Holiday

Singer: Green Day
Writer: Billie Joe Armstrong
Album: American Idiot

Say, hey!
Go!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (hey!)
The shame, the ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called 'Faith and Misery' (hey!)
And plead the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drums pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (hey!)
To find the money's on the other side

Can I get another 'amen'? (amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hey!
3, 4!

The representative from California has the floor

Sieg Heil to the President Gasman, Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers, who criticize your government
Bang, bang, goes the broken glass and kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire setting fire, is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws, yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday
