Fm A#m D# G#
My dad sold women's shoes and travelled nine months a year
Fm A#m C#m D#
When he left my mom in ’71 I didn't shed one tear
Fm A#m D# G#
He was a man who married a teenage girl when he was 39
Fm A#m C#m D#
G# man like that doesn't want a wife, he wants a concubine
[Refrain]
Fm C# A# G#
He moved her to Boston, away from her friends and family
Fm C# D#
He isolated her, so in turn, she isolated me
Fm C# A# G#
She went to bars and house parties, and left her infant all alone
Fm A#m C# D# C#m D#
She joked that it was all right, ’cause in my crib she left the receiver of the phone

It's why I proudly say: When I was 14

And saw X and the Subhumans at the Whiskey

That was the night – it may sound trite, but punk rock saved my life

At 35, when my father said he never wanted me
C# G# C
I remember that I didn't know him as well as his TV

Other weekends I spent in my granddad's Pontiac

He let me bet two-buck trifectas, and his friends became my teachers

Because a child doesn't know what normal is

Fm A#m D#7 G# D#
In Beverly Hills, I grew up feeling like a tourist
Fm A#m C#m D#
'cause my friends' parents were millionaires, my mom was a manicurist
Fm A#m D# G#
She’d hang with the Factors and the Westside bourgeoisie
Fm A#m C#m D#
Since she’d go out five nights a week, she got me my own TV
[Refrain]
Fm C# A#m G G#
I found her porn and sex toys and began to realize then
Fm C# G#
After she cooked dinner, she'd go out to fuck older wealthy men
Fm C# A#m G G#
I never had a babysitter, I had a latchkey
Fm C# D#
It’s so embarrassing: But she never threw me one birthday party

So I spent my nights going to every punk show I could find
Fm D#
My new home was Hollywood, around Selma and Vine
A# C#
The Cathay, the Olympic, and the Vex
G# Fm E
You see, punk rock was never just music to me, it was my life
C# E Fm
My parents were just relatives, my family was always NOFX
