Green Day —
Holiday

Lyrics by Billie Joe and Music by Green Day

Say, hey,
Cha.

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame.
The shame, the ones who died without a name.
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called “Faith and misery”
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
To find the money’s on the other side.
Can I get another “Amen”? (Amen.)
There’s a flag wrapped around a score of men.
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.

   The representative
   From California has the floor.

   Zieg 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 fire

   Is not a way that’s meant for me.
   Just ‘cause,
   Just ‘cause, because we’re outlaws, yeah.

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.
