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