Green Day

Brat

Mom and Dad don’t look so hot these days
They’re getting over the hill
Death is closing in and catching up
As far as I can tell
Got a plan of action and cold blood
And it smells of defiance
I’ll just wait for mom and dad to die
And get my inheritance

Well, now I want more
‘Cause I’m getting bored
And I’m going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
But it’s all figured out
Well, nothing good can last

Crow’s feet and rot are setting in
And time is running out
My parents’ income interest rate
Is gaining higher clout
I’m a snot-nosed slob
Without a job
And I know I damn well should
Mom and dad don’t look so hot these days
But my future’s looking good

Well, now I want more
‘Cause I’m getting bored
And I’m going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
But it’s all figured out
Well, nothing good can last

See the Light

I crossed the river
Fell into the sea
Where the non-believers go beyond belief
Then I scratched the surface
In the mouth of hell
Running out of service in the blood I fell

I’ve been wasted
Pills and alcohol
And I’ve been chasing
Down the pool halls
Then I drank the water from a hurricane
And I set a fire just to see the flame

Well I, I just want to see the light
And I, I don’t want to lose my sight
Well I, I just want to see the light
And I need to know what’s worth the fight

I crossed the desert
Reaching higher ground
Then I pound the pavement to take the liars down
But it’s gone forever, but never too late
Where the ever after is in the hands of fate

21 Guns

Do you know what’s worth fighting for
When it’s not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide
Did someone break your heart inside?
You’re in ruins

When you’re at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn’t pass
Nothing’s ever built to last
You’re in ruins

One, 21 Guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 Guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I…

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it’s time to live and let die
And you can’t get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You’re in ruins

Restless Heart Syndrome

wastedLeave a comment

I’ve got a really bad disease
It’s got me begging on my hands and knees
So, take me to emergency
‘Cause something seems to be missing
Somebody, take the pain away
It’s like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
So send me to the pharmacy so I can lose my memory

I’m elated, medicated
Lord knows I tried to find a way to run away

I think they found another cure
For broken hearts and feeling insecure
You’d be surprised what I endure
What makes you feel so self-assured

I need to find a place to hide
You never know what could be waiting outside
The accidents that you could find
It’s like some kind of suicide

So what ails you, is what impales you
I feel like I’ve been crucified to be satisfied

I’m a victim of my symptom
I am my own worst enemy
You’re a victim of your symptom
You are your own worst enemy
Know your enemy

I’m elated, medicated
I am my own worst enemy
So what ails you is what impales you
You are your own worst enemy
You’re a victim of the system
You are your own worst enemy
You’re a victim of the system
You are your own worst enemy

Burnout

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
And 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?

I’m not growing up, I’m just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead

I’m on a mission
I made my decision
To lead a path of self destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it’s rotting out my teeth

I’m on a roll
No self control
I’m blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don’t know what I want
That’s all that I’ve got
And I’m picking scabs off my face

Every hour my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure
filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thick white line

Minority

wastedLeave a comment

I want to be the minority
I don’t need your authority
Down with the moral majority
‘Cause I want to 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 want to be the minority
I don’t need your authority
Down with the moral majority
‘Cause I want to be the minority

Stepped out of the 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 thousand broken hearts
“For crying out loud” she screamed unto me
A free for all
Fuck ’em all
You’re on your own side

‘Cause I want to be the minority
I don’t need your authority
Down with the moral majority
‘Cause I want to be the minority

Nice Guys Finish Last

Nice guys finish last
You’re running out of gas
Your sympathy will get you left behind
Sometimes you’re at your best
When you feel the worst
You feel washed up like piss gone down the drain

Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I’m insane
I’m so fucking happy I could cry
Every joke can have its truth but now the joke’s on you
I never knew you’re such a funny guy

Hitchin’ a Ride

wastedLeave a comment

Hey mister, where you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour say oh no
Do you brake 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 at the fountain of youth
And I’m dehydrated
My tongue is swelling up
I say one, two
One, two, three, four

Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
I’m off the wagon and I’m hitchin’ a ride

Note: Quit playing all my MMO games two days ago and now it feels pretty much the same. Getting too old and fucked for that shit, yet I miss it every now and then. To make things worse, I got a research proposal and a fuckin’ thesis to work on and I have no fuckin’ clue what to do.
