ritalin, no one ever died
[00:19.14] For my sins in Hell, as far as I can tell
[00:22.39] At least the ones I got away with
[00:25.63] And there's nothing wrong with me
[00:28.89] This is how I'm supposed to be
[00:32.38] In a land of make believe
[00:35.38] That don't believe in me
[00:37.63] Get my television fix, sitting on my crucifix
[00:50.13] A living room for my private womb, while the moms and Brads are away
[00:55.14] To fall in love and fall in debt, to alcohol and cigarettes
[01:03.38] And mary jane to keep me insane doing someone else's cocaine
[01:09.13] And there's nothing wrong with me
[01:12.38] This is how I'm supposed to be
[01:16.14] In a land of make believe
[01:19.14] That don't believe in me
[01:23.14] At the center of the earth, in the parking lot
[01:59.38] Of the 7-11 where I was taught
[02:02.64] The motto was just a lie
[02:08.14] It says: "Home is where your heart is", but what a shame
[02:12.14] 'Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same
[02:15.38] It's beating out of time
[02:20.63] City of the dead at the end of another lost highway
[02:28.63] Signs misleading to nowhere
[02:33.39] City of the damned lost children with dirty faces today
[02:41.39] No one really seems to care
[02:47.14] I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall
[02:50.39] Like the holy scriptures of the shopping mall
[02:53.63] And so it seemed to confess
[02:59.88] It didn't say much, but it only confirmed
[03:02.88] That the center of the earth is the end of the world
[03:06.39] Aand I could really care less
[03:11.88] City of the dead at the end of another lost highway
[03:19.38] Signs misleading to nowhere
[03:24.38] City of the damned lost children with dirty faces today
[03:31.88] No one really seems to care
[03:41.63] I don't care if you don't
[03:51.38] I don't care if you don't
[03:53.63] I don't care if you don't care
[03:57.39] I don't care if you don't
[03:59.64] I don't care if you don't
[04:01.63] I don't care if you don't care
[04:05.63] I don't care if you don't
[04:07.64] I don't care if you don't
[04:09.63] I don't care if you don't care
[04:13.63] I don't care if you don't
[04:15.88] I don't care if you don't
[04:17.89] I don't care if you don't care
[04:21.63] I don't care
[04:25.63] Everyone's so full of shit
[04:36.14] Born and raised by hypocrites
[04:38.88] Hearts recycled but never saved
[04:41.63] From the cradles to the grave
[04:44.39] We are the kids of war and peace
[04:46.88] From Anaheim to the middle east
[04:49.63] We are the stories and disciples of
[04:52.38] The Jesus of Suburbia
[04:55.38] Land of make believe
[04:57.63] And it don't believe in me
[05:00.63] Land of make believe
[05:03.88] And it don't believe
[05:06.14] And I don't care
[05:06.88] I don't care
[05:10.64] I don't care
[05:13.39] I don't care
[05:16.14] I don't care
[05:20.14] Dearly beloved, are you listening?
[05:30.39] I can't remember a word that you were saying
[05:35.14] Are we demented or am I disturbed?
[05:41.13] The space that's in between insane and insecure
[05:46.39] Oh, therapy, can you please fill the void?
[06:02.88] Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed?
[06:07.88] Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
[06:13.89] For lack of a better word and that's my best excuse
[06:18.88] To live and not to breathe
[06:43.38] Is to die in tragedy
[06:48.63] To run, to run away
[06:53.63] To find what you believe
[06:58.39] And I leave behind
[07:03.64] This hurricane of fucking lies
[07:08.14] I lost my faith to this
[07:12.89] This town that don't exist
[07:18.13] So I run, I run away
[07:22.88] The lights of masochists
[07:27.88] And I leave behind
[07:33.13] This hurricane of fucking lies
[07:38.39] And I walked this line
[07:43.14] A million and one fucking times
[07:48.14] But not this time
[07:49.89] I don't feel any shame, I won't apologize
[08:28.89] When there ain't nowhere you can go
[08:33.63] Running away from pain when you've been victimized
[08:40.14] Tales from another broken home
[08:47.64] You're leaving, you're leaving
[08:52.63] You're leaving, you're leaving home
