Jesus Of Suburbia

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 cocaine

[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 center 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.
We're 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 athroom stall

[Johnny:]
Like the holy scriptures in a shopping mall

[Tunny:]
And so it seemed to confess

[Will:]
It didn't say much, but it only confirmed

[Tunny:]
That the center 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, etc.

[Johnny:]
Everyone is so full of shit
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!
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care

Iv. Dearly beloved

[Heather:]
Dearly beloved, are you listening?
I can't rememer 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

[All:]
Running away from pain
When you've been victimized
Tales from another broken home

[Will:]
You're leaving
You're leaving
Are you leaving home?
