Lirik Lagu Green Day - "American Eulogy"
[XIII American Eulogy]
Sing us a song of the century
It sings like American Eulogy
The dawn of my love and conspiracy
Forgotten hope and the class of '13
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for me
[A. Mass Hysteria]
Hysteria, mass hysteria!
Mass hysteria!
Mass hysteria!
Red alert is the colour of panic
Elevated to the point of static
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics
And the neighborhood's a loaded gun
Idle thoughts lead to full-throttle screaming
And the welfare's asphyxiating
Mass confusion is all the new age
And it's creating a feeding ground for the bottom-feeders of...
Hysteria, mass hysteria!
Mass hysteria!
Mass hysteria!
Mass hysteria!
True sounds of maniacal laughter
And the deaf-mute's misleading the choir
The punchline is a natural disaster
And it's 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, "It's just a bunch of niggers throwing gas into the..."
Hysteria, mass hysteria!
Mass hysteria!
Mass hysteria!
Mass hysteria!
There's a disturbance on the oceanside
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
[B. Modern World]
I don't wanna live in the modern world! [4x]
I'm the class of '13
In the era of dissent
A hostage of the soul
On a strike to pay the rent
The last of the rebels
Without a common ground
I'm gonna light a fire
Into the underground
I don't wanna live in the modern world! [4x]
I am a nation without bureaucratic ties
Deny the allegation as it's written fucking lies!
I want to take a ride to the great divide
Beyond the "up to date" and the neo-gentrified
The high definition for the low resident
Where the value of your mind is not held in contempt
I can hear the sound of a beating heart
That bleeds beyond a system that's falling 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 the modern world! [4x]
I don't wanna live in the modern world! (Mass hysteria!) [repeat until fade]
