[Verse] Sing us a song of the century That's louder than bombs and eternity The era of static and contraband That's leading us into the promised land Tell us a story that's by candlelight Waging a war and losin' the fight They're playing a song of the century Panic and promise and prosperity Tell me a story into that goodnight Sing us a song for me

[Part I]

[Verse 1] Born into Nixon, I was raised in Hell A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled The last one born and the first one to run My town was blind from refinery sun

[Pre-Chorus] My generation is zero I never made it as a working-class hero

[Chorus] 21st century breakdown I once was lost, but never was found I think I'm losin' what's left of my mind To the 20th century deadline

[Verse 2] I was made of poison and blood Condemnation is what I understood Video games to the tower's fall Homeland Security could kill us all

[Pre-Chorus] My generation is zero I never made it as a working-class hero See Green Day Live Get tickets as low as $30

[Chorus] 21st century breakdown I once was lost, but never was found I think I'm losin' what's left of my mind To the 20th century deadline

[Part II]

[Intro] We are the class of, the class of '13 Born in the era of humility We are the desperate in the decline Raised by the bastards of 1969

[Verse 3] My name is No One, the long lost son Born on the 4th of July Raised in the era of heroes and cons That left me for dead or alive I am a nation, a worker of pride (Pride) My debt to the status quo The scars on my hands and a means to an end It's all that I have to show

[Interlude] Hey Hey Hey

[Verse 4] I swallowed my pride and I choked on my faith I've given my heart and my soul I've broken my fingers and lied through my teeth The pillar of damage control I've been to the edge and I've thrown the bouquet (Hey) Of flowers left over the grave I sat in the waiting room wasting my time And waiting for Judgment Day

[Bridge] I praise liberty The freedom to obey Is the song that strangles me Well, don't cross the line

[Part III]

[Outro] Oh, dream, America, dream I can't even sleep from the light's early dawn Oh, scream, America, scream Believe what you see from heroes and cons

[Chorus] Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy? Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy? Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy? Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh

[Verse] Well, violence is an energy against the enemy Well, violence is an energy, rah-eh Bringin' on the fury, the choir infantry Revolt against the honor to obey (Oh-eh-oh-eh) Overthrow the effigy, the vast majority Well, burnin' down the foreman of control (Oh-eh-oh-eh) Silence is an enemy against your urgency So rally up the demons of your soul (Oh-eh-oh-eh)

[Chorus] Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy? Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy? Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh

[Intro] Hey, Gloria, are you standing close to the edge? Look out to the setting sun, the brink of your vision Eternal youth is a landscape of a lie The cracks of my skin can prove, as the years will testify Say your prayers and light a fire, we're gonna start a war Your slogan's a gun for hire, it's what we waited for Hey, Gloria, this is why we're on the edge The fight of our lives' been drawn, this undying love

[Chorus] Gloria, viva la Gloria You blast your name in graffiti on the walls Fallin' in broken glass that's slashing through your spirit I can hear it like a jilted crowd Gloria, where are you, Gloria? You found a home in all your scars and ammunition You made your bed in salad days amongst the ruins Ashes to ashes of our youth

[Bridge] She smashed her knuckles into winter (Gloria) As autumn's wind fades into black She is the saint of all the sinners (Gloria) The one that's fallen through the cracks So don't put away your burnin' light

[Chorus] Gloria, where are you, Gloria? Don't lose your faith to your lost naiveté Weather the storm and don't look back on last November When your banners were burnin' down Gloria, viva la Gloria Send me your amnesty down to the broken-hearted Bring us the season that we always will remember Don't let the bonfires go out

[Outro] So Gloria, send out your message of The light that shadows in the night Gloria, where's your undying love? Tell me the story of your life Your life

Dreaming, I was only dreaming Of another place and time, where my family's from Singing, I can hear them singing When the rain had washed away all these scattered dreams Dying, everyone's reminded Hearts are washed in misery, drenched in gasoline Laughter, there is no more laughter Songs of yesterday now live in the underground

(Ooh, ooh-ooh) Life before the lobotomy Christian sang the eulogy Signed, "My love," a lost memory From the end of the century

Well, it's enough to make you sick To cast a stone and throw a brick But when the sky is falling down You burned your dreams into the ground

Christian's lesson's what he's been sold (Hey!) We are normal and self-controlled (Hey!) Remember to learn to forget (Hey!) Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes

Well, I'm not stoned, I'm just fucked up I got so high I can't stand up Well, I'm not cursed 'cause I've been blessed I'm not in love, 'cause I'm a mess

Like refugees (Ooh) We're lost like refugees (Ooh) Like refugees (Ooh) We're lost like refugees (Ooh) The brutality of reality Is the freedom that keeps me from

Dreaming, I was only dreaming Of another place and time, where my family's from Singing, I can hear them singing When the rain had washed away all these scattered dreams Dying, everyone's reminded Hearts are washed in misery, drenched in gasoline Laughter, there is no more laughter Songs of yesterday now live in the underground

I got under the grip between this modern hell I got the rejection letter in the mail and it was already ripped to shreds Seasons in ruin and this bitter pill is chased in blood There's fire in my veins and it's pouring out like a flood

Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

This diabolic state is gracing my existence Like a catastrophic baby, baby, maybe you're the chemical reaction I am the atom bomb, I am your chosen one Toxin your reservoir and then return man to ape

Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno

I text a postcard sent to you Did it go through? Sending all my love to you You are the moonlight of my life Every night Giving all my love to you

My beating heart belongs to you I walked for miles 'til I found you I'm here to honor you If I lose everything in the fire I'm sending all my love to you

With every breath that I am worth Here on Earth I'm sending all my love to you So if you dare to second-guess You can rest Assured that all my love's for you

My beating heart belongs to you I walked for miles 'til I found you I'm here to honor you If I lose everything in the fire I'm sending all my love to you

My beating heart belongs to you I walked for miles 'til I found you I'm here to honor you If I lose everything in the fire Did I ever make it through?

Raise your hands now to testify Your confession will be crucified You're a sacrificial suicide Like a dog that's been sodomized, well (Stand up!) All the white boys (Sit down!) And the black girls (Stand up!) You're the soldiers (Sit down!) Of the new world

Put your faith in a miracle And it's non-denominational Join the choir, we'll be singing In the church of wishful thinking

A fire burns today Of blasphemy and genocide The sirens of decay Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Oh, bless me, Lord, for I have sinned It's been a lifetime since I last confessed I threw my crutches in "the river of a shadow of doubt" And I'll be dressed up in my Sunday best

Say a prayer for the family Drop a coin for humanity Ain't this uniform so flattering? I never asked you a goddamn thing!

A fire burns today Of blasphemy and genocide The sirens of decay Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Don't test me Second-guess me Protest me You will disappear

I want to know who's allowed to breed All the dogs who never learned to read The missionary politicians And the cops of the new religion!

A fire burns today Of blasphemy and genocide The sirens of decay Will infiltrate the inside

Yeah!

One, two, three, four!

Well, I've got a fever, a non-believer, I'm in a state of grace For I am the Caesar, I'm gonna seize the day (Ay, ay-ay) Well, call of the banshee, hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey As God as my witness, the infidels are gonna pay Well, call the assassin, the orgasm, a spasm of love and hate For what will divide us? The righteous and the meek (Ay, ay-ay) Well, call of the wild, hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey Well, death to the girl at the end of the serenade

Vendetta, sweet vendetta This Beretta of the night This fire and the desire Well, shots ringing out on the holy parasite

Vendetta, sweet vendetta This Beretta of the night This fire and the desire Well, shots ringing out on the holy parasite

She puts her makeup on like graffiti on the walls of the heartland She's got her little book of conspiracies right in her hand She is paranoid, endangered species headed into extinction She is one of a kind, well she's the last of the American girls

She wears her overcoat for the coming of the nuclear winter She is riding her bike like the fugitive of Critical Mass She's on a hunger strike for the ones who won't make it for dinner She makes enough to survive for a holiday of working class

She's a runaway of the establishment incorporated She won't cooperate, well she's the last of the American girls

She plays her vinyl records, singing songs on the eve of destruction She's a sucker for all the criminals breaking the laws She will come in first for the end of western civilization She's an endless war, she's a hero for the lost cause

Like a hurricane in the heart of the devastation She's a natural disaster, she's the last of the American girls

She puts her makeup on like graffiti on the walls of the heartland She's got her little book of conspiracies right in her hand She will come in first for the end of western civilization She's a natural disaster, she's the last of the American girls

Aw, yeah Alright Aw, yeah

Desperate but not hopeless I feel so useless in the murder city Desperate but not helpless The clock strikes midnight in the murder city

I'm wide awake after the riots This demonstration of our anguish This empty laughter has no reason Like a bottle of your favourite poison We are the last call and we're so pathetic

Desperate but not hopeless I feel so useless in the murder city Desperate but not helpless The clock strikes midnight in the murder city

Christian's crying in the bathroom And I just want to bum a cigarette We've come so far, we've been so wasted It's written all over our faces We are the last call and we're so pathetic

Desperate but not hopeless I feel so useless in the murder city Desperate but not helpless The clock strikes midnight in the murder city

Desperate but not hopeless I feel so useless in the murder city Desperate but not helpless The clock strikes midnight in the...

Little girl, little girl, why are you cryin'? Inside your restless soul, your heart is dyin' Little one, little one, your soul is purgin' Of love and razor blades, your blood is surgin'

Run away from the river to the street And find yourself with your face in the gutter You're a stray for the Salvation Army There is no place like home when you got no place to go

Little girl, little girl, your life is callin' The charlatans and saints of your abandon Little one, little one, the sky is fallin' Your lifeboat of deception is now sailin' In the wake (All the way!) All the way, no rhyme or reason Your bloodshot eyes will show your heart of treason Little girl, little girl, you dirty liar You're just a junkie preaching to the choir

Run away from the river to the street And find yourself with your face in the gutter You're a stray for the Salvation Army There is no place like home when you got no place to go

The traces of blood always follow you home Like the mascara tears from your getaway (Gloria!) You're walking with blisters and running with shears So unholy, sister of grace

Run away from the river to the street And find yourself with your face in the gutter You're a stray from the Salvation Army There is no place like home

I've got a really bad disease It's got me begging on my hands and knees So, take me to emergency 'Cause something seems to be missing Somebody, take the pain away It's like an ulcer bleeding in my brain So send me to the pharmacy so I can lose my memory

I'm elated, medicated Lord knows I tried to find a way to run away

I think they found another cure For broken hearts and feeling insecure You'd be surprised what I endure What makes you feel so self-assured?

I need to find a place to hide You never know what could be waiting outside The accidents that you could find It's like some kind of suicide

So what ails you, is what impales you I feel like I've been crucified to be satisfied

I'm a victim of my symptom I am my own worst enemy You're a victim of your symptom You are your own worst enemy Know your enemy

I'm elated, medicated I am my own worst enemy So what ails you is what impales you You are your own worst enemy You're a victim of the system You are your own worst enemy You're a victim of the system You are your own worst enemy

One, two, three, four!

I'm not fucking around I think I'm coming out All the deceivers and cheaters I think we've got a bleeder right now Want you to slap me around? Want you to knock me out? Well, you missed me, kissed me Now you better kick me down

Maybe you're the runner-up But the first one to lose the race Almost only really counts in Horseshoes and handgrenades

I'm gonna burn it all down I'm gonna rip it out Well, everything you employ Was meant for me to destroy To the ground now So don't you fuck me around Because I'll shoot you down I'm gonna drink, fight and fuck And I'm pushing my luck All the time now

Maybe you're the runner-up But the first one to lose the race Almost only really counts in Horseshoes and handgrenades

Demolition, self-destruction Want to annihilate this age-old contradiction

Demolition, self-destruction Want to annihilate this age-old contradiction Demolition, self-destruction Want to annihilate this old age

I'm not fucking around I think I'm coming out Well, I'm a hater, a traitor In a pair of Chuck Taylors right now I'm not fucking around

G-L-O-R-I-A! G-L-O-R-I-A! G-L-O-R-I-A! G-L-O-R-I-A!

Can you hear the sound of the static noise blasting out in stereo? Cater to the class and the paranoid music to my nervous system Advertising love and religion, murder on the airwaves Slogans on the brink of corruption

Visions of blasphemy, war and peace Oh, screaming at you

I can't see a thing in the video I can't hear a sound on the radio In stereo in the static age

Billboard on the rise in the dawn's landscape, working your insanity Tragic á la madness and concrete Coca-Cola execution Conscience on a cross and your heart's in a vice Squeezing out your state of mind Are what you own that you cannot buy

What a fucking tragedy, strategy Oh, screaming at you

I can't see a thing in the video I can't hear a sound on the radio In stereo in the static age

I can't see a thing in the video I can't hear a sound on the radio In stereo in the static age

Hey, hey, it's the static age Well, this is how the west was won Hey, hey, it's the static age millennium

All I want to know is a god damned thing Not what's in the medicine All I want to do is I want to breathe Batteries are not included

What's the latest way that a man can die? Screaming "Hallelujah" (Hallelujah) Singing out "the dawn's early light" The silence of the rotten, forgotten Oh, screaming at you

I can't see a thing in the video I can't hear a sound on the radio In stereo in the static age

I can't see a thing in the video I can't hear a sound on the radio In stereo in the static age

I can't see a thing in the video I can't hear a sound on the radio In stereo in the static age

I can't see a thing in the video I can't hear a sound on the radio In stereo in the static age

The static age

Do you know what's worth fighting for When it's not worth dying for? Does it take your breath away And you feel yourself suffocating Does the pain weigh out the pride? And you look for a place to hide Did someone break your heart inside You're in ruins

One, 21 Guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 Guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I

When you're at the end of the road And you lost all sense of control And your thoughts have taken their toll When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul Your faith walks on broken glass And the hangover doesn't pass Nothing's ever built to last You're in ruins

One, 21 Guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 Guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I

Did you try to live on your own When you burned down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?

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

One, 21 Guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 Guns Throw up your arms into the sky One, 21 Guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 Guns Throw up your arms into the sky

You and I

[Part 1: American Eulogy]

Sing us the song of the century It sings like American eulogy The dawn of my love and conspiracy Of forgotten hope and the class of '13 Tell me a story into that goodnight Sing us a song for me

[Part 2: Mass Hysteria]

Hysteria Mass hysteria Mass hysteria Mass hysteria

Red alert is the color of panic Elevated to the point of static Beating into the hearts of the fanatics And the neighborhood's a loaded gun Idle thought leads to full-throttle screaming And the wealth is asphyxiating Mass confusion is all the new rage And it's creating a feeding ground for the bottom feeders of

Hysteria Mass hysteria Mass hysteria Mass hysteria

True sounds of maniacal laughter And the deaf mute's misleading the choir The punchline is a natural disaster And it's sung by the unemployed Fight fire with a riot The class war is hanging on a wire Because the martyr is a compulsive liar When he said, "It's just a bunch of niggers throwing gas into the..."

Hysteria Mass hysteria Mass hysteria Mass hysteria

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 America is falling Vigilantes warning ya Calling Christian and Gloria!

[Part 3: Modern World]

I don't wanna live in the modern world I don't wanna live in the modern world I don't wanna live in the modern world I don't wanna live in the modern world

Well, 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, well

I don't wanna live in the modern world I don't wanna live in the modern world I don't wanna live in the modern world I don't wanna live in the modern world

I am a nation without bureaucratic ties Deny the allegation as it's written, fucking lies

Well, I wanna take a ride to the great divide Beyond the "up to date" and the 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 is falling apart With money to burn on a minimum wage Well, I don't give a shit about the modern age

I don't wanna live in the modern world I don't wanna live in the modern world I don't wanna live in the modern world I don't wanna live in the modern world

(Mass hysteria) I don't wanna live in the modern world (Mass hysteria) I don't wanna live in the modern world (Mass hysteria) I don't wanna live in the modern world (Mass hysteria) I don't wanna live in the modern world (Mass hysteria) I don't wanna live in the modern world (Mass hysteria) I don't wanna live in the modern world (Mass hysteria) I don't wanna live in the modern world (Mass hysteria) I don't wanna live in the modern world (Mass hysteria) I don't wanna live in the modern world (Mass hysteria...) I don't wanna live in the modern world

Well I crossed the river Fell into the sea Where the non-believers go beyond belief Then I scratched the surface In the mouth of hell Running out of service in the blood I fell

Well I, I just want to see the light And I, I don't want to lose my sight Well I, I just want to see the light And I need to know what's worth the fight

Well I've been wasted Pills and alcohol And I've been chasing Down the pool halls Then I drank the water from a hurricane And I set a fire just to see the flame

Well I, I just want to see the light And I, I don't want to lose my sight Well I, I just want to see the light And I need to know what's worth the fight

Well I crossed the desert Reaching higher ground Then I pound the pavement to take the liars down But it's gone forever, but never too late Where the ever after is in the hands of fate

Well I, I just want to see the light And I, I don't want to lose my sight Well I, I just want to see the light And I need to know what's worth the fight

[I. Her Man's Been Gone]

Her man's been gone For nigh on a year He was due home yesterday But he ain't here

Her man's been gone For nigh on a year He was due home yesterday But he ain't here

It's like a dream to be with you again It's like a dream to be with you again

I missed you and I must admit I kissed a few and once did sit On Ivor the engine driver's lap Laid with him, and had a nap

You are forgiven, you are forgiven [ad-lib]

You are all forgiven

Well, I'm in another state, another state of mind I wish that I could be there right next to her Well, this road leads to this, and this one leads to that Her voice sends shivers down my spine

These scars in my flesh I'm bruised and I'm bloodied Only she knows the pain That I've been through

Talked to her a thousand miles away There's tears in her eyes If I make it back I'm gonna show her She's the only one for me

Hitch a ride on the wild side It's real hell on wheels There's gonna be a fight tonight I know

Another city we can't find Another city left buried behind As I picture her The cities burn away

These scars in my flesh I'm bruised and I'm bloodied Only she knows the pain That I've been through

Talked to her a thousand miles away There's tears in her eyes If I make it back I'm gonna show her She's the only one for me

These scars in my flesh I'm bruised and I'm bloodied Only she knows the pain That I've been through

Talked to her a thousand miles away There's tears in her eyes If I make it back I'm gonna show her She's the only one for me

Well that's all right, mama If that's all right with you Well that's all right, mama Just stand the way you do Well that's all right That's all right That's all right Now Mama, any way you do

Well mama she done told me Papa then told me too Son that girl you foolin' with she ain't no good for you That's all right That's all right That's all right Now mama, anyway you do

1, 2 1, 2, 3, 4!

Stop when the red lights flash, baby!

Dadadoodeedoodee Dadadoodeedoodee Dadadoodeedoodee Dadadoodeedoodee I need your lovin'

That's all right Mam, any way you do That's all right That's all right That's all right

Once upon a time you dressed so fine Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? People call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall" You thought they were all kiddin' you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin' out Now you don't talk so loud Now you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging your next meal

How does it feel How does it feel To be without a home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?

Ah, you've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely But you know you only used to get juiced in it Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street And now you're gonna have to get used to it You say you never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realize He's not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And say, "Do you want to make a deal?"

How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home A complete unknown Like a rolling stone?

Ah, you never turned around to see the frowns On the jugglers and the clowns When they all did tricks for you You never understood that it ain't no good You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Ain't it hard when you discover that He really wasn't where it's at After he took from you everything he could steal?

How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?

Ah, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made Exchanging all precious gifts But you'd better take your diamond ring You'd better pawn it babe You used to be so amused At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel Ah, how does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?

Lights out Here comes the night As the darkness falls over the light Lights out There goes the day And this fear that comes won't go away

And I'm losing track of time In the corners of my mind And I'm living out my private suicide (Lights out!)

Lights out I lost myself In the space between heaven and hell Lights out Finding my way Did I waste my time losing the way?

And I'm losing track of time In the corners of my mind And I'm living out my private suicide (Lights out!)

Lights out!

Lights out Here comes the night As the darkness falls over the light Lights out I lost myself In the space between heaven and hell

And I'm losing track of time In the corners of my mind And I'm living out my private suicide (Lights out!)
