Favourite Line from a Green Day Song

[Punx89]

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies....HOLIDAY!!!!!

[Metanoia]

I want to be a minority !!!!! so true.........

[1039SmoothGreenDayFan]

i like any lyric from the grouch

'i was a young boy that had big plans'

'i don't have fun and i hate everything'

i love the song - the grouch

its the theme song for my life

[cherylr]

I can't pick one. Here are a few.

"If you live with me I'll die for you" - Church on Sunday

"Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?" - She

"In the space between insane and insecure" - Jesus of Suburbia

"I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies" - Holiday had lost track of Green Day, can remember hearing that on the radio for the first time, thought "my God, he just expressed my feelings" and went out and bought American Idiot

One more.

"And there's nothing wrong with me, this is how I'm supposed to be." - Jesus of Suburbia

[Helly 77]

i have to say that billie joe is the best song writer... i really never care about a lyrics of any song except green day's songs

let's start :

"When I was a kid I thought

I wanted all the things that I haven't got

Oh. but I learned the hardest way"

Macy's day parade

"When your ship is going down

I'll go out and paint the town"

Ha ha you're dead

"one light, one mind flashing in the dark

blinded by the silece of thousend broking heart"

Minority

i guess that's enough

[Jesus*Of*Suburbia]

To a Hymn called faith and misery - Holiday

It didn't say much but it only confirmed that the center of the earth is the end of the world, and I could really care less - Jesus Of Suburbia

My generation is zero, I never made it as a working class hero - 21st Century Breakdown

Praise Liberty, the freedom to obey - 21st Century Breakdown

Well, silence is the enemy so gimme gimme revolution - Know Your Enemy

Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes - Before The Lobotomy

A fire burns today

Of blasphemy and genocide

The sirens of decay

Will infiltrate the inside - East Jesus Nowhere

Better thank your lucky stars - Waiting

Bite my lip and close my eyes, take me away to paradise - Longview

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives - Church on Sunday

Castaway - goin' at it alone

Castaway - now I'm on my own

Castaway - goin' at it alone

Castaway - now I'm on my own

Lost and found, trouble bound

Castaway

Last chance to piss it all away

Nothing but hell to pay

When the lights are going down - Deadbeat Holiday

one light, one mind

flashing in the dark

blinded by silence of a thousand broken hearts - Minority

King for a day in a leather thong! - King for a day

[Ally]

at the moment i am loving "to this day i ask myself why, i still think about you", love it

[cris_spain]

"Dreaming, I am only dreaming

of another place and time

where my family's from

Singing, I can hear them singing

when the rain have washed away all the scattered dreams..."

It reminds me a lot the concert of yesterday.

I don't believe it, it's so hard to believe I wasn't dreaming.

[Sarahnade.]

I've been loving these from 'The Static Age' for quite a while.

All I want to know is a goddamn 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,"

Silence of the rotten, forgotten, oh,

Screaming at you.

But my all time favorite Green Day lyrics have to be from 'American Eulogy.' I love all of the lyrics, but these ones really, really blow me away.

There's a disturbance on the oceanside,

They tapped into the reserve.

The static response is so unclear now.

Mayday, this is not a test!

As the neighborhood burns.

America is falling,

Vigilantes warning ya - calling Christian and Glori-YOW!

[greenda383]

Don't Test Me

Second Guess Me

Protest Me

You Will Disappear

-EJN

[gone2pasalacqua]

give me something to do

take me to that place that i call home

take away the strains of being lonely

when its all said and done

its real and its been fun

but was it all real fun?

no one can touch me now

i cant turn my back

its too late--ready, or not at all

gotta make a plan gotta do whats right

cant run around in circles if you wanna build a life

but i dont wanna make a plan for a day far away

while im young and while im able all i wanna do is ...

well i'm not stoned, i'm just fucked up

i got so high i cant stand up

i'm not cursed, cuz i've been blessed

i'm not in love, cuz i'm a mess

a fuckload more, of course!!

[Katarina.]

A LOT.

At the moment I like these:

Dreaming, I was only dreaming..

Of another place and time where my family's from.

Pretty much the whole song actually. ;p

You are the moonlight of my life every night.

[persons]

"i'm off the wagon and i'm hitchin' a ride" - Hitchin' A Ride

[DistilledxSpirits]

I love the whole second verse of Christie Road.

See the hills from afar

Standing on my beat up car

The sun went down and the night fills the sky

Now I feel like me once again

As the train comes rolling in

Smoked my boredom gone

Slapped my brains up so high

I'm not sure whether it's the words themselves or just the way Billie sings them, but it gives me the chills.

[badwolf]

^ I love that verse too. <3

It seems so frightening, time passes by like lightening. Before you know it you're struck down.

I always waste my time on, my chemical emotions. It keeps my head spinning around. Waste away-ay-ayy.

I love Android.

Nice choices!

[Library Girl]

Nice choices!

:thanks:

[Ila Reto]

i've started listening to Kerplunk more again, seriously that album is....fucking brilliant.

"Look this direction, I know it's not perfection, it's just me..."

"I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home"

"See the hills from afar , Standing on my beat up car The sun went down and the night fills the sky" Christie Road has such wondeful imagery. that

song is amazing

"Think of my future now I just don't know and I don't seem to care"

"My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead future. It was a tragic case of my reality"

"Is there any cure for this disease, Someone called love? Not as long as there are girls like you"

"Or did he hide away from hopes , Behind a smile and smoking dope It's crazy"

"Is there something I should find To make plans for forever?"

"There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy

there's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy"

"As for me... I am blind without a cause, And now I reazlied what I have lost"

"Running from the light of day, or maybe lie and celebrate"

"I'm seeing faces...

Of mysterys of the earth

I am not one ...

To the aggersions of my birth

Or go to stance...

Of houllinations I can't find

A missing peice...

Of a thought thats in my mind" <--- fuckin awesome.

its like, even the simplest lyrics in these songs are perfection.

[Penguin Puffball]

Pretty much all of 'Only of You' and 'The One I Want' right now

'do you know where you're going to, do you like the things that life is showing you, where are you going to?'

'i'm the son of rage and love, the jesus of suburbia' 'and i leave behind this hurricane of fucking lies, and i walk this line a million and one fucking times, but not this time' 'running away from pain when you've been victimized, tales from another broken home'

~Jesus of Suburbia [probably the song that speaks to me the most...i hate being a suburbanite]

'you are the moonlight of my life, every night..sending all my love to you'

~Last Night on Earth

'you're walking with blisters and running with shears, so unholy, sister of grace'

"You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing was ever there. You can't go forcing something if it's just not right." - When I Come Around

[St. Banana]

Nearly the whole of One for the razorbacks makes me want to cry yet smile at the same time.

When Billie sings- "Well now shes realising love can be filled with pain and distrust' it really hits me.

and- "Well look my direction, I know its not perfection, Its just me' i love that line too.
