I think sometimes taking time off feels dangerous to me
And what I've noticed happens to bands that
Quote on quote 'take time off'
They're not as good when they come back
We're like an old race-car that way
You got to keep it tuned up or it's just gonna sit there and rust
["Stop When The Red Lights Flash" Playing in the background]
[Billie Joe]
It is the first time in 20 years that we are inviting people into the actual process
This is not a fully thought out thing yet
[Tre Cool]
This is sending the baby down the corner to buy cigarettes
[Billie Joe]
Yeah
Kinda forgot "Oh, this is the first time people are hearing these songs"
I've gotten into all like a depression
Fuck the past, think about now, think about the future, that's the only thing you need to worry about
We were so used to presenting ourselves before
This time we had nothing
It's back to that "Okay, prove it to me"
["Stay The Night" Playing live in the background]
One! Two! Three! Four!
[Mike Dirnt]
I think there are things that this band can do, that Billie can do as a songwriter, that people still don't know about
[Billie Joe]
For us, it's just, keep that evolution going
Let your audience grow with you, and grow up with you
And, and at some point, grow old with you
[Mike Dirnt]
When you see the arc of the three of these records
You're gonna fully understand where Green Day was at that point or our creativity
["Dirty Rotten Bastards" playing in the background]
