GREEN DAY LYRICS - Homecoming

"Homecoming"



[Part 1: The death of St. Jimmy]



My heart is beating from me

I am standing all alone

Please call me only if you are coming home

Waste another year flies by

Waste a night or two

You taught me how to live

In the streets of shame

Where you've lost your dreams in the rain

There's no signs of hope

The stems and seeds of the last of the dope

There's a glow of light

The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night

Bearing gifts and trust

The fixture in the city of lust

What the hell's your name?

What's your pleasure and whats your pain?

Do you dream to much?

Do you think what you need is a crutch?

In the crowd of pain. St. Jimmy comes without any shame

He says “we're fucked up”

But we're not the same

And mom and dad are the ones you can blame



Jimmy died today



He blew his brains out into the bay

In the state of mind it's my own private suicide



[Part 2: East 12th St.]



Well nobody cares

Well nobody cares

Does anyone care if nobody cares?

[x2]



Jesus filling out paperwork now

At the facility on east 12th st.

He's not listening to a word now

He's in his own world

And he's daydreaming



He'd rather be doing something else now,

Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly,

His life's on the line with anxiety now,

And she had enough,

And he had plenty



Somebody get me out of here

Anybody get me out of here

Somebody get me out of here

Get me the fuck right out of here



So far away

I don't want to stay

Get me out of here right now

I just wanna be free

Is there a possibility?

Get me out of here right now

This life like dream ain't for me



[Part 3: Nobody likes you!]



I fell asleep while watching spike TV

After 10 cups of coffee

And you're still not here

Dreaming of a song

But something went wrong

But I can't tell anyone

'Cause no one's here

Left me here alone

And I should have stayed home

After 10 cups of coffee I'm thinking

(where'd you go?)

Nobody likes you, everyone left you

(where'd you go?)

They're all out without you havin' fun

(where'd you go?)

Everyone left you, nobody likes you

(where'd you go?)

They're all out without you havin' fun

(where'd you go..go..go..go..)



Geeze...Ha..



[Part 4: Rock and roll girlfriend]

[written and sung by Tre Cool]



I got a rock and roll band

I got a rock and roll life

I got a rock and roll girlfriend

And another ex-wife

I got a rock and roll house

I got a rock and roll car

I play the shit out the drums

And I can play the guitar

I got a kid in New York

I got a kid in the bay

I haven't drank or smoked nothin'

In over 22 days

So get off my case

Off of my case

Off of my case!



[Part 5: We're coming home again]



Here they come marching down the street

Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat

Coming back from the edge of town

Underneath their feet

The time has come and it going nowhere

Nobody ever said that life was fair now

Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear

In the summer heat

The world is spinning

Around and around

Out of control again

From the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down

To send my love a letterbomb

And visit me in hell

We're the ones going



Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again



I started fuckin' running

As soon as my feet touched the ground

We're back in the Barrio

But to you and me, that's jingle town



Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again



Nobody likes you

Everyone left you

They're all out without you havin' fun
