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