Dookie

Green Day Dookie Lyrics
1.Burnout

I declare I don't care no more
I'm burning 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
(Chorus)
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 inside 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 my spine
Nothing's gonna change my mind
I won't listen to anyone's last words
There's nothing left for you to say
Soon you'll be dead anyway
(Chorus)
No one here is getting out alive
This time I've really 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 meant
To me it's nothing...

I'm losing all my happiness
The happiness you pinned on me
Lonliness 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

Do you ever think back to another time
Does 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 all the bullshit that confronts you
Do you ever bulid up all the small things in your head
To make one problem that adds up to nothing
To me it's 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 never even seen your face
(Chorus)
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 over my head
Hail comes crashing down
Welting my face
Magic man, egocentric plastic man
Yet you still got one over on me


4.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


5.Welcome To Paradise

Dear mother, can you hear whining
It's been three whole weeks
Since that I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I'm out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
(Chorus)
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums
Some call it 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 that I have left your home
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


6.Pulling Teeth

I'm all busted up
Broken bones and 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
(Chorus)
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
(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

Grasping to control
So you better hold on


8.She

She...
She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Wait...
Wait for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
(Chorus)
Are you locked 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...
She's figured out
All her doubts were someone else's point of view
We...
Walking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
Ehhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhh!


9.Sassafras Roots

Roaming round your house
Wasting your time
No obligation, just
Wasting your time
So why are you alone
Wasting your time
When you could be with me
Wasting your time
(Chorus)
Well, I'm a waste like you
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time too

Warding off regrets
Wasting your time
Smoking cigarettes
Wasting your time
I'm just a parasite
Wasting your time
Applying myself to
Wasting your time


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
Sleazing my backyard so don't get so uptight
You've been thinking about ditching me
(Chorus)
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 you sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt
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 of world of disillusion
(Chorus) I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and dad will never understand
What's happening to me

Secrets collecting dust but never forget
Skeletons come to life in my closet

Seventeen and coming clean for the first time
I've finally figured out myself for the first time


12.Emenus Sleepus

I saw my friend the other day
And I don't know
Exactly just how he became
It goes to show
(Chorus)
It wasn't that long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick
And I wanna go home

How have you been, how have you been
It's been so long
What have you done with all your time
And what went wrong

Anybody ever so 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
(Chorus)
I've 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 when you come around

How long will he last
Before he's a creep in the past
And you're all alone once again
Will pop up again
And be my special friend
Til 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
(Chorus)
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

You're just a fuck
I can't explain cause I think you suck
I'm taking pride
In telling you to fuck off and die
I've had this burning in my guts
Now for so long
My belly's aching now to say
I'm taking pleasure in the doubts
I've passed to you
So listen up as you bite this...
Good night....


15.Secret Song

I was alone
I was all by myself
No one was looking
I was thinking of you
Oh yeah, did I mention
I was all by myself
All by myself
All by myself
All by myself

I went to your house
But no one was there
I went to your room
I was all by myself
You and me had
Such wonderful times
When I'm all by myself
All by myself
All by myself
All by myself
