Another State of MindGreen Day

Songwriter: Mike Ness

Well I'm in another state, another state of mind
I wish that I could be there right next to her
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 know the pain that I've been through
Talk 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
Talk 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

Green Day

Formed in East Bay, California in 1986 and still going strong today, Green Day is one of the biggest punk rock acts in the world. Along with other punk bands in California such as The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion and Rancid, they have been credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 90s.

First starting in 1986 as Sweet Children, longtime friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar and lead vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass guitar) teamed up with John Kiffmeyer to produce their debut EP 1,000 Hours. They eventually dropped the name Sweet Children and called themselves Green Day due to the band members' fondness for cannabis (it even inspired a song featured on their first album) and for their second studio album Kerplunk they replaced Kiffmeyer with German-born drummer Tré Cool, who had been drumming since the age of 12 in a punk band, The Lookouts.

It was their 1994 record Dookie that sent the band to stardom and gave them mainstream success. Dookie, alongside their following albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) were certified double platinum. Eventually, the band started to fall in popularity with their 2000 record Warning which only reached gold.
