out

and you know, but at the same

time

I think there's something, like

when you write something that's

a sad song

I think we have, the way our

music is,

it becomes uplifting sometimes.

[LAUGHTER]

I gotcha.

No problem! YEAH!

-Wait, where's that sampling

keyboard?

YEAH!

Yeah, there you go!

[REPLAYS YEAH IN

DIFFERENT TONALITIES]

Sounds like a cow.

[YEAH, YEAH, YEAH]

[LAUGHTER]

See, I don't even have to do it

anymore

I could just say something, and

Just be like.. [YEEEAAAAAHHHH]

[YEEAAAH]

[LAUGHTER]

Mmhmm..

You know what's good about

being, like

remember when I told you about

doing

some kind of acapella intro to

um..

to right before the Death of St.

Jimmy?

-Oh yeah.

I have this one song that I

only like

the beginning part of it.

It's that one that

# My heart is beat.. #

# My heart is beating from me #

# I'm standing all alone #

# Please call me only if you

are coming home #

# Waste another year flies by #

# Waste a night or two #

# You taught me how to live #

I came into the studio one day,

nobody was around so I decided

to write this 30 second song.

And everyone came back to the

studio

and Billy heard it and was like

"Oh that sounds great, I wanna

do one!"

so then he connected one to it.

Threw the ball to Tre, Tre

connected one,

and through the course of like

a week

it ended up being this 10 and a

half minute thing

which most of it ended up

becoming Homecoming on the

record.

# ..seeds of the last of the

dope #

# There's a glow of light #

# The St. Jimmy is the spark in

the night #

# Bearing gifts and trust #

# The fixture in the city of

lust #

# What the hells your name #

# What's your pleasure and

what's your pain? #

# Do you dream too much? #

# Do you think what you need is

a crutch? #

# In the crowd of pain #

# St. Jimmy comes without any

shame #

# He says "We're f***ed up",

but we're not the same #

# And mom and dad are the ones

you can blame #

" Jimmy died today #

# He blew his brains out into

the bay #

# In the state of mind #

# That's my own private suicide #

# And nobody cares,

and nobody cares #

# Does anyone care if

nobody cares? #

# And nobody cares,

and nobody cares #

# Does anyone care if

nobody cares? #

# Jesus is filling out

paperwork now #

# At the facility on

east 12th street #

# He's not listening

to a word now #

# He's in his own world #

# And he's daydreaming #

# He'd rather be doing

something else now #

# Like cigarettes and coffee

with the underbelly #

# His life's on the line with

anxiety now #

# And she had enough, and he

had plenty #

# Somebody get me out of here #

# Anybody get me out of here #

# Somebody get me out of here #

# Get me the f***

right out of here #

# So far away #

# I don't want to stay #

# Get me outta here right now #

# I just wanna be free #

# Is there a possibility #

# Get me out of here right now #

# This life like dream

ain't for me #

# 3,4! #

# I fell asleep while

watching Spike TV #

# After 10 cups of coffee #

# And you're still not here #

# Dreaming of a song #

# When something went wrong #

# But I can't tell anyone #

# 'Cause no one's here #

# Left me here alone #

# When I should have stayed

home #

# After 10 cups of coffee #

# I'm thinking #

# Where'd you go? #

# Nobody likes you #

# Everyone left you #

# They're all out without you #

# Havin' fun #

# Everyone left you #

# Nobody likes you #

# They're all out without you #

# Havin' fun #

# Where'd you go? #

# I got a rock and roll band #

# I got a rock and roll life #

# I got a rock and roll

girlfriend #

# And another ex-wife #

# I got a rock and roll house #

# I got a rock and roll car #

# I play the sh*t out the drums #

# And I can play the guitar #

# I got a kid in New York #

# I got a kid in the Bay #

# I haven't drank or smoked

nothin' #

# In over 22 days #

# So get off of my case #

# Off of my case #

# Hey! #

# Here they come marching down

the street #

# Like a desperation murmur of

a heart beat #

# Coming back from the edge of

town #

# Underneath their feet #

# The time has come and it's

going nowhere #

# Nobody ever said that life

was fair now #

# Go-carts and guns are

treasures they will bear #

# In the summer heat #

# The world is spinning around

and around #

# Out of control again #

# From the 7-11 to the fear of

breaking down #

# So send my love a letterbomb #

# And visit me in hell #

# We're the ones going #

# Home #

# We're coming home again #

# Home #

# We're coming home again #

# I started f***in' running #

# As soon as my feet touch

ground #

# We're back in the barrio #

# But to you and me, it's

Hollywoodtown #

# It's home #

# We're coming home again #

# Home #

# We're coming home again #

# Home #

# We're coming home again #

# Home #

# We're coming home again #

# Home #

# We're coming home again #

# Home #

# We're coming home again #

# Home #

# We're coming home again #

# Home #

# We're coming home again #

# Nobody likes you #

# Everyone left you #

# They're all out without you #

# Having fun #

Yeah!

-It might work.

-Yeah, let's do it.

-Mkay -You wanna do it acapella?

No, I think with one guitar,

or just one electric, just

something like ratty.

-Wanna record it?

-Don't have to do it now

we can do it next week.

Well I think the world is a

teeter-totter

and in some places things get

better

and in some places things get

worse

but I think politically in this

record

we don't really have an agenda

we're just trying to.. the song

American Idiot

isn't saying, you know "This

politician's wrong

"This is wrong, blah blah blah"

it's saying, as far as this

record's going

it's an agenda.. it's not a

personal agenda

it's like "I wanna think for

myself"

and that's all it's saying,

it's raising a discussion.

What the hell am I gonna do

with myself when I go home?

I can't do it now, so..

[COMMOTION]

you gotta do it 3 times..

[COMMOTION]

break a speaker, man.

I got drunk, I didn't mean to.

[LAUGHTER]

-It's Margie's fault.

-Yeah, she was just f***in..

-Free booze! -Who's fault?

The hostess, she just kept

fillin' our drinks up all night.

Hearing it a little outta tune

makes me wanna go to other

notes.

-Turn the monitors off then

-Maybe Tre needs to walk around

the building?

No, I just need to have you

guys all shut up and let me

play.

So the very first part where I

come in

I wanna try and get one more

without it..

# Thought I ran into you down

on the street #

# Then it turned out to only be

a dream #

# I made a point to burn all of

the photographs #

# She went away and then I took

a different path #

# I remember the face but I

can't recall the name #

# Now I wonder how whatsername

has been #

# Seems that she disappeared

without a trace #

# Did she ever marry old what's

his face? #

# I made a point to burn all of

the photographs #

# She went away and then I took
