American Eulogy Lyrics - 21st Century Breakdown - Green Day

Hysteria, mass hysteria! 

Mass hysteria! 

Mass hysteria! 

Red alert is the colour of panic 

Elevated to the point of static 

Beating into the hearts of the fanatics 

And the neighborhood's a loaded gun 

Idle thought lead to full-throttle screaming 

And the welfare is asphyxiating 

Mass confusion is all the new age and it's creating a feeding ground for the bottom feeders of hysteria 

Hysteria, mass hysteria! 

Mass hysteria! 

Mass hysteria! 

Mass hysteria!

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

True sounds of maniacal laughter 

And the deafmute is misleading the choir 

The punchline is a natural disaster 

And it's sung by the unemployed 

Fight fire with a riot 

The class war is hanging on a wire because the martyr is a compulsive liar 

When he said "it's just a bunch of niggers throwing gas into the ..." 

Hysteria, mass hysteria! 

Mass hysteria! 

Mass hysteria! 

Mass hysteria! 

There's a disturbance on the oceanside 

They tapped into the reserve 

The static response is so unclear now 

Mayday this is not a test! 

As the neighborhood burns, America is falling 

Vigilantes warning ya, 

calling christian and gloria 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I'm the class of '13 

In the era of dissent 

A hostage of the soul 

On a strike to pay the rent 

The last of the rebels 

Without a common ground 

I'm gonna light a fire into the underground 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I am a nation without bureaucratic ties 

Deny the allegation as it's written (fucking lies!) 

I want to take a ride to the great divide 

Beyond the "up to date" and the neo-gentrified 

The high definition for the low resident 

Where the value of your mind is not held in contempt 

I can hear the sound of a beating heart 

That bleeds beyond a system that's falling apart 

With money to burn on a minimum wage 

I don't give a shit about the modern age 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! 

I don't wanna live in the modern world! (Mass hysteria!)
