GREEN DAY - American Eulogy lyrics
rate me<BR>
<i>[XIII American Eulogy]</i><br>
<br>
Sing us a song of the century<br>
It sings like American Eulogy<br>
The dawn of my love and conspiracy<br>
Forgotten hope and the class of 13<br>
Tell me a story into that goodnight<br>
Sing us a song for me<br>
<br>
<i>[A. Mass Hysteria]</i><br>
<br>
Hysteria, mass hysteria!<br>
Mass hysteria!<br>
Mass hysteria!<br>
Mass hysteria!<br>
<br>
Red alert is the colour of panic<br>
Elevated to the point of static<br>
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics<br>
And the neighborhood's a loaded gun<br>
Idle thought lead to full-throttle screaming<br>
And the wellfare is asphyxiating<br>
Mass confusion is all the new age and it's creating a feeding ground for the bottom feeders of hysteria<br>
<br>
Hysteria, mass hysteria!<br>
Mass hysteria!<br>
Mass hysteria!<br>
Mass hysteria!<br>
<br>
True sounds of manacial laughter<br>
And the deafmute is misleading the choir<br>
The punchline is a natural disaster<br>
And it's sung by the unemployed<br>
Fight fire with a riot<br>
The class war is hanging on a wire because the martyr is a compulsive liar<br>
When he said "it's just a bunch of niggers throwing gas into the ...."<br>
<br>
Hysteria, mass hysteria!<br>
Mass hysteria!<br>
Mass hysteria!<br>
Mass hysteria!<br>
<br>
There's a disturbance on the oceanside<br>
They tapped into the reserve<br>
The static response is so unclear now<br>
Mayday this is not a test!<br>
As the neighborhood burns, America is falling<br>
Vigilantes warning ya,<br>
calling christian and gloria<br>

<i>[B. Modern World]</i><br>
<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
<br>
I'm a fugitive son<br>
In the era of dissent<br>
A hostage of the soul<br>
On a strike to pay the rent<br>
The last of the rebels<br>
Without a common ground<br>
I'm gonna light a fire into the underground<br>
<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
<br>
I am a nation without bureaucratic lies<br>
Deny the allegation as it's written (fucking lies!)<br>
<br>
I want to take a ride to the great divide<br>
Beyond the "up to date" and the neo-gentrified<br>
The high definition for the low resident<br>
Where the value of your mind is not held in contempt<br>
I can hear the sound of a beating heart<br>
That bleeds beyond a system that's falling apart<br>
With money to burn on a minimum wage<br>
I don't give a shit about the modern age<br>
<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world!<br>
<br>
I don't wanna live in the modern world! (Mass hysteria!)<br>
