I'm gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round!
Like a Ferris Wheel like its breaking down
Drinking's Angel's piss, gonna crash and burn
I just want some action so gimme my turn

Like a Chinese Government conspiracy
It's the death of a nuclear family
Staring up at you

It's lookin' like another bad Comedy
Just as long as it comes in Hi-Fidelity
For me too

Can you hear the sound comin' over the hill?
Gotta move my feet! it's comin' in for the kill
Ba-baby, baby it's a blowout!
OH YEAH!
Like a Nuclear Bomb
And it won't be long
'till i detonate

Like a Chinese Government conspiracy
It's the death of a nuclear family
Staring up at you

It's lookin' like another bad Comedy
Just as long as it comes in Hi-Fidelity
For me too ALL RIGHT!

WOW!

I'm gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round!
Like a Ferris Wheel like its breaking down
Screa-screa-screamin' Bloody Murder! OH YEAH
Like a Nuclear Bomb
And it won't be long
'till i detonate

Like a Chinese Government conspiracy
It's the death of a nuclear family
Staring up at you

It's lookin' like another bad Comedy
Just as long as it comes in Hi-Fidelity
For me too

I SAID 10!

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.
