Song Notes

This demo captures the full version of 'Lowlife', which was later shortened and transformed into the 'Dearly Beloved' suite on 'Jesus Of Suburbia' from American Idiot.

Lyrics

Dearly beloved, are you listening
I can't remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented or am I disturbed
The space that's in between insane and insecure

Will I find what's left behind
Is there anywhere left to go
Crash and burn
There's no return
When there's no place left to go
And the lowlife's screaming

I wanna be alright
I wanna be okay tonight
What's thе meaning to be satisfied
I just wanna bе alright

Oh, therapy can you please fill the void
Am I retarded or am I just filled with joy
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word and that's my best excuse

Will I find what's left behind
Is there anywhere left to go?
Crash and burn
There's no return
When there's no place left to go
And the lowlife's screaming

I wanna be alright
I wanna be okay tonight
What's the meaning to be satisfied
I just wanna be alright

Alright!
Alright!
Dearly beloved, are you listening
I can't remember a word that you were saying

I wanna be alright
I wanna be okay tonight
What's the meaning to be satisfied
I just wanna be alright
