[Verse 1]
D#m G#m C# F#
My dad sold women's shoes and travelled nine months a year
D#m G#m Bm C#
When he left my mom in ’71 I didn't shed one tear
D#m G#m C# F#
He was a man who married a teenage girl when he was 39
D#m G#m Bm C#
F# man like that doesn't want a wife, he wants a concubine
[Refrain]
D#m B G# F#
He moved her to Boston, away from her friends and family
D#m B C#
He isolated her, so in turn, she isolated me
D#m B G# F#
She went to bars and house parties, and left her infant all alone
D#m G#m B C# Bm C#
She joked that it was all right, ’cause in my crib she left the receiver of the phone
[Verse 2]
D#m A#m
He was a shithead father, who created a vengeful wife
G# B
It's why I proudly say: When I was 14
F# C#m D#m
And saw X and the Subhumans at the Whiskey
D B D D# B D# C#
That was the night – it may sound trite, but punk rock saved my life
[Refrain]
D# B C# D#
At 35, when my father said he never wanted me
B F# A#
I remember that I didn't know him as well as his TV
D#m B C# A#m
Other weekends I spent in my granddad's Pontiac
D#m B F# A#
At least he was proud to introduce me to his friends at the race track
[Bridge]
G#m B
He let me bet two-buck trifectas, and his friends became my teachers
F# C# D#m B
I didn't know I was the only eight-year-old in the Santa Anita bleachers
Bm F# D# G# F# B F# G#m B A#
Because a child doesn't know what normal is
[Verse 3]
D#m G#m C#7 F# C#
In Beverly Hills, I grew up feeling like a tourist
D#m G#m Bm C#
'cause my friends' parents were millionaires, my mom was a manicurist
D#m G#m C# F#
She’d hang with the Factors and the Westside bourgeoisie
D#m G#m Bm C#
Since she’d go out five nights a week, she got me my own TV
[Refrain]
D#m B G#m F F#
I found her porn and sex toys and began to realize then
D#m B F#
After she cooked dinner, she'd go out to fuck older wealthy men
D#m B G#m F F#
I never had a babysitter, I had a latchkey
D#m B C#
It’s so embarrassing: But she never threw me one birthday party
[Outro]
Bm C#
So I spent my nights going to every punk show I could find
D#m C#
My new home was Hollywood, around Selma and Vine
G# B
The Cathay, the Olympic, and the Vex
F# D#m D
You see, punk rock was never just music to me, it was my life
B D D#m
My parents were just relatives, my family was always NOFX
