Brutal Love (edited by Vanilla Shake)

Turn out the light

Close your eyes

Turn up the silence

The heartache of your life

Dance forever

Under the lights

This brutal love

Oh how you want it

You're begging for it

But you can't have it

Even if you tried

It's in the clutches

In the hands of

This brutal love

Old toys

This plastic heart

Loners and fools

Are tearing me apart

Here comes trouble

The uninvited

This brutal love

Danger

Not quite at home

The eyes of temptation

The flesh and my bones

Hello stranger

I'm a disaster

This brutal love

Bad luck

Bitters and soda

Anguish and shame

The modern fool

Bad sex

Buy me a train wreck

Something for my troubled

Mind

Bad luck

Bitters and soda

Anguish and shame

The modern fool

Mad love

Kiss me I'm loaded

Something for my troubled

Mind

Drop out

Drop dead hideous

How low is this brutal love?

Drop out

Drop dead hideous

How low is this brutal love?

Drop out

Drop dead hideous

How low is this brutal love?

Drop out

Drop dead hideous

How low is this brutal love?

This brutal love

Missing You

SAYOOOOOH

Waking up, feeling naked

In my clothes

Inside a room that's vacant

Lost my nerve

it's un-nerving

I know there is something i'm forgetting..

I searched the moon

I lost my head

I even looked under the bed

I punched the walls

I hit the street

I'm down in the pavement lookin'

I'm missing you

I'm missing you

You're not around

And i'm a complete disaster!

I'm missing you

Remember, was the first time

I told you I loved you at the bus station

Don't forget, cause it's not over

I'm not lost cause I'm just missing you

I searched the moon

I lost my head

I even looked under the bed

I punched the walls

I hit the street

I'm down in the pavement lookin'

I'm missing you

I'm missing you

You're not around

And i'm a complete disaster!

I'm missing you

Say hey!

chickapa

Well she's my blood

Well she's my soul

I get so lost out in the cold

Feels so far

Like this lone star

It gets so hard

When I'm missing you

I'm missing you

I'm missing you

You're not around

And i'm a FUCKING disaster!

I'm missing you

8th Avenue Serenade

Say hello from your window

Say goodbye from your car

Say goodnight from your pillow

Say so long from the stars

OOooOOoOooooooOOo

Take a walk out of my life

Sing to me a lullaby

Cradle songs for a mid life

Don't forget to pass me by

As my imagination runs away

On this 8th avenue serenade

Meet me at the bathroom stall

Meet me at the whispering wall

Before all the flames.. Burn out

OOOoOoOOooOooOoo

As my imagination runs away

On this 8th avenue serenade

Meet me at the bathroom stall

Meet me at the whispering wall

Before all the flames.. Burn out

oooOOoooOOOOOoooo

Drama Queen

She is my drama queen

She is so wild and reckless

There goes my drama queen

She dangles from her necklace

Daddy's little bundle of joy

Out of a magazine

Everyone's drama queen

Is old enough to bleed now

She is my drama queen

Her life is now unfolding

There goes my drama queen

What do you think she's holding?

Aye little drama queen

How did you find your savior?

Oh little drama queen

You better call a lawyer

Daddy's little bundle of joy

Out of a magazine

Everyone's drama queen

Is old enough to bleed now

Aye little drama queen

From here to San Francisco

Everyone's drama queen

I think she's going psycho

Daddy's little bundle of joy

Out of a magazine

Everyone's drama queen

Is old enough to bleed now

She's old enough to bleed now

She's old enough to bleed now

X-Kid

Hey, little kid

Did you wake up late one day and

You're not so young, but you're still dumb

And you're numb to your old glory but now it's gone

I fell in love, but it didn't catch your fall

Then I crashed, into a wall

Then I fell to pieces on the floor

Now you're sick to death

Bombs away, here goes nothing

The shouting's over

Hey X-Kid, bombs away

Here goes nothing

The shouting's over and out

Over and out again

I once was old enough

To know better, than I was too young to care

but who cares, probably would but

Hollywood is dead and gone

You fell in love but then you just fell apart

Like a kick in the head

You're an X-Kid and you never even got started again

Bombs away, here goes nothing

The shouting's over

Hey X-Kid, bombs away

Here goes nothing

The shouting's over and out

Over and out

And you were such a young soul

And you got lost and out of control

You went over the edge of joking

And I have a broken heart

Hey, little kid

Did you wake up late one day and

You're not so young, but you're still dumb

You're an X-Kid and you never even got started again

Bombs away, here goes nothing

The shouting's over

Hey X-Kid, bombs away

Here goes nothing

The shouting's over

Hey X-Kid, bombs away

Here goes nothing

The shouting's over

Hey X-Kid, bombs away

Here goes nothing

The shouting's over and out

Over and out

Over and over and out

Sex, Drugs, & Violence

All my life trouble follows me like a mystery girl

And I've been chasing round the memory like a mystery girl

I've been getting lost searching my soul all around this town

I took a wrong turn in growing up and it's freaking me out

Back at school it never made much sense

Now I pay but I can pay attention

Teaches me the hardest lessons of my life

These turned to dark, yes, but that's the way it goes

Sometimes I must regress these

Sex, drugs & violence

English, math & science,

Safety in numbers

Give me, give me danger

What little wanna be an imbecil?

But Jesus made me that way

All my life I've been running wild like a runaway

Wherever the night takes me like a stowaway

Back at home it never made much sense

Now I pay but I can pay attention

Teaches me the hardest lessons of my life

These turned to dark, yes, but that's the way it goes

Sometimes I must regress these

Sex, drugs & violence

English, math & science,

Safety in numbers

Give me, give me danger

Back at home it never made much sense

Now I pay but I can pay attention

Teaches me the hardest lessons of my life

These turned to dark, yes, but that's the way it goes

Sometimes I must regress these

Sex, drugs & violence

English, math & science,

Safety in numbers

Give me, give me danger

Sex, drugs & violence

English, math & science,

Safety in numbers

Give me, give me danger

Sex, drugs & violence

English, math & science,

Safety in numbers

Give me, give me danger

Little Boy Named Train

Where did you come from? Where have you been?

Looks like you fell into the trash bin

Got to the train, I'm crashing the car

Back in the day like shooting for the stars

Like a life-long daisy chain

Of my imagination

Rat inside a maze

I got no destination

Cause I'm a little boy named Train

Ask me again, I'll tell you the same

Little boy name Train

I don't know where I come from

But I know where I have been

Serious people look funny to me

Funny people seem so serious

I'm always lost and nothing will change

Give me directions and I'll get lost again

Like a life-long daisy chain

Of my imagination

Rat inside a maze

I got no destination

Cause I'm a little boy named Train

Ask me again, I'll tell you the same

Little boy name Train

I don't know where I come from

But I know where I have been

Like a life-long daisy chain

Of my imagination

Rat inside a maze

I got no destination

Cause I'm a little boy named Train

Ask me again, I'll tell you the same

Little boy name Train

I don't know where I come from

But I know where I have been

I said don't know where I come from

But I know where I have been

Amanda

Amanda, don't you know?

That I still walk around

It's foggy round about

When I get back in town

I was a different man

From 5 seconds ago

And you're a different woman, that's for certain

I don't know a thing about

Is this some kind of love

That only hate would understand?

Amanda,

I couldn't be your man

Amanda, don't you know?

I wasn't strong enough

And in your wild mind

I wasn't smart enough

I was a different kid

From 15 years ago

And you're a different woman, that's for certain

And I wanna know about

Is this some kind of love

That only hate would understand?

Amanda,

I couldn't be your man

I'm not playing with your mind

Unless you think I am

Cause you were crushing my heart

Like a bad yearning round

Is this some kind of love

That only hate would understand?

Amanda,

I couldn't be your man

Walk Away

This time

I've gotta put my guard down

And pick myself up off the ground

And take the pain

It'll pass

The swelling never really lasts

But the scar remains remind me

That I'm still living

Well it's not too late

Girl it's really not worth the fight

No one's right

Well it's time to walk away

Walk away

Walk away

Walk away

Walk away

Well the bigger that you call

All the lying I can't afford

Walk away

Walk away

Did you win?

Oh baby, did you lose?

Now you're gonna lick your wounds anyway

But it comes back to you

When you fall

You're gonna need a parachute

Only a spare of shoes to go

And walk away

Well it's not too late

Girl it's really not worth the fight

No one's right

Well it's time to walk away

Walk away

Walk away

Walk away

Walk away

Well the bigger that you call

All the lying I can't afford

Walk away

Walk away

Walk away

Eh eh eh eh eh

Walk away

Eh eh eh eh eh

Walk away

Well the bigger that you call

All the lying I can't afford

Walk away

Walk away

Walk away

Walk away

Walk away

Dirty Rotten Bastards (may be some screwed up lyrics here, let me know.)

Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

Calling all demons, this is the season

Next stop is therapy

With the retarded and the broken hearted

The seasonal misery

Here's to the wasted

I can almost taste it

The rejects waste their times

We're gonna take it further

Get away with murder

And no one here is getting out alive

Here's to all God's losers la la la la ley

Ba ba damfi hersh benzib

Here's to all blood suckers

Sing along with me

Cause we don't say bells no 1, 2, 3

Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

We're too old to be misbehaved

We sold our souls and so ashamed of ourselves

So we wait for this judgment day

Write me a letter and send it to my grave yeah

Upper tap beyond intervention

Fuck the world, this is my revolution

Long lost souls and living in cages

I'm all up in this, it's one for the ages

I got the edge to pitch and touch

The tables turn to crash and burn

And you'll remember all this time

Make my team, it's gone to life

Our duty and our honor side

I'm watching people pushing pride

I'll drop a line on your best friend's ashes

Just dust when the red light flashes

What the fuck does OK stand for?

When the afterlife is something worth dying for

I got the edge to pitch and touch

The tables turn to crash and burn

And you'll remember all this time

Make my team, it's gone to life

Our duty and our honor side

I'm watching people pushing pride

The life

Well California's burning to the ground

And Julian that walks on holy ground

Where there's smoke there's fire burning out the lights

Cause California's burning down tonight

To the ground

Calling all demons, this is the season

Next stop is therapy

With the retarded and the broken hearted

The seasonal misery

Here's to the wasted

I can almost taste it

The rejects waste their times

We're gonna take it further

Get away with murder

And no one here is getting out alive

Here's to all God's losers la la la la ley

Ba ba damfi hersh benzib

Here's to all blood suckers

Sing along with me

Cause we don't say no straight 1, 2, 3

We're carried away, carried away, carried away

We're carried away, carried away, carried away

We're carried away, carried away, carried away

We're carried away, carried away, carried away

We're carried away, carried away, carried away

We're carried away, carried away, carried away

99 Revolutions

There's a trouble in the air

A rumble in the streets

A going out of business sale

And a race to bankruptcy

It's not one to 99, it's 99 to one

A common cause and a call to arms

For the health of our daughters and our sons

It's 99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

There's a rat in the company

A bill on easy street

How the fuck did the working stiff

Become so obsolete?

Hit the lights and bang the drum

And let your flag unfold

Cause history will prove itself

In the halls of justice and lost souls

It's 99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

We live in troubled times

From the ghettos to an empty suburban home

We live in troubled times

And I'm 99 percent sure that something's wrong

It's all wrong

It's 99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

9-9 to one

To one!!

YEAHH!!

The Forgotten

Where in the world's the forgotten?

They're lost inside your memory

You're dragging on, your heart's been broken

As we all go down in history

Where in the world did the time go?

It's where your spirit seems to roam

Like losing faith to our abandon

Or an empty hallway from a broken home

Don't look away

From the arms of a bad dream

Don't look away

Sometimes you're better lost than to be seen

I don't feel strange, it's more like haunted

Another moment trapped in time

I can't quite put my finger on it

But it's like a child that was left behind

So where in the world's the forgotten?

like soldiers from a long lost war

We share the scars from our abandon

And what we remember becomes folk lore

Don't look away

From the arms of a bad dream

Don't look away

Sometimes you're better lost than to be seen

Don't look away

From the arms of a moment

Don't look away

From the arms of tomorrow

Don't look away

From the arms of a moment

Don't look away

From the arms of love

Don't look away

From the arms of a bad dream

Don't look away

Sometimes you're better lost than to be seen

Don't look away

From the arms of a moment

Don't look away

From the arms of tomorrow

Don't look away

From the arms of a moment

Don't look away

From the arms of love

They are all correct but like I said in the OP, Dirty Rotten Bastards was the only one I had trouble with. If you could, could you help me fix it?

Brutal Love is wrong too. Someone posted the lyrics from the booklet: http://imgur.com/a/bGbj2

So, Brutal Love should be more like this.

Turn out the light

Close your eyes

Turn up the silence

The heartache of your life

Dance forever

Under the lights

This brutal love

Oh how you want it

You're begging for it

But you can't have it

Even if you tried

It's in the clutches

In the hands of

This brutal love

Old toys

This plastic heart

Loners and fools

Are tearing me apart

Here comes trouble

The uninvited

This brutal love

Danger

Not quite at home

The eyes of temptation

The flesh and my bones

Hello stranger

I'm a disaster

This brutal love

Bad luck

Bitters and soda

Anguish and shame

The modern fool

Bad sex

Buy me a train wreck

Something for my troubled

Mind

Bad luck

Bitters and soda

Anguish and shame

The modern fool

Mad love

Kiss me I'm loaded

Something for my troubled

Mind

Drop out

Drop dead hideous

How low is this brutal love?

Drop out

Drop dead hideous

How low is this brutal love?

Drop out

Drop dead hideous

How low is this brutal love?

Drop out

Drop dead hideous

How low is this brutal love?

Nearly all the lyrics remained the same. Man was changed from kid in the first verse, and the bridge is from Gabriella, but everything is pretty much how it was. Are you comparing it to the fan heard lyrics by any chance? Because you can't really trust them

I'm absolutely blown away by the passion behind the lyrics and the vocals in 99 Revolutions. I almost break a tear when singing this song, the chills are so strong.

Theres a trouble in the air a rumble in the streets/a going out of business sale in a race to bankruptcy/It's not 1 to 99 It's 99 to 1 /A common cause and a call to arms /for the health of our daughters and our sons

Genius. Absolute.

I'm loving that line in the chorus of Amanda too. "Is this some kind of love/that only hate could understand"

I was blown away by the raw emotion in the vocals for Brutal Love and X-Kid, especially towards the end. Puts a huge smile on my face.

I also love how the "red lights flash" line is on all three of the albums.

Don't stop

Don't stop

Don't stop when the red lights flash

Stop when the red lights flash

I'll trade you blood for dirty cash

Chop me a line of my best friend's ashes

Dust to dust when the red light flashes

Seriously. Great way to evoke themes and concept in the trilogy, it really reminds us that these 3 albums go so well together.

Calling all demons

This is the season

Next stop is therapy

We’re the retarded

And the broken-hearted

The season of misery

Here’s to the wasted

I can almost taste it

The rejects and waste of times

Gonna take it further

Get away with murder

And no one here is getting out alive

(GreenDayAuthority.com)

Here’s to all God’s losers

Ra da da da de

The bottom-feeder’s frenzy

Here’s to all blood suckers

Sing along with me

‘Cause we don’t say no

Scream 1-2-3

We’re too old to be misbehaved

We sold our souls and so ashamed of ourselves

So we wait for Miss Judgement Day

Write me a letter and send it to my grave

All fucked up beyond intervention

Fuck the world this is my revolution

Long lost souls and liven’ in cages

I’m on a bender It’s one for the ages

I’ve got the urge to binge and surge

The tables turn

To crash and burn

Juliana Homicide

Make my demons come to life

Juliana Homicide

Won’t you be my blushing bride?

Chop me a line of my best friend’s ashes

Dust to dust when the red light flashes

What the fuck does “OK” stand for?

When the afterlife is nothing worth dying for

I’ve got the urge to binge and surge

The tables turn

To crash and burn

Juliana Homicide

Make my demons come to life

Juliana Homicide

Won’t you be my blushing bride?

California’s burning to the ground

And Julianna walks on holy ground

Where there’s smoke there’s fire

Burning out the lights

‘Cause California’s burning down tonight

Tonight

Calling all demons

This is the season

Next stop is therapy

We’re the retarded

And the broken-hearted

The season of misery

Here’s to the wasted

Carried Away

I've been examining the Dirty Rotten Bastard lyrics a bit closer so this is my opinion on what the song is about. When the song starts with Calling all demons, I think this is more of an introspective call being that the previous demons in this trilogy haven't been literal people who are sinister or losers, but emotions. So knowing that I would say that the 'therapy' in the opening lines is metaphorically hitting a bar or something where all the pent up frustration and demons inside the narrator can be released with less consequence. The narrator is just going to get drunk on life and 'let himself go.' The narrator goes on to state 'we're the retarded and the broken-hearted,' which makes me think that not only are the narrators demons making him feel stupid and broken, so are his actions. He wants to release his demons so he can feel happy and alive again. He is also likely including the other patrons of this metaphorical bar or party he is at because they're all there for the same reason. In an essence, he's including all middle-aged people suffering through a new phase of their life and they're all meeting at this metaphorical party. The next six lines I think further solidify the idea of a bar of miscreants coming together to chant an old Irish drinking song. They're all wasted rejects and they've been feeling down on themselves. However, no one here is getting out alive doesn't carry the same connotation it did back in Having a Blast. This time the sentiment deals more with the fact that everyone is going to die so if you want to do something you have to do it now instead of moping about being losers. The chorus for this opening part shows the narrator accepting his position and inviting the other losers to venture out and take risks with him rather than feeling sorry for themselves or moaning about getting too old.

The next four lines seem to laugh in the face of the idea that rebellion has an expiration date. It's the narrator saying, "Throw off your suits and ties and let's not worry about the consequences or how people might perceive us. We could sit around and wait for Judgement Day and death, but why do that. We'll read and care what people think about us when we're dead (essentially, we won't care ever).

The next section is about releasing these inner demons. The idea of being fucked up beyond intervention and not caring about the perceptions of the world. The narrator feels like a lost soul who has been trapped by his age like a cage so now he's going on a bender or more literally a spree through which he can release his demons. Next he calls on Julianna Homicide to brings his inner demons to life. After researching the name Julianna, I can see why Billie picked it. The name is associated with youthfulness, rebellion, and excitement at the prospect of change. He's calling on a young fresh voice to rescue him from the restrictions of old age. It's not literally a woman or a bride but an idea that being married to youthfulness will allow him to explore his demons and overcome them. The flashing red lights here seem to symbolize death. Dust to dust means total finality or the complete end of something so it's like he's speeding down the road of life and he knows when he comes to the red lights it's over, so he's going to keep speeding along, pushing through the yellows and greens as long as he can. I think the idea of asking what OK stands for is like searching for some religion or theology to practice. The narrator is saying that in the afterlife you'll find out, but there are so many different possibilities as with where the abbreviation came from, that it's pointless to argue over because the red lights may start flashing any second now.

The idea of California burning down just seems to reinforce the idea that the narrator is letting everything out. He's walking with Julianna through all the flames and smoke and it doesn't matter to them because this ground of expression is so holy.

Then the last section is just the repetition of We're Carried Away until it dies out. I think this is the part where the narrator recognizes that this bender he was on had actual ramifications for other people and accepts that while he doesn't have to grow old in spirit, he still needs to ensure that he isn't going around deliberately harming other people.

I really hope all those lyrics were deliberately throwbacks, otherwise Billie has a major recycling problem and vocabulary shortage crisis.

This time the sentiment deals more with the fact that everyone is going to die so if you want to do something you have to do it now instead of moping about being losers. The chorus for this opening part shows the narrator accepting his position and inviting the other losers to venture out and take risks with him rather than feeling sorry for themselves or moaning about getting too old.

The next four lines seem to laugh in the face of the idea that rebellion has an expiration date. It's the narrator saying, "Throw off your suits and ties and let's not worry about the consequences or how people might perceive us. We could sit around and wait for Judgement Day and death, but why do that. We'll read and care what people think about us when we're dead (essentially, we won't care ever).

The next section is about releasing these inner demons. The idea of being fucked up beyond intervention and not caring about the perceptions of the world. The narrator feels like a lost soul who has been trapped by his age like a cage so now he's going on a bender or more literally a spree through which he can release his demons. Next he calls on Julianna Homicide to brings his inner demons to life. After researching the name Julianna, I can see why Billie picked it. The name is associated with youthfulness, rebellion, and excitement at the prospect of change. He's calling on a young fresh voice to rescue him from the restrictions of old age. It's not literally a woman or a bride but an idea that being married to youthfulness will allow him to explore his demons and overcome them. The flashing red lights here seem to symbolize death. Dust to dust means total finality or the complete end of something so it's like he's speeding down the road of life and he knows when he comes to the red lights it's over, so he's going to keep speeding along, pushing through the yellows and greens as long as he can. I think the idea of asking what OK stands for is like searching for some religion or theology to practice. The narrator is saying that in the afterlife you'll find out, but there are so many different possibilities as with where the abbreviation came from, that it's pointless to argue over because the red lights may start flashing any second now.

The idea of California burning down just seems to reinforce the idea that the narrator is letting everything out. He's walking with Julianna through all the flames and smoke and it doesn't matter to them because this ground of expression is so holy.

Then the last section is just the repetition of We're Carried Away until it dies out. I think this is the part where the narrator recognizes that this bender he was on had actual ramifications for other people and accepts that while he doesn't have to grow old in spirit, he still needs to ensure that he isn't going around deliberately harming other people.

Bravo with this.

I have nothing to add other than the vibe I got from "Here's to all God's losers... the bottom feeders frenzy... here's to all bloodsuckers sing along with me"... that part is such a beautiful rallying cry for the meek, to celebrate their demons and to give them support, like you're not a lone, we're all a bunch of bottom-feeding bloodsucking losers and we've got to gather together and celebrate it if we want to accept ourselves and live our lives. It's literally about all the Idiots out there. It's gonna be epic to hear live, it'll be like the thousands of people there and the band are all united as "God's losers" :D
