Lyric book scans

"“One thing that was really cool was Billie made a lyric zine,” picks up Tré, in a rare moment of seriousness. “He put images in it, like a fanzine, but with his lyrics. "

This may be off topic, but is it possible that this lyric book is based on the ZINE that Billie created?

I’d love it if it was.  I’d forgotten that but about the lyric zine.  Why not use if you already have it, the style seems pretty in keeping with other stuff he’s done.

Dilemma being the only one that looks handwritten, coupled with the exclamation point at the last “I don’t want to be a dead man walking!” has me a bit emo.

I thought it might be useful to have the scans in a separate thread for discussion so here they are

@Fuzzwe had a thread for each song individually during RevRad. Would it be worth doing for Saviors?

Thanks for sharing! Do you have scans of the cover, back cover and the other “non-lyric” pages? 
Would like to print the whole thing for myself :)

Damn the CD booklet just has plain black and white printed lyrics with no artwork lol. These are awesome

CDs really are dead it seems. It's all digital (streaming) and vinyl these days. Feels weird having my huge Green Day CD collection, but as they say, the only constant in life is change. This is the first Green Day release where I only got vinyl, no CD. Well, technically foam too, although that was the first Green Day album ever where I didn't buy it in any physical format full stop lmao. 

EDIT: Wait, these designs aren't in the vinyl release either right? Mine still hasn't shipped yet, so I wouldn't know grrr :lol:

If this is a one-off separate thing for the listening parties, then that's so sad. The american idiot lyric booklet is my childhood. Idk it just adds so much to the listening experience.

Doesn't it suck? I also thought some of the lyric book art would be in the album booklet...nope. Not even a single picture. Boring.

True but it's cool they're offering the artwork booklet scans to download!

Just printed mine today. I think everyone should be happy that they offered a free download and it's not like they need the money
