Lyrics: (not sure about these)
 
No body likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you
Having fun
 
Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly's accidental high
The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
The flunky only along for the ride
 
Where have all the riots gone?
Acid City's model gets pulverized
What's in love is now in debt
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse
 
The television's an obstructionist
And you don't even know that you exist.
Standin' still with suit and tie
You better run for your fucking life
 
It's not over 'till you're underground
It's not hope before it's too late
This city's burning.  It's not my burden
It's not long before it's too late
 
There is nothing left to analyze
 
Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
And where we will all go when it's too late
 
Well don't look back
 
You're not the Jesus of Suburbia
The St. Jimmy's opinion of
Your father's praise and your mother's love
That's made the idiot America
 
It's not over till you're underground
It's not hope before it's too late
This city's burning.  It's not my burden
It's not long before it's too late
 
She said I can't take this place
I'm leaving it behind
 
Well she said I can't take this town
I'm leaving you tonight

Those lyrics are wrong, here are the correct ones: No body likes you Everyone left you They're all out without you Having fun Where have all the bastards gone? The underbelly stacks up ten high The dummy failed the crash test Collecting unemployment checks The flunky only along for the ride Where have all the riots gone? As the city's moto gets pulverized What's in love is now in debt On your birth certificate So strike the ***ing match to light this fuse The town bishop is an extortionist And he don't even know that you exist Standing still when it's do or die You better run for your ***ing life It's not over 'till you're underground It's not over before it's too late This city's burning. It's not my burden It's not over before it's too late There is nothing left to analyze Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself? And where we will all go when it's too late Well don't look back You're not the Jesus of Suburbia The St. Jimmy is a figment of Your father's rage and your mother's love Made me the idiot America It's not over till you're underground It's not over before it's too late This city's burning. It's not my burden It's not over before it's too late She said I can't take this place I'm leaving it behind Well she said I can't take this town I'm leaving you tonight
