I Felt Like Smashing My Face in a Clear Glass Window
Yoko Ono

All day long I felt like

Smashing my face in a clear glass window

But instead I went out

And smashed up a phone box round the corner

I never had a chance to choose my own parents

I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine

Mommy's always trying not to eat

And Daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze

I never had a chance to choose my own name

I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine

Mommy's always talkin' 'bout family pride

And Daddy's always hiding 'bout his week-end rides

All day long I felt like

Smashing my face in a clear glass window

But instead I went out

And smashed up a station wagon round the block

I looked at the mirror and told myself,

I'm glad I still don't look like them at least

Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror

Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war

I went to shake hands with the president in Miami

I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger

And you'd never believe it, surprise to my life

They had paint on their faces just like Mommy's

Am I going crazy or is it just you Daddy?

Am I going nuts or is it just you Mommy?

Am I plain gone or is it the world?

Daddy I'd rather have you dead than crazy

Trying to talk to them is like eating TV dinner when you're angry

Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream ad when you're hungry.

They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break

But my Mommy and Daddy broke up last fall

Am I going crazy or is it just you Daddy?

Am I going nuts or is it just you Mommy?

Am I plain gone or is it the world?

Mommy I'd rather have you dead than crazy

All day
