[Verse 1]
What brings you around?
Did you lose something the last time you were here?
You'll never find it now
It's buried deep with your identity

[Pre-Chorus]
So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don't let the door kick you in the ass

[Chorus]
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There’s no return from 86, don't even try

[Verse 2]
Exit out the back
And never show your head around again
Purchase your ticket
And quickly take the last train out of town

[Pre-Chorus]
So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don't let the door kick you in the ass

[Chorus]
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There’s no return from 86, don't even try

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There’s no return from 86, don't even try

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.
