I look at my life And I don’t know What it is I’m doing And all my dreams They seem Superfluous When reason and rhyme Are just signs of these times Then I’m losing But all my steps They been My own choosing I’m just a broken child Hailing from the suburbs A paranoid Son of a mother A virgin now Heading off to college Seeking wisdom and knowledge Seeking wisdom and knowledge Lord Lord I thought that this music Would save me But That didn’t happen I found myself Staring down A shotgun When life ain't worth livin’ You're sinning And don’t know the gospel You find yourself Right back in a hospital I’m just a broken child Hailing from the suburbs A paranoid Son of a mother A virgin now Heading off to college Seeking wisdom and knowledge Seeking wisdom and knowledge Lord Lord Many a times Lord I have cried I found myself down and out With nowhere to turn Their freedom are lies Them don’t realize Life’s but a roundabout You crash and you burn! I’m just a broken child Hailing from the suburbs A paranoid Son of a mother A virgin now Heading off to college Seeking wisdom and knowledge Seeking wisdom and knowledge Lord Lord
