[Verse 1]
All brawn and no brains, yeah, and all those nice things, yeah
You finally got what you want
Someone to look good with and light your cigarette
Is this what you really want?

[Chorus]
I figured out what you're all about, and
I don't think I like what I see, so
I hope I won't be there in the end if you come around

[Verse 2]
How long will he last before he's a creep in the past
And you're alone once again?
Will you pop up again and be my special friend
'Til the end and when will that be?

[Chorus]
I figured out what you're all about, and
I don't think I like what I see, so
I hope I won't be there in the end if you come around

[Interlude]
Hey!

[Chorus]
I figured out what you're all about, and
I don't think I like what I see, so
I hope I won't be there in the end if you come around

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.
