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

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

Where have all the riots gone?
As the city's motto 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's an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist
Stand still when it's do or die
You better run for your fucking life

It's not over till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burning
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 violence kills itself?
And where will we all go when it's too late?

Another Jesus of Suburbia
That St. Jimmy is a figment of
Your father's rage and your mother's love
Living in Idiot America

It's not over till your underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burning
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

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

Actually, those lyrics aren't exactly correct. Just a couple tiny mistakes. It actually says
'This city's burnin' , instead of 'it's city's burnin'.....& It's 'St. Jimmy is a figment of,
Your fathers Rage & your mothers Love'

Thats all. Couldn't have Billie Joes beautiful words bein' all screwy could we?

I love this whole album ^.^

The fact that Letterbomb started off as just something stupid Billie was thinking about is really amazing, when you consider what an amazing song it turns into.
American Idiot is by far Green Day's best album. Too bad some people haven't learned totally how to listen and write out lyrics perfectly, which in some cases can fuck up a song. But hey, these are just small mistakes, good job man.
