Lyrics

    Look at me now
    Got no religion
    Look at me now
    I'm so vacant
    Look at me now
    I was a virgin
    Look at me now
    Grew up to be a whore
    And I want it
    I believe it
    I'm a million different things
    And not one you know
    
    Hey and our mommies are lost now
    Hey, daddy's someone else
    Hey, we love the abuse
    Because it makes us feel like we are needed now
    But I know
    I wanna disappear
    
    I wanna die young
    And sell my soul
    Use up all your drugs
    And make me come
    Yesterday man,
    I was a nihilist and
    Now today I'm
    Just too fucking bored
    By the time I'm old enough
    I won't know anything at all
    
    Hey and our mommies are lost now
    Hey, daddy's someone else
    Hey, we love the abuse
    Because it makes us feel like we are needed now
    But I know
    I wanna disappear
