    Billie Joe Armstrong is a criminally underrated lyricist. To me, he should be mentioned as one of the greatest writers in rock history. A ton of great lines include cognitive dissonance and contradicting ideas. The passage, “The freedom to obey,” is a very powerful and poignant idea. What a world class talent he is.

      @@robertgroen2197 I totally understand that Green Day has gotten praise and accolades both commercially and critically. I was honing in specifically on Armstrong’s lyrics. I think he often gets overshadowed by Petty, Springsteen, Daltrey and others. To me, he should absolutely should be mentioned in the pantheon of rock lyricists, and I just don’t think most people rate him that high.

    Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell
    A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled
    The last one born and 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 once was lost but never was found
    I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
    To the 20th century deadline
    I was made of poison and blood
    Condemnation is what I understood
    Video games 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 once was lost but never was found
    I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
    To the 20th century deadline
    We are the class of the class of thirteen
    Born in the era of humility
    We are the desperate in the decline
    Raised by the bastards of 1969
    My name is no one, your long lost son
    Born on the fourth 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 the status quo
    The scars on my hands there a means to an end
    Is all that I have to show
    I swallowed my pride and choked on my faith
    I've given my heart and my soul
    I've broken my fingers and I've lied through 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 Judgment Day
    I praise liberty
    The freedom to obey
    Is the song that strangles me
    Well don't cross the line
    Oh, dream, America, dream
    I can't even sleep
    From the light's early dawn
    Oh, scream, America, scream
    Believe what you see
    From heroes and cons

      My shoes were filled with a birth before Camelot before Kennedy half-dollars were made of silver as a fuck-off joke to the idiot and his brother who thought they could bring on a second American revolution and were ritually sacrificed when I had barely become aware of my existence in time and space and my mother was weeping.

    This song will always rule. I'm very happy that Green Day existed, because their songs will surely influence a lot of future generations to come. Catchy melodies, heavy deep strong meaningful lyrics, fun band members that have gone through a lot and yet they're still together making great music and never forgot who Green Day is. It's just wholesome.

    This is in my opinion, the most underrated Green Day song. I really liked the 'first half' of the song, and the last 30 seconds the most.

      ...Please tell me you're kidding..please.
      My comment was meant as joke. The fact Stray Heart said "hes" (Which is suppose to be "he's") meant any male person not specifically. And I used sarcasm to direct that comment to me. Yes, I knew what Stray Heart was talking about.
      Obviously since I used sarcasm, you didn't understand it which means YOU are stupid. YOU not me, YOU.
      By the way, thanks for the compliment. I appreciate people calling me stupid and I love it when they do (!)
