Letra de American Eulogy

[Intro: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Sing us the song of the century
It sings like American eulogy
The dawn of my love and conspiracy
Of forgotten hope and the class of 13
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for me

Part I: Mass Hysteria

[Chorus: Armstrong]
Hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria

[Verse 1: Armstrong]
Red alert is the color of panic
Elevated to the point of static
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics
And the neighborhood's a loaded gun

Idle thought leads to full-throttle screaming
And the welfare's asphyxiating
Mass confusion is all the new rage
And it's creating a feeding ground
For the bottom feeders of hysteria

[Chorus: Armstrong]
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria

[Verse 2: Armstrong]
True sounds of maniacal laughter
And the deaf-mute's misleading the choir
The punch-line 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"

[Chorus: Armstrong]
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria

[Outro: Armstrong]
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 you
Calling Christian and Gloria!

Part II: Modern World

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world

[Verse 1: Dirnt]
Well, 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, well

[Chorus: Armstrong & Dirnt]
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world

[Bridge: Armstrong]
I am a nation without bureaucratic ties
Deny the allegation, as it's written fucking lies

[Verse 2: Dirnt]
Well, 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 is falling apart
With money to burn on a minimum wage
Well, I don't give a shit about the modern age

[Chorus: Armstrong & Dirnt]
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world
I don't want to live in the modern world

[Outro: (Armstrong) & Dirnt]
(Mass hysteria) I don't want to live in the modern world
(Mass hysteria) I don't want to live in the modern world
(Mass hysteria) I don't want to live in the modern world
(Mass hysteria) I don't want to live in the modern world

(Mass hysteria) I don't want to live in the modern world
(Mass hysteria) I don't want to live in the modern world
(Mass hysteria) I don't want to live in the modern world
(Mass hysteria) I don't want to live in the modern world

(Mass hysteria) I don't want to live in the modern world
(Mass hysteria) I don't want to live in the modern world
