Maria (Early Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong] She smashed the radio with the board of education Turn up the static left of the state of the nation [Pre-Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong] Turn up the flame, step on the gas Burning the flag at half mast She's the rebel's forgotten son An export of the revolution [Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong] She is the first voice of the last ones in the line She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive [Pre-Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong] Bring in the head of the government The dog ate the document Somebody shot the president And no one knows where Maria went? [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong with Mike Dirnt] Maria, Maria Maria, where did you go? [Bridge: Billie Joe Armstrong] She questions what you're offering Your breath lacks the conviction Drawing the line in the dirt Because the last decision is no It's no [Guitar Solo: Billie Joe Armstrong] [Verse 3: Billie Joe Armstrong] She smashed the radio with the board of education Turn up the static left of the state of the nation [Pre-Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong] Turn up the flame, step on the gas Burning the flag at half mast She's the rebel's forgotten son An export of the revolution [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong with Mike Dirnt] Maria, Maria Maria, where did you go? Maria, Maria Maria, where did you go?
