네오 펑크가 `반항의 상징`이 아님은 진실로 굳어진 지 오래다. 그저 또 하나의 쇼비즈니스 분야 이상도 이하도 아니다. 그런 맥락에서 Green Day의 베스트 앨범이 나왔다는 것도 그다지 놀랄 일은 아니지 싶다.그린 데이의 메이저 시절 발표작인 4장의 앨범에서 발췌, 수록한 총 21곡은 그들의 지난 시절을 거의 완벽하게 회고하게 만들어줄 뿐만 아니라, 록의 새로운 중흥기로 기대되었던 지난 90년대 록씬에 대한 향수까지 불러온다. .... ....
Wherever you go, you know I'll be there If you go far, you know I'll be there I'll go anywhere, so I'll see you there You name the time you know I'll be there I'll go anywhere, so I'll see you there
I don't care if you don't mind I'll be there not far behind I will dare, Keep in mind I'll be there for you
Where there's the truth, you know I'll be there Amongst the lies. you know I'll be there I'll go anywhere, so I'll see you there
If you should fall, you know I'll be there To catch the call, you know I'll be there I'll go anywhere, So I'll see you there
Sit around and watch the tube but, nothing's on Change the channels for an hour or two Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit I'm sick of all the same old shit In a house with unlocked doors and I'm fucking lazy
Bite my lip and close my eyes Take me away to paradise I'm so damn bored I'm going blind!!! And I smell like shit
Peel me off this velcro seat And get me moving I sure as hell can't do it by myself I'm feeling like a dog in heat Barred indoors from the summer street I locked the door to my own cell And I lost the key
I got no motivation Where is my motivation No time for motivation Smoking my inspiration
Sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling Call me pathetic, call me what you will My mother says to get a job But she don't like the one she's got When masturbation's lost its fun You're fucking breaking
Bite my lip and close my eyes Take me away to paradise I'm so damn bored I'm going blind!!! and lonliness has to suffice Bite my lip and close my eyes slipping away to paradise Some say "quit or I'll go blind" But it's just a myth
Dear mother, Can you hear me whining? It's been three whole weeks Since that I have left your home This sudden fear has left me trembling Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own And I'm feeling so alone
*Pay attention to the cracked streets And the broken homes Some call it the slums Some call it nice I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome To Paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason it's now Feeling like my home And I'm never gonna go
* Repeat
Dear mother, Can you hear me laughing It's been six whole months since Since that I have left your home It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason it's now Feeling like my home And I'm never gonna go
Do you have the time to listen to me whine About nothing and everything all at once I am one of those Melodramatic fools Neurotic to the bone No doubt about it
* Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid I'm just stoned
I went to a shrink To analyze my dreams She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down I went to a whore He said my life's a bored And quit my whining cause it's bringing her down
I heard you crying loud All the way across town You've been searching for that someone And it's me out on the prowl As you sit around feeling Sorry for yourself Don't get lonely now Dry your whining eyes I'm just roaming for the moment Sleazin' my backyard So don't get so uptight You been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around 'Cause you know where I'll be found When I come around
I heard it all before So don't knock down my door I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser To slag me down Because I know I'm right So go do what you like Make sure you do it wise You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing Was ever there
You can't go forcing something If it's just not right
My friend drove off the other day. And now he's gone and all they say. Is you gotta live 'cause life goes on But now I see I'm mortal too I can't live my life like you Gotta live it up while life goes on And I think it's alright That I do what I like 'cause that's the way I wanna live It's how I give And I'm still giving
And now I wonder about my friend If he gave all he could give 'Cause he lived his life like I live mine If you could see inside my head Then you'd start to understand The things I value in my heart You know that. I know that. You're watching me
Gotta make a plan Gotta do what's right can't run around in circles If you wanna build a life but I don't wanna make a plan For a day far away While I'm young and while I'm able All I wanna do is....
I'm on a mission I made my decision To lead a path of self-destruction A slow progression Killing my complexion And it's rotting out my teeth
I'm on a roll Mo self-control I'm blowing off steam with Meth amphetamine don't know what I wnat That's all that I've got And I'm picking scabs off my face Every hour my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure filled with sick pleasure And it sits on a thick white line I'm on a mission I got no decision like a cripple Running the rat race Wish in one hand and shit in the other And see which one gets filled first
Somebody keep my balance I think I'm falling off Into a state of regression The expiration date Rapidly coming up It's leaving me behind to rank Always move forward Going "straight" will get you nowhere There is no progress Evolution killed it all I found my place in nowhere I'm taking one step sideways Leading with my crutch Got a fucked up equilibrium count down from 9 to 5 Hooray! We're gonna die! Blessed into our extinction
Do as I say not as I do because The shit so deep you can't run away I beg to differ on the contrary I agree with every word that you say Talk is cheap and lies are expensive My wallet's fat and so is my head Hit and run and then I'll hit you again I'm a smart-ass but I'm playing dumb Standards set and broken all the time Control the chaos behind a gun Call it as I see it even if I was born deaf, blind and dumb Losers winning big on the lottery Rehab rejects still sniffing glue Constant refutation with myself I'm a victim of a catch 22 I have no belief But I believe I'm a walking contradiction And I ain't got no right
I'm not part of your elite I'm just alright Class structure waving colors Bleeding from my throat Not subservient to you I'm just alright Down classed by the powers that be Give me loss of hope
Cast out... Buried in a hole Struck down... forcing me to fall Destroyed... giving up the fight
I know I'm not alright What's my price and will you pay it If it's alright? Take it from my dignity Waste it until it's dead Throw me back into the gutter 'Cause it's alright
Find another pleasure fucker Drag them down to hell
Hey mister, where you headed? Are you in a hurry? I need a lift to happy hour Say oh no Do you brake for distilled spirits I need a break as well The well that inebriates the guilt 1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4 Cold turkey's getting stale Tonight I'm eating crow Fermented salmonella poison oak no
There's a drought at the fountain of youth And now I'm dehydrating My tongue is swelling up As say 1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4 Troubled times You know I can not lie I'm off the wagon and I'm Hitchin' a ride
There's a drought at the fountain of youth And now I'm dehydrating My tongue is swelling up I say Shit!
Another turning point A fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist Directs you where to go So make the best of this test And don't ask why It's not a question But a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs And still frames in your mind Hang it on a shelf of good health And good time Tattoos of memories And dead skin on trial For what it's worth It was worth all the while I hope you had the time of your life
We're living in repetition. Content in the same old shtick again. Now the routine's turning to contention. Like a production line going. Over and over and over, roller coaster.
Now I cannot speak. I lost my voice. I'm speechless and redundant. 'Cause I love you's not enough. I'm lost for words. Choreographed and lack of passion. Prototypes of what we were. Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous. Taken for granted now. Now I waste it, faked it. Ate it, now I hate it. Now I cannot speak. I lost my vice. I'm speechless and redundant 'Cause I love you's not enough. I'm lost for words. Now I cannot speak.
Nice guys finish last. You're running out of gas. Your sympathy will get you left behind. Sometimes you're at your best. When you look the worst. Do you feel washed up. Like piss going down the drain?
Pressure cooker pick my brain And tell me I'm insane. I'm so fucking happy I could cry. Every joke can have its truth And now the joke's on you. I never knew you were such a funny guy.
Oh nice guys finish last. When you are the outcast. Don't pat yourself on the back. You might break your spine.
Living on command. You're shaking lots of hands. Kissing up and bleeding all your trust. Taking what you need. Bite the hand that feeds. You kill your memory.
I want to be the minority I dont need your authority down with the moral majority 'Cause I want to be the minority
I pledge allegiance to the underworld one nation under dog there of which I stand alone a face in the crowd unsung, against the mold without a doubt, singled out the only way I know
I want to be the minority I dont need your authority down with the moral majority 'cause I want to be the minority
stepped out of the line like a sheep runs from the herd marching out of time to my own beat now the only way I know
one light, one mind flashing in the dark blinded by silence of a thousand broken hearts "for crying out loud" she screamed unto me a free for all fuck'em all "you are your own sight"
I want to be the minority I dont need your authority down with the moral majority 'cause I want to be the minority
