Favourite Line from a Green Day Song

[Countrygirl]

My generation is zero.

I never made it as a working class hero

I was made of poison and blood.

Oh dream, American dream.

I can't leave and see from rainstorms 'til dawn.

Oh bleed, America bleed.

Believe what you read from heroes and cons.

When it's time to live and let die

And you can't get another try

Something inside this heart has died

You're in ruins

There's a disturbance on the Oceanside

They tapped into the reserve

The static response is so unclear now

Mayday this is not a test!

As the neighborhood burns,

American is falling

Vigilantes warning you

Calling Christian and Gloria

Part II: Modern World

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I'm the class of 13

In the era of dissent

A hostage of the soul

On a strike to pay the rent

The last of the rebels

Without a common ground

I'm gonna light a fire

Into the underground

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I am a nation

Without bureaucratic ties

Deny the allegation as it's written

I want to take a ride to the great divide

Beyond the "up to date"

And then neo-gentrified

The high definition for the low resident

Where the value of your mind

Is not held in contempt

I can hear the sound of

A beating heart

That bleeds beyond a system

That's falling apart

With money to burn

On a minimum wage

'Cause I don't give a shit

About the modern age

[04rebhop]

"You're not the Jesus of Suburbia

The St. Jimmy is a figment of

Your father's rage and your mother's love

Made me the Idiot America"

"Jimmy died today

He blew out his brains into the bay"

"Sitting in my room last night

Staring at the mirror

I couldn't find a reason why

I couldn't be near her"

[Hermione]

So many amazing lyrics in this album! These caught my ear

I drank the water from a hurricane

And I set a fire just to see the flame

Well it's enough to make you sick

To cast a stone and throw a brick

Silence is the enemy against your urgency

So rally up the demons of your soul

Well I don't give a shit about the modern age!

Well call the assassin, the orgasm

A spasm of love and hate ()

Desperate, but not hopeless

I feel so useless in the murder city

You are the moonlight of my life every night

I'm not fucking around

I think I'm coming out

I'm a hater, a traitor

In a pair of Chuck Taylors right now

The sirens of decay

Will infilitrate the faith fanatics

Little girl, little girl, why are you crying?

Inside your restless soul your heart is dying

[Guest jude88]

wake up the house is on fire, and the cat's gone in the dryer

[greendaytone]

"Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes!!"

[*Jade_Green_Day*]

"Wish In One Hand, Shit In the Other, and See Which One Gets Filled First!"

At least that's my favourite line at the moment.

[Anja]

From "See the light" I really like:

I set a fire just to see the flame!

Also: I crossed the desert, reaching higher ground.

Very inspirational.

[tq6993]

"Well call me the assassin, the orgasm, a spasm of love and hate" -Peacemaker

that line is amazing!

"She puts her make-up on like graffiti on the walls of the heartland"-Last Of The American Girls

and this one is equally amazing!

[HahaYourDead_x3]

"Dont test me"

[Whatsername712]

the regrets are useless in my mind-- whatsername

Oh bless me lord for I have sinned its been a lifetime since i last confessed- east jesus nowhere

why does my life have to be so small and death is forever---one of my lies

theres a drought at the fountain of youth, now im dehydrated---hitchin a ride

whats the consolation prize? economy sized dreams of hope---macys day parade

[MaryJaneJinx86]

"Am I retarded, or am I just overjoyed, nobody's perfect and I stand accused."

"Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me, it all keeps adding up, I think i'm cracking up."

"Dearly beloved, are you listening.. I can't remember a word that you were saying"

"So make the most of this test and don't ask why, it's not a question but a listen learned in time."

"I don't care if you don't care."

I concur.

[amy_runs]

I think they found another cure for broken hearts and feeling insecure.

[metalhead#87]

The neighbours a loaded gun.

[MaryJaneJinx86]

at the moment:

"well the world is a sick machine, breeding a mass of shit"

I LOVE THAT ONE!!!

[vegetarianxorgasm]

Man, at the moment, it's definetly:

I crossed the river, fell into the sea

Where the non-believers go beyond belief.

Gives me shivers.

[Rezurgam]

So many to choose from in 21CB but I'll limit to 5:

I'm not cursed cause I've been blessed

I'm not in love cause I'm a mess

If I lose everything in the fire

I'm sending all my love to you.

Say a prayer for the family

Drop a coin for humanity

So what ails you is what impales you

I feel like I've been crucified to be satisfied

All I want to do is

I want to breathe

Batteries are not included

[Bloody Mascara]

"well it's enough to make you sick, to cast a stone and throw a brick"

I love that line.

But I love every single lyric from Warning.

And most of nimrod.

Oh god I love it all.

[cazima]

my new favorite line....

"well death to the ones at the end of the ser...re.....naaaade!!!" in Peacemaker...i'm just in love with that song at the moment and the way Billie sings it

[Freeny]

"Christians lesson's what he's been sold;

We are normal and self-controlled"

"I'm not stoned

I'm just fucked up

I got so high I can't stand up

I'm not cursed 'cause I've been blessed

I'm not in love 'cause I'm a mess"

"Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone"

"There's a fire in my veins and it's pouring out like a flood"

"I wanna know who's allowed to breed

All the dogs who never learned to read"

"The world is a sick machine

Breeding a mass of shit"

... um, those are my favorites atm

[Harriet]

ooh at the moment it would be: "Remember to learn to forget"

and "Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?"

and the whole of JOS obviously

[Ally]

at the moment, i love "little girl, little girl you dirty liar" and "deny the allegation as its written...fucking lies" and "whisky shots and cheap cigarettes"

[Hermione]

at the moment, i love "little girl, little girl you dirty liar"...

Me too! I'm in love with that song today.

[Guest Brian]

My all time favourite Green Day lyric and nothing can top it.

"I used to pray all night before I lay myself down. My mother said it was right. Her mother said it too. Why?"

[Juliette]

All I want to do is

I want to breathe

Batteries are not included
