My dad sold women's shoes and travelled nine months a year
Em Am Cm D
When he left my mom in ’71 I didn't shed one tear

Em Am Cm D
G man like that doesn't want a wife, he wants a concubine
[Refrain]
Em C A G
He moved her to Boston, away from her friends and family
Em C D
He isolated her, so in turn, she isolated me

She went to bars and house parties, and left her infant all alone
Em Am C D Cm D
She joked that it was all right, ’cause in my crib she left the receiver of the phone

And saw X and the Subhumans at the Whiskey

At 35, when my father said he never wanted me
C G B
I remember that I didn't know him as well as his TV
Em C D Bm
Other weekends I spent in my granddad's Pontiac

Because a child doesn't know what normal is
[Verse 3]
Em Am D7 G D
In Beverly Hills, I grew up feeling like a tourist
Em Am Cm D
'cause my friends' parents were millionaires, my mom was a manicurist

She’d hang with the Factors and the Westside bourgeoisie
Em Am Cm D
Since she’d go out five nights a week, she got me my own TV

Em C Am F# G
I found her porn and sex toys and began to realize then
Em C G
After she cooked dinner, she'd go out to fuck older wealthy men
Em C Am F# G
I never had a babysitter, I had a latchkey

It’s so embarrassing: But she never threw me one birthday party
[Outro]

So I spent my nights going to every punk show I could find

My new home was Hollywood, around Selma and Vine
A C
The Cathay, the Olympic, and the Vex

My parents were just relatives, my family was always NOFX
