I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I wanna be the minority
I pledge
allegiance
to the underworld
one nation under dog there of which I stand alone
a face in the crowd
unsung against the mold
without a doubt singled out the only way I know
'cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I wanna be the minority
stepped out of line
like a sheep runs from the herd
marching out of time
to my own beat now
the only way I know
one light
one mind
flashing in the dark
blinded by the silence of a 1,000 broken hearts
for crying out loud
she screamed unto me
a free for all fuck them all
you are your own sight
'cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I wanna be the minority
hey
one light
one mind
flashing in the dark
blinded by the silence of a 1,000 broken hearts
for crying out loud
she screamed unto me

GREEN DAY - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
DOWNLOAD MP3
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everythings all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah I walk alone, I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone!
GREEN DAY - Misery
Virginia was a 'lot lizard' from F.L.A.
she had a compound fracture in the 'trunk'
It started when she ran away
thumbs out on the interstate
she hitched a ride to misery
"Mr. Whirly" had a catastrophic incident
he fell into the city by the bay
he liquidated his estate
now he sleeps upon the Haight
panhandling misery
He's gonna get high
when he's low, low, low
the fire burns from better days
and she screams why, oh why
I said I don't know
the catastrophic hymns from yesterday
of misery
Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
he ran the drug cartel in 'tinseltown'
they found him in a cadillac
bludgeoned with a baseball bat in the name
of misery
Gina hit the road to New York City
mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
she stopped in Vegas to elope
with Virginia and the dope
and kissed the bride eternally
and they're gonna get high
when they're low, low, low
the fire burns from better days
and he screamed why oh why
I said I don't know
the catastrophic hymns from yesterday
of misery
hell hounds on your trail now once again... boy
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps
the emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
because it's not what you make... it's what you leave
and we're gonna get high
when I'm low, low, low
the fire burns from better days
and she screamed why, oh why
I said i don't know
the catastrophic hymns from yesterday
of misery
Hold On

A cry of hope
A plea for peace
And my conscience beating
It¹s not what I want for
It¹s all that I need

With my conscience bleeding
Here lies the truth
The lost treasures of my youth
As I hold on to the break of the day
Chorus (same chords as in the last Chorus)
When you lost all hope and excuses

You got to hold on yourself

(heads down heads down heads down)
(ow)
(you understand me)
(aw shit)
Waiting in a room
All dressed up and bound and gagged up to a chair
It's so unfair
I won't dare to move
For the pain she puts me through is what I need
So make it bleed
I'm in distress
Oh mistress I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are to tight
Well you know I will obey
So please don't make me beg
For blood sex and booze you give me
Say I'm disturbed
It's what I deserve
Another lesson to be learned
From a girl called kill
My head is in the gutter
Thank you sir strink up anoher madaolin
Of discipline
Throw me to the dogs
Let them eat my flesh down to the wood
It feels so good
I'm in distress
Oh mistress I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are to tight
Well you know I will obey
So please don't make me beg
For blood sex and booze you give me
Say I'm disturbed
It's what I deserve
Another lesson to be learned
From a girl called kill (wooh)
Oh oh
I'm in distress
Oh mistress I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are to tight
Well you know I will obey
So please don't make me beg
For blood sex and booze you give me
Oh oh
Oh oh
I'll show you a real time

Points of Authority
ALBUM · Hybrid Theory (2000)
Forfeit the game before somebody else, takes you out of the
frame, puts your
Name to shame
Cover up your face, you can’t run the race, the pace is too fast,
you just
Wont last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life my pride is broken
You like to think you’re never wrong
You have to act like you’re someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you’ve been through (you live what you learn)
You love the things I say I’ll do
The way I’ll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life my pride is broken
You like to think you’re never wrong
You have to act like you’re someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you’ve been through (you live what you learn)
Numb
ALBUM · Meteora (2003)
I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don’t know what you’re expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step I take is another mistake to you
(caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’ve become so tired so much more aware
I’ve becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can’t you see that you’re smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’ve become so tired so much more aware
I’ve becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’ve become so tired so much more aware
I’ve becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
Faint
ALBUM · Meteora (2003)
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints, but I can help the fact, that everybody can
see these scars
What I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it’s like no matter what I do, I can’t convince you, to just
believe this is real
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I’m not
But I’ll be here ’cause you want what I’ve got
I can’t feel the way I did before
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
Time won’t heal this damage anymore
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
’cause you don’t understand, I do what I can, but sometimes I don’t
make sense
I say what you never wanna say, but I’ve never had a doubt
It’s like no matter what I do, I can’t convince you, for once just
to hear me out
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I’m not
But I’ll be here ’cause you want what I’ve got
I can’t feel the way I did before
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
Time won’t heal this damage anymore
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
Now
Hear me out now
You’re gonna listen to me, like it or not
Right now
Hear me out now
You’re gonna listen to me, like it or not
Right now
I can’t feel the way I did before
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
I can’t feel the way I did before
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
Time won’t heal this damage anymore
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
I can’t feel
I won’t be ignored
Time won’t heal
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
Papercut
ALBUM · Hybrid Theory (2000)
LYRICS Papercut
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here’s not right today
why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia’s all I got left
I don’t know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed / but
I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It’s like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
[it watches everything]
So I know that when it’s time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me right underneath my skin
It’s like I’m paranoid lookin’ over my back
It’s like a whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know I’ve got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You’ve got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia’s probably worse
I don’t know what set me off first but I know what I can’t stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can’t add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when they close their eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
[and watches everything]
So you know that when it’s time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
A Place for My Head
ALBUM · Hybrid Theory (2000)
watch how the
Moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn’t give life to the moon to assuming
The moon’s going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do
Favors and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
I’m sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed -
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
[you’ll see it’s not meant to be]
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I’ll be just like you and
Step on people like you do and run away
The people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should’ve known
That you’d wear out your welcome
Now you see
How quiet it is all alone
I’m so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I’m so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed -
While I find a place to rest
You try to take the best of me
Go away
One Step Closer
ALBUM · Hybrid Theory (2000)
LYRICS I cannot take this anymore
I’m saying everything I’ve said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you’ll say
You’ll find that out anyway
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
’cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I find the answers aren’t so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before...
Every thing you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
’cause I’m one step closer to the edge,
And I’m about to break!
Every thing you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
’cause I’m one step closer to the edge,
And I’m about to break!
Shut up when I’m talking to you!
Shut up! shut up! shut up!
Shut up when I’m talking to you!
Shut up! shut up! shut up! shut up!
I’m about to break
Every thing you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
’cause I’m one step closer to the edge,
And I’m about to break!

ALBUM · Hybrid Theory (2000)
Forfeit the game before somebody else, takes you out of the
frame, puts your
Name to shame
Cover up your face, you can’t run the race, the pace is too fast,
you just
Wont last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life my pride is broken
You like to think you’re never wrong
You have to act like you’re someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you’ve been through (you live what you learn)
You love the things I say I’ll do
The way I’ll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life my pride is broken
You like to think you’re never wrong
You have to act like you’re someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you’ve been through (you live what you learn)
Numb
ALBUM · Meteora (2003)
I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don’t know what you’re expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step I take is another mistake to you
(caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’ve become so tired so much more aware
I’ve becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can’t you see that you’re smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’ve become so tired so much more aware
I’ve becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’ve become so tired so much more aware
I’ve becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
Faint
ALBUM · Meteora (2003)
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints, but I can help the fact, that everybody can
see these scars
What I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it’s like no matter what I do, I can’t convince you, to just
believe this is real
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I’m not
But I’ll be here ’cause you want what I’ve got
I can’t feel the way I did before
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
Time won’t heal this damage anymore
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
’cause you don’t understand, I do what I can, but sometimes I don’t
make sense
I say what you never wanna say, but I’ve never had a doubt
It’s like no matter what I do, I can’t convince you, for once just
to hear me out
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I’m not
But I’ll be here ’cause you want what I’ve got
I can’t feel the way I did before
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
Time won’t heal this damage anymore
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
Now
Hear me out now
You’re gonna listen to me, like it or not
Right now
Hear me out now
You’re gonna listen to me, like it or not
Right now
I can’t feel the way I did before
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
I can’t feel the way I did before
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
Time won’t heal this damage anymore
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
I can’t feel
I won’t be ignored
Time won’t heal
Don’t turn your back on me
I won’t be ignored
Papercut
ALBUM · Hybrid Theory (2000)
LYRICS Papercut
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here’s not right today
why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia’s all I got left
I don’t know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed / but
I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It’s like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
[it watches everything]
So I know that when it’s time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me right underneath my skin
It’s like I’m paranoid lookin’ over my back
It’s like a whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know I’ve got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You’ve got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia’s probably worse
I don’t know what set me off first but I know what I can’t stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can’t add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when they close their eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
[and watches everything]
So you know that when it’s time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
A Place for My Head
ALBUM · Hybrid Theory (2000)
watch how the
Moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn’t give life to the moon to assuming
The moon’s going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do
Favors and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
I’m sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed -
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
[you’ll see it’s not meant to be]
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I’ll be just like you and
Step on people like you do and run away
The people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should’ve known
That you’d wear out your welcome
Now you see
How quiet it is all alone
I’m so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I’m so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed -
While I find a place to rest
You try to take the best of me
Go away
One Step Closer
ALBUM · Hybrid Theory (2000)
LYRICS I cannot take this anymore
I’m saying everything I’ve said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you’ll say
You’ll find that out anyway
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
’cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I find the answers aren’t so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before...
Every thing you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
’cause I’m one step closer to the edge,
And I’m about to break!
Every thing you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
’cause I’m one step closer to the edge,
And I’m about to break!
Shut up when I’m talking to you!
Shut up! shut up! shut up!
Shut up when I’m talking to you!
Shut up! shut up! shut up! shut up!
I’m about to break
Every thing you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
’cause I’m one step closer to the edge,
And I’m about to break!
