Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called “Faith and Misery”
And bleed, 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 drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line
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
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
The representative from California has the floor
Zieg 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
It’s 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
Blah blah blah. They clearly wrote this as an attack on GW Bush. I will be impressed when they write something about Obama and his drones and the NSA spying and all the other CRAP spewed forward by this (PO)TU(S).
Until then, Green Day can take their selective outrage and hypocrisy and punk it out somewhere else.
Good song. It reminds me of something but I can’t put my finger on it.
