Green Day

 
Egy kaliforniai punk-rock együttes, mely 1986-ban alakult meg. Tagjai: Billie Joe Armstrong,, Tré Cool, Mike Dirnt, Jason White, Jason Freese, Mike Pelino, Ronnie Blake.
Billie Joe Armstrong és Mike Dirnt 1986-ban mindössze tizennégy évesen alapították meg a Sweet Children együttest. Első fellépésük 1986. október 17-én volt Vallejoban, Kalifornia államban.
1990-ben az együttes úgy döntött, hogy a Sweet Childrent Green Day-re keresztelik át. Ebben az évben csatlakozott a bandához John Kiffmeyer a dobos.
Nem sokkal az első album után Kiffmeyer távozott az együttesből, helyette Tré Cool került.
 

Basket case

 
Do you have the time?
To listen to me whine
About nothin' 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 addin' up
I think I'm crackin' up
And am I just paranoid?
Am I just stoned?
 
Yea, I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringin' me down
 
And I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So I quit my whinin'
'Cause it's bringin' her down
 
Sometimes I give
Myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind
Plays tricks on me
 
It all keeps addin' up
I think I'm crackin' up
And am I just paranoid?
Ah, yea, yea, yea
 
Go, go
Grasping to control
So I better hold on
 
Sometimes I give
Myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind
Plays tricks on me
 
It all keeps addin' up
And I think I'm crackin' up
And am I just paranoid?
Am I just stoned?

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

 
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known.
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone.
 
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams.
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone.
I walk alone,
I walk alone.
I walk alone,
I walk a...
 
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone 
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah, a-ah, a-ah, a-ah...
 
I'm walking down the line 
That divides me somewhere in my mind 
On the border line of the edge 
And where I walk alone 
Read between the lines of what's 
Fucked up and everything's alright 
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive 
And I walk alone 

I walk alone 
I walk alone 
I walk alone 
I walk a 

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me 
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating 
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me 
Til then I walk alone
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah, a-ah, a-ah, a-ah...
 
I walk alone 
I walk a 

I walk this empty street 
On the boulevard of broken dreams 
Where the city sleeps 
And I'm the only one and I walk a 

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me 
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating 
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me 
Til then I walk alone...
