Green Day
St. Jimmy (Live at Makuhari Messe, Tokyo, Japan, 3/19/05)
[Intro: Billie Joe Armstrong, crowd]
St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway
Up on the boulevard like a zip gun on parade
Lights of a silhouette, he's insubordinate
Coming at you on the count of one, two
(One, two, three, four)
[Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]
My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
Suicide commando that your mama talked about
King of the forty thieves, and I'm here to represent
The needle in the vein of the establishment
[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong, Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal
Tokyo
[Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allan Poe
Raised in the city under a halo of lights
The product of war and fear that we've been victimized
[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong, Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal
[Post-Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Are you talking to me?
[Refrain: Billie Joe Armstrong]
St. Jimmy
Hey, let's go
[Bridge: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt with Jason White]
My name is St. Jimmy, I'm a son of a gun
I'm the one that's from the way outside (St. Jimmy)
A teenage assassin executing some fun
In the cult of the life of crime (St. Jimmy)
I'd really hate to say it but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down, ol' boy (St. Jimmy)
Welcome to the club, give me some blood
I'm the resident, everybody
[Outro]
It's comedy and tragedy
It's St. Jimmy, and that's my name
And don't you fuckin' wear it out
