She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

From Chicago to Toronto
She's the one that they
Call old whatsername

She's the symbol
of resistance
and she's holding on my
heart like a hand grenade

is she dreaming
what I'm thinking
is she the mother of all bombs
gonna detonate

is she trouble
like I'm trouble
make it a double
twist of fate
or a melody that

sings the revolution
the dawning of our lives
she brings the liberation
that I just cant define
nothing comes to mind

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

She's a rebel, She's a rebel, She's a rebel, And she's dangerous
She's a rebel, She's a rebel, She's a rebel, And she's dangerous
American Idiot

Song Facts  
It modulates from the previous track's key signature of A down a step to G major. Its chord structure is simplistic even by the standards of punk rock, progressing in an ordinary I-V-IV pattern in power chords (which changes to the equally common I-IV-V in the verse). This song is Whatsername's "introduction" song, much like the songs Jesus of Suburbia and St. Jimmy. However, this song is not written from the point of view of the person it describes. Whatsername's "voice" is later heard in "Extraordinary Girl" and "Letterbomb." The song bears striking similarity to Molly's Lips by The Vaselines (covered by Nirvana), Boxcar by Jawbreaker, and Motivation by Sum 41.

Kifisonfire 		thegothicking: I think it is, I always thought it was with that. Anyway it's an amazing song, but did they steal the riff from NOFX - Franco Un-American a little?
