Where have all the bastards gone?

The underbelly stacks up ten high

Collecting unemployment checks

A flunkie only along for the ride
B5 A5 E5 B5

On your birth certificate

So strike the fucking match to light this fuse

Having fun
Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly stacks up ten high
The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
Like a flunkie along for a ride
Where have all the riots gone
As your city's model gets pulverized?
What's in love is now in debt
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse
The town bishop is an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist
Standing still when it's do or die
You better run for your fucking life
It's not over till your underground
It's not over before it's too late
It's cities burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late
There's nothing left to analyze
Where will all the martyrs go
When the virus cures itself?
And where will we all go when it's too late?
And don't look back
You're not the Jesus of Suburbia
The St. Jimmy is a figment of
Your father's rage and your mother's love
Made me the idiot America
It's not over till your underground
It's not over before it's too late
It's cities burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late
Well, she said I can't take this place
I'm leaving it behind
Well, she said I can't take this town
I'm leaving you tonight
