Green Day-Maria (lyrics)

A great Green Day song. I made this video for my best friend Maria, who's favorite color is green and one of her favorite bands is Green Day!

Lyrics:
She smashed the radio with the board of education
Turn up the static left of the state of the nation

Turn up the flame, step on the gas
Burning the flag at half mast
She's a rebel's forgotten son
An export of the revolution

She is the first voice of the last ones in the line
She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive

Bring in the head of the government
The dog ate the document
Somebody shot the President
And no one knows where Maria went?

Maria, Maria, Maria,
Where did you go?

Be careful what you're offering
Your breath lacks the conviction
Drawing the line in the dirt
Because the last decision
....is no.

Is this the original version? The one that was the b-side on "Waiting"?

[everlybearkiedis]

@coola567 I have no idea, all I know is that I was checking a list of songs by GD and it turned out there was one which contained my bff's name in it's title so I had to make a video in her honor, that's all

[zxANDiixz]

Used to ABSOLUTLY love this band but since american idiot well they have turned shite. i have tryed to mentally block the later parts of their career and focus on the good an old

[everlybearkiedis]

actually i started listening to GD since my dad bought me American Idiot about 5 years ago, and the first time i checked out their old songs was 1 year ago, cause i was influenced by my bf's boyfriend, who looks like Billie Joe and is completely obsessed with him...so i don't mind their new shit

[l4dlover92]

@everlybearkiedis ur boyfriends boyfriend? u having a threesome?

[everlybearkiedis]

@l4dlover92 oh sorry my bff's* boyfriend, actually Maria's boyfriend, the girl in the info for the video

[steveigog]

OMFG! my name is maria!!!!1 oh no wait, it's steve. :(

[tinglypalms227]

Hahaha my name is Maria :)

[blackshadowtheship]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr where did my Maria go? She ditched me cuz she decided she had better friends.

[DestroX71689]

its the same version as international superhits only on there it was remastered and had some retarded intro of a woman interviewing billy joe

[energee41]

@GreenDayRuIes Well yeah, I guess I meant more in a lyrical-only sense.

Lyrically, Gloria makes perfect sense for this song.

[GreenDayRuIes]

@energee41 Well that'd sound pretty weird...

Try singing the parts when he says Maria with Gloria, sounds pretty weird doesn't it?

[energee41]

This song could make sense for 21st CB if 'Maria' was replaced by 'Gloria'.

Just a thought. :D

[lawlietsshadow]

@zxANDiixz personally 21st century breakdown is my fav album, but ive been listening to greenday forever, i just think their newest songs are their best work, no work of green day is "shite" if u say tht u shouldn't even be a fan.. ur just an "american idiot"

[geography00]

I am very proud to be one of those miserable persons being called Maria. :D

[scmswolves]

@coola567 That is undoubtedly correct, sir!

[MrGreenDayLive]

@coola567 yes it is

[LynnX9]

green day is awesome!
