Is it okay to ask how large the filesize is for Revolution Radio? I want to find a leak but want to make sure I download a legit one. 

100mb. Delete if I'm not allowed to say

Think Billie may have been listening to Alkaline Trio while writing Too Dumb To Die, sorta similar to "We've Had Enough"

Hopefully the actual released version has cleaner transitions than the leak. I'm finding that the songs that segue into one another have a very, very slight gap between them that kind of kills the flow.

Also, I really dont think the cover art reflects the music on this album at all. Lol

Now to wonder which songs have single potential. Let's say there will be two more singles of the 9 new songs. What do you think they will be?

I think Say Goodbye, Bouncing Off the Wall and Outlaws has potential. Ordinary World is also a contender, but that is mostly due to it's connection to the movie of the same name.

Say Goodbye is incredible.  It's like a more accessible East Jesus Nowhere, which was never one of my favorites.

 

Troubles Times and Too Dumb to Die were fine, but forgettable.  

 

I was pleasantly entertained by Youngblood considering all the hate on here.  It started off weird but was really fun!

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Ordinary World becomes a single, just because of the movie. I thought it would have been one already.

Violence on the rise
Like a bullet in the sky
Oh lord have mercy on my soul
Kindred spirits sing
For the sick and suffering
The city of damage control
This is how we roll

Oh Billie

Reading that doesn't sound promising.

Still Breathing is the album's biggest chance at a hit, so I'm hoping it gets a proper radio release

Also, Outlaws kinda feels like it could fit as the last track on American Idiot.  It's kinda like whatsername, and the line "We destroyed suburbia" is so nostalgic and like the end of that story.

I thought East Jesus Nowhere was just a less accessible Holiday :P

I think by this point everyone agrees that the band just weren't satisfied with C&V and decided to start from scratch. Although rumour has it a few of those songs found their way onto the trilogy, I can't remember which ones people were saying though.

Walk away was the main song from C&V that people claimed was on the trilogy because interviews from that era mention a song called walk away. Personally I just think they wrote another song with that title but Green Day do often wait for years to release a song (good riddance, when it's time, etc)

To Dumb to Die is the first song I've heard from them since AI that I could honest to goodness say, "This 100% fits on one of their older albums." It's like an improved-upon version of a Warning era song, but it's still a Warning era song nonetheless. And I love that. This album almost feels like changing radio stations, listening to different genres' takes on the world we live in. 

Isn't it so fucking cool that the band who made 39/Smooth made this album? I think that's pretty incredible.

You need to hear the song, don't comment on the lyrics until you've heard it, thanks.

I agree, he really hits the notes well on that part.

Did Billie really say "my little exorcist" in Bouncing off the Walls? :lol:  That man.

I posted this on reddit earlier today but it got removed, so I figured I'd place it here as well since the forums seem to be a bit less strict on discussion of the album. 

Here's my lyric sheet for the entire album:

Spoiler

These are not official, but assumed based on what I can hear:

Somewhere Now

I'm running late to Somewhere Now
I don't want to be
Where the future and promises
a'int what it used to be

I never wanted to compromise 
or bargain with my soul
How did the life on the wild side get so dull?

I'm cut off and medicated
I'm untying the reings (?)
I put the "riot" in patriot
and we all die in threes!

I got a seed(?) in the middle of the road
I'm gonna take my time
I shot my lines so I can bolt
At the speed of life!

I'm like a drum way up in the sky
I'm a shooting star
There's a soldier that's freaking out
Because this is war!

I'm cut off and medicated
I'm untying the reings (?)
I put the "riot" in patriot
and we all die in threes!

All we want is weed(?) and guns (?)
A new catastrophe!
Here goes nothing, there's nothing to lose!
It's a small price we pay, when we all die in threes!

Ooooooh, Somewhere Now
Somewhere Now
Somewhere Now! x3

Hallelujah I found my soul, under the sofa pillows
Congratulations I found myself to Somewhere Now!
Somewhere Now! 
Somewhere Now"

Bang Bang

"(This is definitely not the first video to surface of an execution)
(Women smashed of men, they claimed responsibility for the executions)
(Described as severely mentally disturbed)
(Videos are showing another hostage executed by the terrorist group)
(Deserve to be annihilated)

I get my kicks and I want to start a rager
I want to dance like I'm on the video
I got a fever for the violent behavior
I'm sweating bullets like a modern Romeo

Bang Bang! Give me fame
Shoot me up to entertain
I am a semi-automatic lonely boy
You're dead! I'm well fed
Give me death or give me head
Daddy's little psycho and Mommy's little soldier

I testify like a lullaby of memories
Broadcasting live and it's on my radio
I got my photo bomb, I got my Vietnam
I love a lie just like anybody else

Bang Bang! Give me fame
Shoot me up to entertain
I am a semi-automatic lonely boy
You're dead! I'm well fed
Give me death or give me head
Broadcasting from my room and playing with my toys

I want to be a celebrity martyr
The leading man in my own private drama
Hurrah (bang bang), hurrah (bang bang)
The hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho and Mommy's little soldier

I want to be like the soldiers on the screen
It's my private holy war
Oh baby baby this is Viva Vendetta
For this is love or it's World War Zero

I want to be a celebrity martyr
The leading man in my own private drama
Hurrah (bang bang), hurrah (bang bang)
The hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho and Mommy's little soldier

I want to be a celebrity martyr
The leading man in my own private drama
Hurrah (bang bang), hurrah (bang bang)
The hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho and Mommy's little soldier"

Revolution Radio

"Scream with your hands up in the sky
Like you want to testify 
For the life that's been deleted
Sing like a rebel's lullaby
Under the stars and stripes
For the lost souls that were cheated

We will be seen but not be heard

We are revolution radio
Operation no control
And the headline
My love's bullet proof
Give me cherry bombs and gasoline
Debutantes in surgery
And the headline
Legalize the truth

Give me rage like there's teargas in the crowd
Do you wanna live out loud?
But the air is barely breathing
Rise of the slums to the obsolete
The dawn of the new airwaves
For the anti-social media

We are revolution radio
Operation no control
And the headline
My love's bullet proof
Give me cherry bombs and gasoline
Debutantes in surgery
And the headline
Legalize the truth

We will be seen but not be heard
We are the songs of the disturbed

We are revolution radio
Operation no control
And the headline
My love's bullet proof
Give me cherry bombs and gasoline
Debutantes in surgery
And the headline
Legalize the truth"

Say Goodbye

"Say Goodbye to the ones that we love

Say Goodbye to the ones we love
Say Goodbye to the ones that were younger(?) and bye to the ones we love

Say Goodbye to the ones that we love
Say Goodbye to the ones we love
Say Goodbye to the ones were loved, Say Goodbye to the ones that we love

Violence on the rise, like a bullet in the sky
O Lord have mercy on my soul
Kindred spirits sing, for the sick and suffering! (and suffering!)
The city of damaged control, this is how we!
Oh, oh, ohh!

Say Hello to the cops on patrol
Say Hello to the cops on patrol
Say Hello to the cops on patrol
Say Hello to the ones in control!

Teach your children well, from the bottom of the well
O Lord have mercy on my soul
Hear the children sing, for the sick and suffering (and suffering!)
The city of damaged control, this is how we!
Oh, oh, ohhhh!

Violence on the rise, like a bullet in the sky
O Lord have mercy on my soul
Kindred spirits sing, for the sick and suffering! (and suffering!)
The city of damaged control, this is how we!

Say a prayer for the ones that we love
Say a prayer for the ones we love
Say a prayer for the ones that we love
Say Goodbye to the ones that we love
This is how we!

Say a prayer for the ones that we love
Say a prayer for the ones we love
Say a prayer for the ones that we love
Say Goodbye to the ones that we love
This is how we"

Outlaws

"Life after youth, fade in twilight
The dawn of a criminal in bloom
First love, first forgiveness
We were delinquents, freaks of a fading memory

Outlaws, when we were forever young
When we were outlaws, we're outlaws of redemption
But in the end
Hooligans, we destroyed suburbia
When we were outlaws
We're outlaws of forever

Scars, broken hearts
Breaking in cars, running in the light of the moon
Lost souls, bottle rockets
All that we wanted, it's for our life beyond the stars

Outlaws, when we were forever young
When we were outlaws, we're outlaws of redemption
Baby
Hooligans, we destroyed suburbia
When we were outlaws
We're outlaws of forever, baby

I got my(?) super vision, nothing will change my spirits
(?)
I plead my innocence, I plead my innocence
But that's my best defense
When you are young

Outlaws, when we were forever young
When we were outlaws, we're outlaws of redemption
Baby
Hooligans, we destroyed suburbia
When we were outlaws
The outlaws of forever

I found a knife by the railroad track, you took a train and you can't go back
Forever Now, Forever Now you'll roam"

Bouncing Off The Wall

"Concrete dream, I'm gonna make a scene
Radio, covered in gasoline
Sleeping in reverse and everybody's bouncing off the walls

Bombs away, it's just another day
A vital threat, the secret alphabet
I wouldn't sweat it, and everybody's bouncing off the walls (I'm bouncing off the walls!)

Alright
Concrete kiss, come on and do the twist
And radio, my little exorcist
We're all getting pissed, and everybody's bouncing off the walls!

'Cause it's all that I want and I want to be free

Got Satan riding next to me

'Cause we're all bloody freaks and we'll give you the creeps, chasing fireflies and zeroes!
(Hey!)
(Hey!)

'Cause it's all that I want and I want to be free
Got Satan riding next to me
'Cause we're all bloody freaks and we'll give you the creeps, chasing fireflies and zeroes!

(Hey!)
(Hey!)"

Still Breathing

"I'm like a child looking off on the horizon
I'm like an ambulance that's turning on the sirens
Oh, I'm still alive
I'm like a soldier coming home for the first time
I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine
Oh, I'm still alive

Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away

'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way away
My way to you

I'm like a junkie tying off for the last time
I'm like a loser that's betting on his last dime
Oh, I'm still alive
I'm like a son that was raised without a father
I'm like a mother barely keeping it together
Oh, I'm still alive

Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away

'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, away, away...

As I walked out on the ledge
Are you scared to death to live?
I've been running all my life
Just to find a home that's for the restless
And the truth that's in the message
Making my way, away, away

'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, away, away...
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, away
My way to you"

Youngblood

"Young blood, Young blood, Young Blood
She's my little young blood
Young blood, Young blood, Young Blood
Punch drunk and young blood!

She's a loner, not a stoner
Bleeding heart and the soul of Miss Theresa
Supernova, Cherry Cola
She's a the cedar in the trees of Minnesota

I'm a rough boy, 'round the edges
Getting drunk and falling into hedges
She's my weakness, fucking genius
Swear to god, and I'm not even superstitious!

Young blood, Young blood, Young Blood
She's my little young blood
Young blood, Young blood, Young Blood
Punch drunk and young blood!

I wanna hold you like a gun, we'll shoot the moon into the sun
Alright! Alright! Ow!

Are you stranded? Like I'm stranded? Do you wanna watch the world fall to pieces?
Are you broken? Like I'm broken? Are you restless? She said "fuck you, I'm from Oakland!"

Young blood, Young blood, Young Blood
She's my little young blood
Young blood, Young blood, Young Blood
Punch drunk and young blood!"

Too Dumb To Die

"Oh, Oh, I love you
Oh, Oh, I do
I got a sentimental illness for you
Please don't go away, oh yeah

I was a high school atom bomb, going off on the weekends
Smoking dope and mowing lawns, and I hated all the new trends
Me and my friends and blow
Into the middle of the road, at least it's better than here

Looking for a cause, well all I got was Santa Clause
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
I feel like a Jell-O(???), lost somewhere over the rainbow
We are alive(?), too scared to dream
But too dumb to die

My daddy always was on strike
Going off with the teamsters
He said that everything'll be alright
Not every Sunday can be Easter

The picket lines scream "Woah! (Woah!) Don't cross!
Don't cross the line because you'll be a scab, not a martyr!

Looking for a cause, well all I got was camouflage
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
I feel like a Jell-O(???), lost somewhere over the rainbow
We are alive(?), too scared to dream
But too dumb to......(Hey!)

Looking for a cause, well all I got was camouflage
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
I feel like a Jell-O(???), lost somewhere over the rainbow
We are alive(?), too scared to dream
But too dumb to die!"

Troubled Time

"What good is love and peace on Earth?
When it's exclusive?
Where's the truth in the written word?
If no one reads it?
A new day dawning, comes without warning
So don't think twice, we live in Troubled Times
We live in Troubled Times

What part of history we've heard(?)
When it's repeated
Some things we'll never overcome
If we don't seek it
The world stops turning, paradise burning
So don't think twice, we live in Troubled Times
We live in Troubled Times
We live in Troubled Times

We run for cover, like a skyscaper's falling down
And I wonder, like a troubled mind

What good is love and peace on Earth?
When it's exclusive?
Where's the truth in the written word?
If no one reads it?
A new day dawning, comes without warning
So don't look twice, we live in Troubled Times
We live in Troubled Times!
We live in Troubled Minds!
We live in Troubled Times!
We live in Troubled Times!
We live in Troubled Times!"

Forever Now

"My name is Billie and I'm freaking out*

I thought before I was, now I can't really figure it out
I sit alone with my thoughts and prayers
Screaming my memories as if I was never there
Standing at the edge of the world, it's giving me the chills
Looking down the edge of the world, lost in a tango(?) it's freaking me out
Burning lights and black outs (oh, oh, oh!)
From the edge of the world! (oh, oh, oh!)
From the edge of the world!

I'm like a punk rocker on labor day

How the hell did I work so hard to be born this way(?)
I never learned to read or write so well
But I can play guitar, and until it hurts like hell!
Standing at the edge of the world, it's giving me the chills
Looking down the edge of the world, lost in a tango(?) it's freaking me out
Burning lights and black outs (oh, oh, oh!)
From the edge of the world! (oh, oh, oh!)
From the edge of the world!

If this is what you call the good life, I want a better way to die!
If this is what you call the good life, I want a better way to die!

Oh I, don't wanna think about tomorrow! Don't wanna think about the road, it doesn't matter anyway!
Oh I, I wanna start a revolution! I wanna hear it on my radio, I'll put it off another day!
I want a new conspiracy, and the silence of a thousand cries!
So hurry up, I want a better way to die!

I'm running late to Somewhere Now, I don't want to be
Where the future and promise, a'int what it used to be
I never wanted to compromise, or bargain with my soul
How did the life on the wild side ever get so full?

Somewhere Noooow (x4)

Oh I, don't wanna think about tomorrow!

(Somewhere Noooow)

Don't wanna think about the road

(Somewhere Noooow),

it doesn't matter anyway!

(Somewhere Noooow)
Oh I

(Somewhere Noooow),

I wanna start a revolution!

(Somewhere Noooow)

I wanna hear it on my radio,

I'll put it off another day!

(Somewhere Noooow)
Oh I

(I a'int gonna stand in line no more!),

don't wanna think about tomorrow!

(I a'int gonna stand in line no more!)

Don't wanna think about the road

(I a'int gonna stand in line no more!),

I wanna hear it on my radio, I'll put it on another day!

(I a'int gonna stand in line no more!)"

Ordinary World

"Where can I find the city of shining light?
In an Ordinary World
How can I leave a buried treasure behind?
In an Ordinary World
The days into years roll by
It's where that I live until I die
Ordinary World

Mmmmmm, mmmmhmm

What would you wish if you saw a shooting star?
In an Ordinary World
I'd walk to the end of the Earth and afar
In an Ordinary World
Baby I don't have much, but what we have is more than enough
Ordinary World

Mmmmmm, mmmmhmm

Where can I find the city of shining light?
In an Ordinary World
How can I leave a buried treasure behind?
In an Ordinary World
Baby I don't have much, but what we have is more than enough
Ordinary World

Mmmmmm, mmmmhmm"


As you can see, some lines were harder for me to discern than others, so if anyone has any further edits that might make these lyrics more accurate, those are welcome

EDIT: Changed a verse in "Too Dumb To Die", thanks to u/carrotprincess!

EDIT2: Made some changes to several verses from "Say Goodbye", "Bouncing Off The Wall", Youngblood", Too Dumb To Die" & "Troubled Time"!

EDIT3: Better formatting! Not sure how to arrange the ending of "Forever Now" since there's so many overlapping vocals during the last chorus, I APOLOGIZE

EDIT4: Fixed another verse for "Youngblood"

EDIT5: Fixed various lines in "Forever Now"

EDIT6: Added the Official lyrics to the chorus of "Bouncing Off The Wall" Source

I think this will take some time to sink in. At first listen, the song structures and lyrics all sound so forced. Different to be different. The trilogy sounds more natural to me.

I've come around to the first three songs the have been officially released. I'm sure these songs will start sticking soon enough.

first listen done! first impression is: its good .. not overwhelmed .. not underwhelmed .. sth new and fresh from GD, but I think after some months when I will listen to GD on shuffle, i will probably skip the revrad songs for better ones of GD

Not entirely similar but very reminiscent, has the darker tone to it.
