St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway
Up on the boulevard like a zip code on parade
Life on the sillohette
He's insubordinate
Coming at you on account of wonder
1,2,1,2,3,4!

My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
Suicide gone mental that your momma talked about
King of the forty theives
Didn't mean to represent
That needle in the vein of the establishment

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

igarettes and rum in hand a little bag to sell
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe
Race to the city in the hail of light
But ain't it worth it that we've been victimized

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

You talkin' to me?

I'll give you something to cry about.

ST. JIMMY!

My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun
I am the one that's runaway out of town now
A teenage assasin makes the killing so fun
And the cult of the lipo crowd now

I really hate to say it but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down old boy
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
And the resident leader at the lost and found

It's comedy and tragedy
It's St. Jimmy
And that's my nameeeeeee...and don't wear it out!
American Idiot

actually, the name of the mentally challenged kid on south park is Timmy you ignorant fuck, and for someone who hates green day, you sure do contribute a lot of your time to commenting on their songs.

this song is sweet.

Actually, there are TWO "retards" on South Park; Timmy, the mentally challenged kid on a wheelchair, and Jimmy, the kid on crutches that stutters when he speaks.

By the way, this is a very good song. Their most recent album is kick ass so far.

South Park is a terrible show. I guess I'm not surprised that Big D is so in to it.

A really good fast paced song. I find that they're really lacking more songs like this one.

I've always like Green Day, great band and all, but they got big exposure with this album and are a bit over-rated. Whatever though. Still a great album.
