Dont cry, don't raise your eyes. it's only......

oops sorry :P

Here's another one:

"The world owes me, so fuck you"

Yeah I basically could've just quoted the whole song, it's awesome :wub:

You must be really happy that this thread is about Lyrics :P

Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?

And where will we all go when it's too late?

No one here is getting out alive,

This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care.

Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life.

All the songs have been erased.

Guess I've learned from my mistakes.

One light, one mind flashing in the dark,

Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts.

I must insist on being a pessimist,

I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind.

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives,

Tomorrow is too late to pretend everything's alright.

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.

I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser.

Sometimes I give myself the creeps,

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me.

It all keeps adding up,

I think I'm cracking up

Will she find her name in the California cement?

Hey, we have the same location :P:happy:

I'm not a lyric hater!

I just like to see the song as it is music+lyrics, giving no more importance to one or another ;)

For FBHT, I dunno if it's my favorite, but the one line that has been stuck in my head lately is:

"Oh come on baby take a chance and get your shit together." from "Sally"

and my current favorite lines from a Green Day song would have to be:

"You better swallow your pride, cause you might choke on it. You better digest your values, cause they turn to shit." from "No Pride"

And from my favorite line The Network, it would have to be:

"X-Ray Hamburger is you." from X-Ray Hamburger, cause it's funny haha.

woah! 3 more pages added in 12 hours! :lol:

again, this is more becomming my "random lyrics thread" than anything else, so here's the first one to pop up:

"You're not the jesus of suburbia"

now, normally i dont choose an american idiot song, but i remember i was in this period where i was moving up from being a teenie, and i was becomming my own person. that line was basically green day telling me "you're not this gothic-punk freak, and you know it. it's time for you to form your own ideas and define who you are. You'll always have us, but you're not the saint jimmy of citrus county."

yes, green day sometimes speaks to me. letterbomb and 86 are only 2 examples of such.

"You better swallow your pride, cause you might choke on it."

"You better swallow your pride, or you're gonna choke on it"

:woot: Yay more!!!

Well I'm a waste like you, with nothing else to do

May I waste your time too?

I hold my breath and close my eyes and dream about her

Sugar and spice and everything nice wasn't made for only girls

I'm in for nasty weather

But I'll take whatever you can give that comes my way

You pushed me once too far again

I'd love to break your fucking teeth

Like a production line going over and over and over rollercoaster

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice, I'm speechless and redundant

'Cause I love you's not enough, I'm lost for words

Do or die, no reply, don't deny that you're synthetic

You're pathetic

I'm just roaming for the moment, sleazing my backyard

I must insist on being a pessimist

My wallet's fat and so is my head

I always waste my time just wondering, what the next man thinks of me

I'll never do exactly what I want, and I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance

You're just, a fuck, I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck

I'm taking pride, in telling you to fuck off and die

Because I feel so right, let my imagination go

Until you're in my sights, and through my veins temptation flows

With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

I'm all busted up

Broken bones and nasty cuts

Better not start on the side bands :D

ALL SO GREAT! And for some reason made me think of this - okay I LOVE the whole song, and I tried to take this down to one line, but this whole verse just makes me feel SO good! And it's not just the lyrics, but the tune and the wistful tone at the beginning, and the kind of contented - kooky - self-satisfied tone at the end.

LOVE IT!

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 love that line too, that song is great!

That line never fails to make me laugh out loud ("My wallet's fat, and so is my head.")

*sigh* I love that song, I agree with your assessment. That verse really makes me picture the scene in my mind beautifully. Makes me feel mellow.

Feels like side project time to me

Ze Netverk

Gamble it away with computer chips (best line ever)

A third degree burn going straight to my head :lol:

I didn't call for a shitty conversation

I called because...I NEED A FIX!

Fabulous Foxies

Dirty mouth and a look of death

My tequila comin' from your breath

Your lips are like a cherry bomb with teeth

Losin control, break my sanity, wow!

Diggin trouble, with a shovel

(and)

Little pieces of sticks and a bucket of stones

Nothin to lose but this straightjacket on too tight

I'm aliiiiiiiiiiiive!!!

Made of flesh and blood

My soul's made of stone

Marie would you make a bid

On a broken invalid?

Won't do Pinhead Gunpowder seeing as the person who writes most of the lyrics isn't in Green Day

Well that explains it, you didn't have a brain lapse after all.

That definitely sounds like a good plan, Highway 1 = :woot::wub:

I haven't listened to it nearly as much as the other songs either actually, on account of it not being on the CD for some unacceptable reason :mad:

Juliet's trying to find out what she wants, but she don't know

Experience has got her down

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

I want to bring you up again now

I'm a WASTE like you

With nothing else to do

May I WASTE your time too?

Aw, I'm in the mood for all Billie's little love songs :D
