green day - horseshoes and handgrenades LYRICS

[TheLocoHobo]

I'm not sure what you guys hear when this song plays...maybe green day...maybe last night...but I see Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten prancing around for 3 minutes. Yeah, Punk's heart still beats!

[masaki1116]

My favorite song!

[villadavid4ever]

Only good song on this AWFUL album. Doesn't surprise me that it was actually written a long time ago.

American Idiot was just not for me, but 21stCB SUCKS

[bacardi119]

The best song obn the album!

[pyroguy1104]

Can't we just get along? We're both human beings. We both like Green Day. As I can see from your profile, we both like Halo and Team Fortress 2. Big deal if I watch My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

[OwSauron]

i just bought this cd and i've been listening to it 24/7. and now this is stuck in my head..

[TakechipsNrun]

nananananaaaaaaa

[karimn97]

@ibecreative14 Nice...

[greendayfan2109]

3:11 was from filming know your emeny good pic

[Knze0relty4]

Only Green Day can pull off a song like this ;)

[edguyftw]

something reminded me of the hives.. hah green day rules

[idlebelizeans]

@edguyftw I think it's cause this is the same key as Try it again and they start on the same chord progression for the first few bars x} lemme know if I'm wrong.

[Ibecreative14]

I hope my neighbors like this song,

[XBLspartanx170]

all rise for the anti-brony anthem.

[pyroguy1104]

@XBLspartanx170 Why must you hate bronies? What have we done to hurt you? Does it really matter all that much?

[XBLspartanx170]

@pyroguy1104 it matters to the point were id fucking kill myself. no im serious.

[pyroguy1104]

@XBLspartanx170 Honestly, I pity your closed mindedness.

[XBLspartanx170]

@pyroguy1104 closeminded? why would i be closed minded if i listen to punk rock

[kelleshy]

seriously are best shoes ever no one has listened to this in four days ?

[greetlesday13]

I was sitting around listening to this song and when he said "Chuck Taylors" I had a complete senile moment. I couldn't remember what they were so I was sitting there like an idiot thinking "WTF are Chuck Taylors?" Then I was all like, "Oh yea!!!" and I got all excited cuz I remembered :) Converse = best shoes ever

[dundeerox]

@katie007 u rule

[dundeerox]

I remember accidently learning to play this on the guitar. I was attempting the solo on prosthetic head XD

[BuckRox123]

well, im a hater, a traitor in a pair of Chuck Tailors right now!!! and i legitly am!!! i just got my new converses: black :D

[HeavenOfRock1]

i'm trying to learn to sing this song with my band but i died at 1:56

[greendayrocksmuch]

@HeavenOfRock1 that's really hard! BJ sang this just once!

[HeavenOfRock1]

@greendayrocksmuch i know every time i sang the screaming part i start tearing up and turn red and get a headache!!! xD

[icemegapeter]

there's an achievement in red dead redemption that is what about hand grenades for winning with a ringer in horseshoes, now i get it

[killerfart123456789]

I don't like 21 guns or wake me up when september ends, this is the real shit

[ajizzle3159]

i used to throw horseshoes and handgrenades...then i took an arrow to the knee

[jesusofsuburbia911]

Saw these guys live in 2009 in Houston... REALLY wished they would have played this song.

[darthmoop]

Oh hey Green Day, The Hives are calling, they want their riff back.

[iloveGreenDay28]

Hey @darthmoop Justin Beiber called, he said he wants his fan back. u little bitch! how dare you coment negitivly on GREEN DAY! :P

[darthmoop]

@iloveGreenDay28

dude I hate Justin Beiber and I like Green Day a lot. But check out Main Offender and tell me I am wrong, it's near the same riff. I don't know why you thought I like Justin Beiber, he's a little prick. Green Day is in my top 5 favorite bands, I'm just pointing out this is a Hives song. So chill the fuck out.

[iloveGreenDay28]

@darthmoop yo dude im sorry im on my period......... im very truely sorry.....

[bohdiyoung]

if i get 100 likes i will sing this at school :)

[DropDeadDelirious09]

I felt like he was talking about the Philippines because Gloria Arroyo is a bitch (in my opinion) and stuff but I know that he's not talking about her... :)

[theanniestein]

"demolition, self-destruction" <3<3<3

[loiuhbgkendbglk]

2:41 he says "i'm not fucking around. i think i'm coming out. well, i'm a hater, a traitor, and a pair of chuck tailors right now." i have the cd and it has all the lyrics in it.

[adnerbaleinad14]

It is good music!!!!... :D i love the song !!

[jankezet]

[FalloutBadger]

[rokkarokkaali]

@JordanHowieMusic some kid sang soul sisters and was like the only one the others were to scared

he could at least sang this and made everyone dance...

[ZOMGItsSkeffry]

There was a dance at my school last night. If they played this song, I don' care, I'd start a moshpit up in the cafeteria. And , if I did, all hell would have broken loose.

[hernancasadesus]

[witeksworld]

once again dont hate green day or else..

[thisismines1]

But I still gave you 5 syars

[thisismines1]

You got these lyrics from a website. I don't mean to be a smartass or dumbass, but some of the lyrics are wrong at the end. It should be "i'm a hater, a traitor, in a pair of Chuck Taylor's right now" instead of "all the cheaters, decievers, I think we got a bleeder right now". Sorry I just had to point that out, I went to the same lyric website, and came up with the exact same lyrics...

[Ollie22yay]

23 people are fucking around >:I

[Brigister]

This is the most underrated song in this album

[punkred67]

@Brigister I totally agree. It deserves more than it gets

[emolovermusic19]

i konw it sounds weird but uh... i have so much in common with these lyrics

[missycheesy1]

his scream is funny

[CrazyBananaThing]

I like the scream at the end :D

[1213takenusername]

man i miss old greenday

[GreenDayBarcelona]

Who the FUCK is Gloria?

[233jester]

@GreenDayBarcelona have you listned to the rest of their songs?

[GreenDayBarcelona]

@233jester yes, of course.... but who is Gloria....there is couple of songs about her....but who is she???

[233jester]

@GreenDayBarcelona well its hard to explain, look ImNoJadedImosniac, and he'll tell you hes pretty good

[GreenDayBarcelona]

@233jester k, thx :)

[233jester]

@GreenDayBarcelona ya, he also has the entire 21st Century Breakdown album uploaded if you want to listen, but hes also really good at what you want to know

[GreenDayBarcelona]

@233jester Ya, I got 21st century brakedown album...so...i'll ask him .. xD

[worryrock71]

I wish he screamed in more songs

[MochaCat123]

billie's scream is sexy, it really is. i love it. <3

[ihg911turbo]

I love play this Fucking Song in Green Day: Rockband

[JimmyUrineLovr]

I love this song and GD and the lyric video is awesome. Great job :)

[StBecky13]

Like if you have chuck taylors!!!!!! i know i do!!

[cerisesbaby10]

I personally don't care about this whole " It's not Green Day's song " controversy. I just love listening to this song. :D

[TheJohnny990]

awsum song

[CraigMcDerm0tt]

Haha, wow Green Day. Shamelessly grave-robbing from two of the bigger singles from the 01-02 'garage rock revival' heyday? I can overlook ripping that opening line from the Vines "Outtathaway," but the Hives definitely deserve royalties for the photocopy you've made of "Main Offender." Embarrassing.

[GreenDayRuIes]

@CraigMcDerm0tt Oh fuck off you don't know shit. Look for more information about what you're saying and you'll understand how wrong you are. And the only reason I cursed you is because you don't even try to find a reason for the similarities between the songs. Maybe you misunderstood something, but Green Day, they're NOT fucking around.

[savannahdumbblondie]

i liek how in the firsdt line of the entire song it has the word fuk in it

[MeganLuvsGreenDay]

@JordanHowieMusic lucky the talent show at my school said no Green Day no meminem no 3oh3 omg i was so mad i whanted to sing 21 guns with my sister so i was forced to lissen to JUSTIN BIEBER the hole freking time!!!

[Tron239]

@MeganLuvsGreenDay That's totally unfair; not all of Green Day's songs have cursing in them.

[MeganLuvsGreenDay]

@Tron239 i know right! i was so P.Oed i whannted to kick my princable in the balls lol

[233jester]

@Tron239 ya, but A LOT of them do

[Tron239]

@233jester Whatsername, She, When I come Around, Pulling Teeth, Good Riddance, Murder City, Restless Heart Syndrome, Give Me Novacaine/She's a Rebel, Last Night on Earth, See the Light, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Waiting, Redundant, Why Do You Want Him, Welcome to Paradise, Last of the American Girls, Sassafras Roots, Warning. (Just to name a few that actually don't.)

[233jester]

@Tron239 dude, i know, but they've produced so many songs, that A LOT is %75, because if you go through all they songs they've made, thats not a lot compared to their other songs

[Tron239]

@233jester I know I was just giving you examples to show that even though a lot of their songs have swearing in them, doesn't mean all of the songs don't. The way you said that sounded like theirs songs without swearing are really rare. A school should ban the song not the band. :)

[233jester]

@Tron239 no, songs without swearing i don't think are rare, but on an overall bases, most have swearing

[Tron239]

@233jester Whatever they still kick ass.

[233jester]

@Tron239 i know, i think there songs are baddass with or with out swearing

[TheRahiros]

Now that I listened to this song, It's time to fucking kill something.

[PorcupineWaffles]

Green Day's best song, imo. ;)

[thatrandomguy84]

Well it looks like i need 9 grenades and 8 horseshoes. >:P

[eddietheguy12]

awsome song

[1990Freddiemercury]

whos gloria?



[EmmieTheDino]

@1990Freddiemercury On this ablum there are 2 characters in the story, Christan and Gloria.

I heard it in an interview :)

[GreenDayRuIes]

@EmmieTheDino Well you don't have to hear an interview you can listen to the album it is quite clear actually...

[EmmieTheDino]

@GreenDayRuIes Its is, I was mentioning that so they wouldn't ask how I knew... It seemed like too much typing to expain that to them...

[GreenDayRuIes]

@EmmieTheDino Oh I get you bro. Gotta know how to talk with the ones-who-don't-know-as-much-as­-we-do if you know what I mean..

[EmmieTheDino]

@GreenDayRuIes Hahaaa, exactly:]

[sofiaxvillafane]

17 people are fucking around

[slashedXwrists]

the 17 dislikes are from beiber loveers

[xxSceneGirlxx17]

<3

[CovichMusic]

Lol main offender



[stprider27]

@CovichMusic exactly what i was thinking

[TheGenerationOfLove]

i think green day needs to rockify hedwigs theme from harry potter like they did with the simpsons theme song.

[TheSamurai712]

replay button rape

[JLLproductions]

why have you got the background as american idiot when the song is off of 21st century breakdown?

[witeksworld]

whoever dislikes green day must be death

[PivotStryker]

@witeksworld Lol, so there's 17 deaths right now? What happened to the good old Reaper?

[MrsGreenDay123]

GREENDAY FUCKING ROCK!!!!!

[AVSGreenDay]

y wasnt this song made into a music video 8(

[BassClarinetManiac19]

Anyone else hear the word fuck repeated a thousand times at 2:01....? lol

[GreenDayRuIes]

@BassClarinetManiac19 It's not fuck its "ah!" LOL

[86RockandJock]

Great Hives song right there...

[SlapHappyJesus]

@86RockandJock The song was written in 1997 with the same sound used today. Greenday and the HIves are good friends and they allowed them to use it for "Main offender". Not the first time I heard someone bring that up actually.

[86RockandJock]

@SlapHappyJesus Where the hell did you get that information....?

Soooo you think Green Day said "Hmmm, Main Offender is a good song, let's ask the Hives if we can copy it, YEAH!" Probably not dude.

[SlapHappyJesus]

@86RockandJock Not trying to sound like an asshole, but at least read my comment before tearing it apart. Greenday wrote the song back in 1997. Up until the last cd, they sat on it and didn't think they were going to do anything with it. They allowed them the music to the song because the bands are known friends. And if you want a link to the information, it is out there. Just look for it. If I happen upon it again, I will link it.

[CraigMcDerm0tt]

@SlapHappyJesus Been looking all over and haven't seen anything backing this up man. Not saying it's out of the question, but it seems pretty far-fetched that the Hives would ask permission to use another famous band's song template rather than just write one of their own. If Main Offender was the band's only successful single, I could maybe buy it, but there's Hate to Say I Told You So, etc. See if you can get me that link though, don't see why GD would need to rip off a contemporary either.

[ItsRamboJackson]

@CraigMcDerm0tt

I agree, this is a good riff and melody so I don't think Green Day would hold this song for over a decade, that makes no sense. So I don't believe SlapHappyJesus. The people that keep posting that comment are just spamming a lie in my opinion without facts. The Hives to my knowledge and study made this track in 1999 first, and I don't mind hearing the same sound by Green Day, it's a good version anyways. lol

[ItsRamboJackson]

@SlapHappyJesus

That isn't factual at all. lmao

[StBecky13]

@SlapHappyJesus this song it on 21centery breakdown

[SlapHappyJesus]

@StBecky13 No, I'm not saying that. I got in a small debate with someone else over this song. Many people think that they stole the sound from The Hive's "Hate to say I told you so". What I was trying to get across was that Green Day actually wrote the song (hives didn't use the same lyrics) back in the nineties, but never put it to cd. Between then and the release of 21st century breakdown, they allowed the hives to use the song themselves. Greenday then decided to use it for the latest cd.

[TheGrg1]

No words to describe it. JUST AWESOME

[NeMeXISsSbe]
