Jesus of Suburbia

[C]I'm the son of rage and love
[Am]The Jesus of suburbia
[F]From the Bible of none of the above
[G]On a steady diet of

[C]Soda pop and Ritalin
[Am]No one ever died for my
[F]Sins in hell, as far as I can tell
[G]At least the ones I've gotten away with

[F]And there's nothing wrong with [G]me
[F]This is how I'm supposed to [G]be
[F]In a land of make [G]believe

That don't believe in me

  [C]   [G]   [F]

[C]Get my television fix
[Am]Sitting on my crucifix
[F]The living room or my private womb
[G]While the moms and brads are away

[C]To fall in love and fall in debt
[Am]To alcohol and cigarettes
[F]And Mary Jane to keep me insane
[G]And doing someone else's cocaine

[F]And there's nothing wrong with [G]me
[F]This is how I'm supposed to [G]be
[F]In a land of make [G]believe

That don't believe in me

[C]At the center of the earth
[C/B]In the parking lot
[Am]Of the 7-11 were [G]I was taught
[F]The motto was just a [G]lie

[C]It says home is were your heart is
[C/B]But what a shame
[Am]Cause everyone's heart doesn't b[G]eat the same
[F]We're beating out of [G]time

[Am]City of [G]the dead
[C]At the end of [F]another lost highway
[Am]Sign mis[G]leading to [F]nowhere
[Am]City of [G]the damned
[C]Lost children with [F]dirty faces today
[Am]No one [G]really seems to [F]care

[C]I read the graffiti
[C/B]In the bathroom stall
[Am]Like the holy scriptures of a [G]shopping mall
[F]And so it seemed to [G]confess

[C]It didn't say much
[C/B]But it only confirmed that
[Am]The center of the earth is the [G]end of the world
[F]And I could really care [G]less

[Am]City of [G]the dead
[C]At the end of [F]another lost highway
[Am]Sign mis[G]leading to [F]nowhere
