Lyrics

Well I am just a mutt
And nowhere is my home
Where dignity's a land mine
In the school of lost hope		(Verse 1)
I've panhandled for life
Because I'm not afraid to beg
Hand me down your lost and founds
Of second hand regrets

Better swallow your pride
Before you choke on it
Better digest your values		
Because they turn to shit		(Chorus)
Honour's gonna knock you down
Before your chance
To stand up and fight
Well I know I'm not the one
I got no pride

Sects of disconnection
And traditions of lost faith
No culture's worth a stream of piss
Or bullet in my face
To hell with unity			(Verse 2)
Separation'll kill us all
Torn to shreds and disjointed
Before the final fall

(Chorus)
(Intro)
(Chorus)

I got no pride

Armstrong ganhou sua primeira guitarra do pai, que a deu ao filho antes de morrer. Hoje o vocalista chama a Ferdnandez Stratocaster de "Blue".

O nome da banda foi inspirado num dia em que eles fizeram nada além de fumar maconha e curtir a vida.

Mike Dirnt foi adotado e seus pais adotivos são, hoje, divorciados.

Já se imaginou jogando vídeo-game controlando Billie Joe Armstrong sobre um skate? Pois ele é um personagem do jogo Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.

Todos os membros do Green Day têm a sigla "E.B.P.M" tatuada em algum lugar do corpo. A sigla significa "East Bay Punk Mafia".
