murderotica Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 great song, catchy chorus, love the guitar parts in this one.
Milo Goes To Pasalacqua Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 It sound like the odd-song-out on the album. It was so strange to me, the first time i heard it on the album, it fits in perfect but at the same time sounds as if it doesn't belong on it.
madswester Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 This one is my favourite... this or viva la gloria!
tapdancingowl Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I love the Static Age. It's a great song and it's good to get angry to, especially this verse:"All I want to knowIs a God-damned thingNot what's in the medicineAll I want to do isI want to breatheBatteries are not includedWhat's the latest way that a man can dieScreaming hallelujah?"
themole Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Soooo under rated.I find myself wanting to scream "ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS A GOD DAMN THING" a lot randomly at parties or in public...
OliDayyy Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Not my fav, but I like it. It's just that I'm madly in love with the Act II, so after that...
Bastard of 1967 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 forget_me_not said: I like the message that comes with this one. Not to mention it's pretty catchy song with great sounding chorus. All I want to knowIs a God-damned thingNot what's in the medicineAll I want to do isI want to breatheBatteries are not includedWhat's the latest way that a man can dieScreaming hallelujah?Singing out "The dawn's early light"The silence of the rotten, forgottenScreaming at you.It kind of makes me emotional in a way that no other song does. I can't really explain it The Static Age starts off without the trademark Green Day "listenable edginess" to it (in favor of just simply "listenable pop", but then slowly builds, changes to a higher key after the instrumental bridge, and then nails you with that part. "What's the latest way that a man can die/screaming hallelujah?" is just *so* key to the album's laying waste to religious bullshit...and if that's not enough, then they hammer it home with the next three lines: "Singing out 'the dawn's early light'/The silence of the rotten, forgotten/Screaming at you". For me, this ties in the religious fanaticist (fascist?) -critical themes in the album with contemporary politics, blending the church ("hallelujah") and the state ("The dawn's early light") and showing the death and destruction that this combination has brought to the world: "The silence of the rotten, forgotten" -- all the dead soldiers -- screaming at you from the grave. It also makes 21 Guns the perfect song to follow it.What a record!
Agija Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I fell in love with this song as I first heard it. It's amazing. I love the music, the lyrics, everything. I must agree with everyone whose favorite part is:"All I want to knowIs a God-damned thingNot what's in the medicineAll I want to do isI want to breatheBatteries are not included"
Trotsky Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 This song has single potential. Think about it like thisKYE = American Idiot21 Guns = Blvd.Static = Holiday
OliDayyy Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I disagree! East Jesus Nowhere makes me think of Holiday, not Static Age.

Alex. Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 all the lyrics in this song kick ass, its my favourite song off the album.
DeJennsitized Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I really like this song, for some reason it sounds like something off Warning.Love the key change, and the line, "all I wanna do is I want to breathe" And this sounds really wierd, but in the chorus when he sings, "in stereoooin the static age", like you expect him to take a breath after stereo, but instead he does a little vibrato...I love that bit.
NowhereBound Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I love Billie's voice in the chorus. For example I love how he sings all the O's, like videO, radiO, and stereO. I just love it.
PNM Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 ^ yeah i agree, EJN is more like holiday than static age.anw, when i first listened to it i hated it. now i love it. it has a very good potential but not that of KYE (good for a first single= AI) or 21 guns or EJN or even any of the glorias... it just has the potential of... let's just say becoming a classic green day song.
elisa Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 when i first listened to the whole album, this song got immediately stuck in my head, even if it wasn't one of my faves.I heart this song now, one of the best ones.'all i want to is i want to breathe' this line is amazing.

Nova-Caine Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 ^^ My favourite lyric and favourite song from the album. I am currently having my first tattoo designed for me around the lyric 'All I want to do is, I want to breathe'. I've had a horrid relationship break up recently and have to start my life again as a single person. That lyric is talking to me, telling me to take time to find myself and breathe, not to be in a rush, to live my life for me.All I want to do is, I want to breathe....
Green Day 13 Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 i like this song. my dad has an ipod dock at his office and he listens to it a lot! i think its kind of funny that hes a financial advisor and works in an office and works in a suit but listens to GD while doing it! here something you wont here many teens say......thats one cool dad!
sampy Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 oh this is my favorite song of the album! soooo great and catchy tune =)
