| Alll day long I felt like
|
| smashing my face in a clear glass window
|
| But instead I went out
|
| and smashed up a phone box round the corner
|
| I never had a chance to choose my own parents
|
| I’d never know 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 a chance to choose my own name
|
| I’d never know why I should be stuck with mine
|
| Mommy’s always talkin' 'bout family pride
|
| and Daddy’s always hiding 'bout his week-end rides
|
| All day long I felt like
|
| smashing my face in a clear glass window
|
| But instead I went out
|
| and smashed up a station wagon round the block
|
| I looked at the mirror and told myself,
|
| I’m glad I still don’t look like them at least
|
| Mommy’s like a film star in a distorted mirror
|
| Daddy’s like a guy who lost his stomach in the war
|
| I went to shake hands with the president in Miami
|
| I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger
|
| And you’d never believe it, surprise to my life
|
| they had paint on their faces just like Mommy’s
|
| 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 the world?
|
| Daddy I’d rather have you dead than crazy
|
| Trying to talk to them is like eating TV dinner when you’re angry
|
| Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream ad 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 the world?
|
| Mommy I’d rather have you dead than crazy
|
| All day |
