[C]-[C]-[C]-[C] I’m the son of rage and love

[Am]-[Am]-[Am]-[Am] The Jesus of suburbia

[F]From the bible of none of the above

On a ste[G]ady diet of

[C]-[C]-[C]-[C] Soda pop and Ritalin

[Am]-[Am]-[Am]-[Am] No one ever died for my

[F]Sins in hell, as far as I can tell

At least the on[G]es I’ve gotten away with

And there’s [F]nothing wrong with m[G]e

This is ho[F]w I’m supposed to [G]be

In a la[F]nd of make belie[G]ve

That don’t believe in me

[C]..[G] [F] (2x)

[C]-[C]-[C]-[C] Get my television fix

[Am]-[Am]-[Am]-[Am] Sitting on my crucifix

[F]The living room or my private womb

While the mo[G]ms and brads are away

[C]-[C]-[C]-[C] To fall in love and fall in debt

[Am]-[Am]-[Am]-[Am] To alcohol and cigarettes

And M[F]ary Jane to keep me insane

And doing so[G]meone else’s cocaine

And there’s [F]nothing wrong with [G]me

This is h[F]ow I’m supposed to [G]be

In a la[F]nd of make believ[G]e

That don’t believe in me

..G [F][2x]

[C]-[C]-[C]-[C]

[E]-[E]-[E]-[E] [Am]-[Am]-[Am]- [G] [F]..[G]

At the c[C]enter of the earth

In the[C/B] parking lot

Of the 7-[Am]11 were I was tau[G]ght

[F]..The motto was just a l[G]ie

It says h[C]ome is were your heart is

But what[C/B] a shame

Cause ev[Am]eryone’s heart

doesn’t bea[G]t the same

[F]..We’re beating out of ti[G]me

[Am]..City of [G]the dead

[C]At the end of an[F]other lost highway

[Am]Signs misle[G]ading to nowhe[F]re

[Am]City o[G]f the damned

[C]Lost children with d[F]irty faces today

[Am]No one r[G]eally seems to ca[F]re

I re[C]ad the graffiti

In the [C/B]bathroom stall

Like the h[Am]oly scriptures of a sho[G]pping mall

[F]..And so it seemed to conf[G]ess

It d[C]idn’t say much

But it o[C/B]nly confirmed that

The cen[Am]ter of the earth is the end of t[G]he world

[F]..And I could really care l[G]ess

[Am]City of [G]the dead

[C]At the end of [F]another lost highway

[Am]Sign mis[G]leading to [F]nowhere

[Am]City of [G]the damned

[C]Lost children with [F]dirty faces today

[Am]No one [G]really seems to [F]care…

[C]Everyone is so full of shi[G#]-[G]t

[C]Born and raised by hypocri[G#]-[G]tes

[C]Hearts recycled but never s[G#]-[G]aved

[C]From the cradle to the g[G#]-[G]rave

[C]We are the kids of war and p[G#]-[G]eace

[C]From Anaheim to the Middle E[G#]-[G]ast

[C]We are the stories and discip[G#]-[G]les

[C]Of the Jesus of suburb[G#]-[G]ia

[F]Land of make [G]believ[C]e [G]

[F]And it don’t [G]believe in [C]me [G]
