I Felt Like Smashing My Head Through A Clear Glass Window

             Db5
All day long
             Bb5
I felt like
     Db5                    Bb5           Ab5
Smashing my head through a clear glass window
            Db5
But instead
           Bb5
I went out
        Db5                    Bb5         Ab5
And smashed up a phone booth around the corner

Db

Db                          Gb
I never had the chance to choose my own parents
Db                        Ab
I never knew why I should be stuck with mine
Db                    Bb
Mommy's always trying not to eat
Ab                                      Db
And Daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze

Db

Db                          F
I never had the chance to choose my own name
Gb                        Eb
I never knew why I should be stuck with mine
Db                            Bb
Mommy's always talking about family pride
Ab                             Db
And Daddy's always hiding from his weekend bride

             Db5
All day long
             Bb5
I felt like
     Db5                    Bb5           Ab5
Smashing my head through a clear glass window
            Db5
But instead
           Bb5
I went out
        Db5                    Bb5         Ab5
And smashed up a station wagon around the corner

Db

Db                      Gb
I looked in the mirror and told myself
Db                           Ab
"At least I don't look like them, at least"
Db                             Bb
Mommy's like a filmstar in a distorted mirror
Ab                                Db
Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war

Db                                F
I went to shake hands with the President in Miami
Gb                            Eb
I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger
Db             Ab              Bbm           Gb
You'll never believe it, the surprise of my life
Eb                                          Db
They had paint on their faces just like my Mommy

Db                                    Ab
Am I going crazy, or is it just you, Daddy?
Bbm                                   Gb
Am I going nuts, or is it just you, Mommy?
Db          Ab             Bbm      Gb
Am I plain gone, or is it just the world?
Eb                          Gb        Db
Daddy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy

Bbm                             Gb
Trying to talk to them is like eating chicken dinner when you're
 Ab
angry
Bbm                                 Gb
Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream melt when
        Ab
you're hungry
Bbm                            Ab
They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break
        Gb        Bbm        Ab       Db
But my Mommy and Daddy broke up last fall

Db                                    Ab
Am I going crazy, or is it just you, Daddy?
Bbm                                   Gb
Am I going nuts, or is it just you, Mommy?
Db         Ab              Bbm      Gb
Am I plain gone, or is it just the world?
Eb                          Gb        Db
Mommy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy

             Db5
All day long
             Bb5
I felt like
     Db5                    Bb5           Ab5
Smashing my head through a clear glass window
            Db5
But instead
           Bb5
I went out
        Db5               Bb5         Ab5
And smashed up a church around the corner
