Nobody 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
Now collecting unemployment checks
Like a flunkie along for the ride
Where have all the riots gone
As the city's motto gets pulverised?
"What's in love is now in debt"
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse
The town bishop is an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist
Stand still when it's do or die,
You better run for your fucking life
It's not over till your underground
It's not hope before it's too late
This city's burnin'
"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 will we all go when it's too late?
And 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 your underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burnin
"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."

It is in the key of E, a common key signature for punk rock songs, but more relevantly it is one of only two songs (the other is "Whatsername") on the entire album not with a key signature of G, A-flat, A (which are each only a semitone apart), or F minor in any part of the song. This radically different key signature subconsciously makes the listener aware that this song marks a transition, both in the album's tone and the continually unfolding story of Jesus of Suburbia.
