Riff 1 x2

Riff 1

Lyrics:

My heart is beating from me

I am standing all alone

Please call me only

If you are coming come (Intro)

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 (Verse 1)

There's no sign 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 (Verse 2)

Bearing gifts and trust

The fixture in the city of lust

What the hell's your name

Whats your pleasure what is your pain? (Chorus)

Do you dream to much?

Do you think what you need is a crutch

In the crowd of pain

St. Jimmy comes without any shame (Verse 3)

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 out his brains into the bay (Chorus)

In the state of mind

It's my own private suicide

E|-5---------5---3---5--|

Part 1:

Jesus filling out paperwork now

At the facility on east 12th street

He's not listenin to a word now

He's in his own world and he's daydreaming

He'd rather be doing something else now

Cigarrettes and coffee with the underbelly

His life's on the line with anxiety now

And she had enough and he had plenty

Lyrics:

Well nobody cares

Well nobody cares (Intro) x2

Does anyone care

If nobody cares?

Jesus filling out paperwork now

At the facility on East 12th Street

He's not listenin to a word now

He's in his own world and he's daydreaming

(Part 1)

He'd rather be doing something else now

Cigarrettes and coffee with the underbelly

His life's on the line with anxiety now

And she had enough and he had plenty

Somebody get me out of here

Anybody get me out of here (Part 2)

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 out of here right now

(Part 3)

I just wanna be free

Is there a responsibility

Get me out of here right now

Ahhh ohh

Ahhh ohh (Part 4)

Ahhh ohh

Ahhh ohh

This life like dream ain't for me (Outro)

III. Nobody Likes You

------------------------------------------------------------

Written and sung by Mike Dirnt.

Verse 1:

I fell asleep while watching Spike TV

After 10 cups of coffee

And your still not here

Verse 2:

Dreaming of a song

But something went wrong

And you can't tell anyone

'Cause 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?

Lyrics:

I got a rock and roll band

I got a rock and roll life (Verse 1)

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 (Verse 2)

I plat 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 (Verse 3)

I haven't drank or smoked nothin'

In over 22 days

So get off my case

Off of my case (Outro)

Off of my case

Verse 2

Lyrics:

Here they come marching down the street

Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat (Verse 1)

Coming back from the edge of town

Underneath their feet

The time has come and it going nowhere

Nobody ever said that life was fair now (Verse 2)

Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear

In the summer heat

The world is spinning

Around and around (Pre-Chorus)

Out of control again
