Favorite Green Day Quote/lyric

[HelenGD]

It says: home is where your heart is,

But what a shame,

'Cause everyone's heart,

Doesn't beat the same. :wink:

It didn't say much,

But it only confirmed that,

The center of the earth,

Is the end of the world.

Also, I ADORE the song "Holiday" so my favorite lyrics are

pounding out of time,

Another protester has crossed the line,

To find the money's on the other side,

Can I get another Amen?

There's a flag wrapped around the score of men,

A gag,

A plastic bag on a monument

Trials by fire setting fire,

Is not a way that's meant for me,

Just cause,

Just cause because we're outlaws, yeah!

[Countrygirl]

Mike Dirnt

1"Don't smoke the brown weed! Grow greenbud goddamnit!"

2"Dogs are gonna take over the world. It's a known fact for those who believe it, kinda like the Bible."

3"Don't blame me for the explosion of punk rock. I didn't know our music was going to get that big."

4"We write music for ourselves and if other people like it, that's great."

5"If my kid didn't rebel, she wouldn't be my kid."

6"I'll remember 1994 as the year that...ate shit."

7"Happiness is a roadtrip, not a destination."

8"Putting that song on our record was probably the most punk thing we could do."

9"Green Day is like sex: when we're good, we're really good; and when we're bad... we're still pretty damn good."

10"Then all of a sudden we got introduced to punk music and it was the coolest fucking thing!"

11"I have a daughter and she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. She gives me a good excuse to watch cartoons."

12"All my religious beliefs are based on Star Wars."

13"There are weeks when I'll spank a lot, and other weeks I'll be apathetic and lonely and won't want to look at my cock."

14"I don't really listen to it...I'm agnostic."

15"Now are any of these vegetables magic? I mean if I rub that bean on my foot will I run faster?"

16"I'm gonna be cremated. I don't want to be stuck in any box. Maybe they'll bury me upside down and plant a seed in my ass."

17"I have a Rolex collection and a diamond collection. I'd like to find the biggest goddam diamond I could find, eat it and pick it out of my shit the next day."

18"I'm down with J.C. He's cool. Whatever."

19"They always say 'ain't that a bitch'. Thats why the call them the obitchuaries."

20"How many punk rockers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Tré: how many?

Uh... um... um let me think... two! One to screw in the light bulb and one to suck my dick."

21"It's no use analyzing your life the whole time. Those analyses won’t help you when you’re dead."

22"Stop throwing shit or I'll jump in there and beat your ass."

23"Seriously, at first I was happy for them, but now I find it a little irritating. I think they trivialize what we do, and punk rock in general. It's like throwing shit in the face of something or someone that had substance at one point. Didn't one of the members marry someone from MTV? I mean, what the fuck? But if any band should be pissed off at them then isn't NOFX."

Speaking of Blink-182

24"Grab life by the balls and squeeze."

25"We're kinda like a park bench now. Everyone's got their ass on our heads."

26"I told Billie, 'Let's just take it as far as we can. Eventually we'll lose all the money and everything else, anyway. Let's just make sure we have one great big story at the end...I think we will...in a lot of ways we already do."

27"Happiness is a road traveled, not a destination."

28"Showers are overrated."

29"You're just mad cause you're in the rain. Well fuck you... I hope it rains so much you all get stuck!"

30"We work super hard to not have to work "

31"Well, we drink, we play a show for half an hour a day, ahm…then we drink some more, barbeque small children…"

32"We were looking for lunch money when we put dookie out "

33"You better watch out, he'll beat the livin' shit outta you."

34"East coast rap sounds better in the club, west coast rap sounds better in a car."

35"This isn't a fucking baseball game! What the hell?"

Tre Cool

1Everyone is entitled to our opinion.

2I always said the world is a better place because of Joey Ramone.

3I am no longer married, so ladies... there you go.

4I caught on fire twice on the stage, but I was promptly put out. It was just my leg.

5I have a homosexual crush on most adolescents.

6I like Fisher Price music, nursery rhymes, and the alphabet song.

7I never completed high school and I am very rich and very successful.

8I wanna survive an avalanche. I wanna be one of those people a dog finds buried under a ton of snow, almost dying of starvation.

9I wish people would turn off their computers, go outside, talk to people, touch people, lick people, enjoy each other's company and smell each other on the rump.

10I'm not exactly sure how many kids I have, but yes, I do miss them officially, for the record. In case any of them are listening, I love you.

11I'm the greatest rock and roll drummer on the planet and you suck.

12It was time to raise the bar higher, or lower if you're doing limbo.

13It's not how you pick your nose, it's where you put that booger that counts.

14School is practice for the future, and practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect so why bother.

15Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

16The album was very agressive. It kicks you right in the balls.

17The one thing about Billie is he will snap and rip your head off if you point anything out at all other than how beautiful he is and how nice he looks today.

18We have a thin candy shell, I'm surprised you didn't know that.

19We're charging what we're worth and we don't think we're worth $22.50. We take a lower cut than Pearl Jam.

20You gotta stick your neck out and put out a record that isn't safe... that's the Green Day way!

Billie Joe

1"People are here to have a good time, when it gets down to it.”

2“Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a life-style. There are a lot of bands around who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a life-style I chose for myself.”

3“School is practice for future life, practice makes perfect and nobodys perfect, so why practice?”

4“Rock 'n' roll can be dangerous and fun at the same time, so thanks a lot.”

5“A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'. So I kick over a garbage can and say 'That's punk!'. So he kicks over a garbage can and says 'That's Punk?', and I say 'No that's trendy!”

6 “We've been a band for 16 years. This is what you dream about.”

7 “I'm an idiot anyway, but sometimes you feel like an idiot times ten when you're stoned.”

8“Just seeing the things on TV and the things in front of you, the amount of information coming in, and the lack of information not coming in, how could you not help but write songs about it.”

9“Time passes by like lightning. Before you know it you're struck down.”

[Esmeralda]

i went to a shrink to analyze my dreams she said is lack of sex that's bringing me down, i went to a whore, she said my life i bore

check my vital signs to know i'm still alive and i walk alone

When masturbations lost its fun you're fucking breaking

i don't care if you don't

i'm the patron saint of the denial

cigarretes and ramen and a little bag of dope, i'm the son of a bitch and edgard alan poe

Don't want to be an American idiot,one nation controlled by the media Information age of hysteria It's going out to idiot America

Drain the pressure from the swelling The sensation's overwhelming Give me a long kiss goodnight And everything will be alright Tell me, Jimmy, I won't feel a thing So give me novacaine

[Break of Day]

[Ila Reto]

"future just ain't what it used to be"

"where do we go from here and what did you do with the directions? promise me no dead-end streets, and i'll guarentee we'll have the road"

"Like Chewing on tinfoil it's so much fun, gotta be dead before you're gone"

"on the information highway"

"i drove a wedge between the day and night, my fear is casting a shadow. this guilt trip's driving down the streets tonight, my spirit takes me through this avenue".

"sects of disconnection and traditions of lost faith".

[badwolf]

i only like one line and thats from Minority:

" One light one mind flashin' in the dark, blinded by the silence of a thousand broken heartz, for cryin' out loud! she screamed unto me, a free for all fuck 'em all you are your own sight " its so romantic!!! sorta

[Guest TwoDollarMellie]

I may have posted here before, but oh well.

"You better swallow your pride, you might choke on it. You better digest your values, cause they turn to shit."

"Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself, and where are we all going when it's too late?"

"I'm the son of Rage & Love, the Jesus of Suburbia, from the Bible of none of the above."

"Open the past and present, now, and we are here."

"Don't let the door kick you in the ass."

"I'm on a roll, no self control, I'm blowing off steam with Methamphetamine."

"I'm taking all you down with me, explosives duct taped to my spine, nothing's gonna change my mind."

[ScreamsInSilence815]

Quote-

"I want to wash your grandmother." -Tre

Enough said.

[Mrs. Nobody]

Nobody likes you, everyone left you ..etc

I don't care if you don't

First time i heard those.. i can't really explain, it just felt like it concerned me. or i could have said that. dunno. weird

[Hermione]

That would be "Lonely" hah.

Ahh yes, but in the booklet it says "breaking". So at one point in the song's development, it was breaking . Great line either way.

like the holy spriptures in a shopping mall,

and so it seemed to confess,

it didn't say much but it only confirmed

that the center of the earth is the end of the world.

and i could really care less."

and who could forget....

"My daddy threw me in therapy!

he thinks I'm not a real man!
