Ok, I almost destryed my chair :lol: If it wasn't 9 p.m., I would listen to it on high volume on my stereo system. And then my neigbours will sing "someone kill Magda" xD

I love it, it's awesome. Green Day are always better live (and unclean :P) so no surprises there for me really. Can't wait to hear the album version!

I think my neighbours must already be singing "someone kill the neighbour, shoot the fucking neighbour!" after how much I've played the live recordings and now this one. :lol:

Well it's ok they release it a week later cause we heard the song and they have a week to do something to promote it...

So we'll just wait to hear the actual version in a week it's cool with me.

Thanks achin' to be :)

I can't get over the line Sodom and Gomorrah in the Century of Thrills. That's such an epic way of describing the time we live in. Billie's bible fetish FINALLY strikes a chord with me :lol: After the many general love song lyrics we've been hearing, that really pumped me up.

Need to dig into the lyrics more to really get what Billie is, um, shooting at here...but at first listen this one oughta satisfy some people who were craving deeper meaning in the new, simple songs. This is an innovative way of exploring (again) the "make it all fucking STOP" theme that Billie has touched on before, and the lyrics I've been able to make out so far are up there with the best of Billie's songwriting. There's also a thread of isolation inside a bubble while the whole world is exploding around you in there, that's apparent right from the beginning: "Walking after dark, in the New York City park"....all alone, observing all of the insanity that is life in the Big Apple, and just wanting to choke whoever the hell is responsible for creating it. It's BOBD-class loneliness and "I don't belong-ness" that Billie seems to be approaching from a different angle....Warning-esque poppy, punky melancholy that only Green Day is capable of pulling off.

I *love* that they're setting a 70's disco rhythm -- the mainstream house music of that era -- as the backdrop for the repeating "someone kill the deejay" chorus. The rhythm, the solos all come together in a mix that's as punchy and clean as Oh Love was. I agree that the radio-censored version loses some of the emotional punch from the live versions we've heard -- in this case, the use (or some would argue over-use) of the F-bomb is really necessary to hammer the point home.

So after first listen, BIG thumbs-up.

Everyone shut up about auto-tune because you guys obviously don't know what it really is.

Ok genius, explain please

Is that Mike singing the "someone shoot the dj" part? with Billie echoing "someone kill the dj", or am I just hearing things?

LYG is still the best new song, but this is a nice second. The uncensored version will be awesomer.

It sounds like Billie the whole time to me :/ Not sure though

EVERYONE ASKING FOR LYRICS: We all want them, we don't have them. People (myself included) have tried to figure stuff out in the Lyrics thread.

I'd prefer to hear a beep. It's adds to the song in some cases. Like the American Idiot radio edit.

And it would it could have a double meaning if it was put into Kill The DJ.

Because of censoring and everything.

I take back my words about it being too slow. When I was listening to it while walking I noticed I was walking exactly to the beat of the song. Made me feel awesome :D

I should credit slapdown from the Green Day subreddit. Do I get a mention on GDA for this? :D

Why do you care so much about getting a mention?

This isn't going to get you laid...

This is what I've got:

Walking after dark

In the New York City park

Your thoughts are so unholy

In the holiness of old

On with Christian soldiers

Filled with jivin' mind control

The bull left on the dance floor

Ridin', runnin' red

The bullet that you asked for's

Killing you to death

Unless you...

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

Voices in my head are saying,

"Shoot the fucker down."

We are the vultures

The dirtiest kind

They cut you once

In your heart and your mind

Walking after dark

In the New York City park

_______ left in the club

Pocket full of pills

Sodom and Gommorah

In the century of thrills

The bull left on the dance floor

Ridin', runnin' red

The bullet that you asked for's

Killing you to death

Unless you…

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

Hold him under water

'til the mother fucker drowns

We are the vultures

The dirtiest kind

They'll cut you once

In your heart and your mind

____'s about to get you boy

Shoot the fucker down

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

(Walking after dark)

Shoot the fucker down

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

Someone kill the DJ, shoot the fucking DJ

Voices in my head are saying

"Shoot the fucker down"
