GREEN DAY - WARNING (2000)
This is a public service announcement, this is only a test
Emergency evacuation protest
May impair your ability to operate machinery
Can't quite tell 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
Warning, live without warning
I say warning, live without warning
Without alright
Beter homes and safety-sealed communities
Did you remember to pay the utility?
Caution, police line, you better not cross
It's a cop or am I the one thats really dangerous?
Sanitation expiration date question everything?
Or shut up and be a victim of authority
Warning, live without warning
I say warning, live without warning
I say warning, live without warning
I say warning, live without warning
Without alright
Beter homes and safety-sealed communities
Did you remember to pay the utility?
Caution, police line, you better not cross
It's a cop or am I the one thats really dangerous?
Sanitation expiration date question everything?
Or shut up and be a victim of authority
Warning, live without warning
I say warning, live without warning
I say warning, live without warning
I say warning, live without warning
This is a public service anouncement
This is only a test
Waiting in a room
All dressed up and bound and gagged up to a chair
It's so unfair
I won't dare to move
For the pain she puts me through
What I need
So make it bleed
I'm in distress
Oh mistress I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight well
You know I will obey
So please don't make me 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
Or discipline
Throw me to the dogs
Let them eat my flesh down
To the wood
It feels so good
I'm in distress
Oh mistress I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight well
You know I will obey
So please don't make me me beg
For blood sex and booze you give me
Say I'm disturbed
But it's what I deserve
Another lesson to be learned
From a girl called kill
I'm in distress
Oh mistress I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight well
You know I will obey
So please don't make me me beg
For blood sex and booze you give me
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives
Tomorrow is too late to pretend everything's alright now
I'm not getting any younger as long
As you don't get any older
I'm not gonna state that yesterday never was
Bloodshot
Deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascare bleed
Tears down your face
Leaving traces of my mistakes
When I say
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 solemny swear to tell the whole truth
And nothing but the truth is what I'll ever hear from you
"Thrust" is a dirty word that comes from such a liar
But "Respect" is something I will earn
If you have faith
Bloodshot
Deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascare bleed
Tears down your face
leaving traces of my mistakes
When I say
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
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
Let's go
Ohhhhhhhhh........
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
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
And this compromise
It's a compromise
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 your 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
When you're dancing through your wardrobe
Do the anorex a go-go
Cloaked with style
For pedophiles as the credit card explodes
You auctioned off your life
For the "most" expensive price
Going once, going twice
Now it's gone
You auctioned off your life
For the "most" expensive price
Going once, going twice
It's gone
What's in a name, hey?
What's in a name, hey?
What's in a name?
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 a lurch and I'm taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition into 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 driving on the night train and driving stolen cars
Testing my nerves out on the boulevard
Spontaneous combustion on the corners of my mind
Leaving in a lurch and I'm taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition into 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 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 a lurch and I'm taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition into 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
Castaway
Castaway
Castaway
Virginia was a "lot lizard" from F.L.A.
She had a compound fracture in the "trunck"
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
He's gonna get high, high, high
When he's low.low, low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams why oh why
I said "I don't know"
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery
Vinnie was a hustler out in Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel in "tinseltown"
They found him in a Cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat
In the name of misery
Ginna hit the road to New York City
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
She stopped in Vegas to alope
With Virginia and the dope
And kissed the bride eternally
And they're gonna get high, high, high
When they're low, low, low
The fire burns from better days
And she screamed why oh why
I said "I don't know"
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery
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
And we're gonna get high, high, high
When we're low, low, low
The fire burns from better days
And she screamed why oh why
I said "I don't know"
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery
Wake up.....the house is on fire
And the cat's caught in the dryer
Philosophy'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 the ditch that you dug yourself in
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down
Ohh.....deadbeat holiday
Celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Ohh.....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
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down
Ohh.....deadbeat holiday
Celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Ohh.....deadbeat holiday
Get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Holiday.....
Suicide.....
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay when all you
Want to do
Not to
Give up
Deadbeat holiday
Celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Ohh.....deadbeat holiday
Get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Ohh.....deadbeat holiday
Celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Holiday
As I stepped to the edge on 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
When the sun beats down on the halfway house
Has my conscience beating
The sound in my ear
The will to persevere
As I reach the break of day
When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on to
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 of the shadows 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
When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on to
Gotta hold on
Hold on to yourself
When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on to
Gotta hold on
Gotta hold on
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
To know you is to hate you
So loving you must be like suicide
Well I don't mind if you don't mind
I'm not the one that's going to die
I guess I just can't listen
To this one sided conversation again
Cause I don't care if I don't care
Well no one ever said that life is fair
Well 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 salutations
You're figment of your own imagination
Well 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
Hey
To know you is to bait you
And you fell victim to your own denial
Well I don't mind if you don't mind
You're wasting all your time
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 well
And I can't turn my back
It's too late, ready or not at all
Well I'm so much closer than
I have never known
Wake up
Dawning of a new era calling
Don't let it catch up you falling
Ready or not at all
Well so close enough to taste it
Almost I can embrace this
Feeling on the tip of my tongue
Well I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up
Better thank you're lucky stars
Well I'm so much closer than
I have never known
Wake up
Better thank you're lucky stars
I've been waiting a lifetime
For this moment to come
I'm destined
For anything at all
Dumbstruck colour me stupid
Good luck, you're gonna need it
Where I'm going if I get there at all
Wake up
Better thank you're lucky stars
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 dog
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung against the mold
Without a doubt singled out
The only way I know
Cause 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 the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marchin' out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light
One mind
Flashin' in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For cryin' out loud"
She screams unto me
A free for all
Fuck em' all
"You are your own sight"
Cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority
Hey
One light
One mind
Flashin' in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For cryin' out loud"
She screams unto me
A free for all
Fuck em 'all
"You are your own sight"
Cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority
The Minority.......
The Minority.......
The Minority.......
The Minority.......
Today's the Macy's Day Parade
Night of the living dead is on it's way
With a credit report for duty call
It's a lifetime guarantee
Stuffed in a coffin "10% more free"
Red light special at the mausoleum
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
What's the consolation price?
Economy sized dreams of hope
When I was a kid I thought
I wanted all the things that I haven't got
Oh but I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
Lesson learned it was me and you
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Cause I think 'bout a brand new hope
The one I've never known
Cause now I know it's all that I wanted
What's the consolation price?
Economy sized dreams of hope
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Cause I think 'bout a brand new hope
The one I've never known
And where it goes
And I'm thinking 'bout the only road
The one I've never known
And were it goes
And I'm thinking 'bout a brand new hope
The one I've never known
Cause now I know it's all that I wanted
