AMERICAN IDIOT!


Dont want to be an american idiot
dont want a naition under the new mania
AND CAN YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF HESTERIA?
the subliminal mind fuck america


welcome to a new kind of tension
all across the alionation
wher evrything isnt ment to be o.k.
Television dreams of tomorow
we're not the ones meant to follow
for thats enough to argue


mabye im the faggot america
im not a part of a redneck agenda
now evrybody DO THE PROPAGANDA!
and sing along to the age of paranoia


dont want to be an american idiot
one nation controlled by the media
informaton age if hesteria
CALLING OUT TO IDIOT AMERICA!
*repeat 2nd verse*

Holiday"

Say, Hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

(Hey!)
(Say, Hey!)

"The representative from California has the floor"

Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday

St. Jimmy"

St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway
Up on the boulevard like a zip gun on parade
Light of a silhouette
He's insubordinate
Coming at you on the count of 1,2,1,2,3,4!

My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
Suicide commando that your momma talked about
King of the forty theives
And I'm here to represent
That needle in the vein of the establishment

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe
Raised in the city under a halo of lights
The product of war and fear that we've been victimized

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?

I'll give you something to cry about.

ST. JIMMY!

My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun
I'm the one that's from the way outside
I'm a teenage assassin executing some fun
In the cult of the life of crime.

I really hate to say it but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down old boy
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
And the resident leader at the lost and found

It's comedy and tragedy
It's St. Jimmy
And that's my nameeeeeee...and don't wear it out!

Green Day
» When I Come Around

I heard you crying loud,
all the way across town
You've been searching for that someone,
and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Don't get lonely now
Dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
you been thinking about ditching me

No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
to try and slag me down because I know I'm right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your selfdoubt means nothing
was ever there

You can't go forcing something if it's just
not right

No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
When I come around

Green Day
» Longview

Sit around and watch the tube,but nothing's on
Change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so darn bored I'm going BLIND!!!
And I smell like shit

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a DOG IN HEAT
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to MY OWN CELL
And I lost the key

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND!!!
And I smell like shit

I GOT NO MOTIVATION
WHERE IS MY MOTIVATION
NO TIME FOR THE MOTIVATION
SMOKING MY INSPIRATION

Sit around and watch the phone,but no one's calling
Call me pathetic,call me WHAT YOU WILL
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one SHE'S got
When masturbation's lost its fun
You're fucking lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn BORED
I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
I was slipping away to paradise
Some say,"Quit or I'll go BLIND."
But it's just a myth

Basket Case Lyrics
Do You Have The Time
To Listen To Me Whine
About Nothing And Everything
All At Once?
I Am One Of Those
Melodramatic Fools
Neurotic To The Bone
No Doubt About It

Sometimes I Give Myself The Creeps
Sometimes My Mind Plays Tricks On Me
It All Keeps Adding Up
I Think I'm Cracking Up
Am I Just Paranoid?
Or Am I Just Stoned?

I Went To A Shrink
To Analyze My Dreams
She Says It's Lack Of Sex
That's Bringing Me Down
I Went To A Whore
Who Said My Life's A Bore
So Quit My Whining 'Cause
It's Bringing Her Down

Sometimes I Give Myself The Creeps
Sometimes My Mind Plays Tricks On Me
It All Keeps Adding Up
I Think I'm Cracking Up
Am I Just Paranoid?
Uh,Yuh,Yuh,Ya...

Grasping To Control
So I Better Hold On

Sometimes I Give Myself The Creeps
Sometimes My Mind Plays Tricks On Me
It All Keeps Adding Up
I Think I'm Cracking Up
Am I Just Paranoid?
Or Am I Just Stoned

Hitchin' A Ride Lyrics
Hey Mister, Where You Headed?
Are You In A Hurry?
I Need A Lift To Happy Hour.
Say Oh No.
Do You Brake For Distilled Spirits?
I Need A Break As Well.
The Well That Inebriates The Guilt.
1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Cold Turkey's Getting Stale, Tonight I'm Eating Crow.
Fermented Salmonella Poison Oak No
There's A Drought At The Fountain Of Youth, And Now I'm Dehydrating.

My Tongue Is Swelling Up, As Say 1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Troubled Times, You Know I Can Not Lie.
I'm Off The Wagon And I'm Hitchin' A Ride.
There's A Drought At The Fountain Of Youth, And Now I'm Dehydrating.

My Tongue Is Swelling Up, I Say Shit

Coming Clean


Seventeen and strung out on confusion
Trapped inside a roll of disillusion
I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand

Secrets collecting dust but never forget
SKELETONS come to LIFE in my closet

I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME

Seventeen and COMING CLEAN for the first time
I finally figured out myself for the first time
I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ME

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knowledge Lyrics
I Know That Things Are Getting Tougher
When You Can't Get The Top Off From
The Bottom Of The Barrel,
Wide Open Road Of My Future Now...
It's Looking Fucking Narrow.

All I Know Is That I Don't Know Nothing.
We Get Told To Decide.
Just Like As If I'm Not Going To Change My Mind.

All I Know Is That I Don't Know Nothing.
Whatcha Gonna Do With Yourself,
Boy Better Make Up Your Mind...

Whatcha Gonna Do With Yourself Boy,
You're Running Out Of Time.

This Time I Got It All Figured Out:
All I Know Is That I Don't Know Nothing...
And That's Fine.
