Favourite Line from a Green Day Song

[stephhh nicole]

I've always been in love with "Forgetting you but not the time" from Whatsername.

that is one of my favourites

i just love that whole song, it deserves more recognition

[82]

I've always been in love with:

"Tripping on her heart of purple" from Red Tide

and basically the whole of that song.

umm

I like 'A victim of catch 22'

and "the brutality of realiy"

"To run away is to find what you believe"

[alaniluau]

You like that line ?

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I really like that line. The way Billie sings it, from the viewpoint of one of the "American idiots" for lack of a better term, really fits in well with the context of the song. It highlights exactly how insanely homophobic America is.

[newsflash777]

"There's fire in my veins, and it's pouring out like a flood."

[Elissa.]

"I declare I don't care no more" from Burnout I've always liked that one

There's also one from 21st Century Breakdown but I completely forgot which one...

[Princess Consuela]

"Eternal youth is a landscape of a lie" - Viva la Gloria

I love that line too. And those that follow it, 'The cracks of my skin can prove as the years will testify'.

Basically, the whole song is great.

[P3AC3MAK3R]

"i am a nation a worker of pride" - 21st CB

[P3AC3MAK3R]

and .. "dont test me .... Second Guess Mee ... You .. Will .. Dis-a-pear"

[gone2pasalacqua]

Hey this is Brandon but my friends call me Spike now

"one last stop for one track mind

just give me shelter, give me, give me something

make it stop, i'm getting off"

"i started fuckin running as soon as my feet touched ground

we're back in the barrio

thats to you, and me, thats jingletown, thats home"

[umbjisfhinefum]

this isn't definite FAVORITE...

but from 21st century breakdown my favorite is

"we are normal and self-controlled" - before the lobotomy

[Heather!]

"Am I alive or fantasy?"

[P3AC3MAK3R]

mine changes all the time ... as u can see ^^

Are we, we are. Are we, we are the waiting unknown ♥

[Laura!]

"The brutality of reality is the freedom that keeps me from dreaming..."

I just love that.

[ClassOfEleven]

"Im not stoned im just fucked up

I got so high i cant stand up

Well im not cursed coz ive blessed

Im not in love coz im a mess"

"Im a waste like you with nothing else to do may i waste your time too?"

"He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting

Someone help him up or hes gunna end up sitting"

Some of my favourite lines at the moment.

[Jinjonator]

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

There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy

He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting

Someone help him up or he is gonna end up quitting

-Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?

She, she's figured out all her doubts were someone else's point of view

-She

As for me, I am blind without a cause

And now I realize what I have lost

-Words I Might Have Ate

You're not the Jesus of Suburbia

The St. Jimmy is a figment of

Your father's rage and your mother's love

Made me the Idiot America!

-Letterbomb

Is there any cure for this disease someone called love?

Not as long as there are girls like you

-80

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

And in the darkest night

If my memory serves me right

I'll never turn back time

Forgetting you but not the time

-Whatsername

[beness]

I swallowed my pride

And I choked on my faith

I've given my heart and my soul

I've broken my fingers

And lied through my teeth

The pillar of damage control

21CB

[gone2pasalacqua]

i always love this part when it comes on in Homecoming

"in the crowd of pain, st. jimmy comes without any shame

he says we're fucked up but we're not the same

and mom and dad are the ones you can blame"

[Metanoia]

"The brutality of reality is the freedom that keeps me from dreaming..."

I just love that.

me too

[RobyRoom]

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

And in the darkest night

If my memory serves me right

I'll never turn back time

Forgetting you but not the time

-Whatsername

This two bits are

[alaniluau]

Right now I'm loving "It's another dreary night." That song is so perfect for me right now.

[Lyz Z]

At the moment I'm loving pretty much all of the lines from "Peacemaker", but my favourite from that song would have to be "Death to the lover that you were dreaming of". Also, from 21 Guns: "When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul."

[bjrules]

^ Yeah, I agree, "Death to the lover that you were dreaming of" is a great one.

Other lyrics that I like are:

"Well Look this direction, I know its no perfection its just me" - One for the Razorbacks

"Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?" - She

"I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser" - When I Come Around

"The world is a sick machine breeding a mass of shit" - Panic Song

"Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes, some call it slums some call it nice" -Welcome to Paradise

[Lyz Z]

Oh, just remembered another one:

And it seems so frightening

Time passes by like lightning

Before you know it you're struck down.

- Android

(Great song. )

[Jinjonator]

Oh, just remembered another one:

And it seems so frightening

Time passes by like lightning

Before you know it you're struck down.

- Android

(Great song. )

And even better than that:

Hey old man in woman shoes

I wonder if he knows I think he's crazy

When he was young did he have dreams

Of wearing woman shoes and being crazy

[Lyz Z]

And even better than that:

Hey old man in woman shoes

I wonder if he knows I think he's crazy

When he was young did he have dreams

Of wearing woman shoes and being crazy

Hahahah absolutely. I remember listening to Android for the first time and thinking but I love that song so much.
