Before The Lobotomy - Green Day

Edit

Dreaming

I was only dreaming

Of another place and time

Where my family’s from



Singing

I can hear them singing

When the rain had washed away

All these scattered dreams



Dying

Everyone’s reminded

Hearts are washed in misery

Drenched in gasoline



Laughter

There is no more laughter

Songs of yesterday

Now live in the underground



Life before the lobotomy

Christian sang the eulogy

Sign my love a lost memory

From the end of the century



Well, it’s enough to make you sick

To cast a stone and throw a brick

But when the sky is falling down

It burned your dreams into the ground



Christian’s lesson is what he’s been sold

We are normal and self-controlled

Remember to learn to forget

Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes



Well I’m not stoned

I’m just fucked up

I got so high I can’t stand up

Well I’m not cursed ‘cause I’ve been blessed

I’m not in love ‘cause I’m a mess



Like refugees

We’re lost like refugees

Like refugees

We’re lost like refugees

The brutality of reality

Is the freedom that keeps me from



Dreaming

I was only dreaming

Of another place and time

Where my family’s from



Singing

I can hear them singing

When the rain had washed away

All these scattered dreams



Dying

Everyone’s reminded

Hearts are washed in misery

Drenched in gasoline



Laughter

There is no more laughter

Songs of yesterday

Now live in the underground
