City of the Damned Lyrics > American Idiot

TUNNY:
At the center of the earth
in the parking lot
Of the 7-11 where I was taught
The motto was just a lie
It says: "Home is Where Your Heart Is"
But what a shame
'Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same.
We're beating out of time

TUNNY, JOHNNY, AND WILL:
City of the dead

TUNNY:
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere

TUNNY, JOHNNY, AND WILL:
City of the damned

TUNNY:
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care
I read the graffiti in the athroom stall

JOHNNY:
Like the holy scriptures in a shopping mall

TUNNY:
And so it seemed to confess

WILL:
It didn't say much, but it only confirmed

TUNNY:
That the center of the earth
Is the end of the world

TUNNY, JOHNNY, AND WILL
And I could really care less
City of the dead

TUNNY:
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere

TUNNY, JOHNNY, AND WILL:
City of the damned.

TUNNY:
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care
