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!
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
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?
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
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 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)
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
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
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)
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
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 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)
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
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...
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
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
