lyrics

I was born in San Francisco
My father was a scientist, he made discoveries
My mother was a housewife, we grew up in Queens.
I was kind of happy 'til I got older
When I was 17 I started having problems
My mother kicked me out of the house
And gave me ten dollars.

But you know, where would I go? I don't know.
Can't seem to escape anywhere I go.

Lived in a private school for 5 years
I don't remember much after that
Except I got older
And started roaming around the streets.
I'm not really much in love with life
I don't mean to make you feel sorry for me
But you know, where would I go? I don't know.

How would I like to be remembered?
I really don't care
Don't want to be remembered by anybody here
I've lead a hard life, I've done bad things too.
But people won't leave me alone out there
They just won't leave me alone
But you know, where would I go? I don't know.
