Green Day Lyrics

American Idiot
Basket Case
Holiday
Jesus of Suburbia
Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Wake Me Up When September Ends
When I Come Around

American Idiot

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sounds of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones you're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along to the age of paranoia

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones you're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
Is calling out to Idiot America™.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones you're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Basket Case

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?
Am I just stoned?

I went to a shrink,
To analyze my dreams,
She says it's lack of sex thats bringing me down.
I went to a whore,
He said my life's a bore,
So quit my whining cause its 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?
Ah, Yuh, Yuh, Yuh!

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?
I'm not sure...

Holiday

Say, Hey! (pshaaah)

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

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery"
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 protester has crossed the line
To find
The money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen?
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men
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

The representative from California has the floor

Sieg heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment,
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your governments
Bang, Bang goes the broken glass, and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, sinning buyers
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

Jesus of Suburbia

[Part I - Jesus of Suburbia]

I'm the son of rage and love.
The Jesus of suburbia,
The bible of none of the above,
On a steady diet of...

Soda pop and Ritalin,
No one ever died for my sins in hell,
As far as I can tell,
At least the ones I got away with.

And there's nothing wrong with me,
This is how I'm supposed to be,
In a land of make believe,
That don't believe in me.

Get my television fix,
Sitting on my crucifix,
The living room on my private womb,
While the moms and Brads are away,
To fall in love and fall in debt,
To alcohol and cigarettes,
And mary jane,
To keep me insane,
Doing someone else's cocaine.

And there's nothing wrong with me,
This is how I'm supposed to be,
In a land of make believe,
That don't believe in me.


[Part II: City Of The Damned]

At the center of the Earth,
In the parking lot,
Of the 7-11 were I was taught,
The motto was just a lie,
It says home is where your heart is,
But what a shame,
Cause everyone's heart,
Doesn't beat the same,
It's beating out of time...

City of the dead,
At the end of another lost highway,
Signs misleading to nowhere,
City of the damned,
Lost children with dirty faces today,
No one really seems to care...

I read the graffiti,
In the bathroom stall,
Like the holy scriptures of the shopping mall,
And so it seemed to confess.
It didn't say much,
But it only confirmed that,
The center of the earth,
Is the end of the world,
And I could really care less...

City of the dead,
At the end of another lost highway,
Signs misleading to nowhere,
City of the damned,
Lost children with dirty faces today,
No-one really seems to caaaare...

HEY!

[Part III: I Don't Care]

I don't care if you don't,
I don't care if you don't,
I don't care if you don't care. (x4)

I don't careeeeeeeee...

Everyone is so full of shit,
Born and raised by hypocrites,
Hearts recycled but never saved,
From the cradle to the grave,
We are the kids of the war and peace,
From Anaheim to the Middle East,
We are the stories and disciples of,
The Jesus of Suburbia...

Land of make believe,
And it don't believe in me,
Land of make believe,
And it don't believe,
And I don't care!
I don't care! (x4)


[Part IV: Dearly Beloved.]

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
(Ooooo...)
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed?
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused,
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse.


[Part V: Tales Of Another Broken Home.]

To live... and not to breathe,
Is to die... in tragedy.
To run... to run away,
To find... what to believe.

And I... leave behind,
This hurricane of fucking lies.

I lost... my faith to this,
This town... that don't exist,
So I run... I run away,
To the light... of masochist.

And I leave behind,
This hurricane of fucking lies.
And I walked this line,
A million and one fucking times.
But not this time.

I don't feel any shame,
I won't apologize...
When there ain't nowhere you can go.

Running away from pain,
When you've been victimized...
Tales from another broken hoooome...

You're leaving...
You're leaving...
You're leaving...
Ah you're leaving home...

Time Of Your Life

F**k!

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

(music break)

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Wake Me Up When September Ends

Summer has come and passed.
The innocent can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.

Like my father's come to pass,
Seven years has gone so fast.
Wake me up when September ends.

Here comes the rain again,
Falling from the stars.
Drenched in my pain again,
Becoming who we are.

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost.
Wake me up when September ends.

Summer has come and passed.
The innocent can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.

Ring out the bells again.
Like we did when spring began.
Wake me up when September ends.

Here comes the rain again,
Falling from the stars.
Drenched in my pain again,
Becoming who we are.

As my memory rest,
But never forgets what I lost.
Wake me up when September ends.

Summer has come and passed.
The innocent can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.

Like my father's come to pass.
Twenty years has gone so fast.
Wake me up when September ends.[x3]

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
Well Don't get lonely now
And Dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
so it looks like 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 you're 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

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

When I come around (3 times)
