GREEN DAY AMERICAN EULOGY LYRICS


AMERICAN EULOGY LYRICS by GREEN DAY:
From Green Day's new album, 21st Century Breakdown)


[I. Mass Hysteria]  
 
Sing us the song of the century  
That sings like American Eulogy  
The dawn of my love and conspiracy  
Of forgotten hope and the class of 13  
Tell me a story into that goodnight  
Sing us a song for me  
 
Mass hysteria  
Mass hysteria  
Mass hysteria  
Mass hysteria  
 
Red alert is the color of panic  
Elevated to the point of static  
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics  
And the neighborhood's a loaded gun  
Idle thought leads to full-throttle screaming  
And the welfare is asphyxiating  
Mass confusion is all the new rage  
And it's creating a feeding ground  
For the bottom feeders of hysteria  
 
Mass hysteria  
Mass hysteria  
Mass hysteria  
Mass hysteria  
 
True sounds of maniacal laughter  
And the deaf-mute is misleading the choir  
The punchline is a natural disaster  
And it's sung by the unemployed  
Fight fire with a riot  
The class war is hanging on a wire  
Because the martyr is a compulsive liar  
When he said  
"It's just a bunch of niggers throwing gas into the hysteria"  
 
Mass hysteria  
Mass hysteria  
Mass hysteria  
Mass hysteria  
 
There's a disturbance on the oceanside  
They tapped into the reserve  
The static response is so unclear now  
Mayday, this is not a test!  
As the neighborhood burns, America is falling  
Vigilantes warning you  
Calling Christian and Gloria  
 
 
[II. Modern World]  
[ American Eulogy lyrics from
http://www.lyricsyoulove.com/g/green_day/american_eulogy/ ]
 
I don't want to live in the modern world  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
 
I'm the class of 13  
In the era of dissent  
A hostage of the soul  
On a strike to pay the rent  
The last of the rebels  
Without a common ground  
I'm gonna light a fire  
Into the underground  
 
I don't want to live in the modern world  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
 
I am a nation  
Without bureaucratic ties  
Deny the allegation as it's written  
 
I want to take a ride to the great divide  
Beyond the "up to date"  
And the neo-gentrified  
The high definition for the low resident  
Where the value of your mind  
Is not held in contempt  
I can hear the sound of  
A beating heart  
That bleeds beyond a system  
That's falling apart  
With money to burn  
On minimum wage  
'Cause I don't give a shit  
About the modern age  
 
I don't want to live in the modern world  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
Mass hysteria  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
Mass hysteria  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
Mass hysteria  
I don't want to live in the modern world  
Mass hysteria
