Lyrics
[Intro]
My heart is beatin' from me
I'm standin' all alone
Please call me only
If you are comin' home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
You taught me how to live
[Verse 1]
In the streets of shame
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain
There's no signs of hope
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope
There's a glow of light
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night
Bearing gifts and trust
A fixture in the city of lust
[Chorus]
What the hell's your name?
What's your pleasure? What is your pain?
Do you dream too much?
Do you think what you need is a crutch?
[Verse 2]
In the crowd of pain
St. Jimmy comes without any shame
And says, "We're fucked up, but we're not the same
And Mom and Dad are the ones you can blame"
[Chorus]
Jimmy died today
He blew his brains out into the bay
In the state of mind
It's my own private suicide
[Intro]
Well, nobody cares, well, nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
Well, nobody cares, well, nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
[Verse 3]
Jesus fillin' out paperwork now
At the facility on East 12th Street
He's not listening to a word now
He's in his own world and he's daydreaming
He'd rather be doin' somethin' else now
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly
His life's on the line with anxiety now
She had enough, and he had plenty
[Chorus]
Somebody get me out of here
Anybody get me out of here
Somebody get me out of here
Get me the fuck right out of here
[Bridge]
So far away, I don't wanna stay
Get me outta here right now
Just wanna be free, is there a possibility?
Get me outta here right now
Ow, ow
Ow, ow, right
This lifelike dream ain't for me
[Verse 4]
I fell asleep while watching Spike TV
After ten cups of coffee and you're still not here
Dreamin' of a song, but somethin' went wrong
And you can't tell anyone 'cause no one's here
[PreChorus]
Left me here alone
And I shoulda stayed home
After ten cups of coffee, I'm thinkin'
[Chorus]
Where'd you go?
Nobody likes you, everyone left you
Where'd you go?
They're all out without you, havin' fun
Where'd you go?
Everyone left you, nobody likes you
Where'd you go?
They're all out without you, havin' fun
Where'd you go?
[Verse 5]
Jeez
I got a rock and roll band, I got a rock and roll life
I got a rock and roll girlfriend and another ex-wife
I got a rock and roll house, I got a rock and roll car
I play the shit out the drums and I can play the guitar
I got a kid in New York, I got a kid in the Bay
I haven't drank or smoked nothin' in over twenty-two days
Don't want to be an American Idiot
So get off my case, off of my case
Off of my case
[Verse 6]
Hey
[Verse 7]
Here they come, marchin' down the street
Like a desperation murmur of a heartbeat
Comin' back from the edge of town
Underneath their feet
The time has come and it's goin' nowhere
Nobody ever said that life was fair now
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
In the summer heat
[PreChorus]
The world is spinnin' 'round and 'round out of control again
From the 7-Eleven to the fear of breakin' down
So send my love a letterbomb
And visit me in Hell
We're the ones goin'
[Chorus]
Home, we're comin' home again
Home, we're comin' home again
[Bridge]
I started fuckin' runnin' as soon as my feet touched ground
We're back in the barrio, and to you and me, that's Jingletown
[Chorus]
That's home, we're comin' home again
Home, we're comin' home again
Home, we're comin' home again
Home, we're comin' home again
Home, we're comin' home again
Home, we're comin' home again
Home, we're comin' home again
Home, we're comin' home again
[Outro]
Nobody likes you, everyone left you
They're all out without you havin' fun
