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

Get my television fix sitting on my crucifix
The living room, or my private womb
While the moms and Brads away
To fall in love and fall in debt
To alcohol and cigarettes and marey Jane
To keep me insane, doing someone else's cocaine

And theres nothing wrong with me,
this is how i'm supposed to be,
ina land of make believe,
that don't belive in me

[Part 2: City Of The d___ed]

At the center of the earth,
in the parking lot
Of the 7-11 were 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,
City of the dead,
At the end of another lost highway,
Sign misleading to nowhere,
city of the d___ed,
lost children with dirty faces today,
no one really seems to care,

I read the graffiti
In the bathroom stall
Like the holy scriptures of the shopping mall,
And so it seemed to confess,
It didn't say much
But it only confirmed that
The center of the earth
Is the end of the world,
And I could really care less

City of the dead,
al the end of another lost highway,
signs missleading to nowere,
City of the d___ed,
Lost children with dirty faces today,
No one really seems to care,

[Part 3: I don't care]

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I dont care if you dont care (x4)

Everyone so full of s___,
Born and raised by hypocrites,
Hearts recycled but never saved,
From the cradle to the grave,
We are the kids of war and peace,
From Anaheim to the middle east,
We are the stories and disciples Of
The Jesus Of Suburbia,
Land of make believe,
And it don't believe in me,
Land of make believe,
And I don't believe,
And I don't care!

[Part 4: Dearly beloved]

dearly beloved are you listening?
I cant remember a word that you were saying,
Are we demented or am i disturbed?
The s___e that's in between insane and insecure,
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I r_____ed or am I just overjoyed?
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused,
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse

[Part 5: Tales of another broken home]

To live and not to breathe,
Is to die In tragedy,
To run, to run away,
To find what you believe,

And I leave behind,
This hurricane of f___ing lies,

I lost my faith to this,
This town that don't exist,
So I run,
I run away,
The light of m________,

And I leave behind,
This hurricane of f___ing lies,
And I walk this line,
A million and one f___ing times,
But not this time,

I don't feel any shame,
I won't apologize,
When there ain't nowhere you can go,
Running away from pain
When you've been victimized,
Tales from another broken home,
Your leaving,
Your leaving,
Your leaving,
Are you leaving home.
