[TUNNY]
Starry nights
City lights coming down over me
Skyscrapers and stargazers in my head

Are we, we are
Are we, we are the waiting unknown
This dirty town was burning down
In my dreams
Lost and found, city bound
In my dreams
And screaming

[ALL]
Are we, we are
Are we, we are the waiting

[TUNNY and JOSHUA]
And screaming

[ALL]
Are we, we are
Are we, we are the waiting

[TUNNY]
Forget-me-nots and second thoughts
Live in isolation
Heads or tails and fairytales in my mind

Are we, we are
Are we, we are the waiting unknown

The rage and love
The story of my life
The Jesus of Suburbia is a lie

[TUNNY and JOSHUA]
And screaming

[ALL]
Are we, we are
Are we, we are the waiting

[TUNNY]
The waiting unknown

[ALL]
Are we, we are
Are we, we are the waiting

[TUNNY and JOSHUA]
And screaming

[ALL]
Are we, we are
Are we, we are the waiting

[TUNNY]
The waiting unknown

[ALL]
Are we, we are
Are we, we are the waiting

[TUNNY]
The waiting unknown

[ALL]
The waiting
The waiting
The waiting

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.
