All day long,
I felt like
Smashing my head through a clear glass window,
But instead,
I went out,
And smashed up a phone booth around the corner.

I never had the chance to
Choose my own parents
I never knew 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 the chance to
Choose my own name
I never knew why
I should be stuck with mine;
Mommy's always talking about family pride,
And Daddy's always hiding from his weekend bride.

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 around the corner.

I looked in the mirror,
And told myself,
"At least I don't look like them at least."
Mommy's like a filmstar in a distorted mirror,
Dadd'ys like a guy who lost his stomach in the war.

I went to shake hands with the President in Miami,
I went to a rockshow to see Mick Jagger,
You'll never believe it,
The surprise of my life,
They had paint on their faces just like my 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 just the world?
Daddy, I'd reather have you dead than crazy.

Trying to talk to them is like
Eating chicken dinner when you're angry.
Trying to get their love is like
Watching ice cream melt 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 just the world?
Mommy, I'd reather have you dead than crazy.

All day long,
I felt like
Smashing my head through a clear glass window,
But instead,
I went out,
And smashed up a church around the corner.
