BURN OUT  (GREEN DAY)
	I declare I donīt care no more. 
	Iīm burning up and out and growing bored 
	in my smoked out boring room my hair is shagging in my eyes,
	Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight,
	to drive along these shit town lights.
	Iīm not growing up, Iīm just burning out
	And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead
	Apathy has rained on me...
	Now Iīm feeling like a soggy dream
	So close to drowning but I donīt mind
	Iīve lived in this mental cave throw my emotions in the grave
	Hell, who needs them anyway...

HAVING A BLAST  (GREEN DAY)
	Iīm taking all you down with me, explosives duct taped to my spine
	Nothingīs gonna change my mind, 
	I wonīt listen to anyoneīs last words
	Thereīs nothind left for you to say, soon youīll be dead anyway
	Well no one here, is getting out alive.
	This time Iīve lost my mind and I donīt care.
	So close your eyes and kiss yourself goodbye,
	and think about the times you spent and what theyīve meant.
	To me itīs nothing...Iīm losing all my happiness,
	the happiness you pinned on my loneliness still comforts me.
	My anger dwells inside of me. Iīm taking it all out on you 
	and all the shit you put me through...
	So...Do you ever think back to another time?
	Did it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?
	Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction 
	and mow down any bullshit that confronts you?
	Do you ever build up all the small things in your head
	to make one problem that adds up to nothing?...

CHUMP  (GREEN DAY)
	I donīt know you, but I think I hate you.
	Youīre the reason for my misery.
	Strange how youīve become my biggest enemy
	And Iīve never even seen your face.
	Maybe itīs just jealousy, mixing up with a violent mind
	A circumstance that doesnīt make much sense or maybe Iīm just dumb.
	Youīre the cloud hanging out over my head.
	Hail comes crashing down welting my face
	Magic man, egocentric plastic man, 
	yet you still got one over on me...

LONG VIEW  (GREEN DAY)	
	Sit around and watch the tube but, nothingīs on.
	Change the channels for an hour or two, twiddle my thumbs 
	just for a bit, Iīm sick of all the same old shit,
	in a house with unlocked doors and Iīm fucking lazy...
	Bite my lip and close my eyes, take me away to paradise
	Iīm so damn bored Iīm going blind!!!  And I smell like shit.
	Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving.
	I sure as hell canīt do it by myself, Iīm 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...
	...I got no motivation, where is my motivation?
	No time for...Smoking my inspiration...
	Sit around and watch the phone but no oneīs calling.
	Call me pathetic call me what you will.
	My mother says to get a job, but she donīt like the one sheīs got
	When masturbationīs lost its fun youīre fucking breaking...
	...And loneliness has to suffice...
	...Slipping away to paradise. Some say, "Quit or Iīll go blind"
	But itīs just a myth...

WELCOME TO PARADISE  (GREEN DAY)
	Dear mother, can you hear me whining?
	Itīs been three whole weeks since I left your home.
	This sudden fear has left me trembling, 
	Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
	And Iīm feeling so alone...
	Pay attention to the cracked streets and broken homes
	Some call it the slums...nice...
	I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
	Welcome to paradise...	
	A gunshot rings out at the station,
	another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
	It makes me wonder why Iīm still here
	For some strange reason itīs now feeling like my home...
	And Iīm never gonna go...
	...Dear mother, can you hear me laughing?
	Itīs been six whole months since I have left your home...

PULLING TEETH  (GREEN DAY)
	Iīm all busted up, broken bones & nasty cuts...
	Accidents will happen, but this time I canīt get up
	She comes to check on me, making sure Iīm on my knees
	After all sheīs the one who put me in this state...
	Is she ultra-violent? Is she disturbed?
	I better tell her that I love her 
	before she does it all over again.  Oh God, sheīs killing me!!!
	For now Iīll lie around. Hell, thatīs all I can really do
	She takes good care of me, just keep saying my love is true...
	...Looking out my window for someone thatīs passing by
	No one knows Iīm locked in here, all I do is cry...

BASKET CASE  (GREEN DAY)	
	Do you have the time to listen to me whine
	About nothing and everything all at once...
	I am one of those melodramatic fools, neurotic to the bone
	No doubt about it...
	Sometimes I give myself the creeps, 
	sometimes my mind plays tricks on me...
	It all keeps adding up, I think Iīm cracking up...
	Am I just paranoid?  Iīm just stoned.
	I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
	She says itīs lack of sex thatīs bringing me down
	I went to a whore, he said my lifeīs a bore
	So quit my whining cause itīs bringing her down...
	...Grasping to control, so I better hold on...

SHE  (GREEN DAY)
	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 thatīs been planned out for you?
	Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
	Scream at me until my ears bleed.  Iīm taking heed just for you
	Sheīs figured out all her doubts were someone elseīs point of view
	Waking up this time ...

SASSAFRAS ROOTS  (GREEN DAY)
	Roaming īround your house, wasting your time... 
	No obligation, just...So why are you alone?...
	...When you could be with me...
	Iīm a waste like you with nothing else to do
	May I waste your time too?...	
	Warding off regrets...Smoking cigarettes...
	Iīm just a parasite...Applying myself to ...

WHEN I COME AROUND  (GREEN DAY)
	I heard you crying loud all the way across town
	Youīve been searching for that someone,
	and itīs me out on the prowl...
	As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
	Donīt get lonely now, dry your whining eyes
	Iīm just roaming for the moment...
	Sleazinī my back yard so donīt get so uptight
	you been thinking about ditching me...
	No time to search the world around,
	Cause you know where Iīll be found
	When I come around...
	I heard it all before so donīt knock down my door
	Iīm a loser and a user so I donīt need no accuser
	to try and slag me down because I know Iīm right
	So go do what you like, make sure you do it wise
	You may find out that your selfdoubt means nothing
	was ever there...
	You canīt go forcing something if itīs just not right...

COMING CLEAN  (GREEN DAY)
	Seventeen and strung out on confusion,
	Trapped inside a roll of disillusion
	I found out what it takes to be a man
	Mom and Dad will never understand
	Secrets collecting dust but never forget
	skeletons come to life in my closet...
	...Whatīs happening to me...coming clean for the first time
	I finally figured out myself...

EMENIUS SLEEPUS  (GREEN DAY)
	I saw my friend the other day and I donīt know
	Exactly just what he became...
	It goes to show it wasnīt long ago
	I was just like you and now I think Iīm sick and I wanna go home.
	How have I been?, how have you been?
	Itīs been so long, what have you done with all your time?
	And what went wrong? I knew you back when, and you... 
	you knew me...Anybody ever say no?
	Ever tell you that you werenīt right?
	Where did all the little kid go? Did you lose it in a hateful fight?
	And you know itīs true...	

IN THE END  (GREEN DAY)
	All brawn and no brains, and all those nice things
	You finally got what you want, someone to look good with
	and light your cigarette. Is this what you really want?
	I figured out what youīre all about
	And I donīt think I like what I see so...
	I hope I wonīt be there in the end if you come around.
	How long will he last before heīs a creep in the past
	And youīre alone once again? Will you pop up again 
	and be my "special friend" ītill the end? And when will that be?...

F.O.D.  (GREEN DAY)
	Somethingīs on my mind, itīs been for quite some time
	This time Iīm on to you so whereīs the other face?
	The face I heard before your head tripīs boring me...
	Letīs nuke the bridge we torched 2,000 times before
	This time weīll blast it all to hell
	Iīve had this burning in my guts now for so long...
	My bellyīs aching now to say...
	Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut 
	A side of you well hid when itīs all said and done
	itīs real and itīs been fun. But was it all real fun... 
	...Iīve felt this burning...Youīre just a fuck, 
	I canīt explain it īcause I think you suck.
	Iīm taking pride in telling you to fuck off and die...
	...to sing, Iīm taking pleasure in the doubts that may still grow
	So listen up cause you might miss it...	
	...I was alone, I was all by myself.
	Now I was lucky, I was thinking of you
	Oh yeah, did I mention I was all by myself...
	...I went to your house, but no one was there.
	I went to your room...We had such wonderful times
	When Iīm all by myself...
