"I declared I don't care no more "

[St. Banana]

-She smashed the radio with the board of education

-She smashed her knuckles into winter, gloriaaa, as autumns wind fades into black

-Brining on the fury,

The choir infantry,

Revolt against the honor to obey

Overthrow the effigy,

The vast majority,

Well burning ddown the foreman of control

Well now I want more

Cause Im getting bored

And im going to nowhere fast

I was once filled with doubt

Now its all figured out

Well nothing good can last.

[Modern Zero.]

Here's some of my MANY favorite Green Day lyrics:

"I throw away my past mistakes

And contemplate my future

that's when I say...

What the hey!?" -Going To Pasalacqua

"All my life I've seemed to have this need

I think at times it even turns to greed

We all want to join some family

We'll even sacrifice a moral changing." -Road To Acceptance

"It seems so frightening

Time passes by like lightning

Before you know you're struck down." -Android

"Call me irresponsible

Call me habitual

But when you think of me

Do you fill your head which schemes

Better think again

Cause no one knows" -No One Knows (I actually love all the lyrics to this song. I'm pretty much convienced that this is one of the best GD songs ever. )

"I'm feeling phyced

walking?wonder why

All my joys are open

No more crimes" -Strangeland

"Scream at me until my ears bleed

I'm taking heed just for you." -She

"I'm all busted up

Broken bones & nasty cuts

Accidents will happen

But this time I can't get up" -Pulling Teeth

"My temper snaps and I get myself all wound up

Spontaneous combustion

Panic attack

I slipped a gear I get myself all wound up " -Bab's Uvula Who?

"What brings you around?

Did you lose something the last time you were here?

You'll never find it now

It's buried deep with your identity." -86

"Self-effaced, what's his face.

You erased yourself so shut up.

You don't let up." -Prosthetic Head

"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 you wardrobe

do the anorex - a go - go

cloaked with style

for pedophiles as the credit card explodes." -Fashion Victim

"Gotta make a plan

Gotta do whats right

Can't run around in circles if you wanna build a life

And I don't wanna make a plan for a day far away

While I'm young and while I'm able all I wanna do is..." -J.A.R.

"The dummy failed the crash test

Collecting unemployment checks

Like a flunkie along for a ride

Where have all the riots gone

As your city's model gets pulverized?" -Letterbomb

"Everyone Is So Full Of Shit!

Born and raised by hypocrites,

Hearts recycled but never saved,

From the cradle to the grave." -Jesus of Suburbia

"Seems that she disappeared without a trace

Did she ever marry old what's his face?

I made a point to burn all of the photographs

She went away and then I took a different path

I remember the face

But I cant recall the name

Now I wonder how whatsername has been" -Whatsername

"I've been to the edge

And I've thrown the bouquet

Of flowers left over the grave

I sat in the waiting room

Wasting my time

And waiting for judgement day." -21st Century Breakdown

"Like refugees

We're lost like refugees

Like refugees

We're lost like refugees

The brutality of reality

Is the freedom that keeps me from" -Before The Lobotomy

"This diabolic state is gracing my existence

Like a catasrophic baby

Maybe you're the chemical reaction

I am the atom bomb

I am the chosen one

Toxin your reservoir

And then return man to ape" -Christian's Inferno

"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" -Restless Heart Syndrome

"All I want to know

Is a God-damned thing

Not what's in the medicine

All I want to do is

I want to breathe

Batteries are not included

What's the latest way that a man can die

Screaming hallelujah?

Singing out "The dawn's early light"

The silence of the rotten, forgotten

Screaming at you." -The Static Age

"Billboard on the rise in the dawn's landscape

Working your insanity

Tragic a'la madness and concrete

Coca Cola execution

Conscience on a cross and

You're hearts in a vice

Squeezing out your state of mind" -The Static Age

"True sounds of maniacal laughter

And the deaf-mute is misleading the choir

The punch line is a natural disaster

And it's sung by the unemployed" -American Eulogy: Mass Hysteria

"With money to burn

On a minimum wage

'Cause I don't give a shit

About the modern age." -American Eulogy: Modern World

"Then I drank the water

From a hurricane

And I set a fire

Just to see the flame." -See The Light

Ugh...It's really hard to pick favorites, especially on 21st Century Breakdown just because all of the lyrics are so amazing.

I've pretty much convienced myself that Billie Joe is probably the best songwriter that I've ever seen. He's my number one inspiration to songwriting.

[vsaxx(L)]

not sure if this one's been posted but i really love this one from walking contradiction

"Control the chaos behind a gun"

it just reminds me of the crazy world we live in today

[-Billiejoezee-]

"im elated,medicated,i am my own worst enemy.."

i have more but i love that one.

or..

"im elated,medicated,lord knows i've tried to find a way,to run away.."

[Modern Zero.]

not sure if this one's been posted but i really love this one from walking contradiction

"Control the chaos behind a gun"

it just reminds me of the crazy world we live in today

Ohh, yeah, definately!

That's one of my favorite Green Day lyrics as well.

[JohnnyNapalm]

''im a nag with a gun''

and the funniest line is ''i dont have sex cause i cant get it up''

and of course. ''your just a fuck, i cant explain it cause i think you suck''

[GreenDayrocks!!!!]

i have many but ...

"its something unpredictable, but i the end its right, i hope you have the time of your life"

"better thank your lucky stars"

"am i retarded or am i just over joyed?"

"standing still when its do or die, you better run for your fucking life"

"cause i love yous not enough, im lost for words"

" well free for all, fuck em all"

"i was a young boy that had big plans, now im just a shitty old man"

"mom and dad dont look so hot these days, but my fitures looking good"

"sugar, spice and everything nice wasnt meant for only girls"

"haha your dead, the joke is over"

"wake up the house is on fire, and the cats gone in the drier"

"my beating heart belongs to you"

"im not fucking around, i think im coming out"

"mayday this is not a test, as the neighbourhood burns, america is falling, vigilantes warning you, calling christian and GLORIA!" < just the way he says Gloria <3

OMG! I love the way he says "Gloria" It's so awsome.

[emmaILGD!]

Pretty much the whole of American Eulogy is just pure amazingness.

[greendaytone]

"The Brutality of Reality" from Before The Lobotomy.

I'm feelin' that!

[persons]

"i'm a hater, a tratior in a pair of chuck tailors"

[klarushka]

"So don't you fuck me around

because I'll shoot you down

I'm gonna drink, fight and fuck

and pushing my luck

all the time now"

"Give me a kiss goodnight

and everything will be alright"

"Little girl, little girl

you dirty liar

you're just a junkie

preaching to the choir"

"Hey hey it's the static age

this is how the west was won

hey hey it's the static age millenium"

:wink:

[Penguin Puffball]

I'm adding some more:

"I'm the class of 13 in the era of descent"

"Well I'm a hater, a traitor, in a pair of Chuck Taylors right now"

"So when are all my troubles gonna end? I'm understanding now that we are only friends. To this day, I'm asking why I still think about you."

"Christmas lights in the middle of August, grudges come back to haunt us. Your oldest allies are your long-lost enemies."

"So, say your prayers and light a fire; we're gonna start a war."

"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." Story of my life.

"Would I last forever? You and I together, hand in hand, we'd run away. Far away."

"I hope that as time goes by, you will think the same about me."

"I love you's not enough; I'm lost for words."

I just REALLY have someone on my mind right now.

[Sarahnade.]

My favorite Pinhead Gunpowder lyric is from 'Beastly Bit.'

It's easy to be disappointed. You've got such expectations.

And things don't always go the way you planned.

You say you're sorry; you're so stressed out,

But I don't mind you being depressed now,

I'll try to understand, wa-chaaaaa!

And my favorite Network lyrics are probably from 'Right Hand-A Rama.'

I'm taking a ride to the liqour store,

I'm looking for a beer and a little bit more.

I'm gonna spend all the money she has,

On a new girl and a dirty old magazine.

50 cents cheaper than the real thing even though it may be a little bit disgusting,

It ain't got a bitch and it ain't got not drama,

It's called a new sensation called the right hand a-rama!

It's hard to pick my favorite lyrics, but that's the just of it.

[Penguin Puffball]

^That's my favorite verse from that song. (Right Hand-a-Rama) It's just so catchy haha

[.Militza.]

" Cuz "I love you" is not enough, I lost for words..."

[trejack101]

"Dickhead, fuckface, cock smoking, mother fucking,

Asshole, dirty twat, waste of semen, I hope you die HEY" - Platypus

Brings back so much nostalgia. Like the time when my girlfriend and I would lay on the grass and figure out what the shapes of clouds could be. I would say, 'that looks like a butterfly' and she would disagree. She then described a cumulus as my retarded brain for thinking that other cloud looked like a butterfly. That's when I killed her. She is now my platypus in the sky. Ahhhh. I miss the ho.

[iVivaLaGreenDay!]

"I'm a smartass but I'm playing dumb"

"There is no place like home when you got no place to go"

"Talk is cheap and lies are expensive my wallets fat and so is my head" hehe love that one

"And in the darkest nights, if my memory serves me right, I'll never turn back time, forgetting you but not the times."

"Do You ever build up all the small things in your head to make one problem that adds up to nothing.."

"You're just well fuck, i cant explain it cos i think you suck. I'm taking pride in telling you to fuck off and die, goooooooodniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightt"

"What's in love is now in debt"

"I'm on a roll, no self-control"

"I'm speechless and redundant cos I love you's not enough, I'm lost for words.."

"Well I'm not stoned I'm just fucked up, I got so high i can't stand up. I'm not cursed cos I've been blessed I'm not in love cos im a mess"

And many many many more

[Vanilla Shake]

Probably this:

"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 are your own sight."

Helps get me through the day and it has shaped me into the person that I am today; being my own sight and not giving a fuck what anyone else says or thinks about me.

[Maddy.]
