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.
