Holiday
Artist: Green Day
Album: American Idiot
Song: Holiday
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called “Faith and Misery” (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today
(chorus) 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 protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find the money’s on the other side
Can I get another Amen (Amen!)
There’s a flag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!)
A gag
A plastic bag on a monument
(chorus)
“The representative from California has the floor”
Zieg Heil to the president gasbag
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass man
Kill all the fags that don’t agree
Triumph by fires, sinning buyers (by sound) Trials by fire, setting fire (written lyrics)
Is 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
