Theme

  1. Homecoming

    [Part 1: The Death of St. Jimmy]

    ST. JIMMY:

    My heart is beating from me

    I am standing all alone

    Please call me only if you are coming home

    Waste another year flies by

    Waste a night or two

    You taught me how to live

    In the streets of shame

    Where you’ve lost your dreams in the rain

    There’s no signs of hope

    The stems and seeds of the last of the dope

    ST. JIMMY & JOHNNY:

    There’s a glow of light

    The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night

    Bearing gifts and trust

    The fixture in the city of lust

    ST. JIMMY:

    What the hell’s your name?

    What’s your pleasure and whats your pain?

    Do you dream to much?

    Do you think what you need is a crutch?

    ST. JIMMY & JOHNNY:

    In the crowd of pain. St. Jimmy comes without any shame

    He says “we’re fucked up”

    But we’re not the same

    And mom and dad are the ones you can blame

    ST. JIMMY:

    Jimmy died today

    He blew his brains out into the bay

    In the state of mind it’s my own private suicide

    [Part 2: East 12th St.]

    THEO & GERARD:

    Well nobody cares

    Well nobody cares

    Does anyone care if nobody cares?

    [x2]

    THEO:

    Jesus is filling out paperwork now

    THEO & GERARD:

    At the facility on East 12th St.

    THEO:

    He’s not listening to a word now

    THEO & GERARD:

    He’s in his own world

    And he’s daydreaming

    THEO:

    He’d rather be doing something else now,

    THEO & GERARD:

    Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly,

    THEO:

    His life’s on the line with anxiety now,

    THEO & GERARD:

    And she had enough,

    And he had plenty

    EVERYONE:

    Somebody get me out of here

    Anybody get me out of here

    Somebody get me out of here

    Get me the fuck right out of here

    JOHNNY:

    So far away

    I don’t want to stay

    Get me out of here right now

    I just wanna be free

    Is there a possibility?

    Get me out of here right now

    JOHNNY & WILL:

    This life like dream ain’t for me

    [Part 3: Nobody Likes You]

    WILL:

    I fell asleep while watching spike TV

    After 10 cups of coffee

    And you’re still not here

    Dreaming of a song

    But something went wrong

    But I can’t tell anyone

    ‘Cause no one’s here

    Left me here alone

    And I should have stayed home

    After 10 cups of coffee I’m thinking

    MEN:

    (Where’d you go?)

    WILL:

    Nobody likes you, everyone left you

    MEN:

    (Where’d you go?)

    WILL:

    WILL:

    MEN:

    WILL & MEN:

    [Part 4: Rock and Roll Girlfriend]

    MIGUEL:

    I got a rock and roll band

    I got a rock and roll life

    I got a rock and roll girlfriend

    WILL:

    Somebody get me a knife

    MIGUEL:

    I got a rock and roll car

    I play the shit out the drums

    HEATHER:

    And he can play the guitar

    I haven’t drank or smoked nothin’

    In over 22 days

    WILL & HEATHER (overlapping with Miguel):

    Don’t wanna be an American idiot! 

    MIGUEL:

    So get off my case

    Off of my case

    Off of my case!

    [Part 5: We’re Coming Home Again]

    JOHNNY:

    Here they come marching down the street

    Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat

    Coming back from the edge of town

    Underneath their feet

    JOHNNY & TUNNY:

    The time has come and it going nowhere

    Nobody ever said that life was fair now

    Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear

    In the summer heat

    WILL:

    The world is spinning 'round and 'round

    Out of control again

    From the 7-11 to the 

    JOHNNY & WILL:

    Fear of breaking down

    JOHNNY:

    So send my love a letterbomb

    And visit me in hell

    JOHNNY, TUNNY, & WILL:

    We’re the ones going

    Home

    We’re coming home again

    Home

    We’re coming home again

    JOHNNY:

    I started fuckin’ running

    As soon as my feet touched the ground

    TUNNY:

    We’re back in the Barrio

    But to you

    JOHNNY, WILL, & TUNNY:

    and me, that’s Jingletown

    That’s home
