Song lyrics
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?
or am I 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 bore
So quit my whining cause it's bringing her down

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?
a ya-ya-ya

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

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?
or am I just stoned?

woah, there. billie joe, tre, and mike are NOT b*tches. and if you actually listen to their songs, they DO have meaning. and wannabe rock stars? well, they're not wannabes... they already ARE rocks stars. they are one of the most famous bands and they always will be. their sound is unique and so are they

well, I listen to mothing but rock and metal, and to tell you the truth. I wouldnt put green day into the rock class. Its more like mock-punk. But not many bands can get away with singing about masterbation so much, with a nausiating voice, and still sound good.

i know green day fans that range from age 8 to 34....so get bent... anyone whos paid attention to rock music since kurt cobains death knows that green day has released 6 CDs for reprise records...and the 7th due in september

just because you dont listen to rock doesnt mean it no linger exists...wannabe rockstars...green day has been around for 10 years and will be around long after your favourite flavour of the month sinks into obscurity

if you havnt herd of green day, or if you hate green day, and you call yourself rock, punk, or even emo, than you are a horrible poser, and need to not be,
green day is the beginning of modern day punk and rock... they were a big steping stone in music, and yes go animal2 he neeeded a reality check

As far as I can tell, this discussion seems to be revolving around whether Green Day are any good.
In my opinion Green Day defines a unique punk rock sound, and whether you like their music or not, you have to admit that they're more than just the average run-of-the-mill band.
They have a huge following and have inspired many.
So give 'em some credit.
