Song lyrics

Send "Letterbomb" ringtones to your cell

Nobody likes you...
Everyone left you...
They're all out without you...
Having fun...

Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly stacks up ten high
The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
Like a flunkie along for a ride

Where have all the riots gone
As your city's model gets pulverized?
What's in love is now in debt
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse!

The town bishop is an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist
Standing still when it's do or die
You better run for your fucking life

It's not over 'till your underground
It's not over before it's too late
It's cities burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late

There's nothing left to analyze

Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
And where will we all go when it's too late?

And don't look back

You're not the Jesus of Suburbia
The St. Jimmy is a figment of
Your father's rage and your mother's love
Made me the idiot America

It's not over 'till your underground
It's not over before it's too late
It's cities burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late

She said I can't take this place
I'm leaving it behind

Well she said I can't take this town
I'm leaving you tonight

685 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal the beginning part is whatsername taunting jimmy/jesus about well, nobody liking him. the whole song is based on a letter she writes him to tell him she's fed up of him now and is leaving him, hence the title letterbomb

316 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal to me it's a bit suss if you say a song is amazing but have no clue what it's about. and seriously, there's even a rather awesome explanation up there about it. but on to letterbomb: kathleen hannah opens the song! you can't go wrong. the chorus is powerful as hell.

6 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal One of my top favorites on the CD. The song is about a letter Whatsername writes to JOS (Jesus of Suburbia) about how she is tired of the way stuff is (yada yada yada) and how she is leaving with or without him. But it makes me think... is JOS the same guy as St. Jimmy? In it is says "St. Jimmy is the figment of, your fathers rage and your mothers love" Hmm, I have heard that St. Jimmy becomes JOS's spilt personality, and this song makes me believe it. But I still dunno. Anyhoo, love this album, love this song, love Green Day.

273 posts	whatshername08, yeah, St. Jimmy is the same person as Jesus of Suburbia. He's like an alter-ego kinda thing... This is my favorite track on this album. Well, this and Wake Me Up When September Ends. But anyways...
