[Verse 1]
Dm Gm C F
My dad sold women's shoes and travelled nine months a year
Dm Gm A#m C
When he left my mom in ’71 I didn't shed one tear
Dm Gm C F
He was a man who married a teenage girl when he was 39
Dm Gm A#m C
F man like that doesn't want a wife, he wants a concubine
[Refrain]
Dm A# G F
He moved her to Boston, away from her friends and family
Dm A# C
He isolated her, so in turn, she isolated me
Dm A# G F
She went to bars and house parties, and left her infant all alone
Dm Gm A# C A#m C
She joked that it was all right, ’cause in my crib she left the receiver of the phone
[Verse 2]
Dm Am
He was a shithead father, who created a vengeful wife
G A#
It's why I proudly say: When I was 14
F Cm Dm
And saw X and the Subhumans at the Whiskey
C# A# C# D A# D C
That was the night – it may sound trite, but punk rock saved my life
[Refrain]
D A# C D
At 35, when my father said he never wanted me
A# F A
I remember that I didn't know him as well as his TV
Dm A# C Am
Other weekends I spent in my granddad's Pontiac
Dm A# F A
At least he was proud to introduce me to his friends at the race track
[Bridge]
Gm A#
He let me bet two-buck trifectas, and his friends became my teachers
F C Dm A#
I didn't know I was the only eight-year-old in the Santa Anita bleachers
A#m F D G F A# F Gm A# A
Because a child doesn't know what normal is
[Verse 3]
Dm Gm C7 F C
In Beverly Hills, I grew up feeling like a tourist
Dm Gm A#m C
'cause my friends' parents were millionaires, my mom was a manicurist
Dm Gm C F
She’d hang with the Factors and the Westside bourgeoisie
Dm Gm A#m C
Since she’d go out five nights a week, she got me my own TV
[Refrain]
Dm A# Gm E F
I found her porn and sex toys and began to realize then
Dm A# F
After she cooked dinner, she'd go out to fuck older wealthy men
Dm A# Gm E F
I never had a babysitter, I had a latchkey
Dm A# C
It’s so embarrassing: But she never threw me one birthday party
[Outro]
A#m C
So I spent my nights going to every punk show I could find
Dm C
My new home was Hollywood, around Selma and Vine
G A#
The Cathay, the Olympic, and the Vex
F Dm C#
You see, punk rock was never just music to me, it was my life
A# C# Dm
My parents were just relatives, my family was always NOFX
