GREEN DAY

�


�

1: BURN OUT

�
I declare I don�t care no more.
I�m burning up and out and growing bored
in my smoked out boring room my hair is shagging in my eyes,
Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight,
to drive along these shit town lights.
I�m not growing up, I�m just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead
Apathy has rained on me...
Now I�m feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowning but I don�t mind
I�ve lived in this mental cave throw my emotions in the grave
Hell, who needs them anyway...

�

2: HAVING A BLAST

�
I�m taking all you down with me, explosives duct taped to my spine
Nothing�s gonna change my mind,
I won�t listen to anyone�s last words
There�s nothind left for you to say, soon you�ll be dead anyway
Well no one here, is getting out alive.
This time I�ve lost my mind and I don�t care.
So close your eyes and kiss yourself goodbye,
and think about the times you spent and what they�ve meant.
To me it�s nothing...I�m losing all my happiness,
the happiness you pinned on my loneliness still comforts me.
My anger dwells inside of me. I�m taking it all out on you
and all the shit you put me through...
So...Do you ever think back to another time?
Did it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?
Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction
and mow down any bullshit that confronts you?
Do you ever build up all the small things in your head
to make one problem that adds up to nothing?...

�

3: CHUMP

�
�
I don�t know you, but I think I hate you.
You�re the reason for my misery.
Strange how you�ve become my biggest enemy
And I�ve never even seen your face.
Maybe it�s just jealousy, mixing up with a violent mind
A circumstance that doesn�t make much sense or maybe I�m just dumb.
You�re the cloud hanging out over my head.
Hail comes crashing down welting my face
Magic man, egocentric plastic man,
yet you still got one over on me...

�

4: LONG VIEW

�
�
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 damn 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...
...I got no motivation, where is my motivation?
No time for...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 breaking...
...And loneliness has to suffice...
...Slipping away to paradise. Some say, "Quit or I�ll go blind"
But it�s just a myth...

�

5: WELCOME TO PARADISE

�
�
Dear mother, can you hear me whining?
It�s been three whole weeks since I left your home.
This sudden fear has left me trembling,
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I�m feeling so alone...
Pay attention to the cracked streets and broken homes
Some call it the slums...nice...
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise...
A gunshot rings out at the station,
another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I�m still here
For some strange reason it�s now feeling like my home...
And I�m never gonna go...
...Dear mother, can you hear me laughing?
It�s been six whole months since I have left your home...

�

6: PULLING TEETH

�
�
I�m all busted up, broken bones & nasty cuts...
Accidents will happen, but this time I can�t get up
She comes to check on me, making sure I�m on my knees
After all she�s the one who put me in this state...
Is she ultra-violent? Is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her
before she does it all over again.� Oh God, she�s killing me!!!
For now I�ll lie around. Hell, that�s all I can really do
She takes good care of me, just keep saying my love is true...
...Looking out my window for someone that�s passing by
No one knows I�m locked in here, all I do is cry...

�

7: 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?� I�m 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, he said my life�s a bore
So quit my whining cause it�s bringing her down...
...Grasping to control, so I better hold on...

�

8: SHE

�
�
She screams in silence , a sullen riot penetrating
through her mind, waiting for a sign to smash
the silence with the brick of self control...
Are you locked up in a world that�s been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed.� I�m taking heed just for you
She�s figured out all her doubts were someone else�s point of view
Waking up this time ...

�

9: SASSAFRAS ROOTS

�
�
Roaming �round your house, wasting your time...
No obligation, just...So why are you alone?...
...When you could be with me...
I�m a waste like you with nothing else to do
May I waste your time too?...
Warding off regrets...Smoking cigarettes...
I�m just a parasite...Applying myself to ...

�

10: 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...

�

11: 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...
...What�s happening to me...coming clean for the first time
I finally figured out myself...

�

12: EMENIUS SLEEPUS

�
�
I saw my friend the other day and I don�t know
Exactly just what he became...
It goes to show it wasn�t long ago
I was just like you and now I think I�m sick and I wanna go home.
How have I been?, how have you been?
It�s been so long, what have you done with all your time?
And what went wrong? I knew you back when, and you...
you knew me...Anybody ever say no?
Ever tell you that you weren�t right?
Where did all the little kid go? Did you lose it in a hateful fight?
And you know it�s true...

�

13: IN THE END

�
All brawn and no brains, and all those nice things
You finally got what you want, someone to look good with
and light your cigarette. Is this what you really want?
I figured out what you�re all about
And I don�t think I like what I see so...
I hope I won�t be there in the end if you come around.
How long will he last before he�s a creep in the past
And you�re alone once again? Will you pop up again
and be my "special friend" �till the end? And when will that be?...

�

14: F.O.D.

�
�
Something�s on my mind, it�s been for quite some time
This time I�m on to you so where�s the other face?
The face I heard before your head trip�s boring me...
Let�s nuke the bridge we torched 2,000 times before
This time we�ll blast it all to hell
I�ve had this burning in my guts now for so long...
My belly�s aching now to say...
Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid when it�s all said and done
it�s real and it�s been fun. But was it all real fun...
...I�ve felt this burning...You�re just a fuck,
I can�t explain it �cause I think you suck.
I�m taking pride in telling you to fuck off and die...
...to sing, I�m taking pleasure in the doubts that may still grow
So listen up cause you might miss it...
...I was alone, I was all by myself.
Now I was lucky, I was thinking of you
Oh yeah, did I mention I was all by myself...
...I went to your house, but no one was there.
I went to your room...We had such wonderful times
When I�m all by myself...
