1.American Idiot
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't wanna nation under the new mania
Can you hear the sound 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 meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
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 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
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 meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
2.I.Jesus Of Suburbia
I'm the son of rage and love,
The Jesus of suburbia,
From 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 in my private womb,
While the Moms and brats 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
City Of The Damned
At the center of the earth
In the parking lot
Of the 7-11 where 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 care
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
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
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
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
I don't caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare
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 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 I don't believe,
And I don't care!
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
Oh therapy can you please fill the void？
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed？
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused,
For the lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse
Tales Of Another Broken Home
To live and not to breathe
Is to die in tragedy
To run, to run away
To find what you 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
The light of masochist
And I leave behind
This hurricane of fucking lies
And wrote this lie,
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
Home...
You're leaving
You're leaving
You're leaving
Ah you're leaving home
3.II.City Of The Damned

5.IV.Dearly Beloved
6.V.Tales Of Another Broken Home
7.3Holiday
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 the 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
'The representative from California has the floor'
Zieg Heil to the president gas man
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
8.Are We The Waiting
Starry nights city lights,
Coming down over me,
Skyscrapers and stargazers,
In my head
Are we we are, are we we are,
The waiting, unknown,
This dirty town was burning down in my dreams,
Lost and found city bound in my dreams
And screaming,
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting,
And screaming,
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Forget me nots and second thoughts,
Live in isolation,
Heads or tales and fairytales in my mind,
Are we we are, are we we are,
The waiting, unknown
The rage and love, the story of my life,
The Jesus of suburbia is a lie
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, and screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, unknown,
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, and screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, unknown,
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, unknown
9.St.Jimmy
St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway
Upon the blvd. like a zipgun on parade
Light of a silhouette
He's insubordinate
Comin' 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 mama talked about
King of the 40 thieves and I'm here to represent
The 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
Went to the city under a halo of lights
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 talkin to me？!
I'll give you somethin 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 now
A teenage assasin executing some fun
in the cult of the life of crime now
I'd really hate to say it but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down ol boy
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
I'm the resident leader of the lost and found
It's comedy!
And tragedy!
It's St. Jimmy!
And that's my name!!......
And don't wear it out!!!!!!!!
10.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
(Chorus)
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 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 it's 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
11.Hitchin' A Ride
Hey mister, where you headed
Are you in a hurry
I need a lift to happy hour
Say oh no
Do you break for distilled spirits
I need a break as well
The well that inebriates the guilt
One, two, one, two, three, four
Cold turkey's getting stale
Tonight I'm eating crow
Fermented salmonella
Poison oak no
There's a drought a the fountain of youth
Now I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say one, two, one, two, three, four
(Chorus)
Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitching a ride
There's a drought at the fountain of youth
Now I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say...........SHITE!!!
12.Brain Stew
I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but runnin' out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own...here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own...here we go
My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My sense is dulled
Passed the point of delirium
On my own...here we go
13.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
(Chorus)
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
And quit my whining cause
It's bringing her down(Chorus)
Grasping to control
So you better hold on(Chorus)
14.King For A Day ／ Shout
Started at the age of four
My mother went to the grocery store
Went sneaking through her bedroom door
To find something in a size four
(Chorus)
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
Wasn't meant for only girls
G.I. Joe in pantyhose
Is making room for the one only
King for a day
Princess by dawn
King for a day
In a leather thong
Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me
My daddy threw me in therapy
He thinks I'm not a real man
Who put the drag in the drag queen
Don't knock it until you've tried it
15.Wake Me Up When September Ends
Summer has come and past,
The innocent can never last,
Wake me up when September ends,
Like my fathers 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 past,
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 rests,
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and past,
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 endsSummer has come and past,
The innocent can never last,
Wake me up when September ends,
Like my fathers 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 past,
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 rests,
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and past,
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
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
16.Minority
I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority
I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dark
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd...A song that gets the mold
Without a doubt, singled out
The only way I know
(Chorus)
I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority
Stepped out of line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind...flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a 1,000 broken hearts
For crying out loud...she screams unto me
A free for all, fuck them all
You or you aside
The Minority
The Minority
The Minority
The Minority
17.Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...
18.Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
(FUCK)
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 is 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 is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
