Paper Lanterns (Woodstock 1994)

Lyrics

[Intro: Billie Joe Armstrong] Oww! [Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong] Now I rest my head from such an endless dreary time A time of hopes and happiness that had you on my mind Those days are gone and now it seems as if I'll get some rest But now and then I'll see you again and it puts my heart to test [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong] So when are all my troubles gonna end? I'm understanding now that we are only friends To this day I'm asking why I still think about- [Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong] As the days go on I wonder will this ever end? I find it hard to keep control when you're with your boyfriend I do not mind if all I am is just a friend to you All I want to know right now is if you think about me too [Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong] So when are all my troubles gonna end? I'm understanding now that we are only friends To this day I'm asking why I still think about- Oww! [Guitar Solo: Billie Joe Armstrong] Say hey! [Billie Joe Mud Fight] [Spoken] This isn't love and peace, its fucking anarchy (*Billie Joe removes his pants while Mike plays bass laying down, Billie Joe then rolls back onto the stage and throws more mud*) Hey look at me I'm a fucking idiot (Billie Joe starts banging microphone on the stage multiple times) Alright Everybody on this side say "Rock and Roll" Rock and Roll! Everybody on this side, say "Shut the fuck up" Shut the fuck up! Rock and roll! Rock and Roll! Shut the fuck up! Rock and Roll! Shut the fuck up! We're not gonna take it No, we ain't gonna take it We're not gonna take it anymore No, we ain't gonna take it You gotta fight For your right (Mumbling) Future idiot! (What'd he say?) (Future idiot!) (Alright baby!) Walk away walk away, walk away walk away! Hey, where's Andy Hoffen I have to hit him in the head with a guitar Alright everybody Shh! Be quiet! Be very quiet! No shh!

Ladies and gentlemen, Wavy Gravy He's not a hippy, he's a punk rocker He's idiots, just like you guys Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll, shut the fuck up Hey, everybody say shut the fuck up, and we'll stop playing Okay, one two three Shut the fuck up!
