Warning

Green Day Warning Lyrics
1.Warning

This is a public service announcement
This is only a test
Emergency evacuation protest
May impair your ability to operate machinery
Can't quite just what it means to me
Keep out of reach of children
Don't you talk to strangers
Get your philosophy from a bumper sticker
(Chorus)
Warning
Live without warning
Say warning
Live without warning
Without, alright

Mental homes and safety cell communities
Did you remember to pay the utility
Caution police sign
You'd better not cross
It's a cop or I the one that's really dangerous
Sanitation expiration date question everything
Or shut up and be a victim of authority

This is a public service announcement
This is only a test


2.Blood, Sex,and Booze

Waiting in a room
All dressed up and bound
And gagged to a chair
It's so unfair
I won't dare move, for the pain
She puts me through is what I need
So make it bleed
(Chorus)
I'm in distress, oh mistress
I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight
You know I will obey, so please
Don't make me beg
For blood, sex, and booze you give me

Some say I'm disturbed
But it's what I deserve
Another lesson to be learned
From a girl called kill
My head is in the gutter
Thank you sir
Strike up another mandolin of discipline
Throw me to the dogs
Let them eat my flesh
Down to the wood
It feels so good


3.Church On Sunday

Today is the first day
Of the rest of our lives
Tommorow is too late
To pretend everything's all right
I'm not getting any younger
As long as you don't get any older
I'm not gonna to state that yesterday never was
(Chorus)
Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Tears on your face
Leaving traces of my mistakes
If I promise to go to church on sunday
Will you go with me on friday night
If you live with me
I'll die for you and this compromise

I hereby solemnly swear
To tell the whole truth
And nothing but the truth is what
I'll ever hear from you
Trust is a dirty word that comes
From such a liar
But respect is something you will earn
If you have faith


4.Fashion Victim

He's a victim of his own time
In his vintage suit and tie
He's a casualty dressed to the teeth
In the latest genocide
The new seasons come and go
At the dog and pony show
Gonna sit and beg and fetch the names
And follow the dress codes
What's in a name, hey

She's a scented magazine
Looking sharp and living clean
Living well and dressed to kill
But she looks like hell to me
So when you're dancing through your wardrobe
Do the anorex, a go-go
Cloaked with style
For pedophiles as the credit card explodes
(Chorus)
You auctioned of your life
For the most expensive price
Going once
Going twice
Now it's gone

What's in a name, hey
What's in a name, hey
What's in a name


5.Castaway

I'm on a sentimental journey
Into sight and sound
Of no return and no looking back or down
A conscientious objector to the
War that's in my mind
Leaving in the lurch and
I'm taking back what's mine
(Chorus)
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition
Onto desolation road
Where I'm a
Castaway, going at it alone
Castaway, now I'm on my own
Castaway, going at it alone
Castaway, now I'm on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound
Castaway

I'm riding on the night train
And driving stolen cars
Testing my nerves out on the boulevard
Spontaneous combustion in the
Corners of my mind
Leaving in the lurch
And I'm taking back what's mine


6.Misery

Virginia was a lot lizard from FLA
She had a compound fracture in the trunk
It started when she ran away
Thumbs out on the interstate
She hitched a ride to misery
Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident
He fell into the city by the bay
He liquidated his estate
Now he sleeps upon the Haight
Panhandling misery
(Chorus)
And he's gonna get high
When he's low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns of yesterday
Of misery

Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel in Tinseltown
They found him in a cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat
In the name of misery
Gina hit the road to New York City
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
She stopped in Vegas to elope
With Virginia and the dope
And kissed the bride eternally

Hell hounds on your trail now once again, boy
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
Because it's not what you make, it's what you leave


7.Deadbeat Holiday

Wake up, the house is on fire
And the cat's caught in the dryer
Philosphy's a liar
When your home is your headstone
Icon is the last chance for hope
When there's no such thing as heroes
Your faith lies in a ditch
That you dug yourself in
(Chorus)
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down

Deadbeat holiday
Celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign
That's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat holiday
Get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign
That's hanging high
But at least you're not alone

Christmas lights in the middle of August
Grudges come back to haunt us
Your oldest allies are
Your long lost enemies
Grounded in a duplex to find
That you're living on a landmine
Vacation hotspots is
A cemetery drive


8.Hold On

As I stepped to the edge
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience beating
Like the pulse of a drum
That hammers on and on
Until I reach the break of day
As the sun beats down
On the halfway house
Has my conscience bleeding
The sound in my ear
The will to perservere
As I reach the break of day
(Chorus)
When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
You gotta hold on
Hold on to yourself

A cry of hope
A plea for peace
And my conscience beating
It's not what I want for
It's all that I need
To reach the break of day
So I run to the edge
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience bleeding
Here lies the truth
The lost treasures of my youth
As I hold on to the break of day


9.Jackass

To know you to hate you
So loving you must be like suicide
I don't mind if you don't mind
I'm not the one that's gonna die
I guess I just can't listen
To this one-sided conversation again
Cause I don't care if I don't care
No one ever said that life is fair
(Chorus)
Everybody loves a joke
But no one likes a fool
And you're always cracking the same old lines again
You're well rehearsed on every verse
And that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity

The center of attention
Got an honorable mention once again
Congratulations and salutation
You're a figment of your own imagination

To know is to bait you
And you fell victim to your own denial
I don't mind if you don't mind
You're wasting all your time


10.Waiting

I've been waiting a long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined for anything at all
Downtown lights will be shining
On me like a new diamond
Ring out under the midnight hour
No one can touch me now
And I can't turn my back
It's too late ready or not at all
(Chorus)
I'm such so much closer
Than I have ever known
Wake up
Better thank your lucky stars

Dawning of a new era
Calling, don't let it catch you falling
Ready or not at all
So close enough to taste it
Almost I can embrace this
Feeling on the tip of my tounge

Dumbstruck
Color me stupid
Good luck
You're gonna need it
Where I'm going
If I get there at all


11.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


12.Macy's Day Parade

Today's the macy's day parade
The night of the living dead is on its way
With the credit report for duty call
It's a lifetime guarantee
Stuffed in a coffin, 10% for free
Red light special at the masoleum

Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
What's the consolation prize
Caught in these side dreams of hope

When I was kid I thought
I wanted all the things that haven't want
Oh but I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
Tell the difference between thieves and crooks
Lesson learned between me and you

Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
Cause I'm thinking of a brand new hope
The one I've never known
And where it goes
And I'm thinking about the only road
The one I've never known
And where it goes

Because I'm thinking about
A brand new hope
The one I've never known
Cause now I know
It's all I ever wanted
