Am
You are into the wild
E
Always a wild child
Bm
The pulse of their lives is too calm and mild
Am
No structured living
No plans to walk down the aisle
E
Parents wish for college
Bm B
Though you'd think they're in denial
Bm A E
They wouldn't vote you queen of the homecoming
B
Though you didn't really want to be
Bm Am
Organized sports and much counselling
E
Pushed you over, sent you packing
D
Crust punk queen
A
Left mom and dad when you were 17
F#m E A D
And tore up those jet black jeans
Am
Hopped on a train into a troubled scene
F#m E Bm C#m
With all the trust fund drug fiends
D
Who don't care about the
A C#m
Don't seem to care about the American dream
D Am
Who don't care about the American dream
A
From my own prison I hear my stomach grumble
E Bm
My father's footsteps are so far apart that I could stumble
A E
I see who walks upon the cracks of the concrete jungle
Bm
I wish I could just fall apart so you would help me crumble
A
They wouldn't vote you queen of the homecoming
E
Though you didn't really want to be
Bm A
Organized sports and much counselling
E
Pushed you over, sent you packing
D
Crust punk queen

Don't seem to care about the American dream
D Am A
Who don't care about the American dream
Bm B C#m
Mom and dad this little hell which hangs over my head
D Bm
And I know it's gonna show up once again
B C#m
Mom and dad I need a little more money to get by
D E
And I promise that this shit is gonna end
F#m A
And when the fog clears look in my eyes I'll be
D
Coming home once again
Bm
Crust punk queen
