Green Day: Bullet in a Bible Page #3

---

Suicide commando that your momma talked about

King of the forty thieves

And I'm here to represent

The needle in the vein of the establishment

I'm the patron saint of the denial

With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

England!

Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope

I am the son of a b*tch and Edgar Allen Poe

Raised in the city under a halo of lights

The product of war and fear that we've been victimized

I'm the patron saint of the denial

With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?

ST. JIMMY!

Let's go!

My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun

I'm the one that's from the way outside

I'm a teenage assassin executing some fun

In the cult of the life of crime.

I really hate to say it but I told you so

So shut your mouth before I shoot you down ol' boy

Welcome to the club and give me some blood

And the resident leader at the lost and found.

EVERYBODY:

It's comedy and tragedy

It's St. Jimmy

And that's my nameeeeeee...

And don't you f***ing

wear it out!

Yeah, I mean, we were just approached

to play Milton Keynes.

They told us how many people

it was gonna be in front of.

At that point,

we had played arenas before,

you know, we were nervous

about filling a place like that.

We didn't know what people

were gonna think of us.

With Milton Keynes,

all this touring had been leading up

to the eventual playing

of stadiums for us.

These were like our first

two huge stadium shows.

We're looking at 65,000

people two days in a row

and sold out way in advance,

so we know they're gonna be exciting.

Is playing 60,000 people,

does it feel different than 15,000?

I think a lot of bands

have a problem with

is playing in front

of that many people

and trying to create intimacy,

and when you play

in front of that many people,

you don't try

to create intimacy.

You try to create an event. You try

to create a spectacle or a splash.

It's about just having

something that's massive.

This is the biggest gig pretty much

in the history of punk rock.

We're aware of it,

and we don't take it lightly whatsoever.

We're gonna play

for 65,000 of our fans.

And then do it again

the next day.

in two days.

- Is England important to you?

- I think when a band makes it-

when an English band

makes it in the United States,

they feel like

they've really made it,

and when an American band

makes it in England,

they feel like

they've really f***ing made it.

To have such a historical

monumental point

in Green Day's career,

being in England,

it was an honour, really.

I get nervous

before every show.

I've always said it.

People always go, "Oh, no, you don't."

One of the worst things

I hate hearing-

I actually just told

my girlfriend to say that.

I'm like, "Don't say that 'cause I'm

really nervous," and they always go,

"You always do great."

I'm like...

We're ready to go on now.

Thank you.

I'll be here all night.

You go into a song

like "Longview,"

and you look into the crowd

and as many people know it,

there's a lot of new faces

that are kind of like, "What's this?"

And that was the point

where I knew that we had-

we had gotten out of that

shadow of "Dookie" entirely.

We're a whole 'nother

place, you know,

and I think at this point, Green Day is

synonymous with good music.

Alright!

Sit around and watch the tube,but nothing's on

Change the channels for an hour or two

Come on!

Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit

Go!

I'm sick of all the same old sh*t

In a house with unlocked doors

And I'm f***ing lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND!!!

And I smell like sh*t

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving

I sure as hell can't do it by myself

Alright!

I'm feeling like a DOG IN HEA

Barred indoors from the summer street

I locked the door to MY OWN CELL

And I lost the key

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND!!!

And I smell like sh*t

I GOT NO MOTIVATION

WHERE IS MY MOTIVATION

NO TIME FOR THE MOTIVATION

SMOKING MY INSPIRATION

England!

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 SHE'S got

Go!

When masturbation's lost its fun

You're f***ing lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn BORED

I'm going blind

And loneliness has to suffice

Bite my lip and close my eyes

I was slipping away to paradise

Some say,"Quit or I'll go BLIND."

But it's just a myth

Hardest-working band

in rock ever.

So hot.

Mmm, dirty.

I really like that.

It's all good.

They're gonna be all backwards

and stuff when I'm done with them.

Mmm. Mmm.

Mmm.

This one's my favourite.

There's gonna be

front truss fireworks

that fire off from the top

over the roof.

- Good job!

- You did good.

- That's good. I like it!

- You did good.

Good explaining.

That was good explaining,

Bill Schneider.

Yeah, coffee for six

and a latte as well.

No, a latte-

caffe latte as well.

Yes.

- What's up, Ringo?

- Thank you very much.

Yeah, right.

Give me another cig.

Some more

of that sweet wine, mate.

You like that, b*tch?

No man can eat 50 eggs.

Alright, England!

Hey mister, where you headed?

Are you in a hurry?

I need a lift to happy hour

Say oh no.

Do you brake for distilled spirits?

I need a break as well

The well that inibriates the guilt.

Cold turkey's getting stale

Tonight I'm eating crow

Fermented salmonella poison oak, no

There's a drought at the fountain of youth,

and now I'm dehydrating

My tongue is swelling up,

as say 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

Troubled times, you know I can not lie

I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride

Alright, England!

Well say, "Hey oh!"

Come on!

Hey oh!

Well, say "Hey, hey!"

Hey, hey!

I said hey oh!

Hey oh!

I said hey, hey!

Hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...

Now that's how you do it

in England, baby!

I said a-one, a-two,

a-one, two, three, four.

Alright!

- I said ah!

- Ah.

- I said oh!

- Oh!

- I said ooh!

- Ooh!

- I said whoo! I say whoo!

- Whoo! Whoo!

- I say whoo!

- Whoo!

- I say hey-oh!

- Hey-oh!

- I said ahh.

- Ahh.

Ohh!

Ohhh!

Ohh! Ohh!

Oh! Oh!

Somebody f*** me!

Are you ready?

Hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey.

One, two-

one, two, three, four.

One, two-

one, two, three, four.

- One, two- one, two, three, four.

- And stop!

Now you sound like

you're f***ing ready!

This is what I need.

This is what

it's gonna take.

This is what it's gonna take.

I need every single person

here at Milton Keynes

to freak out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

But first, I need everyone here

at Milton Keynes

to scream, "One, two-

one, two, three, four."

You ready?
