American Idiot - American Idiot (2004)
Written by Billie Joe Armstrong
Green Day Cellar

Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
Can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be ok
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia

Dont wanna be an American Idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's going out to idiot America.

Holiday - American Idiot (2004)
Written by Billie Joe Armstrong
Green Day Cellar

Here the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame
The shame
The ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs holwing out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery"
And bleed the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On Holiday

Hear the drum 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 a score of men
A gag
A plastic bag on a monument

The representative of California has the floor
Zieg Heil to the President gas man
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass
Kill all the fags that dont agree
Trials by fire setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me

Boulevard of Broken Dreams - American Idiot (2004)
Written by Billie Joe Armstrong
Green Day Cellar

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone, I walk alone, I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing thats beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline of the edge
And where I walk alone

Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone, I walk alone, I walk alone

Wake Me Up When September Ends - American Idiot (2004)
Written by Billie Joe Armstrong
Green Day Cellar

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
