Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to do.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
I hope you had the time of your life.
I hope you had the time of your life.
Nimrod

One of my favorite Green Day song. It's slow and simple, and it just called for a song comment.

This song can make me feel happy (or at least a little better) about almost any event in my life. It's comforting, after hearing it over all these years.

BEST song on EARTH. Well, okay, one of them. In a certain mood. When I'm thrashy and angry and I hear it, I want to CHOKE IT because everyone puts it in graduation speeches and plays it at their parties, and...ugh. But, hey, you choke the ones you love, right? When it's not May or June, I can listen to it over and over again by choice, alone in my corner, with no beer-soaked sluts singing along and not knowing what they're singing along to, no preppy senior reading off the words with wrong intonation. *coughs* I'm bitter. Anyways, this is definitely one of the reasons why I even like Green Day, one of their best songs ever, and one of the best songs ever. The end.

Yes, I believe he says fuck right at the very beginning before starting the guitar part over.

I got mixed emotions for this song. It's really good, but a lot of people just say they love green day because of this song, and don't realize what the rest of their music is about.

They probably love Green Day because of "American Idiot." Anyway, this is an okay song by them.

This song is the worst by Green Day. Leave this music for people like John Mayer and other cornhole stuffing bitches.

this song is great but it isn't THAT great. like, they've got dozens of much stronger songs, on this album alone... dont get me wrong i love it but i just think it's their most popular and, likewise, their most over-rated song.

such a good song. Amazingly beautiful and gorgeously played.

I think shooting tmansdc would be too easy. we'd have to castrate him first, so his seed doesnt spread. And then i'd probably proceed with some sort of cut and cauterize technique, taking his fingers and toes one by one, and sealing the wound with hot iron so he doesn't bleed to death, and can continue to stay alive for the spectacles of his torture. Good times.
