[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Calling all demons, this is the season
Next stop is therapy
We're the retarded and the brokenhearted
The season of misery
Here's to the wasted, I can almost taste it
The rejects, and waste of times
Gonna take it further, get away with murder
And no one here is getting out alive

[Chorus 1]
Here's to all God's losers
Ra da da da de!
The bottom-feeders frenzy
Here's to all bloodsuckers!
Sing along with me
'Cause we don't say no!
Scream one, two, three!

[Interlude]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey!

[Bridge 1]
We're too old to be misbehaved
We sold our souls and so ashamed of ourselves
So we wait for Miss Judgment Day
Write me a letter and send it to my grave, yeah

[Verse 2]
All fucked up beyond intervention!
Fuck the world this is my revolution!
Long lost souls and living in cages
I'm on a bender, it's one for the ages

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've got the urge
To binge and surge
The tables turn
To crash and burn

[Chorus 2]
Juliana Homicide
Make my demons come to life
Well, Juliana Homicide
Oh, won't you be my blushing bride?

[Verse 3]
I chopped me a line of my best friends ashes
Dust to dust when the red light flashes
What the fuck does OK stand for?
When the afterlife is only worth dying for

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've got the urge
To binge and surge
The tables turn
To crash and burn

[Chorus 2]
Juliana Homicide
Make my demons come to life
Well, Juliana Homicide
Oh, won't you be my blushing bride?
Alright

[Instrumental]

[Bridge 2]
Well, California's burning to the ground
And Juliana walks on holy ground
Where there's smoke there's fire burning out the lights
'Cause California's burning down tonight
Tonight

[Verse 1]
Calling all demons, this is the season
Next stop is therapy
We're the retarded and the brokenhearted
The season of misery
Here's to the wasted, I can almost taste it
The rejects, and waste of times
Gonna take it further, get away with murder
And no one here is getting out alive

[Chorus]
Here's to all God's losers
Ra da da da de!
The bottom-feeders frenzy
Here's to all bloodsuckers!
Sing along with me
'Cause we don't say no!
Scream one, two, three!

[Outro]
We're carried away, carried away, carried away
We're carried away, carried away, carried away
We're carried away, carried away, carried away
We're carried away, carried away, carried away
We're carried away, carried away, carried away
We're carried away, carried away, carried away

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.
