[Verse 1]
Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round
Like a ferris wheel that keeps breaking down
Drinking angel's piss, gonna crash and burn
I just want some action, so gimme my turn

[Chorus]
Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
It's the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
It's looking like another bad comedy
Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too

[Verse 2]
Can you hear the sound coming over the hill?
Gotta move my feet, it's coming in for the kill
Ba-baby, baby it's a blow out, oh yeah
Like a nuclear bomb and it won't be long 'til I detonate

[Chorus]
Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
It's the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
It's looking like another bad comedy
Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too

[Bass Solo]

[Bridge]
Wow!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round
Like a ferris wheel that keeps breaking down
Scream, screaming, screaming bloody murder
Like a nuclear bomb and it won't be long 'til I detonate

[Chorus]
Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
It's the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
It's looking like another bad comedy
Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too

[Outro]
I say ten! (Whoa-oh) Nine! (Whoa-oh)
Eight! (Whoa-oh) Seven! (Whoa-oh)
Six! (Whoa-oh) Five! (Whoa-oh)
Four! (Whoa-oh) Three! (Whoa-oh)
Five, four, three, two, one!

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.
