GREEN DAY - JESUS OF SUBURBIA LYRICS

Jesus Of Suburbia Lyrics

[Part 1: Jesus of Suburbia]

I'm the son of rage and love
The Jesus of suburbia
From the bible of none of the above
On a steady diet of soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my sins in hell
As far as I can tell
At least the ones I got away with

But there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In the land of make believe
That don't believe in me

Get my television fix sitting on my crucifix
The living room in my private womb
While the mom's and Brad's are away
To fall in love and fall in debt
To alcohol and cigarettes and Mary Jane
To keep me insane and doing someone else's cocaine

And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe
That don't believe in me

[Part 2: City Of The Damned]

At the center of the Earth
In the parking lot
Of the 7-11 were I was taught
The motto was just a lie
It says home is where your heart is
But what a shame
Cause everyone's heart
Doesn't beat the same
It's beating out of time

City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care

I read the graffiti
In the bathroom stall
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess
It didn't say much
But it only confirmed that
The center of the earth
Is the end of the world
And I could really care less

City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care

[Part 3: I Don't Care]

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care

I don't care

Everyone is so full of shit
Born and raised by hypocrites
Hearts recycled but never saved
From the cradle to the grave
We are the kids of war and peace
From Anaheim to the Middle East
We are the stories and disciples
Of the Jesus of suburbia

Land of make believe
And it don't believe in me
Land of make believe
And I don't believe
And I don't care!
I don't care!
I don't care!
I don't care!
I don't care!

[Part 4: Dearly Beloved]

Dearly beloved are you listening?
I can't remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented or am I disturbed?
The space that's in between insane and insecure

Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse

[Part 5: Tales of Another Broken Home]

To live and not to breathe
Is to die in tragedy
To run, to run away
To find what you believe
And I leave behind
This hurricane of fucking lies
I lost my faith to this
This town that don't exist
So I run, I run away
To the light of masochist
And I leave behind
This hurricane of fucking lies
And I walked this line
A million and one fucking times
But not this time

I don't feel any shame
I won't apologize
When there ain't nowhere you can go
Running away from pain
When you've been victimized:
Tales from another broken home

You're leaving...
You're leaving...
You're leaving...
Ah you're leaving home...

I'm going to try to be nice because I think you could probably be pretty cool if I got to know you.

"1. It hardly takes much brain power to understand short-hand."
It depends on the shorthand. If you slip a 'u' or an 'r' in, it's not a big deal, but leaving out vowels completely is what really bugs me.

"2. No, you're not cool, as proved by your posts here. Who the hell is Hannah?"
Kay I'll just ignore that first part since you don't know me. Hannah's another poster, and I was kidding.

"3. Ah you're american, I assume from the Noo Juhzeeee meaning New Jersey? Explains a lot about your personality, such as you being a hypocritical perfectionist, egocentric and ignorant of all geography outside your hateful country."
--How am I a hypocrite?
--How am I ignorant?
We're not a hateful country. Please. You can't judge all of America by what you see on TV.

try playing this song in concert, its hard as hell, but fun too, lyrics are hard to nail

Sasuke_Anime	07/12/2006 04:54:17
This a good, if not long, song. I read everybodies profiles [that are on this page], and I thought they were pretty cool. No further comments. [For now].

"I used to have that on Malawi. Well guess what Madonna just did? She just adopted a baby from there.[ALLEGEDLY] See? Celebrities love me." GOOD FOR YOU!! Man, Madonna ,made a huge mistake. Why don't you put India next as Brangelina plans on adopting a kid from here?

"3. I always pick countries a lot of people don't know about. I think I had it as Namibia before the Brangelina baby was born there. They probably saw it, researched it, and decided to go there to have birth."

Just to prove that I'm actually telling the truth about that...

I used to have that on Malawi. Well guess what Madonna just did? She just adopted a baby from there.[ALLEGEDLY]

See? Celebrities love me.

"You realize that could have been all compiled into one post, right?" i know... but im replying to 3 different posts so i just break it up. "U2 blows. The only reason I'd buy that song is because of where the money goes. Or if U2 dropped out. Because they suck. Really bad." right back at you... u2 is not worth crap... they suck

emma_lee	03/10/2006 22:02:26
You realize that could have been all compiled into one post, right? U2 blows. The only reason I'd buy that song is because of where the money goes. Or if U2 dropped out. Because they suck. Really bad.

miss.brightside	03/10/2006 18:51:11
Then you don't have to buy it. Buy it! Buy it! lol

#1rockfan	03/10/2006 12:56:29
" Tell your friends to buy U2 & Green Day CD! Out November 6th! For more info visit:www.greendayauthority.com." and supposing we love green day and have phobias of u2?

#1rockfan	03/10/2006 12:53:52
" So do I, but how is this connnected with anyhting thats been said?" i'm basically saying that i've got better things 2 do than go over my grammar anywhere but school.

#1rockfan	03/10/2006 12:51:57
1. Thank you for corecting me on this important aspect of life. I shall always use whole and proper syntax for the rest of my life, especially while I'm on message boards. When I do, I shall remember my enlightener, emma_lee. r u happy now? 2. cursing isn't cool, and it never will be. if u wanna b more cool, stop it. it'll give sum people peace of mind. 3. i didn't actually have 2 know...

emma_lee	01/10/2006 04:16:26
I'm aware of that. I'm saying you don't need to. Fans would sooner go to the official website or GDA than here.

miss.brightside	30/09/2006 22:55:02
I already did it... on a lot of songs.

emma_lee	30/09/2006 19:21:20
You stop that right now. If people were really interested in Green Day, they'd go to fansites.

miss.brightside	29/09/2006 18:36:09

1. Because of people like you. I can hardly understand you. You're real lucky I'm not correcting you right now. Really.
2. Because you see, I can do it and still be cool, because I>everyone.[OMGZ EXCEPT FOR HANNAH<3]
3. I always pick countries a lot of people don't know about. I think I had it as Namibia before the Brangelina baby was born there. They probably saw it, researched it, and decided to go there to have birth. Because I did just that. Right now it's Grenada[sp?]. I actually have no idea where that is. I'll be changing it soon.

But if you must know, I live in Noo Juhzeeee.
