Last of the American Girls/She’s a RebelGreen Day

Released: April 20, 2010

[JOHNNY]
She puts her makeup on
Like graffiti on the walls of the heartland
She's got her little book of conspiracies
Right in her hand
She is paranoid like
Endangered species headed into extinction
She is one of a kind
She's the last of the American girls

[WILL & WHATSERNAME]
She's a rebel
She's a saint

[JOHNNY & CHASE]
She wears her overcoat
For the coming of the nuclear winter

[WILL & WHATSERNAME]
She's the salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

[JOHNNY & CHASE]
She is riding her bike
Like a fugitive of critical mass

[WILL & WHATSERNAME]
She's a rebel
Vigilante

[JOHNNY & CHASE]
She's on a hunger strike
For the ones who won't make it for dinner

[WILL & WHATSERNAME]
She's the one that they call
"Oh, Whatsername?"

[JOHNNY & CHASE]
She makes enough to survive
For a holiday of working class

[WILL & WHATSERNAME]
She's a symbol
Of resistance

[JOHNNY & CHASE]
She's a runaway of the establishment incorporated

[WILL & WHATSERNAME]
And she's holding on my heart like a hand grenade!

[JOHNNY]
She won't cooperate
She's the last of the American girls

[JOHNNY & WHATSERNAME]
She sings the revolution

[JOHNNY]
The dawning of our lives

[JOHNNY & WHATSERNAME]
She brings this liberation
That I just can't defy

[ST. JIMMY]
Well, nothing comes to mind!

[JOHNNY]
She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

[JOHNNY & WHATSERNAME]
She's a rebel

[ST. JIMMY]
She's a rebel

[JOHNNY & WHATSERNAME]
She's a saint

[ST. JIMMY]
She's a rebel

[JOHNNY & WHATSERNAME]
She's salt of the earth

[ST. JIMMY]
And she's holding on my heart like a hand grenade

[JOHNNY & WHATSERNAME]
And she's dangerous
She's a rebel

[ST. JIMMY]
She's a rebel

[JOHNNY & WHATSERNAME]
Vigilante

[ST. JIMMY]
She's a rebel

Missing link on the brink

[ST. JIMMY]
She's a rebel!

[JOHNNY & WHATSERNAME]
Of destruction

[ST. JIMMY]
My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
Suicide commando that your momma talked about
King of the forty thieves I'm here to represent
That needle in the vein of the establishment!

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.
