I. Jesus of Suburbia
[JOHNNY]
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
But 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
[WILL]
Get my television fix
[JOHNNY]
Sitting on my crucifix
[WILL]
The living room in my private womb
[JOHNNY]
While the moms and Brads are away
[WILL]
To fall in love
[JOHNNY]
And fall in debt
To alcohol
[WILL]
And cigarettes
[JOHNNY]
And Mary Jane
[WILL]
To keep me insane
[JOHNNY]
Doing someone else's c**aine
[BOTH]
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
II. City of the Damned
[TUNNY]
At the centre 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
[TUNNY, JOHNNY and WILL]
City of the dead
[TUNNY]
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
[TUNNY, JOHNNY and WILL]
City of the damned
[TUNNY]
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care
I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall
[JOHNNY]
Like the holy scriptures in a shopping mall
[JOHNNY and TUNNY]
And so it seemed to confess
[WILL]
It didn't say much, but it only confirmed
[TUNNY]
That the centre of the earth
Is the end of the world
[TUNNY, JOHNNY and WILL]
And I could really care less
City of the dead
[TUNNY]
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
[TUNNY, JOHNNY and WILL]
City of the damned
TUNNY:
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care
III. I Don't Care
[JOHNNY]
I don't care if you don't-
[WILL]
I don't care if you don't-
[TUNNY]
I don't care if you don't care
[ALL]
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 [x3]
And I don't Care!
[JOHNNY]
Everyone's so-
Everyone's SO-
Everyone's so-
Everyone's so-
Everyone is so full of sh**
Born and raised by hypocrites
[WILL]
Hearts recycled but never saved
From the cradle to the grave
[TUNNY]
We are the kids of war and peace
From Anaheim to the Middle East
[TUNNY and WILL]
We are the stories and disciples of...
[ALL]
The Jesus of Suburbia!
Land of make-believe
And it don't believe in me
Land of make-believe and I don't believe
[JOHNNY, WILL, and TUNNY]
And I don't care! (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
I don't care (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
I don't care (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
I don't care (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
I don't care (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
I don't care
IV. Dearly Beloved
[HEATHER]
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
V. Tales of Another Broken Home
[JOHNNY]
To live and not to breathe
[JOHNNY, TUNNY, and WILL]
Is to die in tragedy
[JOHNNY]
To run, to run away
[JOHNNY, TUNNY, and WILL]
To find what you believe
And I leave behind
This hurricane of f**ing lies
[JOHNNY]
I lost my faith to this
[JOHNNY, TUNNY, and WILL]
This town that don't exist
[JOHNNY]
So I run
I run away
[JOHNNY, TUNNY and WILL]
To find what I believe
And I leave behind
This hurricane of f**ing lies
And I walked this line
A million and one f**ing times
But not this time!
[HEATHER]
I don't feel any shame
I won't apologize!
When there ain't nowhere you can go
[COMPANY]
Running away from pain
When you've been victimized
Tales from another broken...
[ALL]
Home!
[WILL]
You're leaving?
You're leaving!
Are you leaving home?
