Song lyrics

Send "St. Jimmy" ringtones to your cell

St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway
Up on the boulevard like a zip gun on parade
Light of a silhouette
He's insubordinate
Coming at you on the count of 1,2,1,2,3,4!

My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
Suicide commando that your momma talked about
King of the forty theives
And I'm here to represent
That needle in the vein of the establishment

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe
Raised in the city under a halo of lights
The product of war and fear that we've been victimized

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?

I'll give you something to cry about.

ST. JIMMY!

My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun
I'm the one that's from the way outside
I'm a teenage assassin executing some fun
In the cult of the life of crime.

I really hate to say it but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down old boy
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
And the resident leader at the lost and found

It's comedy and tragedy
It's St. Jimmy
And that's my nameeeeeee...and don't wear it out!

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Oh my god, dude. Green Day just took all the half-assed punk bands (like the Distillers and such) to SCHOOL! They could learn a lesson from GD. Kudos and props to this great band for setting the bar and showing 'em how its done!

1 posts	Am I the only one wondering who St. Jimmy is/was? They mention him in quite a few songs on American Idiot... and what are the references to "Jesus of Suburbia" Shall I stop asking questions now before I start looking really stupid?

Hes a running character they made up, like J.O.S. and Whatshername. On that topic, i heard they may make the CD into a movie....

685 posts	the story behind american idiot (to the best of my knowledge) is an average everyday normal kid, "Jesus of Suburbia", leaves home because he realises that everyone around him is false and uncaring. when he reaches the city where he runs away to, he rejects his old existence as Jesus of Suburbia and becomes "St Jimmy" instead, a punk-rocker drug dealer type. he falls in love with an anarchist girl called whatsername, but when even his life as jimmy becomes boring and monotonous, she leaves him. eventually st jimmy "dies", and jesus returns home, older but not much wiser.

10 posts	A MOVIE That would be so cool. I love this song along with a couple others. This song really gets to me. Second time I heard I was singing along with acting like a fool and loving it. To me if you sing along with a Green Day CD, You never look like a fool

15 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is definately one of my favorite songs on the album ^_^ I wonder if St. Jimmy and Jesus of Suburbia are supposed to be real people, or if they're just characters that Green Day made up. I kinda doubt the Jimmy Hendrix theory as this is a political album about stuff happening right now, not someone who died years ago.

316 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal took me a while to dig this song, but honestly, it's got some ripper lyrics. "st. jimmy's coming down across the alley way upon the boulevard like a zip gun on parade", "king of the forty thieves, and i'm here to represent the needle in the vein of the establishment", "welcome to the club and give me some blood i'm the resident leader of the lost and found".
