Songwriter: Al Sobrante Billie Joe Armstrong Mike Dirnt

Producer: Al Sobrante Billie Joe Armstrong Mike Dirnt

[Verse 1]
Come with me and let's go for a ride
Follow me out to the other side
As I sit around and watch you pout

[Chorus]
'Cause I know that you're the best thing in town
Best thing around
Best thing in town
Best thing around

[Verse 2]
Running wild and always running free
Exploring things that I have never seen
Eerie colors and all I see are sounds

[Chorus]
Now I know that you're the best thing in town
Best thing around
Best thing in town
Best thing around

[Bridge]
I'm seeing faces
Of mysteries of the earth
I know not one
But the aggressions of my birth
Or go to stance
Of solutions I can't find
A missing piece
Of a thought that's in my mind

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
Come with me and let's go for a ride
Follow me to the other side
As I sit around and watch you pout

[Chorus]
'Cause I know that you're the best thing in town
Best thing around
Best thing in town
Best thing around

[Verse 2]
Running wild and always running free
Exploring things that I have never seen
Eerie colors and all I see are sounds

[Chorus]
Now I know that you're the best thing in town
Best thing around
Best thing in town
Best thing around

[Outro]
I'm sick and growing tired of always playing this shit!

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.
