fill the void? #

# Am I retarded or am I just

overjoyed? #

# Nobody's perfect and I stand

accused #

# For lack of a better word,

and that's my best excuse #

# To live and not to breathe #

# Is to die in tragedy #

# To run, to run away #

# To find what you believe #

# And I leave behind #

# This hurricane of f***ing

lies #

# I lost my faith to this #

# This town that don't exist #

# So I run, I run away #

# To the lights of masochists #

# And I leave behind #

# This hurricane of f***ing

lies #

# And I walked this line #

# A million and one f***ing

times #

# But not this time #

# I don't feel any shame,

I won't apologize #

# When there ain't nowhere

you can go #

# Running away from pain when

you've been victimized #

# Tales from another broken

home #

# You're leaving,

You're leaving #

# You're leaving #

# Ah you're leaving home #

Well that's one song. [LAUGHTER]

Tre's got the mallets out.

-It's week one, can you give me

a whole recap of what happened

this week?

In song?

# First we had a fire #

# Then ghosts knocked the

speaker down #

# Then I got a muffin for

breakfast #

# And I couldn't choke it down #

# Down, down #

# Then I woke up #

# And Kenny's nuts were in my

mouth #

# T-baggin' a dude #

# Who went to sleep with his

shoes on ain't right #

Look fellas, I broke my first

pedal.

Today.

Found a design flaw in the old

DW equipment.

..like if you're a kid and you

want to drink

it shouldn't be "Don't drink"

-Oh I know. -It should be

"Don't drink MY SH*T!"

-Yeah

-This is how they do it to kids,

they got to teach kids how to

drink responsibly.

Cause that's what they do in

Europe, you know?

They should do like "Ok, alright

"You need to drink water in

between if you're gonna drink

"Enjoy your buzz, don't get

just f***in' shitfaced."

Right now I'm gonna teach kids

how to drink responsibly.

This goes to everyone from the..

what's the average age

where kids start to drink,

about 14?

-4th grade [LAUGHTER]

No, I mean like.. I'm gonna say

8th grade.

-7th -7th and 8th graders,

since you are gonna drink..

-Drink Guinness!

-This is what you do.

Ok, for those of you who want

to start with beer,

it's probably gonna taste a bit

nasty.

So, and don't worry about all

the kids

that are the jocks that are

sayin'

"Oh you p*ssy, you can't

f***in' drink that much, haha"

You gotta drink one beer,

nurse it for a long time, enjoy

the flavor,

then drink some water,

make sure you buy

a 6 pack of water every time you

buy a 6 pack of beer, so water

per beverage.

-Or be near a sink so you can

drink the water out of it.

-It is, isn't it? -I wish I was

doing that, because

the first time I got wasted I

drank

18 cans of Stroh's. [LAUGHTER]

-I'll never forget it.

-Oh yeah you puke for a good 3

or 4 hours.

-Sroh's will make you puke

black!

-Oh yeah I was puking then I

started drinking again

and puking and I left a full

one..

here's my advice, before you

pass out

open one up and leave it in the

refrigerator

and the next morning it'll be

flat and really cold

so that'll get rid of your

hangover immediately

just.. gone. Oh yeah, it's

great.

-Thanks dad.

-So kids, when you get really

hungover

drink some more.

It gives Billy that medieval

look.

-Or that network look, stop it!

People are gonna figure it out.

What? My evil look?

-No, medieval -Medieval?

In the days of yore.

Ok, you wanna see my f***in'

"I'm psycho" look?

Ok, you wanna see my "I wanna

f***in' f*** you"

How about "It's a happy day

today"

-All your looks are the same!

Welcome back to part 5 of the

history of Green Day.

The year was 2004, the year of

the American Idiot, a

masterpiece.

Let's wake the boys up and ask

them a few questions, shall we?

Billy is it fair to say that

American Idiot was a concept

record?

Well, when Led Zeppelin did Dark

Side of the Moon,

I was just thinking, "We have

to be able to get

"on that level, something more

monumental"

-Tre, why don't you tell us

about the song Holiday?

Um..

Uh.. I dunno.

-Want another one? [LAUGHTER]

a different song? [LAUGHTER]

Shush!

Mike can you tell us about the

song Holiday?

Well.. [LAUGHTER]

-You're fired.

-It's a tough question.

-Do you guys have an aversion to

talking about the song Holiday

for some reason?

-No -No, not at all

-Well, why don't one of you

tell us about

September Song, it's a very

moving, very sad song.

Um, well Holiday.. [LAUGHTER]

That didn't work did it?

[LAUGHTER]

The Italian version. [LAUGHTER]

Triplets Rob, triplets!

Alright, let's go.

It's hard to go into new places,

just because you're so familiar

with

what you know in anything, if

you

get into what you don't know

then that's when things get

scary,

but exciting at the same time,

so I think any time you write a

song that's like..

You're nervous about, and

excited about at the same time,

I think you're on to something

new, pretty much.

Like the sound of Boulevard of

Broken Dreams.

# I walk a.. #

-It's too fast!

What's that?

-There's no way that changed,

unless that's digital..

-Yeah yeah.. -But he starts it

to it, it'll be ok.

Alright, turn it off.

# I walk a lonely road #

# The only one that I have ever

known #

# 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 #

Turn the tremolo down a little

bit still, Bill.

# 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 #

# 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 f***ed 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 #

# I walk alone, I walk a #

[CHEERING]

We got it.

# 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 #

[CHEERING]

Alright.

The weather in the bay area

and every where up here is nice,

but once you get past June..

[FARTS]

it's a little bit rainy, up til

like

-maybe August, September

and then the rest, but basically

it hardly ever rains there.

[FARTS] And the weather's

almost perfect the whole year

round.

-Geez, I'm a little close, I

gotta climb outta this.

-Now that I did it again.. I

think it crashed your computer.

-The computer farted.

-I was swimming on the beach at
