Panic SongGreen Day

Released: October 10, 1995

Songwriter: Billie Joe Armstrong Mike Dirnt

Producer: Green Day Rob Cavallo

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self-destruction
Widespread panic
Broken glass inside my head
Bleeding down these thoughts of
Anguish, mass confusion

[Chorus]
Well, the world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with "I don't care"

[Verse 2]
There's a plague inside of me
Eating at my disposition
Nothing's left
Torn out of reality
To a state of no opinion
Limp with hate

[Chorus]
Well, the world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with "I don't care"

[Outro]
I wanna jump out
I wanna jump out
I wanna jump out
I wanna jump out

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.
