All my life trouble follows me
Like a mystery girl
I've been chasing down memories
Like a mystery girl
I've been getting lost searching my soul all around this town
I took a wrong turn at growing up and it's freaking me out

Back at school it never made much sense
And i could pay but i can't attention
Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life
Too young to die, i guess, but thats the way it goes
Sometimes i must regress this

Sex, Drugs and Violence!
English, Math and Science!
Safety in numbers!
Gimme gimme danger!

Well i dont wanna be an imbecile
But Jesus made me that way
All my life I've been runnin' wild like a runaway
Wherever the night takes me like a stowaway

Back at home it never made much sense
And i could pay but i can't attention
Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life
Too young to die, i guess, but thats the way it goes
Sometimes i must regress this

Sex, Drugs and Violence!
English, Math and Science!
Safety in numbers!
Gimme gimme danger!
HEY!

Back at home it never made much sense
And i could pay but i can't attention
Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life
Too dumb to die, i guess, but thats the way it goes
Sometimes i must regress this

Sex, Drugs and Violence!
English, Math and Science!
Safety in numbers!
Gimme gimme danger!
OH!

Sex, Drugs and Violence!
English, Math and Science!
Safety in numbers!
Gimme gimme danger!
WOW!

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.
