I Felt Like Smashing My Head Through A Clear Glass Window

All day long I felt like Smashing my head through a clear glass window But instead I went out And smashed up a phone booth around the corner I never had the chance to choose my own parents I never knew why I should be stuck with mine Mommy's always trying not to eat And Daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze I never had the chance to choose my own name I never knew why I should be stuck with mine Mommy's always talking about family pride And Daddy's always hiding from his weekend bride All day long I felt like Smashing my head through a clear glass window But instead I went out And smashed up a station wagon around the corner I looked in the mirror and told myself "At least I don't look like them, at least" Mommy's like a filmstar in a distorted mirror Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war I went to shake hands with the President in Miami I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger You'll never believe it, the surprise of my life They had paint on their faces just like my Mommy Am I going crazy, or is it just you, Daddy? Am I going nuts, or is it just you, Mommy? Am I plain gone, or is it just the world? Daddy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy Trying to talk to them is like eating chicken dinner when you're angry Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream melt when you're hungry They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break But my Mommy and Daddy broke up last fall Am I going crazy, or is it just you, Daddy? Am I going nuts, or is it just you, Mommy? Am I plain gone, or is it just the world? Mommy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy All day long I felt like Smashing my head through a clear glass window But instead I went out And smashed up a church around the corner
