All day long I felt like

Smashing my face through a clear glass window

But instead I went out

And smashed up a phone booth around the corner

I never had a chance to choose my own parents
Id never know why I should be stuck with mine

Mommys always trying not to eat

And daddys always smelling like hes pickled in booze

I never had a chance to choose my own name
Id never know why I should be stuck with mine

Mommys always talkin bout family pride

And daddys always hiding from his week-end rides

All day long I felt like

Smashing my neck through a clear glass window

But instead I went out

And smashed up a station wagon round the corner

I looked in the mirror and told myself

Im glad I still dont look like them at least

Mommys like a film star in a distorted mirror

Daddys 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 youd never believe it surprise of my life

They had paint on their faces just like mommy

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 Id rather have you dead than crazy

Trying to talk to them is like eating tv dinner when youre angry

Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream ad when youre hungry

They gave me a watch thats 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 just the world

Mommy Id rather have you dead than crazy

All day long I felt like

Smashing my head in a clear glass window

But instead I went out

And smashed up a church around the corner
