| Lyrics |
All 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 long i felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, i went out
And smashed up a church yard round the corner.
