I Felt Like Smashing My Face in a Clear Glass Window
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All day long
I felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window
But instead
I went out
And smashed up a phone box 'round the corner
[Verse 2]
I never had a chance to choose my own parents
I'd never know 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
[Verse 3]
I never had a chance to choose my own name
I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine
Mommy's always talking 'bout family pride
And daddy's always hiding 'bout his week-end rides
[Verse 4]
All day long
I felt like
Smashing my neck in a clear glass window
But instead
I went out
And smashed up a station wagon 'round the block
[Verse 5]
I looked at the mirror and told myself
I'm glad I still don't look like them at least
Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror
Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war
[Verse 6]
I went to shake hands with the president in Miami
I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger
And you never believe it, surprise of my life
They had paint on their faces just like my mommy's
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Trying to talk to them is like
Eating TV dinner when you're angry
Trying to get their love is like
Watching ice cream ad when your hungry
They gave me a watch
That's guaranteed not to break
But my mommy and daddy broke up last fall
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
All day long
I felt like
Smashing my head in a clear glass window
But instead
I went out
And smashed up a church yard 'round the corner
