Lyrics
[Spoken Word Intro] Billie: Wanna start a fucking war! Radio presenter: [...] [Verse 1] Hear the sound of the fallin' rain Comin' down like an Armageddon flame (Hey) The shame, the ones who died without a name Hear the dogs howlin' out of key To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey) And bleed, the company lost the war today [Chorus] I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives On holiday [Verse 2] Hear the drum poundin' out of time Another protester has crossed the linе (Hey) To find the money's on thе other side (Brothers and sisters!) Can I get another Amen? (Amen) There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey) A gag, a plastic bag on a monument (Hey) [Chorus] I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives On holiday (Hey) [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] Hey [Interlude] Give it up Manchester! The representative of Manchester now has the floor [Bridge] Sieg Heil to the President Gasman Bombs away is your punishment Pulverize the Eiffel Towers Who criticize your government Bang-bang goes the broken glass, and Kill all the fags that don't agree Trials by fire, settin' fire Is not a way that's meant for me Just 'cause (Hey, hey, hey, hey) Just 'cause, because we're outlaws, yeah (Hey, hey, hey, hey) [Chorus] I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives This is our lives on holiday (England!) [Spoken Word Outro] Radio presenter: The station you're listening to now is Absolute Radio Billie: How many lost Green Day fans are out there now?
