Green Day - B-side Lyrics Note: A (?) in the middle of a lyric usually indicates I am not sure what Billie Joe is singing right there.
Since these are b-sides, all I have to go on is what I hear-- and sometimes I can't understand a word or two...
If you know any of these lyrics and wanna help me out, feel free to email me. Thanks!

Poprocks and Coke

Where you go, you know I'll be there If you go far, you know I'll be there I'll go anywhere So I'll see you there You pace the name, you know I'll be there You name the time, you know I'll be there I'll go anywhere So I'll see you there
Chorus: I don't care if you don't mind I'll be there, not far behind I will then keep in mind I'll be there for you
When there's the truth, you know I'll be there Amongst the lies, you know I'll be there I'll go anywhere So I'll see you there (chorus) (instrumental interlude)
If you should fall, you know I'll be there To catch the call, you know I'll be there I'll go anywhere So I'll see you there
I don't care if you don't mind I'll be there, not far behind I will then keep in mind I don't care I'll be there for you I'll be there for you I'll be there for you

Maria

She smashed the radio with the board of education Turned up the static left of the state of the nation Turn up the flame, step on the gas Burning the flag at half-mast She's the rebel's forgotten son An export of the revolution
She is the first voice of the last ones in the line She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive Bring in the head of the government The dog ate the document Somebody shot the president And no one knows where Maria went Maria Maria Maria, where did you go?
She questions what you're offering Your breath lacks the conviction Drawing the line in the dirt Because the last decision... is no!
She smashed the radio with the board of education Turned up the static left of the state of the nation Turn up the flame, step on the gas Burning the flag at half-mast She's the rebel's forgotten son A export of the revolution
Maria Maria Maria, where did you go? Maria Maria Maria, where did you go?

Outsider (Ramones cover) (Warning single part 2; 2000)

I'm an outsider, outside of everything I'm an outsider, outside of everything I'm an outsider, outside of everything Everything you know, everything you know And it serves me so Everybody try to push me, push me around Everybody try to put me, try to put me down All messed up everyone I've already had all my fun More troubles are gonna come I've already had all my fun Everybody try to push me, push me around Everybody try to put me, try to put me down

Scumbag

You come around every now and then Your clothes are different but you're still the same Why else would you come here? Scumbag on a mission You're telling me that it's been a while She needed green and a brand new lie (or s***-eating grin and a brand new life?) Somebody let you come here-- Scumbag with permission Never thought I'd see the likes of you round this place What's the special occasion? Did you run out of friends? Here you are coming 'round again And things are different but they're still pretend You've got a reason to come here-- Scumbag with ambition And now you're telling me that things have changed And you'll be leaving in a couple days You're gonna change your words some day-- Scumbag with a vision It must be nice to know you've got it all figured out But from the way I'm seeing, it's the same thing again and again You never stop to think before you start to open up your mouth Cause every time you do, it's the same thing again and again

You Lied

You got a problem you just can't hide Compulsive habits that never seem to die Your breath is sucking up all the air Your teeth are rotten to black holes in your head
Chorus: Well reality is due What you say just can't be true When the story's stretched and it's so far-fetched And you're lacking an excuse You lied
Your mother allows you just one white lie By now she's dead and she left you with the problem Pinocchio? has pierced your tongue Your nose is growing into the third dimension
(chorus)
(instrumental interlude)
(chorus)

Suffocate

3am I'm drunk again My head is standing underneath my puke So make it stop, I'm getting off Make it stop, I'm getting off Sedatives and dizzy spells And spilling my guts out under my feet So make it stop, I'm getting off Make it stop, I'm getting off
Well I've slipped in to a coma once again Where's my organ donor? Lend a hand
So when you think you're all alone No one's left to come around Drop like flies and empathize And I know that I will someday And I know that I will suffocate, suffocate, suffocate, suffocate
One night stands and cheap regrets I'll take another drag off of my cigarette So make it stop, I'm getting off Make it stop, I'm getting off One last stop for one track mind Just give me shelter Give me, give me something So make it stop, I'm getting off Make it stop, I'm getting off
Well I've slipped in to a coma once again Where's my organ donor? Lend a hand
So when you think you're all alone No one's left to come around Drop like flies and empathize And I know that I will someday And I know that I will suffocate, suffocate, suffocate, suffocate
So when you think you're all alone No one's left to come around Drop like flies and empathize And I know that I will someday And I know that I will suffocate And I know that I will someday And I know that I will suffocate, suffocate, suffocate, suffocate

Rotting

I'm rotting inside My flesh turns to dust Whisper 'Are you dying?' in my ear I'm so sick to death Tumors in my head Whisper 'Are you dying?' in my ear
Black rose of death in my fist I clutch Thorns shred my fingertips And drips toxic blood
Kiss me one last time Mop off my sweat Whisper 'Are you dying?' in my ear As my bones they rust Weave vows of trust Whisper 'Are you dying?' in my ear
Black rose of death in my fist I clutch Thorns shred my fingertips And drips toxic blood
I'm rotting inside My flesh turns to dust Whisper 'Are you dying?' in my ear Kiss me one last time Mop off my sweat Whisper 'Are you dying?' in my ear Whisper 'Are you dying?' in my ear

Desensitized

Clenching my teeth tight My head is like a sponge Give it to me free
Chorus: I wanna get ripped off And drown in the airwaves Another fatal wreck On the information highway So go ahead and kill yourselves It all amuses me For I'll be damned to spend my life in hell Another wise ingrate
Bring me blood and pain Of a stranger's fate Give it all away Give it to me now I'm desensitized I wanna watch a bomb Blow the masses high (chorus)
Bring me blood and pain Of a stranger's face Give it all away (chorus)

Tired Of Waiting For You

So tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you So tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you I was a lonely soul I had nobody till I met you But you keeping me waiting all of the time What can I do? It's your life and you can do what you want Do what you'd like, but please don't keep me waiting Please don't keep me waiting Cause I'm so tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you So tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you

Do Da Da

Everytime I'm falling out you take the repercussions Headaches and anxiety, advancing my frustrations Chorus: Rush into my depression Sacrifice everything Waste with me into nothing Well now you're stuck with me Stuck with me Stuck with me (Handcuff yourself/ Hand up your soul) to my wrist And I'll vow my trust to you Moving on and I always thought I realized you've imagined (chorus twice)

Don't Want To Fall In Love

Don't want to have you hanging Around me like a leech I think your just a problem So stay the hell away from me because I don't believe in you And I wanna sit here all my life alone This (means I'm/may sound) a little rough Don't wanna fall in love
Don't need security I ain't no dog without a bone Don't have no time for love So stay the f*** away from me Because I don't believe in you And I wanna sit here all my life alone This means I'm a little rough Don't wanna fall in love
(instrumental interlude) This means I'm a little rough Don't wanna fall in love (3x)

I Want To Be On TV

Wanna be a tv boy Wanna go on solid gold Wanna date a millionaire Wanna make people stare I wanna be on tv Want people to know me I wanna be on tv
Studio 54 Gonna be an omnivore Wanna make people dance Gonna take off my pants I wanna be on tv Want people to know me I wanna be on tv
On the cover of a magazine Gonna have some free cocaine Wanna wear my Calvin Kleins Then the world will be all mine I wanna be on tv Want people to know me I wanna be on tv

J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)

My friend drove off the other day Now he's gone and all they say Is you gotta live cause life goes on And now I see I'm mortal too I can't live my life like you Gotta live it up while life goes on
Chorus: Well I think it's alright That I do what I like Cause that's the way I wanna live And so I give And I'm still giving
Now I wonder about my friend If he gave all he could give Cause he lived his life like I lived mine If you could see inside my head Then you'd start to understand The things I value in my heart
(chorus)
You know that I know that You're watching me
(instrumental interlude)
(chorus)
Gotta make a plan Gotta do what's right Can't run around in circles if you wanna build a life But I don't wanna make a plan for a day far away While I'm young and while I'm able all I wanna do is...

On The Wagon

Sometimes it gets real hard And I need some kind of output For input twice the size of my one inch mind So slap me on the hand Put it right back down my pants Turn baby right around kick me in the a**
Chorus: Well today I say sweet things But tomorrow I'll be making up excuses For my actions cause it's been so long Since I have been in (that/love) That special kind of feeling Guess my best excuse I'm on the wagon again
(instrumental interlude)
(chorus)
Well I got no real excuse I'm on the wagon again

Second Street

This is a song by Billie Joe's other band, Pinhead Gunpowder. There may be some confusion surrounding this song because a while back, it was going around on Napster under the name "Fashion Victim" which, as you know, is a song on the album Warning. This is NOT Fashion Victim.

There's a girl who lives on 2nd Street She cries on every time we meet She's the only girl I want her to be
On the sidewalks, going out tonight The street lights make her look just right She's the only girl I want her to be
And on the darkest nights she occupies my time I can't wait for the day to make her make her mine
In the window, the light's on again I pray to God you're not sleeping Just save a place in your bed for me (instumental)
And on the darkest nights she occupies my time I can't wait for the day to make her make her mine And I tell you that's okay So many things I wanna hear you say
There's a girl who lives on 2nd Street She cries on every time we meet She's the only girl I want her to be She's the only girl I want her to be There's a girl who lives on 2nd Street She's the only girl I want her to be
