Lyrics

I. the death of st. jimmy
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only if you are coming home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
You taught me how to live

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

"What the hells your name
What's your pleasure what is your pain?
Do you dream too much?
Do you think what you need is a crutch?"

In the crowd of pain, st. jimmy comes without any shame
He says "we're fucked up
But we're not the same
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame"

Jimmy died today

He blew his brains out into the bay
In the state of mind its my own private suicide

Ii. east 12th street
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Well nobody cares
Well nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
Well nobody cares
Well nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?

Jesus filling 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 doing something else now
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly
His life's on the line with anxiety now
'Cuz she had enough
And he had plenty

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

So far away
I don't want to stay
Get me outta here right now
I just want to be free
Is there a possibility?
Get me outta here right now
This life-like dream ain't for me!

Iii. nobody likes you (written and sung by mike dirnt)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I fell asleep while watching spike tv
After 10 cups of coffee
And you're still not here
Dreamin of a song
But something went wrong
And you can't tell anyone
'Cuz no one's here

Left me here alone
And I should've stayed home
After 10 cups of coffee
I'm thinking
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)
(Go, go ,go)

Iv. rock and roll girlfriend (written and sung by tre cool)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Tre: geez.....*sigh*..
-----
I got a rock n roll band
I got a rock n roll life
I got a rock n roll girlfriend
And another ex-wife

I got a rock n roll house
I got a rock n 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 22 days,(dont wanna be an american idiot!)
So get off of my case
Off of my case
Off. of. my. case!

V. we're coming home again
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Here they come marching down the street, (ooh,ooh)
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat, (ooh,ooh)
Coming back from the edge of town
Underneath their feet

The time has come and it's going nowhere, (ooh,ooh)
Nobody ever said that life was fair now, (ooh,ooh)
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
In the summer heat

The world is spinning round and round
Out of control again
The 7-11 to the fear of breaking down
So send my love a letterbomb
And visit me in hell
We're the ones going

Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again

I started fuckin' running
As soon as my feet touched ground
We're back in the barrio
And to you and me, that's jingletown thats

Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again

Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you
Havin' fun
