Tell me what do you see... But you quickly turn your head away... Try to find the words I could use, don't have the courage to come up to you. My chance is looking a bit grey... Starting across the room: are you leaving soon? I just need a little time... What is that drives me mad!? Girls like you that I never had! What is it about you that I adore? What makes me go so insane That makes me feel so much pain? What is it about you that I adore? Why did you have to leave so soon? Why did you have to walk away? Oh, well, it happened again.. She walked away with her boyfriend Maybe we'll meet again someday... someday... 2: Don't Leave Me I'll go for miles 'till I find you You say you want to leave me But ya can't choose.. I've gone thru pain every day & night I feel my mind is going insane Something I can't fight Don't leave me X 3 A blank expression covering your face I'm looking for directions for out of this place I start to wonder... If you'll come back I feel the rain storming: After thunder I can't hold back chorus 3: I Was There Looking back upon my life And the places that I've been Pictures, faces girls that I've loved I try to remember when Faded memories on the wall Some names I have forgotten But each one is a memory I Look back on so often. I look into the past I want to make it last I was there Looking back what I have done There's lots more life to live At times I feel overwhelmed I question what I can give But I don't let it get me down Or cause me too much sorrow There's no doubt about who I am I always have tomorrow Looking back upon my life Faded memories upon the wall Looking now at who I am I don't let it get me down. 4: Disappearing Boy Now you see me now you don't Don't ask me where I'm at 'Cause I'm a million miles away Treated like a forbidden heel Don't say my thoughts are not for real Or you won't see me again Am I here or am I there Or am I playing on the stairs Am I in my room with my toys I am the disappearing boy When I walk in crowded rooms I feel as if it is my doom I know that I don't belong In that room I see her I see her & she's with him I turn and then I'm gone Don't call me up 'cause I'm not home My whereabouts are now unknown I vanished from all your joy I'm the disappearing boy I have my doubts Of where I belong It's something to think about 5: Green Day A small cloud has fallen The white mist hits the ground My lungs comfort me with joy Vegging on one detail The rest just crowds around My eyes itch of burning red Picture sounds Of moving insects so surreal Lay around Looks like I found something new Laying in my bed I think I'm in left field I picture someone, I think it's you You're standing so damn close My body begins to swell Why does 1 + 1 make 2 6: Going To Pasalacqua Here we go again, infatuation Touches me just when I Thought that it would end Oh but then again it seems Much more than that but I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking I toss and turn all night Thinking of your ways of effection But to find that it's not different at all I throw away my past mistakes And contemplate my future That's when I say... What the Hey!?! Would I last forever? You and I together, hand and hand We run away -far away- I'm in for nasty weather But I'll take whatever you can Give that comes my way -far away- 7: 16 Every night I dream the same dream Of getting older all the time I ask you now, what does this mean? Are these problems just in my mind? Things are easy when you are a child But now these pressures have dropped on my head The length I've gone are just long miles Would they be shorter if I were dead Every time I look in my past I always wish I was there I wish my youth would forever last Why are these times so unfair Look at my friends and see what they've done Ask myself why they had to change I like them better when they were young Now all these times are rearranged I look down and stand there and cry Nothing ever will be the same The sun is rising, now I ask why? The clouds now fall and here comes the rain 8: Road To Acceptance I always waste my time just wondering What the next man thinks of me I'll never do exactly what I want And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance I feel forgotten Feel like rotting (Do you feel the same) Adolescence Just can't make sense (It's calling my name) I take a look around And all the things I've found I call it blind hatred If you'd stop a while And maybe if you'd smile You would realize that We're all the same It's just like our brain When it goes insane We feel the same pain All my life I've seem to have this heed I think at times it even turns to greed We all want to join some family We'll even sacrifice a moral changing 9: Rest Hey can you hear me? I'm calling your name Hello? or is this goodbye? The gleam in your eyes It troubles my brain Will I see it again So I can rest my head Angel! Dancing away As all of my thoughts are rearranged Angel! turning away To have changed So I can rest my head 10: The Judge's Daughter Princess in a school girl's dream May I please speak with you I'm having troubles with control And it's all because of you Today I kept on falling down I thought it was the street So I look down at my shoes They were on the wrong feet I find it hard to be myself (Can you please exlain?) I do not think that it's my health (You're the one to blame) You're the one I wish I had And now my girlfriend is getting mad (I cannot call this sane) Today as I was walking down You bumped into me You said, "excuse me" and walked away As I dropped to my knees I prayed to the being in the sky That my parents told me of I asked about you but no reply No clues about your love My girlfriend left me on the phone I'm pathetically left here alone (I cannot call this sane) Can we find a way So that you can stay I think I'm gonna Pop 11: Paper Lanterns Now I rest my head from Such an endless dreary time A time of hopes + happiness That had you on my mind Those days are gone + now it seems As if I'll get some rest But now + then I'll see you again And it put's my heart to test So when are all my problems Going to end? I'm understanding now that We are only friends To this day I'm asking why I still think about you As the days go on I wonder (Will this ever end?) I find it hard to keep control When you're with your boyfriend I do not mind if all I am is Just a friend to you But all I want to know right now Is if you think about me too...? So when...(chorus) 12: Why Do You Want Him? I saw you standing alone with a sad look on your face You call him on the phone Looks like he left you without a trace Tears falling out of your eyes He's living in a disquise You've been feeling bad for so long You wonder if it's right or wrong Why do you want Him? Why do you want Him? Now many days have gone by And you still just sit there & cry You're feeling bad for yourself His memory will always dwell You're so obsessed with his love That's why push came to shove (Chorus) 13: 409 In Your Coffeemaker I sit in the state of a daydream With all of your words flying over my head Even more time gets wasted In a daze It should seem obvious to you Your screams and cries are never going to work And all of your time gets wasted In my daze And I'm looking back now At where I have gone wrong And why I could not seem to get along My interests are longing To break from these chains These chains that control My future's aim... I sit in the state of a daydream With all of your words flying over my head Even more time gets wasted In a daze Maybe I'm just too damn lazy Or maybe I was just brainwashed to think that way And all of your time gets wasted In my daze 14: Knowledge (used without permission! -this is from :ALTER, Finland, checked like 300 times) I know that things are getting tougher When you can't get the top off from the bottom of the barrel..! Wide open road of my future now It's looking fucking narrow! All I know is that I don't know nothin'. We get told to decide. Just like... as if.. I'm not going to change my mind. All I know is that I don't know nothing. Whatca gonna do with yourself boy.. better make up your mind! Whatca gonna do with yourself boy, You're running out of time. This time I got it all figured out... All I know is that I don't know nothing! And that's fine... 15: 1,000 Hours Starlit night -The moon shing bright, you are the one I heed Up at your window -I see a shadow...Silhouette of your grace Here's this flower I picked for all the hours That you've spent with me: The one I love, That I've been dreaming of Sailing across the sea... Let my hands flow through your hair. Moving closer -A kiss we'll share Passionate love to be all night long We'll never break, as one too strong Npthing's more that what our love is for As I kiss your cheek Oh so softly... Hands flowing down my back 1,000 hours, I'll never leave Our romance Is a love trance... And now we'll never part 1,000 hours Of such a love shower We'll never stop, once we start 16: Dry Ice Late last night I had a dream And she was in it again She and I were in the sky Flying hand in hand I woke up in a cold sweat Wishing she was by my side Praying that she'll dry fears Left on my face I've cried Oh I love her Keep dreaming of her Will I understand If she wants to be my friend I'll send a letter to that girl Asking her to be my own But my pen is writing wrong So I'll say it in a song Oh I love you more right now More than I've ever loved before Here's those words straight from these lips I'll need you forever more 17: Only Of You I wish I could tell you But the words would come out wrong Oh if you only knew The way I felt for so long I know that We're world's apart But I just don't seem to care These feelings in my heart Only with you I want to share The first time I caught a glimpse of you Then all my thoughts were only of you I hope that when time goes on You will think the same about me Many nights awake I lie I only wish that you could see I know that we're only friends I hope this feeling never ends If I could only hold you It's the only thing I want to do. 18: The One I Want Sitting in my room last night Staring at the mirror I couldn't find a reason why I couldn't be near her 'Cause you are the one that started To make me feel this way And every night I'm thinking About the words you say Pictures going through my mind When we're together All these long and sleepless nights Will I ever get better Now you know how I feel This love is forever You make my life seem so unreal Will I ever get better?... 19: I Want To Be Alone I lock myself inside my room I wanna be alone With you around, you'll only add on Just let me be alone with my thoughts Please don't think I'm crazy I don't want you to understand My mind is growing hazy To hell with your helping hand Why don't you just leave me alone This conflict is my own Keep your sources away from me Green Day - Dookie 1994 Green Day is: - Billy Joe: Vocals, guitar - Tre: Drums - Mike: Bass 1: Burnout 2: Having a blast 3: Chump 4: Longview 5: Welcome to paradise 6: Pulling teeth 7: Basket case 8: She 9: Sassafras roots 10: When I come around 11: Coming clean 12: Emenius sleepus 13: In the end 14: F.O.D. 1: Burnout I declare I don't care no more I'm 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 I'm not growing up, I'm just burning out And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead Apathy has rained on me Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream So close to drowning but I don't mind I've lived in this mental cave Throw emotions in the grave Hell, who needs them anyway 2: Having a blast I'm talking all you down with me Explosives duct taped to my spine Nothing gonna change my mind I won't listen to anyone's last words There's nothing left for you to say Soon you'll be dead anyway No one is getting out alive This time I've lost my mind and I don't care So close your eyes And kiss yourself goodbye And think about the times you spent and what they've meant To me it's nothing I'm losing all my happiness The happiness you pinned on my Loniliness still conforts me My anger dwells inside of me I'm taking it all out on you and all the shit you put me though 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 3: Chump I don't know you But I think I hate you You're the reason for my misery Strange how you've become my biggest enemy And I've never even seen your face Maybe it's just jealousy Mixing uo with violent mind A cicumstance that doesn't make much sense Or maybe I'm just dumb You're the cloud hanging out over my head Hail comes crashing down welting my face Magic ma, egocentric plastic man Yet you still got one over on me 4: Longview Sit around and watch the tube but, nothings on Change the channels for an hour of 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 fucking 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 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 fucking breaking 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 Slipping away to paradise Some say, "Quit or I'll go blind." But it's just a myth 5: Welcome to paradise Dear mother, can you hear me whining It's 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 I'm feeling so alone Pay attention to the cracked streets And broken homes Some call it the slums Some call it 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 I'm still here For some strange reason it's now Feeling like my home And I'm never gonna go Dear mother, can you hear me laughing It's been six whole months since I have left your home It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason it's now Feeling like my home And I'm never gonna go 6: Pulling teeth I'm all busted up Broken bones & nasty cuts Accidents will happen But this time I can't get up She comes to check on me making sure I'm on my knees After all she's the one who put me in this state Is she ultra-violent ? Is she disturbed ? I better tell her I love her Before she does it all over again Oh god, she's killing me !!! For now I'll lie around Hell, that's all I can really do She takes good care of me Just keep saying me love is true Looking out my window fo Someone that passing by No one knows I'm locked in here All I do is cry 7: Basket case 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 I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid ? I'm just stoned I went to a shrink To analyze my dreams She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down I went to a whore He said my life's a bore And quit my whining cause it's bringing her down Grasping to control So you better hold on 8: 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 use ? Scream at me until my ears bleed I'm taking heed just for you 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 9: Sassafras roots Roaming 'round your house Wasting your time No obligation just Wasting your time So why are you alone ? Wasting your time When you could be with me Wasting your time I'm a waste like you With nothing else to do May I waste your time too ? Warding off regrets Wasting your time Smoking cigarettes Wasting your time I'm just a parasite Wasting your time Applying myself to Wasting your time 10: When I come around I heard you crying loud all the way across town You've been searching for that someone and it's me out on the powl As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself Don't get lonely now Dry your whining eyes I'm just roaming for the moment Sleazin' my backyard so don't get so uptight you been thinking about ditching me No time to search the world around Cause you know where I'll be found When I come around I heard it all before So don't knock down my door I'm a loser and a user so to slag me down because I know I'm right So go do what you like Make sure you do it wise You may find out that your self doubt means nothing was ever there You can't go forcing something if it's just not right 11: Coming clean 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 I found out what it takes to be a man Mom and dad will never understand What's happening to me Seventeen and coming clean for the first time I finally figured out myself for the first time I found out what it takes to be a man Mom and dad will never understand What's happened to me 12: Emenius sleepus I saw my friend the other day and I don't know Exactly just what he became It goes to show It wasn't that long ago I was just like you And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home How have I been, how have you been It's been so long What have you done with all your time I knew you back when And you... you knew me And now I think you're sick I wanna go home Anybody ever say no ? Ever tell you that you weren't right ? Where did all the little kid go ? Did you lose it in a hatefull fight ? And you know it's true 13: In the end 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 you're all about And I don't think I like what I see SOOOOO... I hope I won't be there In the end if you come around How long will he last Before he's a creep in the past And you're alone once again ? Will you pop up again and be my "special friend" 'till the end ? And when will that be ? 14: F.O.D. Something's on my mind It's been quite some time This time I'm on to you So where's the other face ? The face I heard before Your head trip's boring me Let's nuke the bridge we torched 2000 times before This time we'll blast it all to hell I've had this burning in my guts now for so long My belly's aching now to say Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut A side of you well hid When it's all said and dome it's real and it's been fum But was it all real fun Write to Green Day at: GREEN DAY 5337 College Ave. Suite 555 Oakland, CA 94618 U.S.A.

I don't care There's a plague inside of me Eating at my disposition Nothing's left Torn out of reality Into a state of no opinion Limp with hate 9: Stuart and the Ave. Standing on the corner of Stuart and the Avenue Ripping up my transfer And a photograph of you You're a blur of my dead past and rotting existance As I stand laughing on the corner of insignificance Destiny is dead In the hands of bad luck Before it might have made some sense But now it's all fucked up Seasons change as well as minds And I'm a two faced clown You're mommy's little nightmare Driving daddy's car around I'm beat down and half brain dead The long lost king of fools I may be dumb But I'm not stupid enough to stay with you 10: Brain Stew I'm having trouble trying to sleep I'm counting sheep but running out As time ticks by And still I try No rest for crosstops in my mind On my own... here we go My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed Dried up and bulging out my skull My mouth is dry My face is numb Fucked up and spun out in my room On my own... here we go My mind is set on overdrive The clock is laughing in my face A crooked spine My sense dulled Passed the point of delerium On my own... here we go 11: Jaded Somebody keep my balance I think I'm falling off Into a state of regression The expiration date Rapidly coming up It's leaving me behind to rank Always move forward Going "straight" will get you nowhere There is no progress Evolution killed it all I found my place in nowhere I'm taking one step sideways Leading with my crutch Got a fucked up equilibrium Count down from 9 to 5 Hooray! We're gonna die! Blessed into our extinction 12: Westbound Sign Boxed up All of her favorite things Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale Big plans and leaving friends and A westbound sign Weighed out Her choices on a scale Prevailing nothing made sense Just transportation and a Blank decision... she's taking off No time and no copping out She's burning daylight and petrol Blacked out the rearview mirror Heading westward on Strung out On confusion road And ten minute nervous breakdowns Xanex a beer for thought And she determined... She's taking off Is it salvation? Or an escape from discontent? Will she find her name In the California cement? Punched out of the grind That punched her one too many times... Is tragedy 2000 miles away? She's taking off 13: Tight Wad Hill Cheapskate on the hill A thrill seeker making deals Sugar city urchin wasting time Town of lunatics Begging for another fix Turning tricks for speedballs One more night Making your rounds once again Turning up empty handed Bumming a ride Burning daylight Last up at dawn... tight wad hill Drugstore hooligan Another white trash mannequin On display to rot up on the hill Living out a lie But having the time of his life Hating every minute of his existance 14: Walking Contradiction Do as I say not as I do because The shit so deep you can't run away I beg to differ on the contrary I agree with every word that you say Talk is cheap and lies are expensive My wallet's fat and so is my head Hit and run and then I'll hit you again I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb Standards set and broken all the time Control the chaos behind a gun Call it as I see it even if I was born deaf, blind and dumb Losers winning big on the lottery Rehab rejects still sniffing glue Constant refutation with myself I'm a vicitm of a catch 22 I have no belief But I believe I'm a walking contradiction And I ain't got no right
