[JOHNNY]
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

[WILL]
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars

[TUNNY]
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

[JOHNNY]
As my memory rests

[TUNNY]
But never forgets

[TUNNY and WILL]
What I lost

[JOHNNY, TUNNY and WILL]
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

[TUNNY]
Ring out the bells again

[TUNNY and JOHNNY]
Like we did when spring began

[JOHNNY, TUNNY and WILL]
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

[TUNNY]
As my memory rests

[JOHNNY, TUNNY and WILL]
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

[TUNNY]
Summer has come and passed

[WILL]
The innocent can never last

[JOHNNY, TUNNY and WILL]
Wake me up when September ends

[JOHNNY]
Like my father's come to pass

[JOHNNY, TUNNY and WILL]
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

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.
