1. 21 GUNS
[Songwriters: Armstrong, Billie Joe; Bowie, David; Pritchard, Michael; Wright, Frank E., Iii;]
Do you know what's worth fighting for?
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I
When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I

2. MASS HYSTERIA
Mass hysteria
red alert is the color of panic
levated to the point of static
beating into the hearts of the fanatics
and the neighbor's a loaded gun
idle thought lead to
full throttle screaming
and the welfare is asphyxiating
Mass confusion is all the new rage
and its creating a feeding ground
for the bottom feeders of hysteria
True sounds of maniacal laughter
and the deaf mute is
misleading the choir
the punchline is a natural disaster
and its sung by the unemployed
Fight fire with a riot
the class war is hanging on a wire
because the martyr
is a compulsive liar
when he said
"its just a bunch of niggers throwing gas into the hysteria"
There's a disturbance on the ocean side
they tapped into the reserve
the static response is so unclear now
mayday this is not a test!
as the neighborhood burns,
America is falling
vigilantes warning ya,
calling christian and gloria

3. AMERICAN IDIOT
[Songwriters: Armstrong, Billie Joe; Pritchard, Michael; Wright, Frank E., Iii;]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Well maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia

4. THE ONE I WANT.
Sitting in my room last night
Staring at the mirror
I couldn't find a reason why
I couldn't be near her
'Cause you are the one that started
To make me feel this way
And every night I'm thinking
About the words you'd say
Pictures going through my mind
When we're together
All these long and sleepless nights
Will I ever get better
'Cause you are the one that started
To make me feel this way
And every night I'm thinking
About the words you'd say
'Cause you are THE ONE THAT I WANT
Now you know how I feel
This love is forever
You make my life seem so unreal
Will I ever get better? ...
'Cause you are the one that started
To make me feel this way
And every night I'm thinking
About the words you'd say
'Cause you are THE ONE THAT I WANT
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Don't want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's going out to idiot America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

5. BLOOD, SEX AND BOOZE
Waiting in a room
All dressed up and bound and gagged
To a chair
It's so unfair
I won't dare move, for the pain
She puts me through is what I need
So make it bleed
I'm in distress, oh mistress
I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight
You know I will obey, so please
Don't make me beg
For blood, sex and booze you give me
Some say I'm disturbed
But it's what I deserve, another lesson
To be learned...from a girl called kill
My head is in the gutter
Thank you sir, strike up another mandolin
Of discipline
Throw me to the dogs
Let them eat my flesh down
To the wood
It feels so good

6. 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN
Born into Nixon I was raised in hell.
A welfare child where the Teamsters dwelled.
The last one born and the the first one to run.
My town was blind from refinery sun.
My generation is zero
I never made it
As a working class hero
21st century breakdown
I was once lost but never was found
I think I am losing what's left of my mind
To the 20th century deadline.
I was made of poison and blood
Condemnation is what I understood
Videogames of the tower's fall
Homeland security could kill us all
My generation is zero
I never made it
As a working class hero
21st century breakdown
I was once lost but never was found
I think I am losing what's left of my mind
To the 20th century deadline.
We are the [cries of] the class of '13
Born in the era of humility
We are the desperate in the decline
Raised by the bastards of 1969
My name is No One
The long lost son
Born on the 4th of july
Raised in the era of heroes and cons
That left me for dead or alive
I am a nation
A worker of pride
My debt to status quo
The scars on my hands
And the means to an end
Is all that I have to show
I swallowed my pride
And I choked on my faith
I've given my heart and my soul
Ive broken my fingers
And lied though my teeth
The pillar of damage control
I've been to the edge
And I've thrown the bouquet
Of flowers left over the grave
I sat in the waiting room
Wasting my time
ANd waiting for Judgement Day
I praise liberty
The "Freedom to Obey"
Is the song that strangles me
Don't cross the line
Dream, America Dream
I can't even sleep
From the light's early dawn
Scream, America scream
Belive what you see
From heroes and cons?

7. HEARTS COLLIDE
Love conquers every time
when two hearts come to collide
you're the card in my valentine
and a candy heart's in my mind
well true love is the rule
and you're nobody's fool
the ship's coming to the light
and it was love at first sight
baby baby you're the light
and a flame burns in my mind's eye.
when triumph bleeds into bliss,
and i knew it from the first kiss.
tonight, hearts collide,
hearts collide
hearts collide.
when triumph bleeds into bliss,
and i knew it from the first kiss.
tonight hearts collide
hearts collide
hearts collide
