[Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Breakin' in a sweat, like a bomb threat
Is your silhouette fading out?
Nothing left to lose, detonate the fuse
Another breakin' news blowout
Ain't it beautiful? So unusual?
Life's a gas, and it's running out
Living a cliché, gonna seize the day
Bottle rockets and celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate

[Chorus: Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
Carpe diem, a battle cry
Aren't we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die?

[Refrain 1: Armstrong]
Making a living, making a killing
What's worth forgiving? Alright

[Verse 2: Armstrong]
A blink of an eye, barely scraping by
Dominated by passerby's
Feeling out of luck when the traffic's stuck
And you're feeling so left behind
Getting off a binge, get a second wind
Another promise to make a change
Got a broken wing, hear the angels sing
When the signal is out of range
Ain't it strange? Ain't it strange?
[Chorus: Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
Carpe diem, a battle cry
Aren't we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die?

[Refrain 2: Armstrong]
Making a living, making a killing
What's worth forgiving? Alright
Hey!

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain 3: Armstrong, Mike Dirnt]
Making a living (Making a living)
Making a killing (Making a killing)
What's worth forgiving, alright?
Right!

[Chorus: Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
Carpe diem, a battle cry
Aren't we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die?
Carpe diem, a battle cry
Aren't we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die?
[Outro: Armstrong, Dirnt, Tre Cool]
Fuck yeah!
So, my [?]
Oh yeah, dude, Tre Cool is in the house!
