Least Favorite Line From a Green Day Song

[saraHsunshine]

Ok this is not so much a issue with lyrics but more with the way I think haha.

I think I heard this line wrong the first time I listened to Last of the American Girls

"she's got her little book of conspiracies right in her hand"

It drives me insane because for some reason I always think

"she's got her little book of conspracies in her right hand"

It's just a bunch of niggers throwing gas into the hysteria

This is a very Bob Dylan thing. Sorry but I love Bob Dylan. This makes a lot of people uncomfortable for a lot of reasons but I think that since this is a comment on how wrong racism is, it is a ok in my book.

[♥Christian and Gloria♥]

I like Last Night on Earth and all. But the lyrics are way too simple like 'If you dare to second guess you can rest' that is just way to simple. the rhyme to annoying too. But it's a sweet song.

I'm not alone! It doesn't bug me, but my mind will always switch up the two.

Haaaha ok well I feel better to know that I am not the only one...my sister looked at me and was like "seriously?! you're crazy to even think of that."

To me, sometimes the simplest lyrics and songs can be the most beautiful/moving ones.

And I haven't found a Green Day lyric that I dislike yet I don't think. But I absolutely can't stand the Foxies' lyric "Marie, I'm crucified. Drink my blood coming from my eyes"

I have a big eye phobia thing so that line to me is just disgusting and gives me the willies!

[novacaine_kid]

"Like a dog thats been sodomized" is a bit far out. But it gets overlooked because of how great the song is as a whole.

[Isabel]

The line "The clock is laughing in my face" from Brain Stew reminds me of that painting of droopy melting clocks... I don't like that painting, it's scary.

You mean The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali? Yeah me too, I absolutely hate surrealism.

[gusgd]

"Red eye, code blue

I'd like to strangle you

And watch your eyes bulge right out of your skull

When you go down

Head first into the ground

I'll stand above you just to piss on your grave "

I just don't like it. It creeps my out.

haha just a bit

I am not a huge fan of surealism BUT Dali has a fuckin' sweet rendition of The Last Supper - cheak it out...it took me a few looks before I realized Jesus is pointing his hand at his head like a gun for the disciples to see.

I guess I've never really though about it before.

the only one that i can think of off the top of my head is

in american eulogy when billie says the "n word"

I really don't mind it, it just makes me uncomfortable for some reason.

[The Daughter of Rage and Love]

"...like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone"

I have never really liked that line.

[Mar]

"...like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone"

I have never really liked that line.

Oh, I don't either, I forgot about that one. On one hand, it makes sense, and the on the other, it's kind of far-fetched.

[Mrs. Nobody]

Has to be said, after reading all these lyrics that have been analyzed, whoever says they've got simple/shit lyrics deserves to burn in hell

With all due respect of course

[The Disappearing Boy]

"...like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone"

I have never really liked that line.

yeah, thats not wonderful. 'from a storm' sounds so much better.

Amen.

Their lyrics are far from simple and actually make people think. Unless you're lazy and can't appreciate good music.

[Princess Consuela]

Agree. I always want to sing 'storm' instead of 'stone'

Shit lyrics, hell no. Simple, depends what song.

And simple doesn't always mean bad either.

I always thought I was the only one.

Very true. Poprocks and Coke is a good example IMO.

I am glad you said this, I was just about to be like..."uh...Poprocks & Coke anyone?!"

about the 21 Guns line with "stone" in it, for some reason I always picture someone being stoned there...like not high but ya know, old school death penalty with people throwning rocks....which I must admit, is just one of the weird places my mind takes me...

EDIT: AH! It double posted! I had to fix it!

[HoneyDo666]

But "from a stone" makes sense. He's looking for forgiveness in vain from something that won't forgive him.

[Princess Consuela]

Of course not! I think it's much more difficult to make simple lyrics beautiful or meaningful than to write something that is hardly understandable and seemingly more 'deep'. Actually it can refer to many other things, not just lyrics.

That's what's awesome (:

That's exactly the same I was gonna say...

And come on guys... that line it's beautiful, I cried when I listened it

Sorry for my bad english jaja

TADA! You get a gold star sticker!!!

"...like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone"

I have never really liked that line.

I didn't like it when I realised Billie said 'stone' instead of 'star' that I first thought it was, but I'm over that now and I really like it.

Hmmm, lemme think... What don't I like?

Probably 'whisper "Are you dying?" in my ear' from Rotting because I think of it as 'whisper "are you dying in my ear?"' and I don't like the thought of someone dying in someone's ear
