Lyrics

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 It's beating out of time [TUNNY, JOHNNY & WILL, OTHERS] City of the dead Hey! Hey! [TUNNY, OTHERS] At the end of another lost highway Hey! Hey! Signs misleading to nowhere [TUNNY, JOHNNY & WILL, OTHERS] City of the damned Hey! Hey! [TUNNY, OTHERS] Lost children with dirty faces today Hey! Hey! No one really seems to care I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall [JOHNNY] Like the holy scriptures in a shopping mall [JOHNNY & 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 & WILL, OTHERS] And I could really care less City of the dead Hey! Hey! [TUNNY, OTHERS] At the end of another lost highway Hey! Hey! Signs misleading to nowhere [TUNNY, JOHNNY & WILL, OTHERS] City of the damned Hey! Hey! [TUNNY, OTHERS] Lost children with dirty faces today Hey! Hey! 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 [OTHERS] 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 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 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 I don't care [JOHNNY] Everyone's so- Everyone's so- Everyone's so- Everyone's so- 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 & 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, (OTHERS)] 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 Is to die in tragedy To run, to run away [JOHNNY, TUNNY, & WILL] To find what you believe And I leave behind This hurricane of fucking lies [WILL] I lost [ALL] Huh! [WILL] My faith to this [JOHNNY, TUNNY, & WILL] This town that don't exist [TUNNY] So I run I run away [JOHNNY, TUNNY and WILL] To find what I believe And I leave behind This hurricane of fucking lies And I walked this line A million and one fucking 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! [ALL & WILL] You're leaving You're leaving You're leaving Are you leaving home?
