Green Day

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 mausoleum

Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guarantee to you
what's the consolation prize?
econmy sized dreams of hope

when I was kid I thought
I wanted all the things that I haven't got
oh, I learned the hardest way
Then, I realized what it took
To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
when all along it was me and you

Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Because I'm thinking about a brand new hope
the one I've never known
'cause now I know
it's all that I ever wanted

what's the consolation prize?
econmy sized dreams of hope
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guarantee
Because I'm thinking about 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 that I ever wanted

• Titre : Jackass
• Album : Warning
• Année : 2000

Paroles :

To know you is 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 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
No one ever said that life is fair

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 a figment of your own imagination

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

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

• Titre : Misery
• Album : Warning
• Année : 2000

Paroles :

Virginia was a "lot lizard" from F.L.A.
She had a compound fracture in the "trunk"
It started when she run 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
panhanding misery

He's gonna get high
when he's low
the fire burns from better days
and she screems why
I said I don't know
the catastrophic hymnes from 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 Virgina and the dope
and kissed the bride eternally

and they're gonna get high
when they're low
the fire burns from better days
and he screams 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
when I'm low
the fire burns from better days
And she screams why
I said I don't know
the catastrophic hymns from yesterday
of misery

• Titre : Fashion Victim
• Album : Warning
• Année : 2000

Paroles :

He's a victim of his own time
in his "vintage suit" and tie
he's 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 fallow 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 you1re 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

(Youth Crew)

you auctioned off 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?

• Titre : Hold On
• Album : Warning
• Année : 2000

Paroles :

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 the day
As the sun beats down
the halfway house
has my conscience beating
the sound in my ear
the will to perserve
as I reach the break of the day

When you lost all hope and excuses
and the cheapstakes & losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
you got to hold on 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 the Day
so I run to the edge
beyond 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 the day

When you lost all hope and excuses
and the cheapstakes & losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
you got to hold on yourself

When you lost all hope and excuses
and the cheapstakes & losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
you got to hold on yourself
