[Verse 1]
I'm too tired to be bored, I'm too bored to be tired
And the silence is so deafening, it's like picking at a sore
I'm too mental to go crazy, I'm too drunk to be pure
And my mind is playing tricks on me, and I can't sleep tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm so tired, I can't take it anymore
And with all the liars like a prisoner of war

[Chorus]
I don't want your sympathy, I don't want your honesty
I just wanna get some peace of mind
It's only in my head as I roll over and play dead
I don't wanna hear it anymore

[Verse 2]
It's good to see you, but I really must admit
There's an odor in the air and I think you look like shit
I can't stand for falling down, I'm too sick to throw up
Everyone keeps talking, and they can't shut the fuck up

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm so tired, I can't take it anymore
And with all the liars, like a prisoner of war

[Chorus]
I don't want your sympathy, I don't want your honesty
I just wanna get some peace of mind
It's only in my head as I roll over and play dead
I don't wanna hear it anymore

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Whoa!
Whoa!

[Chorus]
I don't want your sympathy, I don't want your honesty
I just wanna get some peace of mind
It's only in my head as I roll over and play dead
I don't wanna hear about it, I don't wanna scream about it
I don't wanna hear it anymore...

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.
