Armatage shanks / Green day (Insomniac)

Stranded ... lost inside myself
My own worst friend
My own closest enemy
Branded ... Maladjusted

Never trusted anyone
Let alone yself
I must insist
On being a pessimist

I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
Elected the rejected
I prefected the science of the idiot

No meaning ... no healing
Self loathing freak and introverted
Deviot

-------------------------------------------------------
Brat / Green day (Insomniac)

Mom and dad don't look so hot these days
They're getting over the hill
Death is closing in and catching up
As far as I can tell
Got a plan of action and cold blood
And it smells of defiance
I'll just wait for mom and dad to die
And get my inheritance

Now I want more
'Cause I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast

I was once filled with doubt
Now it's all figured out
Nothing good can last
Crows feet and rot are setting in
And time is running out
My parent's income interest rate
Is gaining higher clout

I'm a snot nosed slob
Without a job
And I know I damn well should

Mom and dad don't look so hot these days
But my future's looking good

-------------------------------------------------------
Stuck with me / Green day (Insomniac)

I'm not past of your elite
I'm just alright
Class structure waving colors
Bleeding from my throat
Not subservient to you I'm just alright
Down classed by the powers that be
Give me loss of hope

Cast out ... buried in a hole
Struck down ... forcing me to fall
Destroyed ... giving up the fight

I know I'm not alright
What's my price and will you pay it
If it's alright?
Take it from my dignity
Waste it until it's dead
Throw me back into the gutter
'Cause it's alright

Find another pleasure fucker
Drag them down to hell

-------------------------------------------------------
Geek stink breath / Green day (Insomniac)

I'm on a mission
I made my decision
To lead a path of self-destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth

I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with
Weth amphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
Every hour my blood is turning sour

And my pulse is beating out of time

I found a treasure
Filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thick white line
I'm on a mission
I got no decision like a cripple
Running the rat race
Wish in one hand and shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first

-------------------------------------------------------
Stuart and the ave. / Green day (Insomniac)

Standing on the corner of
Stuart and the ave.Ripping up my transfer
And a photograph of you
You're a blur of my dead past and rotting existence
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

-------------------------------------------------------
86 / Green day (Insomniac)

What brings you around?
Did you lose something the last time you were here?
You'll never find it now

It's buried deep with your identity
So stnd aside and let the next one pass
Don't let the door kick you in the ass

There's no return from 86
Don't even try

Exit out the back
And never show your head around again
Purchase your ticket and
Quickly take the last train
Out of town

-------------------------------------------------------
Panic song / Green day (Insomniac)

Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self destruction
Widespread panic
Broken glass inside my head
Blessing down these thoughts of
Anguish ... mass confusion
The world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with ... 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

-------------------------------------------------------
No pride / Green day (Insomniac)

I'm just a mutt
And nowhere is my home
Where dignity's a land mine
In the school of lost hope

I've panhandled for life because
I'm not affraid to beg
Hand me down your lost and founds
Of second hand regret

You better swallow your pride
Or you're gonna choke on it
You better digest your values
Because they turn to shit

Honor's gonna knock you down
Before your chance to stand up and fight
I know I'm not the one
I got no pride
Sects of disconnection
And traditions of lost faith
No culture's worth a stream of piss
Or a bullet in my face

To hell with unity
Separation's gonna kill us all
Torn to shreds and disjointed
Before the final fall

-------------------------------------------------------
Brain stew / Green day (Insomniac)

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 going to bleed
Dried up and bulging out of 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 delirium

On my own ... here we go

-------------------------------------------------------
Jaded / Green day (Insomniac)

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

-------------------------------------------------------
Westbound sign / Green day (Insomniac)

Boxed upAll 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
No time and no copping out
She's burning daylight and petrol
Blacked out the rear view mirror
Heading westward on
Strung out
On confusion road
And ten minute nervous breakdowns
Xanex a beer for thought
And she's 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

-------------------------------------------------------
Tight wad hill / Green day (Insomniac)

Cheapskate on the hill
A thrill seaker 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
Aonther 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

-------------------------------------------------------
Walking contradiction / Green day (Insomniac)

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 victim of a catch 22
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right

-------------------------------------------------------
Bab's Uvula who? / Green day (Insomniac)

I've got a knack for fucking everything up
My temper flies and I get myself all wound up
My fuse is short and my blood pressure is high
I lose control and I get myself all wound up
Tension mounts and I fly off the wall
I self-destruct and I get myself all wound up
Petulance and irritation sets in
I throw a tantrum and I get myself all wound up
Chip on my shoulder and a leach on my back
Stuck in a rut and I get myself all wound up
Killed my composure and it will never come back
Loss of control and I get myself all wound up
Blown out of proportion again
My temper snaps and I get myself all wound up
Spontaneuos combustion
Panic attack
I slipped a gear and I get myself all wound up

-------------------------------------------------------
Burnout / Green day (Dookie)

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

-------------------------------------------------------
Having a blast / Green day (Dookie)

I'm taking all you down with me
Explosives duct taped to 
  my spine
Nothing's 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
Lonelyness still comforts me
My anger dwells inside of me
I'm taking it all out on you
  and all the shit you put
  me through
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 take one problem that
  adds up to nothing

-------------------------------------------------------
Chump / Green day (Dookie)

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 ever seen
  your face

Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixing up with a violent
  mind
A circumstance that doesn't
  make much sense
Or maybe I'm just bumb

You're the cloud haning out
  over my head
Hail comes crashing down
  wetting my face
Magic man, egocentric
  plastic man
Yet you still got one over
  on me

-------------------------------------------------------
Longview / Green day (Dookie)

Sit around and watch the
  tube but, nothing on
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 fucking lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damned 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 doors to
  my own cell
And I lost the key

I got no motivation
Where is my motivation
No time for motivation
Smoking my inspiration

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's she got
When masturbation's lost
  it's fun
You're fucking breaking

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damned bored I'm
  going blind
And lonelyness 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

-------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to paradise / Green day (Dookie)

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 atention 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 I'm 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

-------------------------------------------------------
Pulling teeth / Green day (Dookie)

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 my love
  is true

Looking out my window for
Someone that's passing by
No one knows I'm
  locked in here
All I do is cry

-------------------------------------------------------
Basket case / Green day (Dookie)

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

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

Grasping to control
So you better hold on

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

-------------------------------------------------------
She / Green day (Dookie)

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 fool without a 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

-------------------------------------------------------
Sassafras roots / Green day (Dookie)

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

-------------------------------------------------------
When I come around / Green day (Dookie)

I heard you crying loud
  all the way across town
You've been searching for
  that someone and it's me
  out on the prowl
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 back yard so
  don't get so uptight you
  been thinking about
  ditching me

No time to search the world
  around
Cause you'll 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
  I don't need no accuser
  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

-------------------------------------------------------
Coming clean / Green day (Dookie)

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 came 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

-------------------------------------------------------
Emenius sleepus / Green day (Dookie)

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
And what went wrong

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 were'nt
  right?
Where did all the little kid go?
Did you lose it in a hatefull
  fight?
And you know it's true

-------------------------------------------------------
In the end / Green day (Dookie)

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?

-------------------------------------------------------
F.O.D. / Green day (Dookie)

Something's on my mind
It's been for 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
2,000 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 done
  it's real and it's been fun
But was it all real fun
