Green Day Mass Hysteria
Sing us a song of the century
Sings like American Eulogy
The dawn of my love and conspiracy
Forgotten hope in the class of 13
Tell me a story and to that goodnight
Sing us a song for me
Hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Red alert is the color of panic
Elevated to the point of static
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics
And the neighborhood'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
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
True sounds of manical 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 n..ers throwing gas into the
Hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Theres 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 (yow!)
I don't wanna live in the modern world
I don't wanna live in the modern world
I don't wanna live in the modern world
I don't wanna live in the modern world
Well, I'm the class of 13 in the era of dissent
A hostage of the soul on the strike to pay the rent
The last of the rebels without a common ground
I'm gonna light a fire into the underground, well,
I don't wanna live in the modern world
I don't wanna live in the modern world
I don't wanna live in the modern world
I don't wanna live in the modern world
I am a nation without burecratic ties
Deny the allegation as its rainin'
F..ckin' lies!
Well i wanna take a ride through the Great Divide
The army up-to-date and the neogentrified
The high-definition for the lower resident
Where the value of your mind is not held in contempt
I can hear the sound of a beatin' heart
It bleeds beyond a system that is fallin' apart
With money to burn on a minimum wage
Well i don't give a shit about the modern age!
I don't wanna live in a modern world
I don't wanna live in a modern world
I don't wanna live in a modern world
I don't wanna live in a modern world
(Mass hysteria)
I don't wanna live in a modern world
(mass hysteria)
I don't wanna live in a modern world
(mass hysteria)
I don't wanna live in a modern world
(Mass hysteria)
I don't wanna live in a modern world
