[Verse 1]
She, she's my wild one (Wild one)
My heart is in panic, her eyes look so manic now
She, little wild one (Wild one)
My heart is a chaser, she's strung out on razors now

[Chorus]
She gave up on Jesus for living on Venus
All dressed up with nowhere to go
I'm drinking the Kool-Aid, I jumped on the grenade
Now that my mind's gonna blow, hello

[Verse 2]
She, she's my wild one (Wild one)
My heart is in danger from shadows and strangers now
She, little wild one (Wild one)
She's covered in angels and demons and halos now

[Chorus]
She gave up on Jesus for living on Venus
All dressed up with nowhere to go
I'm drinking the Kool-Aid, I jumped on the grenade
Now that my mind's gonna blow, hello

[Bridge]
(Wild one)
(Wild one)

[Chorus]
She gave up on Jesus for living on Venus
All fucked up with nowhere to go
I'm drinking the Kool-Aid, I jumped on the grenade
Now that my mind's gonna blow, hello

[Outro]
Little wild one (Wild one)
My heart is in danger, she's strung out on razors now
My heart is in danger, she's strung out on razors now

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.
