Coming Home |
| I’m not happy with myself these days |
| I took the best parts of the script and I made them all cliché |
| And this red bandana’s surely gonna fade |
| Even though its the only thing the fire didn’t take |
| Everybody says you’ll grow a lot from this experience |
| Maybe become zen after a while, become a president |
| Blessings get disguised sometimes but all I know |
| Is I finally know the difference between going back and going home |
| There’s a lady on my block that has a kid |
| As he swims in the above ground pool, she seals up the lid |
| And he thinks it’s kind of normal that she hides |
| Up the cuts and all the bruises, she says it’s warpaint for the eyes |
| She tells her son she did the best she could as she buries dad |
| Maybe he’ll grow up to be a man unlike his father did |
| As I leave the driveway for the northern snow |
| They finally know the difference between going back and going home |
| Cut to a life being born in '69 |
| Middle-class suburbs, everything’s fine |
| Fondue parties, my mom and my dads |
| Drinks being drunk, and fights being had |
| I lost my virginity to a girl in my band |
| She was 4 years older, she made me a man |
| So addicted to sex every chance that I got |
| With whoever I wanted, until I got caught |
| So I took my penicillin, and I took my band |
| To a town made of glitter-girls and cocaine friends |
| Got handed the dream by the age of 18 |
| Saw more than most people that I know had ever seen |
| Played every bar, drank till black and blue |
| Did the morning show bullshit and went to China too |
| Where they left us to die without a ticket to flee |
| Inciting a riot, we were only 23 |
| Packed it up, started over just as fast as we can |
| Selling tapes, making merch in the back of a van |
| Living hand-to-mouth for the next 5 years |
| Took up drinking wine, gave up drinking beer |
| Signed another big deal with a devil in a dress |
| A one-hit-wonder I think described it best |
| Decided to burn out than to fade a way |
| Went back to the van the very next day |
| Built it up, made a living without any help |
| Made amazing friends, if I say so myself |
| If living like this at 38 is a bore |
| Then come on, God, please give me 38 more |
| Everybody knows I’ve seen a lot, yeah I’m experienced |
| Makes you feel so old after a while, just like our president |
| Every time I come back in this town I know |
| I finally know the difference between going back and going home |
