[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno

[Post-Chorus]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno

[Post-Chorus]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno
Whoa-oh, Christian's inferno

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.
