DUIGreen Day

Released: July 2, 2002

Songwriter: Tré Cool

[Verse 1: Tre Cool]
Let's get drunk and go out driving
Let's see just how quickly we can go
Let's get plowed and plow down some old ladies
Mix a drink and bump the stereo
Let's go down and vomit out the window
Let's keep score of how many we've killed
Do tequila slammers off the dashboard
There's an alcoholic at the wheel

[Verse 2: Tre Cool]
Careful when I'm taking this next corner
I don't want anybody wasting beer
Pass another Lime and Corona
Too drunk to use my clutch when shifting gears
Let's get drunk and go out driving
Let's do brodies in the cul-de-sac
Let's get drunk and go out driving
We're going and we're never coming back

[Outro: Tre Cool]
We're going and we're never coming back
We're going and we're never coming back

[Instrumental Outro]

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.
