[WHATSERNAME]
Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly stacks up ten high
The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
A flunky only along for the ride

Where have all the riots gone
As the city's motto gets pulverized?
What's in love that's now in debt?
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse!

The town's bishop an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist
Standing still when it's do or die
You better run for your fucking life!

[ALL]
It's not over till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late

[WHATSHERNAME]
This city's burning!

[COMPANY]
"It's not my burden"

[ALL]
It's not over before it's too late

[WHATSERNAME]
There is nothing left to analyze

Where will all the martyrs go
When the virus cures itself?
And when will we all go when it's too late?

And don't look back! (Don't look back!)

You're not the Jesus of Suburbia!
The St. Jimmy is a figment of
Your father's rage and your mother's love
Made me the idiot America!

[ALL]
It's not over 'till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burning:
"It's not my burden"
It's not over before it's too late

She said "I can't take this place
I'm leaving it behind"

[WHATSHERNAME]
WAKE UP!

[ALL]
And she said "I can't take this town
I'm leaving you tonight"

[WHATSHERNAME]
I'm leaving you tonight...

[ALYSHA]
Tonight...

[HEATHER]
Tonight...

[EXTRAORDINARY GIRL]
Tonight...

[WHATSHERNAME]
TONIGHT!

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.
