[JOHNNY]
St. Jimmy's coming down across the alleyway
Upon the boulevard like a zip gun on parade

[THEO]
Light of a silhouette

[DECLAN]
He's insubordinate

[JOHNNY]
Coming at you on the count of one, two-

[ST. JIMMY]
One, two, three, four!

My name is Jimmy and you'd better not wear it out
Suicide commando that your mama talked about
King of the forty thieves and I'm here to represent
The needle in the vein of the establishment

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

Cigarettes and Ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe
Raised in the city in the halo of lights
Product of war and fear that we've been victimized

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

Are you talking to me?
I'll give you something to cry about!

[ALL]
St. Jimmy!

[ST. JIMMY]
My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun
I'm the one that's from the way outside (St. Jimmy!)
I'm a teenage assassin executing some fun
In the cult of the life of crime (St. Jimmy!)

I really hate to say it but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down, old boy (St. Jimmy!)
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
And the resident leader at the lost and found (St. Jimmy!)

[JOHNNY and ST. JIMMY]
It's comedy and tragedy
It's St. Jimmy
And that's my name

[ST. JIMMY]
And don't wear it out!

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.
