All day long, I felt like Smashing my face in a clear glass window But instead, I went out And smashed up a phone box 'round the corner I never had a chance to choose my own parents I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine Mommy's always trying not to eat And daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze I never had a chance to choose my own name I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine Mommy's always talkin' 'bout family pride And daddy's always hiding 'bout his weekend rides All day long, I felt like Smashing my face in a clear glass window But instead, I went out And smashed up a station wagon 'round the block I looked at the mirror and told myself I'm glad I still don't look like them, at least Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war I went to shake hands with the president in Miami I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger And you'd never believe it, surprise to my life They had paint on their faces, just like mommy's Am I going crazy, or is it just you, daddy? Am I going nuts, or is it just you, mommy? Am I plain gone, or is it the world? Daddy, i'd rather have you dead than crazy Trying to talk to them is like eating tv dinner when you're angry Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream ad when you're hungry They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break But my mommy and daddy broke up last fall Am I going crazy, or is it just you, daddy? Am I going nuts, or is it just you, mommy? Am I plain gone, or is it the world? Mommy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy All day long, I felt like Smashing my face in a clear glass window But instead, i went out And smashed up a churchyard 'round the corner
