[Verse]
Hey, little kid
Did you wake up late one day
And you're not so young
But you're still dumb
And you're numb to your own glory
Well now it's gone

I fell in love
But it didn't catch your fall
Then I crashed into a wall
Then I fell to pieces on the floor
Now you're sick to death

[Chorus]
Bombs away!
Here goes nothin'!
The shouting is over
Hey X-Kid!
Bombs away!
Here goes nothin'!
The shouting is over and out
Over and out again

[Verse]
I once was old enough to know better
Then I was too young to care
But who cares?
I probably would but Hollywood is dead and gone
You fell in love
But then you just fell apart
Like a kick, in the head
You're an X-Kid
And you never even
Got started again

[Chorus]
Bombs away!
Here goes nothin'!
The shouting is over
Hey X-Kid!
Bombs away!
Here goes nothin'!
The shouting is over and out
Over and out again

[Bridge]
And you will be searching your soul
And you got lost and out of control!
You went over the edge of joking
Died of a broken heart

[Verse]
Hey, little kid
Did you wake up late one day?
You're not so young, but you're still dumb
You're an X-kid and you never even got started again

[Chorus]
Bombs away!
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over
Hey X-Kid!
Bombs away!
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over

Hey X-Kid!
Bombs away!
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over

Hey X-Kid!
Bombs away!
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over and out
Over and out
Over and over and out!

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.
