21st Century Breakdown/Song of the Century Lyrics

[krislegoman]

its a great song

[davheromany]

Maybe its cuz im a totall stoner hipster freak. But i prefer the older green day. Because it talked about how are media controlled our minds and how people should never let us down even thru hardships. Now its mostly about war and the current generation. Dont get me wrong i still love green day. I just think the meaning has went down a bit.

[rasicar]

@davheromany I would say that it has merely just evolved with what they see around them; Billy Joe and the rest grew up and now see the world as cynical, jaded adults, rather than just angsty teenagers.

[GreenDayBoo]

but it's not ''sing up the stars for me'',it's ''sing us a song for me''...

[Osric13th]

These guys have no political statement to make at all. They just want you to know that .....

[BlAcKxJe5uS]

I'll be the first to apologize for the music of the 21st Century. Sorry Green Day/ Blink 182/ Linkin Park/Etc. for our music. Every like is an apology.

[DarthRevan638]

It's actually "Tell us a story that's by Candlelight" Not "There was a story that's by candlelight"

[zackmason2]

Why cant any1 get the lyrics right????

[girfan21]

@MrSimpleTZ idk lol neither of the bands are gay I love them both :P

[CharliesInBlackBrook]

So.... Its the 21st century breakdown??? Interesting tell me more Billie Joe.

[CORNMUFFIN171]

[MrSimpleTZ]

Why do blink fans think Green Day is gay? Why do Green Day fans dislike blink?

If you ask me they're both amazing bands!!! At least better than most of the mainstream pop and hip hop crap. Peace!!

[orant1]

@MrSimpleTZ green day are awesome and blinks singers cannot sing

[TheDevilmayfart]

@MrSimpleTZ I absolutely love both, but I must admit, I'd rather listen to Green Day no matter what!!!

[oytpa]

Why do we even listen to anyone else and comment on these videos I mean come on people why the fuck are you and I wasting our time listening to anyone else and commenting we are here for the music not dumbasses who love the Erk* Justin Bieber? GREEN DAY IS THE BEST AND YOU CAN'T DENY IT UNLESS YOU ARE A TOTAL FOOL!

[Windofscarblade]

The lyrics for "21st Century Breakdown" are right, but the "Song of the Century" Lyrics are mostly wrong. I watched this with the cd booklet in my hands when I noticed the first wrong lyric.

Still well done though.

[AstroMovieStudios]

Justin Beiber - Bad

Bruno Mars - OK

Lady Gaga - Good

Green Day - Awesome as F**K

[mspurplejhes]

@baseballrul3s You dont need to say that, GREEN DAY WILL NOT DIE. :)

[TheBigstan77]

every day i live for and with green day there music inspires me to keep living and listening they rule in my book whoever think the same thumbs up lets show the people out there that green day does matter and is better then all others

[mcombes1996]

Hey guys, (this goes serious) I just heard this whole album in order for the tenth time, and i thought that the story told on it is pretty cool, and noticed that there wasn't a book,pink floyd-the wall style, so i decided i'm going to write one. What do you think? (i'm not joking, i've got almost the whole story on my head). show me some support (not thumbs up, but comments and ideas) and i may post it somewhere on the internet. anticipated thanks.

[henm200000]

u say Rebecca Black, I say Green Day

u say Jonas Brother, I say Green Day

u say Flowers, I say Green Day

92% of teens have turned to pop and hip-hop.If you are part of the 8% that still listens to green day, copy and paste this message to 5 othre green day videos. DON'T LET GREEN DAY DIE

[punkred67]

@baseballrul3s GREEN DAY WON'T FUCKING DIE!

[DarkPalidinStudios]

@baseballrul3s HEY! REBECCA BLACK IS THE BEST SINGER...! in HELL!

[THEMaverickLucky7]

@baseballrul3s I listen to hip-hop, but i mostly listen to rock and punk (including green day). So, what percent of teens do I belong? (I only listen to Underground hip-hop, not gangsta shit)

[osbournka]

@baseballrul3s Hey,Bruno Mars and Lady GaGa are OK.

[arizonabrewerton]

@baseballrul3s who's t-pain? and flowers?

[McFresh54]

@baseballrul3s i only like old hip-hop not that mainstream crap

[xxmmmtastey13xx]

i am in the class of 2013 and my parents were both born in 1969 so i guess this song is dedicated to me:DD

[Mariofanman100]

GREEN DAY VS. BLINK 182

WHO WINS?

THUMBS UP IF GREEN DAY. THUMBS DOWN IF BLINK 182.

----HOPEFULLY WE ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO.

[TheMercedesboss]

@Mariofanman100 they're both amazing bands...i can never choose

[jcbaroin1]

@Mariofanman100 I CAN'T CHOOSE BETWEEN THOSE 2 GREATS BANDS!!!

[hatecia]

@Mariofanman100 blink is not bad but green day is way more better

[BaconsGoodFortheSoul]

@hatecia you have much more gooder grammer.

[hatecia]

@BaconsGoodFortheSoul is that meant sarcastic

[BaconsGoodFortheSoul]

@Mariofanman100 Is that really fair? I mean, I agree, but I like both bands, and this DOES happen to be a Green Day song. If people here didn't like Green Day, why would they search the video?

[qscplmyhb]

@Mariofanman100 I CANT. ITS TOO HARD

[nirvanafan64]

@Mariofanman100 how does that even require an answer i mean everybody knows that green day is alot better than blink182

[UnCuoreCheBatte]

@Mariofanman100 green day green day green day green day green day...no wait wait GREEN DAY!!!! :)

[alessiailjazi]

@Mariofanman100 green day♥♥♥

[left4deadluvr]

[left4deadluvr]

It's not sing UP the song of the century, its sing US a song of the century. AND it's not sing UP the STARS for me its sing US a SONG for me. Learn your lyrics.

KAYTHANKSBYEE.

[SkyrimisComing111111]

Sing up the song of the century, Louder than bombs and eternity. The Era of static and contraband, leading us into the promised land. There was a story that's by candle light, waging a war and losing the fight. keep playing the song of the century, panic and promise prosperity. Tell me a story into that goodnight, sing up the stars for me...

[GARBAZONTOR]

the world just needs to see what is going to happen

[sexyprincess1236]

@SinSmarter lmfao!! Your such a loser I swear hahahahahaha your funny!!! XD lol pathetic little shit........:D

[sexyprincess1236]

Godamit Green Day!!! You get better and better every new song you make I'm still waiting for the next album!!!! I love Green Day (Billie,Tre,Mike) keep rocking the fuck out!!! badass song and good video!!! -333 :D

[watchmesingandstuff]

@sexyprincess1236 I personally like the older stuff better. It's not because that stuff was better, it's just that I think they sounded better in their earlier work (Anything between 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours to Warning)

[ZadleeLlane]

i appreciate the effort, but there are several errors int he lyrics, in Song of the century that is...(and to Devillon90, i think that's why)

[Devilion901]

33 People Ejaculated...and missed the Like Button!

[wandaluverr]

@renz10iver It's only like that because you can pay for your video to be on suggestion boxes - that's why it says featured video.
