[Chorus]
She's a rebel, she's a saint
She's the salt of the earth, and she's dangerous
She's a rebel, vigilante
Missing link on the brink of destruction

[Verse 1]
From Chicago to Toronto
She's the one that they call ol' Whatsername
She's a symbol of resistance
And she's holding on my heart like a hand grenade

[Verse 2]
Is she dreaming what I'm thinking?
Is she the mother of all bombs? Gonna detonate
Is she trouble like I'm trouble?
Make it a double twist of fate or a melody that

[Bridge]
She sings the revolution
The dawning of our lives
She brings this liberation
That I just can't define
Well, nothing comes to mind (Hey!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
She sings the revolution
The dawning of our lives
She brings this liberation
That I just can't define
Well, nothing comes to mind

[Chorus]
She's a rebel, she's a saint
She's the salt of the earth, and she's dangerous
She's a rebel, vigilante
Missing link on the brink of destruction
She's a rebel, she's a saint
She's the salt of the earth, and she's dangerous
She's a rebel, vigilante
Missing link on the brink of destruction

[Outro]
She's a rebel, she's a rebel
She's a rebel, and she's dangerous
She's a rebel, she's a rebel
She's a rebel, and she's dangerous

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.
