Listed M.I.A. Lyrics

God damn, man, I almost had it
Stuck in the sewer beneath all the maggots
I ain't foolin', I've been pursuing
A way to get out of these dirty old ruins

I'm checkin' out, I'm never comin' back again
I'm checkin' out, I'm listed M.I.A.

God damn it, man, I almost had it
Threw me out the door and called me a faggot
I ain't done , I've only yet begun
West Oakland is the place where I'm comin' from

I'm checkin' out, I'm never comin' back again
I'm checkin' out, I'm listed M.I.A.

God damn it, man, I almost had it
Well I did it again, yeah
I do it outta habit
Well I'm numb, it ain't no fun
I'm less than zero when you add up the sum
I'm checkin' out, yeah
It ain't no doubt, yea
A courtship built from anger is what it amounts
I almost had it
I almost had it
I came so close man
I almost had it

I'm checkin' out, I'm never comin' back again
I'm checkin' out, I'm listed M.I.A.
I'm checkin' out, I'm never comin' back again
I'm checkin' out, I'm listed M.I.A.

Sounds like Tim probably went to some red neck conservative town and was treated like shit for the way he dressed and Tattoos:

"Stuck in the sewer beneath all the maggot" "Threw me out the door, callin me a faggot"

so hes leaving the shit town, talking about Oakland is where hes from and thats how they roll hes never going back to that place.

hes doesnt want to go back hes listed M.I.A MIA = MISSING IN ACTION

An error occured.

God damn it, man, I almost had it Well I did it again, yeah I do it outta habit Well I'm numb, it ain't no fun I'm less than zero when you add up the sum

Maybe it's about Lars/Tim trying to get out of Oakland so he could get clean. He probably kept going back because it's his hometown only to get stuck in the same rut of hanging out in the wrong place with the wrong people doing the wrong things.. He is saying Listed MIA because he wanted to disappear and just get the fuck outta there without any of it following him.

My Interpretation
