Dreamin', I was only dreamin'
of another place in time where my family's from
Singin', I can hear them singin'
when the rain has washed away all these scattered dreams
Dyin', everyone's reminded
Hearts are washed in misery, drenched in gasoline
Laughter, there is no more laughter
songs of yesterday now live in the underground

Life before the lobotomy
Christian sang the eulogy
Signed, "My love", a lost memory
From the end of the century

Well, it's enough to make you sick
To cast a stone and throw a brick
But when the sky is falling down
You burned your dreams into the ground

Christian's lesson's what he's been sold
We are normal and self-controlled
Remember to learn and to forget
Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes

Well, I'm not stoned, I'm just fucked up
I got so high I can't stand up
Well, I'm not cursed 'cause I've been blessed
I'm not in love 'cause I'm a mess

Like refugees
We're lost like refugees
Like refugees
We're lost like refugees
The brutality of reality
Is the freedom that keeps me from

Dreamin', I was only dreamin'
of another place in time where my family's from
Singin', I can hear them singin'
when the rain has washed away all these scattered dreams
Dyin', everyone's reminded
Hearts are washed in misery, drenched in gasoline
Laughter, there is no more laughter
songs of yesterday now live in the underground
--Green Day, 2009

Cue Holiday!
