Homecoming (Live from VH1 Storytellers)

Lyrics

[Part I: The Death of St. Jimmy] [Intro: Billie Joe Armstrong] My heart is beatin' from me I am standin' all alone Please call me only If you are comin' home Waste another year flies by Waste a night or two You taught me how to live [Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt & Jason White] In the streets of shame Where you've lost your dreams in the rain There's no signs of hope The stems and seeds of the last of the dope There's a glow of light The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night Bearing gifts and trust A fixture in the city of lust [Chorus 1: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt & Jason White, All] (Ooh) What the hell's your name? (Ooh) What's your pleasure? What is your pain? (Ooh) Do you dream too much? Do you think what you need is a crutch? [Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt & Jason White] In the crowd of pain St. Jimmy comes without any shame He says, "We're fucked up, but we're not the same And Mom and Dad are the ones you can blame" [Chorus 2: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt & Jason White, All] (Ooh) Jimmy died today (Ooh) He blew his brains out into the bay (Ooh) In the state of mind It's my own private suicide [Part II: East 12th St.] [Intro: Billie Joe Armstrong, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt & Jason White] Well, nobody cares, well, nobody cares Does anyone care if nobody cares? Well, nobody cares, well, nobody cares Does anyone care if nobody cares? [Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Mike Dirnt & Jason White, All] Jesus fillin' out paperwork now (Ooh-Ooh-Ooh) At the facility on East 12th Street He's not listening to a word now (Ooh-Ooh-Ooh) He's in his own world and he's daydreaming He'd rather be doin' somethin' else now (Ooh-Ooh-Ooh) Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly His life's on the line with anxiety now (Ooh-Ooh-Ooh) She had enough, (alright) and he had plenty [Chorus: Mike Dirnt & Jason White] Somebody get me out of here Anybody get me out of here Somebody get me out of here Get me the fuck right out of here [Bridge: Billie Joe Armstrong, Jason White, Both] (Ah) So far away, I don't wanna stay (Ah) Get me outta here right now (Ah) I just wanna be free, is there a possibility? (Ah) Get me outta here right now, ow, ow, ow, ow Right This lifelike dream ain't for me [Part III: Nobody Likes You] [Verse 1: Mike Dirnt & Jason White] I fell asleep while watching Spike TV After ten cups of coffee and you're still not here Dreamin' of a song, but something went wrong And you can't tell anyone 'cause no one's here [Pre-Chorus: Mike Dirnt] Left me here alone And I shoulda stayed home After ten cups of coffee, I'm thinkin' [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt with Jason White, All] (Where'd you... ? )Nobody likes you, everyone left you They're all out without you, havin' fun (Where'd you go?) Everyone left you, nobody likes you They're all out without you, havin' fun (Where'd you go, go, go, go?) [Part IV: Rock and Roll Girlfriend] [Intro: Tré Cool, Billie Joe Armstrong] Jeez Ladies and gentlemen, Mister Tré Cool [Verse 1: Tré Cool, All, Billie Joe Armstrong with Mike Dirnt] I got a rock and roll band, I got a rock and roll life I got a rock and roll girlfriend and another ex-wife I got a rock and roll house, I got a rock and roll car I play the shit out the drums and I can play the guitar I got a kid in New York, I got a kid in the Bay I haven't drank or smoked nothin' in (don't want to be an American idiot) over twenty-two days [Chorus: Tré Cool] So get off my case Off of my case Off of my case [Part V: We're Coming Home Again] [Intro: Mike Dirnt & Jason White] Hey [Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt with Jason White] Here they come, marchin' down the street (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Like a desperation murmur of a heartbeat (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Comin' back from the edge of town Underneath their feet The time has come and it's goin' nowhere (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Nobody ever said that life was fair now (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear In the summer heat [Pre-Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt & Jason White] The world is spinnin' 'round and 'round out of control again The 7-Eleven to the fear of breakin' down So send my love a letterbomb And visit me in Hell We're the ones goin' [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt & Jason White] Home, we're comin' home again Home, we're comin' home again [Bridge: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt & Jason White] (Ooh) started fuckin' runnin' as soon as my feet touched ground (Ooh)We're back in the barrio, and to you and me, that's Jingletown that's [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt & Jason White, Billie Joe Armstrong] Home, we're comin' home again Home, we're comin' home again Home, we're comin' home again Home, we're comin' home again Home, we're comin' home again Home, we're comin' home again Home, oh, we're comin' home again Home, we're comin' home again [Outro: Mike Dirnt] Nobody likes you, everyone left you They're all out without you havin' fun
