[al:American Idiot]
[00:00.000] Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia
[00:00.490] Part I
[00:02.170] I'm the son of rage and love
[00:05.210] The Jesus of suburbia
[00:07.110] From the bible of none of the above
[00:10.040] On a steady diet of
[00:15.330] Soda pop and Ritalin
[00:18.990] No one ever died for my sins in hell
[00:21.670] As far as I can tell
[00:23.300] At least the ones I got away with
[00:26.730] And there's nothing wrong with me
[00:30.070] This is how I'm supposed to be
[00:33.380] In a land of make believe
[00:36.130] That don't believe in me
[00:45.440] Get my television fix
[00:48.650] sitting on my crucifix
[00:50.290] A living room on my private womb
[00:53.440] While the moms and brads are away
[00:58.750] To fall in love and fall in debt
[01:02.030] To alcohol and cigarettes
[01:03.690] And mary jane
[01:05.050] To keep me insane
[01:06.570] Doing someone else's cocaine
[01:10.140] And there's nothing wrong with me
[01:13.500] This is how I'm supposed to be
[01:16.840] In a land of make believe
[01:19.600] That don't believe in me
[01:52.550] Part II: City of the Damned
[01:56.550] At the center of the Earth
[01:58.150] In the parking lot
[01:59.740] Of the 7-11 were I was taught
[02:04.800] The motto was just a lie
[02:09.080] It says home is where your heart is
[02:10.990] But what a shame
[02:12.340] Cause everyone's heart
[02:13.880] Doesn't beat the same
[02:17.540] It's beating out of time
[02:22.870] City of the dead
[02:25.740] At the end of another lost highway
[02:29.250] Signs misleading to nowhere
[02:35.520] city of the damned
[02:38.490] Lost children with dirty faces today
[02:42.070] Noone really seems to care
[02:47.460] I read the graffiti
[02:48.770] In the bathroom stall
[02:50.470] Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
[02:55.410] And so it seemed to confess
[03:00.050] It didn't say much
[03:01.280] But it only confirmed that
[03:03.140] The center of the earth
[03:04.530] Is the end of the world
[03:08.110] And I could really careless
[03:13.430] City of the dead
[03:16.320] At the end of another lost highway
[03:19.820] Signs misleading to nowhere
[03:26.150] city of the damned
[03:29.130] Lost children with dirty faces today
[03:32.610] Noone really seems to careeeeee
[03:40.770] HEY!
[03:45.150] Part III: I don't care
[03:49.150] I don't care if you don't
[03:51.280] I don't care if you don't
[03:53.180] I don't care if you don't care
[03:57.260] I don't care if you don't
[03:59.340] I don't care if you don't
[04:01.140] I don't care if you don't care
[04:05.300] I don't care if you don't
[04:07.240] I don't care if you don't
[04:09.250] I don't care if you don't care
[04:13.380] I don't care if you don't
[04:15.240] I don't care if you don't
[04:17.300] I don't care if you don't care
[04:21.290] I don't careeeeeeeeee
[04:33.270] Everyone's so full of shit
[04:35.830] Born and raised by hypocrits
[04:38.520] Hearts recycled but never saved
[04:41.190] From the cradle to the grave
[04:43.900] We are the kids of war and peace
[04:46.610] From Anaheim to the Middle East
[04:49.290] We are the stories and disciples of
[04:52.030] The Jesus of suburbia
[04:55.100] Land of make believe
[04:56.850] And it don't believe in me
[04:59.840] Land of make believe
[05:02.540] And I don't believe
[05:04.770] And I don't care!
[05:07.360] I don't care!
[05:10.320] I don't care!
[05:12.740] I don't care!
[05:15.410] I don't care!
[05:20.670] Part IV: Dearly Beloved
[05:24.670] Dearly beloved are you listening?
[05:30.010] I can't remember a word that you were saying
[05:35.240] Are we demented or am I disturbed?
[05:40.690] The space that's in between insane and insecure
[05:56.960] Oh therapy' can you please fill the void?
[06:02.240] Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
[06:07.650] Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
[06:13.050] For lack of a better word'
[06:14.990] and that's my best excuse
[06:34.540] Part V: Tales of Another Broken Home
[06:38.540] To live and not to breathe
[06:43.270] Is to die in tragedy
[06:48.160] To run' to run away
[06:53.100] To find what you believe
[06:58.160] And I leave behind
[07:03.010] This hurricane of fucking lies
[07:07.880] I lost my faith to this
[07:12.460] This town that don't exist
[07:17.590] So I run
[07:19.580] I run away
[07:22.640] The light of masochist
[07:27.550] And I leave behind
[07:32.180] This hurricane of fucking lies
[07:37.290] And I walked this line
[07:42.200] A million and one fucking times
[07:46.360] But not this time
[08:22.190] I don't feel any shame
[08:24.210] I won't apologize
[08:27.580] When there ain't nowhere you can go
[08:33.240] Running away from pain
[08:35.190] When you've been victimized
[08:38.870] Tales from another broken HOME
[08:46.900] You're leaving...
[08:49.290] You're leaving...
[08:51.640] You're leaving...
[08:54.100] Ah you're leaving home...
[09:04.750] END
