Green Day

Hey, old man in woman's shoes I wonder if he knows I think he's crazy When he was young did he have dreams Of wearing woman's shoes and being crazy? It makes me wonder when I grow to be that age Will I be walking down the street begging for your spare change? Or will I grow that old? Will I still be around? The way I carry on, I'll end up six feet underground and waste away When the old man was in school Did the golden rules make him go crazy? Or did he hide away from hopes Behind a smile and smoking dope? It's crazy It makes me wonder when I grow to be that age Will I be walking down the street begging for your spare change? Or will I grow that old? Will I still be around? The way I carry on, I'll end up six feet underground and waste away And it seems so frightening time passes by like lightning Before you know it you're struck down I always waste my time on my chemical emotions It keeps my head spinning around and waste away And it seems so frightening time passes by like lightning Before you know it you're struck down I always waste my time on my chemical emotions It keeps my head spinning around, and waste away

Well, I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor Reminds me of the times we've shared Makes me wish that you were here, 'cause Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life Well, all the songs have been erased Guess I've learned from my mistakes, well Open the past and present now, and we are there Story to tell, and I am listening Open the past and present and the future too It's all I've got, and I'm giving it to you Well, loose ends tied in knots, leaving a lump down in my throat Well, gagging on a souvenir Lived to fill another year We'll drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds Well, leaving myself open wide Living out a sacrifice, well Open the past and present now, and we are there Story to tell, and I am listening Open the past and present and the future too It's all I've got, and I'm giving it to you If you got no one And I've got no place to go Would it be alright? Could it be alright? Well, I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor Reminds me of the times we shared Makes me wish that you were here, 'cause Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life Well, all the songs have been erased Guess I've learned from my mistakes, well Open the past and present now, and we are there Story to tell, and I am listening Open the past and present and the future too It's all I've got, and I'm giving it to you It's all I've got, and I'm giving it to you

Is your heart singing out of tune? Are your eyes just sing the blues? Dirty records from another time Some bloods stain on your shoes No one really knows about your soul And I barely really know your name Burning rythym and posting lies And I bunch you full drown in shame Amy, don't you go I want you around Singing oh, please, don't go Do you wanna be a friend of mine? Do you wanna be a friend of mine? Did you tattoo a lucky charm To keeps out of harms pain? Warning all of evil signs But never really kept you safe Now you're too young for the golden age 'Cause the record's been replaced Twenty-seven gone without a trace And you walked away from your drink Amy, don't you go I want you around Singing oh, please, don't go Do you wanna be a friend of mine? Do you wanna be a friend of Amy, please don't go Amy, please don't go Is your heart singing out of tune? Are your eyes just sing the blues? Dirty records from another time Some bloods stain on your shoes May I have this last dance By chance if we should meet? Can you write me a lullaby So we can sing you to sleep? Amy, don't you go I want you around Singing oh, please, don't go Do you wanna be a friend of mine? Do you wanna be a friend of mine? Do you wanna be a friend of mine?

She, she screams in silence A sullen riot penetrating through her mind Waiting for a sign To smash the silence with the brick of self control Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you? Are you feeling like a social tool without a use? Scream at me until my ears bleed I'm taking heed just for you She, she's figured out All her doubts were someone else's point of view Waking up this time To smash the silence with the brick of self control Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you? Are you feeling like a social tool without a use? Scream at me until my ears bleed I'm taking heed just for you Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you? Are you feeling like a social tool without a use? Scream at me until my ears bleed I'm taking heed just for you

Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name I met her on the eve of my birthday Did she know (did she know) did she know Before she went away? Does she know (does she know) does she know? But it's too damn late This girl has run far away Now she's gone This girl has run far away Now she's gone This girl has run far away Now she's gone This girl has run far away Now she's gone, now she's gone Now she's all gone All I have now is a memory to date A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name I didn't know (I didn't know) I didn't know Before she went away I know now (I know now) I know now But it's too damn late This girl has run far away Now she's gone This girl has run far away Now she's gone This girl has run far away Now she's gone This girl has run far away Now she's gone, now she's gone Now she's all gone Will she ever find her way? I'm too damn young to be too late, but am I? Yet again, I'm kicking myself And I'll be here in battle scars, waiting for you Waiting for you now This girl has run far away Now she's gone This girl has run far away Now she's gone This girl has run far away Now she's gone This girl has run far away Now she's gone, now she's gone Now she's all gone

I sit around and watch the tube But nothing's on I change the channels for an hour or two Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit I'm sick of all the same old shit In a house with unlocked doors and I'm fuckin' lazy Bite my lip and close my eyes Take me away to paradise I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind And I smell like shit Peel me off this Velcro seat And get me moving I sure as hell can't do it by myself I'm feeling like a dog in heat Barred indoors from the summer street I locked the door to my own cell and I lost the key Bite my lip and close my eyes Take me away to paradise I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind And I smell like shit I got no motivation Where is my motivation? No time for no motivation Smoking my inspiration I sit around and watch the phone But no one's calling Call me pathetic, call me what you will My mother says to get a job But she don't like the one she's got When masturbation's lost its fun, you're fuckin' lazy Bite my lip and close my eyes Take me away to paradise I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind And loneliness has to suffice Bite my lip and close my eyes I'm slipping away to paradise Some say, quit or I'll go blind But it's just a myth
