[Green Day - Before the Lobotomy lyrics]

Dreamin', I was only dreamin'
Of another place and time
Where my family's from
Singin', I can hear them singin'
When the rain had washed away
All these scattered dreams
Dyin', everyone's reminded
Hearts are washed in misery
Drenched in gasoline
Laughter, there is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday now live
In the underground

Ooh, ooh ooh

Life before the lobotomy
Christian sang the eulogy
Signed, "My love" a lost memory
From the end of the century

Well, it's enough to make you sick
To cast a stone and throw a brick
But when the sky is falling down
You burned your dreams into the ground

Christian's lesson's what he's been sold
(Hey)
We are normal and self-controlled (Hey)
Remember to learn to forget (Hey)
Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes

Well, I'm not stoned, I'm just fucked up
I got so high I can't stand up
Well, I'm not cursed 'cause
I've been blessed
I'm not in love, 'cause I'm a mess

Like refugees (Too late)
We're lost like refugees (Too late)
Like refugees (Too late)
We're lost like refugees (Too late)
The brutality of reality
Is the freedom that keeps me from

Dreamin', I was only dreamin'
Of another place and time
Where my family's from
Singin', I can hear them singin'
When the rain had washed away
All these scattered dreams
Dyin', everyone's reminded
Hearts are washed in misery
Drenched in gasoline
Laughter, there is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday now live
In the underground
