Misheard Green Day Lyrics


LaughingClock

Recommended Posts

In 21 Guns "Your faith walks on broken glass"

I thought was "Your face was a looking glass"

As in 'you're so easy to read, you are a terrible liar'. I kind of knew it wasn't that 'cause it has nothing to do with the song.

Don't want a nation under the new media

It's going out to idiot America

Wait, those are wrong? That's how I sing them now.

I only just realized it wasn't 'Idiot nation' when I got the cast CD :P

I'm pretty sure that part's right? Unless I have the lyrics wrong!

Yeah, apparently it's "mania" and "calling out." And I was so sure of those two. :sleep:

In Static Age, I used to think the chorus was:

'Enserio, in the static age'

In a local dialect we have here, 'Enserio' means 'I'm being seriously' or 'Are you being serious?'.

That fucked up the song. XD I thought Billie had suddenly started to talk in llanito. Until I checked the lyric booklet.

this one is not a major one but it still counts dammit! in homecoming i used to think it was " here they come marching down the street, like a desperation murmur of our feet" i think thats an easy one to get wrong

In When It's Time, I initially thought it was

And I feel lonely for

All the losers that will never take the time to say

What is really on their mind instead

Bitches hide away

:lol:

I thought that "I can't even sleep, from the light's early dawn" in 21CB was "I can't even see, from the light to lead on."

Naw, I don't think so :P

I thought it was "I do my crunches in the river of a shadow of doubt"

But no.

Nah, in the demo version of the song it is "from rainstorms til dawn". He changed it to "from the light's early dawn" on the album. I prefer the demo lyric :P

My first favourite Green Day song was Boulevard of Broken Dreams, and I remember a year ago I was learning the lyrics (only took a few tries, but still :L).

I sang the lyrics 'Don't know where it goes, but it's only me and I walk alone' until my friend told me it was 'but it's home to me'

Oops :S :L

I have been a Green Day fan for years

And this snuck up on me yesterday when I was playing GD:RB

Basket Case

I thought it was:

Do you have the time to listen to me whine? About nothing and everything, all I want?

GD:RB says it's

About nothing and everything all at once?

Is that really it? If so, I've been saying it wrong for years.
