[Verse 1]
My friend drove off the other day, now he's gone and all they say
Is "you got to live cause life goes on..."
But now I see I'm mortal, too, I can't live my life like you
Got to live it up while life goes on

[Chorus]
And I think it's all right
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I want to live
It's how I give, and I'm still givin'...

[Verse 2]
And now I wonder 'bout my friend, if he gave all he could give
Cause he lived his life like I live mine
If you could see inside my head, then you'd start to understand
The things I value in my heart

[Chorus]
And I think it's all right
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I want to live
It's how I give, and I'm still givin'...

[Bridge]
You know that I know that
You're watchin' me!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
And I think it's all right
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I want to live
It's how I give, and I'm still givin'...

[Outro]
Got to make a plan, got to do what's right
Can't run around in circles if you wanna build a life
But I don't want to make a plan for a day far away
While I'm young and while I'm able, all I want to do is...

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.
