[Verse 1]


I was stupid e

nough to throw

 my life away 

on music, like

 it was that s

imple.
             
But if singing

              
 changed anyth

    
ing, they'd ma

ke it illegal.

 
           
I hate strange

              
rs, loud noise

             
s, and crowds.

           
 I'll play a s

            
how every nigh

t. 
             
And would you,

              
 and would you

              
 believe there

             
 are people wh

              
o come to me f

     
or advice? 
             
I'm driving fa

              
st as the car 

             
can go, becaus

             
e I'm going ho

                   
me.

[Verse 2]


I was desperat

e enough for t

he feeling of 

pushing back t

o jump into th

e streets. 
             
The cops have 

              
us all surroun

      
ded; hear them

 gnashing thei

r teeth. 
           
Ready now, bai

             
l down the all

           
ey when we hit

            
 the next ligh

t. 
             
And would you,

              
 and would you

              
 believe there

             
 are people wh

              
o ask me how t

  
o fight? 
             
I'm running fa

              
st as these le

             
gs can go, and

             
 I'm going hom

[Verse 3]

(Palm muted)

Five years ago

 I was broken 

enough to just

 shut the fuck

 up. 
             
I got sober by

              
 going to reha

           
b, and not arg

uing so much f

or once. 
           
Punk rockers a

             
sk me how I di

           
d it, hoping f

              
or an easier w

 
ay. 
             
And would you,

              
 and would you

              
 believe that 

              
they don't lik

             
e what I have 

   
to say? 
             
I pray as much

              
 as an atheist

             
 can, and then

       
 I walk home. 
             
I'm driving fa

              
st as the car 

             
can go, becaus

           
e I'm going ho

me.
