Green Day - Reject

This song was inspired by a complaint letter that a mom wrote to Billie Joe Armstrong, and I won't spoil it for you, but I also posted the letter, which can be found at this link here:

And if you want to save the letter or anything, the link to the actual PICTURE of the letter is in the description of the video.

TITLE: Reject
ALBUM: Nimrod
YEAR: 1997
SINGLE? No

- LYRICS -

Who the hell are you to tell me
What I am and what's my master plan?
What makes you think that it includes you
Self-righteous wealth?
Stop flattering yourself

So when the smoke clears, here I am
Your reject All-American
Sucking up your social sect
Making you a nervous wreck
To hell and back and hell again, I've gone

You're not my type
Not my type

What's the difference between you and me?
I do what I want
And you do what you're told
So listen up
Shut the hell up
It's no big deal and I'll see you in Hell

So when the smoke clears, here I am
Your reject All-American
Sucking up your social sect
Making you a nervous wreck
To hell and back and hell again, I've gone

You're not my type
Not my type
Not my type
Not my type

So when the smoke clears, here I am
Your reject All-American
Falling from grace
Right on my face
To hell and back to hell again, I've gone

(inaudible)

[001Nigel]

This is the punkiest thing i've heard since the punk explosion in great britain in 1976, fast, furious and raw, can't say the same for such as blink182 though.

[Bigdog6473]

i was saying to not say that green day's music is "evil". they all have a very strong back story and are very well written.

[SuperBassplayer2]

with all due respect, i respect your music you should respect ours so with that respect kindly Fuck Off.
