jesus of suburbia (live at irving plaza, new york, ny, 9/21/04) - green day lyrics

[intro: billie joe armstrong]
anyways, uh, this next song is called “jesus of suburbia”
ready?

[part i: jesus of suburbia]

[verse 1: billie joe armstrong]
i’m the son of rage and love
the jesus of suburbia
the bible of “none of the above”
on a steady diet of
soda pop and ritalin
no one ever died for my
sins in h*ll as far as i can tell
‘least the ones i got away with

[chorus: billie joe armstrong]
and there’s nothin’ wrong with me
this is how i’m supposed to be
in a land of make*believe
that don’t believe in me

[verse 2: billie joe armstrong]
get my television fix
sitting on my crucifix
a living room on my private womb
whilе the moms and brads are away
to fall in love and fall in dеbt
to alcohol and cigarettes
and mary jane to keep me insane
doin’ someone else’s cocaine
[chorus: billie joe armstrong]
and there’s nothin’ wrong with me
this is how i’m supposed to be
in a land of make*believe
that don’t believe in me

[drum solo]

[interlude: billie joe armstrong]
tré cool

[part ii: city of the d*mned]

[verse 1: billie joe armstrong]
at the center of the earth in the parking lot
of the 7*eleven where 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

[chorus: billie joe armstrong & mike dirnt]
city of the dead (hey, hey)
at the end of another lost highway (hey, hey)
signs misleading to nowhere
city of the d*mned (hey, hey)
lost children with dirty faces today (hey, hey)
no one really seems to care
[verse 2: billie joe armstrong]
i read the graffiti in the bathroom stall
like the holy scriptures in 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

[part iii: i don’t care]

[intro: billie joe armstrong]
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
[verse 1: billie joe armstrong]
everyone’s so full of sh*t
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

[chorus: billie joe armstrong]
land of make*believe
and it don’t believe in me
land of make*believe
and i don’t believe

[outro: billie joe armstrong]
and i don’t care (hoo, hoo, hoo)
i don’t care (hoo, hoo, hoo)
i don’t care (hoo, hoo, hoo)
i don’t care (hoo, hoo, hoo)
i don’t care

[part iv: dearly beloved]

[verse 1: billie joe armstrong]
dearly beloved, are you listening?
i can’t remember a word that you were sayin’
are we demented or am i disturbed?
the sp*ce that’s in between insane and insecure

[refrain: billie joe armstrong]
ooh, ooh*ooh*ooh
ooh, ooh*ooh

[verse 2: billie joe armstrong]
(ooh, ooh) oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
(ooh, ooh*ooh) am i r*t*rded or am i just unemployed?
(ooh, ooh) n0body’s perfect and i stand accused
(ooh, ooh*ooh) for lack of a better word and that’s my best excuse
ah

[refrain: billie joe armstrong]
ooh, ooh*ooh*ooh
ooh, ooh*ooh

[interlude: billie joe armstrong]
ladies and gentlemen, mike dirnt

[part v: tales of another broken home]

[verse 1: billie joe armstrong]
to live and not to breathe
is to die in tragedy
to run, to run away
to find what you believe

[chorus: billie joe armstrong]
and i leave behind
this hurricane of f*ckin’ lies

[verse 2: billie joe armstrong]
i lost my faith to this
this town that don’t exist
so i run, i run away
to the light of m*s*ch*sts

[chorus: billie joe armstrong]
and i leave behind
this hurricane of f*ckin’ lies
and i’ve walked this line
a million and one f*ckin’ times
but not this time

[guitar solo]

[bridge: billie joe armstrong]
i don’t feel any shame, i won’t apologize
when there ain’t nowhere you can go
runnin’ away from pain when you’ve been victimized
tales from another broken

[outro: billie joe armstrong]
home
you’re leavin’
you’re leavin’
you’re leavin’
ah, you’re leavin’ home
