The underbelly's accidental high The dummy failed the crash test Collecting unemployment checks The flunky only along for the ride Where have all the riots gone? Acid City's model gets pulverized What's in love is now in debt On your birth certificate So strike the fucking match to light this fuse The television's an obstructionist And you don't even know that you exist. Standin' still with suit and tie You better run for your fucking life It's not over 'till you're underground It's not hope before it's too late This city's burning. It's not my burden It's not long before it's too late There is nothing left to analyze Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself? And where we will all go when it's too late Well don't look back You're not the Jesus of Suburbia The St. Jimmy's opinion of Your father's praise and your mother's love That's made the idiot America It's not over till you're underground It's not hope before it's too late This city's burning. It's not my burden It's not long before it's too late She said I can't take this place I'm leaving it behind Well she said I can't take this town I'm leaving you tonight
