|
All day long, I felt like |
|
Smashing my face in a clear glass window |
|
But instead, I went out |
|
And smashed up a phone box 'round the corner |
|
I never had a chance to choose my own parents |
|
I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine |
|
Mommy's always trying not to eat |
|
And daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze |
|
I never had a chance to choose my own name |
|
I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine |
|
Mommy's always talkin' 'bout family pride |
|
And daddy's always hiding 'bout his weekend rides |
|
All day long, I felt like |
|
Smashing my face in a clear glass window |
|
But instead, I went out |
|
And smashed up a station wagon 'round the block |
|
I looked at the mirror and told myself |
|
I'm glad I still don't look like them, at least |
|
Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror |
|
Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war |
|
I went to shake hands with the president in Miami |
|
I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger |
|
And you'd never believe it, surprise to my life |
|
They had paint on their faces, just like mommy's |
|
Am I going crazy, or is it just you, daddy? |
|
Am I going nuts, or is it just you, mommy? |
|
Am I plain gone, or is it the world? |
|
Daddy, i'd rather have you dead than crazy |
|
Trying to talk to them is like eating tv dinner when you're angry |
|
Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream ad when you're hungry |
|
They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break |
|
But my mommy and daddy broke up last fall |
|
Am I going crazy, or is it just you, daddy? |
|
Am I going nuts, or is it just you, mommy? |
|
Am I plain gone, or is it the world? |
|
Mommy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy |
|
All day long, I felt like |
|
Smashing my face in a clear glass window |
|
But instead, i went out |
|
And smashed up a churchyard 'round the corner |
