Green Day
Holiday (Live at Irving Plaza, New York, NY, 9/21/04)
[Intro]
Alright, this is the third song on our album (Woo)
This next song is called "Holiday"
This is not an anti-American song
This song is anti-war
[Verse 1]
Hear the sound of the fallin' rain
Comin' down like an Armageddon flame (Hey)
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howlin' 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
[Verse 2]
Hear the drum poundin' out of time
Another protester has crossed the linе (Hey)
To find the money's on thе other side
Can I get another amen? (Amen)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument
[Chorus]
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
[Post-Chorus]
(Hey)
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
The representative of New York now has the floor
Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers
Who criticize your government
Bang-bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fires
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just 'cause (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Just 'cause, because we're outlaws, yeah (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
[Chorus]
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
