[Pre-Chorus]
Another one down at the mining town
Breakin' it down for the lame wager
Callin' the shots from the capital
All that we got was the banks of hope

[Chorus]
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?

[Verse 1]
This city isn't big enough for dreamers
We were all believers
It's the perfect crime
(Only the lonely and wasted)

[Pre-Chorus]
Another black kid was shot in town
A man with a badge and a daytime show
Darkness falls on Graffitia
Death of a town in the afterglow

[Chorus]
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?

[Verse 2]
All souls go to heaven in Graffitia
Singing Hallelujah
It's the perfect crime
(Only the lonely and wasted)
If we're goin' down for a good time
Life during wartime
It's the perfect crime
(Only the lonely and wasted)

[Chorus]
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
Are we the last forgotten? (Another one down at the mining town)
Are we the long lost love? (Breakin' it down for the lame wager)
Are we the last forgotten? (Callin' the shots from the capital)
Are we the long lost love? (All that we got was the banks of hope)

[Outro]
Another one down at the mining town
Are we the last forgotten?
Callin' the shots from the capital
Are we the last forgotten?
Another one down at the mining town
Are we the last forgotten?
Callin' the shots from the capital

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.
