[Verse 1]
Well, I am just a mutt
And nowhere is my home
Where dignity's a land mine in the
School of lost hope
I've panhandled for life
'Cause I'm not afraid to beg
Hand me down your lost and founds of
Second hand regret

[Pre-Chorus]
You better swallow your pride or
You're gonna choke on it
You better digest your values
'Cause they turn to shit

[Chorus]
Honor's gonna knock you down
Before your chance to stand up and fight
Well, I know I'm not the one, I got no pride

[Verse 2]
Well, sects of disconnection and
Traditions of lost faith
No culture's worth a stream of piss or a
Bullet in my face
To hell with unity
Separation will kill us all
Torn to shreds and disjointed
Before the final fall

[Pre-Chorus]
You better swallow your pride or
You're gonna choke on it
You better digest your values
'Cause they turn to shit

[Chorus]
Honor's gonna knock you down
Before your chance to stand up and fight
Well, I know I'm not the one, I got no pride
Shuh!

[Pre-Chorus]
You better swallow your pride or
You're gonna choke on it
You better digest your values
'Cause they turn to shit

[Chorus]
Honor's gonna knock you down
Before your chance to stand up and fight
Well, I know I'm not the one, I got no pride

[Outro]
I got no pride
Close your eyes and die
I got no pride

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.
