Lyrics:  
 
No body likes you 
Everyone left you 
They're all out without you 
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 only along for the ride 
 
Where have all the riots gone? 
As the city's motto 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. 
Standin' still when it's do or die 
You better run for your fucking life 
 
It's not over 'till you're underground 
It's not over before it's too late 
This city's burning.  "It's not my burden" 
It's not over before it's too late 
 
There is nothing left to analyze 
 
Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself? 
And where we will all go when it's too late? 
 
Well 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 you're underground 
It's not over before it's too late 
This city's burning.  "It's not my burden" 
It's not over before it's too late 
 
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."
Full key step up
Half key step up
Half key step down
Full key step down
are you left-handed?
