I. THE DEATH OF ST. JIMMY
My heart is beating from me
I am standin' all alone
Please call me only if you are coming home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
You taught me how to live

In the streets of shame
When you've lost your dreams in the rain
There's no signs of hope
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope
There's a glow of light
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night
Bearing gifts and trust
The fixture in the city of lust

What the hell's your name?
What's your pleasure and what is your pain?
Do ya dream too much?
Do ya think whatcha need is a crutch?

In the crowd of pain
St. Jimmy comes without any shame
He says "we're fucked up" but we're not the same
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame

Jimmy died today
He blew his brains out into the bay
In the state of mind
It's my own private suicide

II. EAST 12TH STREET
Well nobody cares
Well nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
Well nobody cares
Well nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?

Jesus is filling out paperwork now
At the facility on east 12th street
He's not listening to a word now
He's in his own world
And he's daydreamin'

He'd rather be doing somethin' else now
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly
His life's on the line with anxiety now
She had enough
And he had plenty

Somebody get me out of here
Anybody get me out of here
Somebody get me out of here
Get me the fuck right out of here

So far away
I don't wanna stay 
Get me outta here right now
I just wanna be free
Is there a possibility?
Get me outta here right now
ow, ow, ow, ow (right!)
This life like dream ain't for me

III. NOBODY LIKES YOU
(sung by Mike Dirnt)
I fell asleep while watching Spike TV
After 10 cups of coffee
And you're still not here
Dreamin' of a song
But something went wrong
And you can't tell anyone
Cuz no one's here

Left me here alone
And I shoulda stayed home
After 10 cups of coffee of thinkin'
Where'd ya go?

Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
Where'd ya go?
They're all out without you
Havin' fun
Where'd ya go?
Everyone left you
Nobody likes you
Where'd ya go?
They're all out without you
Havin' fun
Where'd ya go?

IV. ROCK 'N' ROLL GIRLFRIEND
(sung by Tre Cool)
Jeeze
Us
I got a rock and roll band
I got a rock and roll life
I got a rock and roll girlfriend
And another ex-wife

I got a rock and roll house
I got a rock and roll car
I play the shit at the drums
And I can play the guitar

I got a kid in New York
I got a kid in the Bay
I haven't drank or smoked nothin'
In over 22 days
So get off of my case
Offa my case
Off of my case

V. WE'RE COMING HOME AGAIN
Here they come marchin' down the street
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat
Comin' back from the edge of town
Underneath their feet

The time has come and it's goin' nowhere
Nobody ever said that life was fair now
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
In the summer heat

The world is spinning round and round
Out of control again
The 7-11 to the fear of breaking down
So send my love a letterbomb
And visit me in hell
We're the ones goin'

Home.
We're coming home again
Home.
We're coming home again

I started fuckin' running
Just as soon as my feet touch ground
We're back in the barrio
And to you and me, that's jingletown

That's Home.
We're comin' home again
Home.
We're comin' home again
Home.
We're comin' home again
Home.
We're comin' home again
Home.
We're comin' home again
Home.
We're comin' home again
Home.
We're comin' home again
Home.
We're comin' home again

Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you
Havin' fun
