[Intro]
Another sentimental argument
And bitter love
Fucked without a kiss again
Dragged it through the mud
Yelling at brick walls and punching
Windows made of stone
The worry rock has turned to dust
Fallen on our pride

[Chorus]
A knocked down dragged out fight
Fat lips and open wounds
Another wasted night
And no one will take the fall

[Post-Chorus]
Where do we go from here
And what did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
A knocked down dragged out fight
Fat lips and open wounds
Another wasted night
And no one will take the fall

[Bridge]
Another sentimental argument
And bitter love
Fucked without a kiss again
Dragged it through the mud

[Outro]
Where do we go from here and what
Did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road

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.
