[Chorus]
Youngblood, youngblood
Youngblood, she's my little youngblood
Youngblood, youngblood
Youngblood, punch drunk and youngblood

[Verse 1]
She's a loner, not a stoner
Bleeding heart and the soul of Ms. Teresa
Supernova, Cherry Cola
She's the cedar in the trees of Minnesota

[Verse2]
I'm a rough boy 'round the edges
Gettin' drunk and falling into hedges
She's my weakness, fuckin' genius
Swear to God, and I'm not even superstitious

[Chorus]
Youngblood, youngblood
Youngblood, she's my little youngblood
Youngblood, youngblood
Youngblood, punch drunk and youngblood

[Bridge]
I wanna hold you like a gun
We'll shoot the moon into the sun
(Daylight) Alright, (alright) alright, ow!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Are you stranded like I'm stranded?
Do you wanna watch the world fall to pieces?
Are you broken like I'm broken?
Are you restless? She said, "Fuck you, I'm from Oakland!"

[Chorus]
Youngblood, youngblood
Youngblood, she's my little youngblood
Youngblood, youngblood
Youngblood, punch drunk and youngblood

[Instrumental Outro]

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.
