Warning (album)

Warning is the sixth studio album by Green Day, released in 2000. Building upon its predecessor, the album eschews their trademark punk sound for a predominantly acoustic effort. It is known for being the first album since Green Day signed with Reprise to not feature Rob Cavallo as producer, although he still had a hand in production.
Although Warning reached #4 on the charts and went gold, the album clearly displayed the fact that Green Day were not enjoying the success they had earned in the past, and held a less prominent spot in the mainstream. Despite its high critical response, it represented the lowest commercial slump in the band's career since their 1994 breakthrough Dookie. Many speculated that Green Day had painted themselves into a corner and would be unable to return to punk music. Nonetheless, many fans hold this album in high regard as being creative, experimental, and overall musically successful.
As of April 2017, Warning has sold 1,000,000 units in the US and 4,000,000 in the UK.

Warning (song)/lyrics

This is a public service announcement, this is only a test
Emergency evacuation protest
May impair your ability to operate machinery
Can't quite tell just what it means to me
Keep out of reach of children, don't you talk to strangers
Get your philosophy from a bumper sticker
Warning, live without warning
Say warning, live without warning
Without, alright
Better homes and safety-sealed communities
Did you remember to pay the utility?
Caution: Police line, you better not cross
Is it the cop, or am I the one that´s really dangerous?
Sanitation, expiration date, question everything
Or shut up and be a victim of authority
Warning, live without warning
Say warning, live without warning
Say warning, live without warning
Say warning, live without warning
Without, alright
Better homes and safety-sealed communities
Did you remember to pay the utility?
Caution: Police line, you better not cross

Welcome to Paradise

"Welcome to Paradise" is a song from Green Day. It was originally released as the third track on Kerplunk! and was later re-recorded and included as track 5 on Dookie. It was even released as second single from that album, following after "Longview". It also plays after "Longview" on the album and precedes "Pulling Teeth" on the track listing. For Kerplunk, "Welcome to Paradise" comes after "One for the Razorbacks" and before "Christie Road".
The Dookie version was later released as the fourth track on International Superhits! and the third track on Greatest Hits: God's Favorite Band.
== Song meaning ==
"Welcome to Paradise" is based on the band's experience moving out of their parents' houses and into an abandoned house in Oakland, California. Green Day, along with a number of others, lived there without paying rent. The house was pretty broken-down, yet they felt at home.
Lyrically, the song begins with the narrator communicating to his mother three weeks after he moved out her home. He mentions his fear of being on his own, and even misses his old home (Dear mother can you hear me whining? It's been three whole weeks since I have left your home). At the same time he is proud of independently living. Eventually, after six months, the narrator's initial fears vanish, and he is happy to live independently in his own "paradise" (Dear mother can you hear me laughing).
== Other versions ==
*A live performance of "Welcome to Paradise" is featured on the live EPs Foot in Mouth and Live Tracks, respectively included as the second and first track. This performance took place on March 11, 1994 at Jannus Landing in St. Petersburg, Florida.
== Track list ==
#"Welcome to Paradise" – 3:45
#"Chump" (live) – 2:44 (performed March 11, 1994 at Jannus Landing in St. Petersburg, Florida)
#"Emenius Sleepus" – 1:44
The same live performance of "Chump" is also included on the Live Tracks EP.
== Music video ==
A music video was created for the Dookie version, which simply features Green Day performing live. It is one of two music videos from before the American Idiot era that is not on International Supervideos!, the other being "Macy's Day Parade".
== Usage in media ==
A part of the Dookie version was played in the movie . However, it was not included on the movie's soundtrack release. "Welcome to Paradise" was also featured in the trailer for .
"Welcome to Paradise" and the entire Dookie album is playable on Green Day: Rock Band.
== Lyrics ==
== Trivia ==
*The opening riff is reminiscent of "Blitzkrieg Bop" by the Ramones if one were to take the same chords but play the progression backwards using the same rhythm.

Welcome to Paradise/lyrics

Dear mother
Can you hear me whining?
It's been three whole weeks
Since I left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I
Am out there on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
A wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and
Left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
A wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
Dear mother
Can you hear me laughing?
It's been six whole months since that
I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
A wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
Paradise

Westbound Sign

"Westbound Sign" is the 12th song on Insomniac. Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this song about his wife who moved from Minneapolis to California to be with him.Tweet from Billie Joe
This song has only been played once live, in 1994.Westbound Sign Live count - Green Day Authority
The tite of the song is derived from the direction Billie Joe's wife moved, west towards California.
The song can also be heard in the teaser trailer for the 2006 film Cars.
==Song meaning==
This song is about leaving home to move in with your loved one at the other side of the country. The narrator's girlfriend leaves her home for the unknown, which brings a lot of stress and anxiety, but she's determined to go for it. The narrator is also stressed, not knowing if his girlfriend will fit in his environment ("Will she find her name in the Californian cement / Is tragedy 2,000 miles away?").
This song can be linked with 2000 Light Years Away, in which the narrator mentions his girlfriend living "2,000 light years away" from him. In this song, she found the courage to leave home and take the risk of moving far away from home. At last, they're together now.

Westbound Sign/lyrics

Boxed up
All of her favorite things
Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale
Big plans and leaving friends and
A westbound sign
Weighed out
Her choices on a scale
Prevailing nothing made sense
Just transportation and a
Blank decision...
She's taking off
Taking off...
Taking off...
Taking off...
No time and no copping out
She's burning daylight and petrol
Blacked out the rearview mirror
Heading westward on
Strung out
On confusion road
And 10 minute nervous breakdowns
Xanex a beer for thought
And she determined...
She's taking off
Taking off...
Taking off...
Taking off...
Is it salvation?
Or an escape from discontent?
Will she find her name
In the California cement?
Punched out of the grind
That punched her one too many times...
Is tragedy 2,000 miles away?
She's taking off
Taking off...

Whatsername (song)/lyrics

Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how Whatsername has been
Seems that she disappeared without a trace
Did she ever marry Ol' What's-His-Face?
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how Whatsername has been
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
The regrets are useless
In my mind
She's in my head
I must confess
The regrets are useless
In my mind
She's in my head
From so long ago
(Go, go, go, go..)
And in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I'll never turn back time
Forgetting you, but not the time

When I Come Around

"When I Come Around" is the 10th track and fourth single from Green Day's debut album Dookie. It proved to be the band's most popular radio single in their early career; not only did it top the Modern Rock Tracks for seven weeks, but it also hit #2 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay.
==Song meaning==
"When I Come Around" is about taking it slow in a relationship. The narrator feels they don't need to spend everyday together, he'll just "come around" when he feels like it. He has his doubts about the relationship and thus he doesn't want to go too fast and force things. He wants to take it step by step and only go further when it feels right ("You can't go forcing something if it's just not right"). His girlfriend wants to be more serious in their relationship, but he's still on the prowl for other sexual partners. But when he's done prowling, his thoughts always end up with his girlfriend ("No time to search the world around / 'Cause you know where I'll be found").
Another view on this song is about long-distance relationships. Billie Joe Armstrong met his would-be wife Adrienne while on tour, but she lived far away from him. Therefore it was very hard to maintain a proper relationship. But when he does come around, he'll make up for lost time. "Out on the prowl" could mean that he's touring all over the country, not being able to have a serious relationship while his girl wants exactly that. Life as a touring rock-star isn't easy for relationships on either end.
==Music video==
The music video shows the band walking to different places like the Mission District and a BART station in San Francisco and Berkeley, California at night along with various scenes of people doing common things all inter-related. One of the first scenes of the video eventually leads back to the scene at the end of the video. The band's touring guitarist Jason White can be seen in the video with his then-girlfriend. Mark Kohr directed this video.
Before the video was filmed, MTV used live performance of the song by the band at the 1994 Woodstock Festival.
MTV's Ultimate Albums: Dookie special credited the simple horizontally-striped sweater worn by Billie Joe in the video for starting a fashion trend of similar sweaters.

When I Come Around/lyrics

I heard you crying loud
all the way across town
You've been searching for that someone
and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Don't get lonely now
Dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get 
So uptight you been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
to try and slag me down because I know you're right
So go do what you like
make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your selfdoubt 
means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing something 
if it's just not right
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?

"Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?" is the 11th song on Kerplunk. It comes after "No One Knows" and is followed by "Words I Might Have Ate".
Billie has mentioned in live shows that this song is his favorite off the album. When he was in school, Billie had to read this book for an assignment. He hated it, mostly because he hated being forced doing so. As an adult, Billie read the novel again and found it very "Punk rock".
==Song meaning==
This song is about the novel Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger. Holden Caulfield is the leading character in this novel. Holden feels like an outcast, trying to find his way through adolescence. He wants to move forward in life, but lacks the motivation to do so, which frustrates him. He makes decisions in his head, but doesn't act on them. He keeps everything inside, overthinking everything.
==Lyrics==
Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?/lyrics

A thought burst in my head and I need to tell you
It's news that I for thought
Was it just a dream that happened long ago?
I think that I just forgot
Well it hasn't been the first time
And it sure does drive me mad
There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting.
Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting
I shuffle through my mind
To see if I can find
The words I left behind
Was it just a dream that happened long ago?
Oh well...
Never mind.
Well it hasn't been the first time
And it sure does drive me mad
There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting.
Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting
There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting.
Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting
There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting.
Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting

Why Do You Want Him?

"Why Do You Want Him?" is the second song on the Slappy EP and the 12th song on the compilation album 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. Billie was only 14 years old when he wrote this song and it is the first serious song he has ever written. His mom has a new boyfriend, and he tries to figure out what she sees in him. Billie has 5 siblings and nobody likes the new boyfriend. Nobody can replace their deceased father.
==Song meaning==
It's about being hurt in love once again. The narrator talks about a woman who has to suffer dissapointment after dissapointment in a new relationship, her boyfriend not taking it very seriously. She feels like crap and it makes her wonder if she's making the right decisions in life. Another view on the lyrics could be that she feels guilty about finding a new love after her husband passed away (His memory will always dwell). But she also has her needs and she's afraid she's becoming too desperate to fill these needs, which results in one letdown after the other.
==Lyrics==
Why Do You Want Him?/lyrics

I saw you standing alone
With a sad look on your face
You call him on the phone
Looks like he left you
Without a trace
Tears falling out of your eyes
He's living in a disguise
You've been feeling bad for so long
You wonder if it's right or wrong
Why do you want him?
Why do you want him?
Now many days have gone by
And you still just sit there and cry
You're feeling bad for yourself
His memory will always dwell
You're so obsessed with his love
That's why push came to shove
You've been feeling bad for so long
You wonder if it's right or wrong
Why do you want him?
Why do you want him?
You find a way out
To throw it all the way
But you can bet
You got something to say

Words I Might Have Ate

"Words I Might Have Ate" is the 12th and final song of Kerplunk. It is followed by the song "Sweet Children" on CD and cassette releases of Kerplunk, since the eponymous EP was included as bonus tracks.
==Song meaning==
A broken relationship is the theme of this song. The narrator has made mistakes which made the relationship go bad. He knows what he did wrong and takes the blame on him for all that happened. Now he has to live with it and try to carry on with his life (But now it's gone, and I take the blame / But there's nothing I can do but take the pain). But he keeps looking back, worrying why he made those mistakes and dreaming about the good times they had (Now it seems I can't keep my mind off of you / My brain drifts back to better days we've been through).

Words I Might Have Ate/lyrics

Now it seems I can't keep my mind of you
My brain drifts back to better days we've been through
Like sitting on blacktop of the school grounds
The love I witched about I finally found
But now it's gone and I take the blame
So there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why?
Now I dwell on what you remind me of
A sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
As for me... I am blind without a cause
And now I reazlied what I have lost
It was something real that I could have had
Now I play the fool whose stable soul's gone bad
Why?
Tell me the words I might have said
That's pumping pressure deep inside my head
Was it bad enough to be too late?
Just tell me the words I might have ate
But now it's gone and I take the blame
So there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why?

Working Class Hero

"Working Class Hero" is a song from John Lennon's first post-Beatles solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (1970). It was covered by Green Day for the American Idol Season 6 finale.
==Green Day Cover==
In 2007, Green Day contributed a cover of the song to the Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur, which was released on June 12, 2007, proceeds from which help support Amnesty International's campaign to focus attention on the conflict in Darfur, Sudan. The song was subsequently released as a single and has an accompanying video for the track with director Samuel Bayer. The single was released to radio on April 30, 2007 and on iTunes on May 1, 2007.
When asked why they chose the song, band leader Billie Joe Armstrong said, "We wanted to do 'Working Class Hero' because of its themes of alienation, class, and social status really resonated with us. It's such a raw, aggressive song -- just that line: 'you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see' -- we felt we could really sink our teeth into it. I hope we've done him justice." The song wasn't all Green Day, though; the John Lennon version of the last song line, "If you want to be a hero, well just follow me" was included at the end.
Green Day performed it live at the American Idol Season 6 finale (dropping the offensive words). In accounts of the show, the Associated Press repeatedly miscalled the song "A Working Class Hero Is Something to Be". Since then, the Green Day cover has been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By a Duo/Group w/ Vocals.

Worry Rock

Another sentimental argument and bitter love
Fucked without a kiss again dragged it through the mud
Yelling at brick walls and punching windows made of stone
The worry rock has turned to dust fallen on our pride
A knocked down dragged out fight
Fat lips and open wounds
Another wasted night and no one will take the fall
Where do we go from here
And what did you do with the directions
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road
A knocked down dragged out fight
Fat lips and open wounds
Another wasted night no one will take the fall
Another sentimental argument and bitter love
Fucked without a kiss again dragged it through the mud
Where do we go from here
And what did you do with the directions
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road
