Nzap Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 "Don't want a nation under the new media" I heard "Don't want a nation to die the new media" Sorry to disappoint but it is actually "Don't want a nation under the new mania" Quote
Moyeszet Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 "The end in sink can never last" xD for a loooong time. Quote
DoodleBob Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Sorry to disappoint but it is actually "Don't want a nation under the new mania" Nope. It's definitely "Don't want a nation under the new media". Quote
Elena Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Nope. It's definitely "Don't want a nation under the new media". i thought that, too, but then i looked up the lyrics in the booklet of the album and it actually is "Don't want a nation under the new mania" Quote
DoodleBob Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 i thought that, too, but then i looked up the lyrics in the booklet of the album and it actually is "Don't want a nation under the new mania" Yeah, but booklets can have mistakes. Like, in the Danger Days booklet, they spell "capital", "capitol". It'd be an easy mistake to write "mania" instead of "media". I'm not saying that you're wrong, but listen closley to the studio version and the BIAB version. It sounds way more like "media" than "mania". But I guess I could be hearing it wrong... Quote

Tre's Lost Testicle Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I originally thought King For A Day was about watching your mother getting dressed.....but then i watched them play it live....I learned quickly what the meaning was Quote
Nzap Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Yeah, but booklets can have mistakes. Like, in the Danger Days booklet, they spell "capital", "capitol".

It sounds way more like "media" than "mania". But I guess I could be hearing it wrong... I hear Mania on the album version, but Media on the live albums so I assumed it's Mania, but maybe he has changed it after the release of the album and now sings Media. It's just another Green Day mystery Quote
Elena Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Yeah, but booklets can have mistakes. Like, in the Danger Days booklet, they spell "capital", "capitol".

It sounds way more like "media" than "mania". But I guess I could be hearing it wrong... yeah i know, but i actually don't think that it's a mistake this time ...but i agree: it sounds like "media"...and i thought it means "media" for the last years and just looked it up, cos everyone here wondered what's the right lyrics, and when i looked it up, there stood "mania"...and i mean, mania and media almost sound the same Even I am quite sure that its media. idk...i've heard that for years..and sang it and when i looked it up and it said mania i was quite shocked so maybe you're right I hear Mania on the album version, but Media on the live albums so I assumed it's Mania, but maybe he has changed it after the release of the album and now sings Media. It's just another Green Day mystery haha yeah maybe yep, a new GD mystery ...we maybe should put all lyrics mysteries together and if we ever get the chance to meet them, we could ask them (or the ppl who meet them could ask them...if we don't meet them xD) Quote
BJA TC MD Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I've always heard media... Still on the topic of American Idiot, I used to hear "demolish all dreams of tomorrow" instead of "television dreams of tomorrow". Quote
burnout409 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LALNRtuEqCo When American Idiot plays they hold up the cards with the lyrics, at 1:58ish mike's card for the line "Don't want a nation under the new Mania" says mania and i've always heard it as mania. hope that helps Quote

Jet Taman Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 It took me 3 years before I realized that in Boulevard of Broken Dreams he was saying "I walk alone, I walk alone" and not "I wear cologne, I wear cologne". Listen to it. Quote
BJA TC MD Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 It took me 3 years before I realized that in Boulevard of Broken Dreams he was saying "I walk alone, I walk alone" and not "I wear cologne, I wear cologne". Listen to it. At this place, Questacon, in Canberra, Aus, there's this thing with misheard song lyrics on it. Thats one of them. Quote
DoodleBob Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 It took me 3 years before I realized that in Boulevard of Broken Dreams he was saying "I walk alone, I walk alone" and not "I wear cologne, I wear cologne". Listen to it. I never heard that until now. I think I know how I'm going to be singing it for now on. Quote
Hermione Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 It sounds like "I wore cologne" not "I wear cologne" surely? That's an all time classic up there with "broken gnomes" Quote
kristóf Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpsZibShJZo From 3:02 i always hear something like... "Then Istanbul why" or something like that. Quote
Sweet Armataged Chump Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 It sounds like Billie says "Give me your underwear" in Hybrid moments. Quote
Elena Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 It sounds like Billie says "Give me your underwear" in Hybrid moments. yeah i've actually heard that too !! Quote
A Killjoy from Detroit Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 In minority, my cousin and i always thought "Down with the moral majority" was "down with the bore of maturity" and we tagged those lyrics on the back wall of the grocery store Quote
Moyeszet Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 In christian inferno, I thought it was "melt away" instead of "man to ape" ._. and "Desperado of the night" instead of "This Berretta" in Peacemaker. I KNOW. 1 Quote

Ratchet Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 21st Century Breakdown I thought Billie Joe sang, "old man's security" not, "homeland security" Quote
whitechristmas Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 I heard "give me your woman" in Hybrid Moments. Quote
