I. The Death of St. Jimmy

[ST. JIMMY]
My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only
If you are coming home

Waste another year fly by
Waste a night or two
You taught me how to live

In the streets of shame
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain
There's no sign of hope
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope

[ST. JIMMY and JOHNNY]
There's a glow of light
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night
Bearing gifts and trust
The fixture in the city of lust

[ST. JIMMY]
What the hell's your name?
What's your pleasure, what is your pain
Do you dream too much?

[ST. JIMMY and JOHNNY]
Do you think what you need is a crutch?

In the crowd of pain
St. Jimmy comes without any shame
He says "We're fucked up"
But we're not the same
And Mom and Dad are the ones you can blame"

[ST. JIMMY]
Jimmy died today
He blew his brains out into the bay
In the state of mind

[ST. JIMMY and JOHNNY]
In my own private suicide


II. East 12th Street

[THEO and GERARD]
Well nobody cares, well nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
Well nobody cares, well nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?

[THEO and GERARD]
Jesus is filling out paperwork now
At the facility on East 12th St
He's not listening to a word now
He's in his own world and he's daydreaming

He'd rather be doing something else now
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly
His life's on the line with anxiety now
She had enough and he's had plenty

[ALL]
Somebody get me out of here!
Anybody get me out of here!
Somebody get me out of here!
Get me the fuck right out of here!

[JOHNNY]
So far away
I don't want to stay
Get me outta here right now
I just wanna be free
Is there a possibility
Get me out of here right now

[JOHNNY and WILL]
This lifelike dream ain't for me!


III. Nobody Likes You

[WILL]
I fell asleep while watching Spike TV
After ten cups of coffee
And you're still not here
Dreaming of a song
When something went wrong
But I can't tell anyone
'Cause no one's here

Left me here alone
When I should have stayed home
After 10 cups of coffee
I'm thinking...

[ALL]
Where'd you go?

[WILL]
Nobody likes you, everyone left you

[ALL]
Where'd you go?

[WILL]
They're all out without you, having fun

[ALL]
Where'd you go?

[WILL]
Everyone left you, nobody likes you

[ALL]
Where'd you go?

[WILL]
They're all out without you, having fun

[ALL]
Where'd you go?
Go, go, go?


IV. Rock and Roll Girlfriend

[MIGUEL]
Jeez!

I got a rock and roll band
I got a rock and roll life

[MIGUEL and HEATHER]
I got a rock and roll girlfriend!

[MIGUEL]
And another ex-wife

I got a rock and roll house
I got a rock and roll car
I play the shit out the drums

[HEATHER]
And he can play the guitar!

Yeah!

[MIGUEL]
I got a kid in New York
I got a kid in the Bay
I haven't drank or smoked nothing
In over 22-

[WILL]
Don't wanna be an American Idiot!

[MIGUEL]
-days, so get off of my case!

[MIGUEL and HEATHER]
Off of my case!

[ALL]
Off of my case!


V. We're Coming Home Again

[JOHNNY]
Here they come marching down the street
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat
Coming back from the edge of town
Underneath their feet

[JOHNNY and TUNNY]
The time has come and it going nowhere
Nobody ever said that life was fair now
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
In the summer heat

[WILL]
The world is spinning
Around and around
Out of control again
From the 7-11 to the

[WILL and JOHNNY]
Fear of breaking down!

[JOHNNY]
So send my love a letterbomb
And visit me in hell
We're the ones going...

[JOHNNY, TUNNY, and WILL]
Home. We're coming home again
Home. We're coming home again

[JOHNNY]
I started fuckin' running
As soon as my feet touched ground

[TUNNY]
We're back in the Barrio
But to you-

[JOHNNY, TUNNY, and WILL]
-and me, that's Jingletown, that's...

[ALL]
Home. We're coming home again (x8)

Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you
Havin' fun!

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.
