Nobody likes you...
Everyone left you...
They're all out without you...
Having fun...

Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly stacks up ten high
The dummy failed the crash test
Now collecting unemployment checks
Like a flunkie along for the ride

Where have all the riots gone
As the city's motto gets pulverised?
"What's in love is now in debt"
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse

The town bishop is an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist
Stand still when it's do or die,
You better run for your fucking life

It's not over till your underground
It's not hope before it's too late
This city's burnin'
"It's not my burden"
It's not over before it's too late

There is nothing left to analyze

Where will all the martyrs go
When the virus cures itself?
And where will we all go when it's too late?

And don't look back

You're not the Jesus of Suburbia
The St. Jimmy is a figment of
Your father's rage and your mother's love
Made me the Idiot America

It's not over till your underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burnin
"It's not my burden"
It's not over before it's too late

She said "I can't take this place
I'm leaving it behind"
Well she said "I can't take this town
I'm leaving you tonight."
American Idiot

I enjoy this song quite a bit. I don't think it's the best on the cd, but it's still a great song.

I like how this song starts out. The goes into a quick paste formula that connects. I find that letterbomb could have been the outro great way to end the cd. Although whatshername was a good ender to.

Something people afraid of today's terrors can relate to. Still a pretty good song from their most recent studio album though.
