[Verse 1]
Sometimes it gets real hard, and I need some kind of output
For input twice the size of my one inch mind
So slap me on the hand, put it right back down my pants
Turn me right around, kick me in the ass

[Chorus]
Well, today, I say sweet things, but tomorrow
I'll be making up excuses for my actions, 'cause it's been so long
Since I have been in love, a special kind of feeling
Guess my best excuse, I'm on the wagon again

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Well, today, I say sweet things, but tomorrow
I'll be making up excuses for my actions, 'cause it's been so long
Since I have been in love, a special kind of feeling
Guess my best excuse, I'm on the wagon again
Well, I got no real excuse, I'm on the wagon again

[Outro]
Hey!
Hold on...

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.
