I Felt Like Smashing My Face In A Clear Glass Wind Lyrics

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

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

i never had a chance to choose my own name
i`d never know why i should be stuck with mine
mommy`s always talkin` `bout family pride
and daddy`s always hiding `bout his week-end rides

all day long i felt like
smashing my face in a clear glass window
but instead i went out
and smashed up a station wagon round the block

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

i went to shake hands with the president in miami
i went to a rock show to see mick jagger
and you`d never believe it, surprise to my life
they had paint on their faces just like mommy`s

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 the world?
daddy i`d rather have you dead than crazy

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 you`re hungry.
they gave me a watch that`s guaranteed not to break
but my mommy and daddy broke up last fall

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 the world?
mommy i`d rather have you dead than crazy

all day long i felt like
smashing my face in a clear glass window
but instead, i went out
and smashed up a church yard round the corner
