One of my friends thought it was "stuck down in a rut I kissed my chickens butt". Which saying it aloud I can kind of see that being heard :lol:.

Guys, I'm about to get Longview's lyrics tattooed because I sang it with them in Rio...

...But what are the right lyrics? :lol: 

I'm using Dookie's booklet as reference but it says "when masturbation's lost its fun you're fucking breaking" and all the lyrics websites say "you're fucking lonely" (that's what I sang on stage too and that's what I always thought Billie sang - altho he doesn't actually sing this last word most of the times I guess?)

Sounds more like 'lonely' than 'breaking', but this is one of the debates that goes round in circles every few months on here and there's never any definite consensus...

Alright... def doesn't sound like 'breaking'. I'm gonna go with 'lonely' because that's what I sang and that's what the tattoo's all about :) Thanks guys!

I always assumed it was "broken", it doesn't sound like "breaking" but I don't think it's "lonely" either.

I think 'lonely' makes the most sense. He's basically saying that you masturbate because you're lonely, so if you've masturbated so much that it's no longer fun, then you must be really lonely

I legit just realized I've been singing Letterbomb wrong all these years :lol: I sing "the television's an extortionist" and I've literally just found out the real lyrics are "the town bishop's an extortionist" :ninja:  I never questioned it, I just thought it was a clever way of connecting to American Idiot (the song). lmao

And all this time I thought the last line to Longview was "But it's just not me".

A few days ago I was watching a live version of Still Breathing, and I heard "I dodged a mullet and I walked across a landmine.":lol:

Until recently, I’d always heard this part of Letterbomb:

 

“The town bishop is an extortionist. 

And he don’t even know that you exist.”

as:

“The televisions are extortionate. 

And you don’t even know that you’re in debt.”

 

I’m glad to see that others have experienced similar hearing issues!

I used to think the “king of 40 thieves” line in St. Jimmy was “king of all you peas”. It took me two years to finally realize what that actual line was.

Technically Operation Ivy, but of course I've listened to the Green Day version a million times more, but I always thought

Wide open road to my future now
Is looking fucking narrow

was

Wide open road to my future now
And fuck the fucking barrel

The first time I heard Nuclear Family when Uno leaked on the web I thought it was "I just want some action so gimme Mike Dirnt". Made me giggle until I read the lyrics as "my turn". 
Still sing "Mike Dirnt" to this day though!

Pretty sure he has sung that live somewhere or another.
