Lyrics:
I'm the son of rage and love
The Jesus of suburbia
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
They don't believe in me

Get my television fixed
Sitting on my crucifix
The living room
On my 
private womb
While the Moms and Brads are away

At the center of the Earth
In a parking lot
Of the 7-11 where
I was 
taught
The motto was just a lie

It said "Home is where your heart is"
But what a shame
Because everyone's 
heart doesn't beat the same
It's beating out of time

City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere

City of the damned
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 
a shopping mall
And all it seems 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

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care

I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!

Everyone's so full of sh**
Born and raised by hypocrites
Hearts recycled but never saved
From the cradles to the graves
We are the kids of War & 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

And I don't care

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 yet I stand accused
For lack of a better word and that's my best excuse

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**king lies

I lost
My faith to this
This town
That don't exist

So I run
I run away
To the lights
Of masochists
And I
Leave behind
This hurricane of f**king lies

And I
Walked this line
A million and one f**king 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!!!!!

YOU'RE LEAVING!!
GOT TO LIVE AT HOME!!
