[Green Day - Favorite Son lyrics]

He hit the ground running
At the speed of light
His star is brightly shining
Like a neon light

It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son

A fixture on the talk shows
To the silver screen from here to Colorado
He's a sex machine!

He's your favorite son
He's your favorite son

But isn't it a drag? Isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
It's pretty, but it's sad
But isn't it a drag?

A clean-cut all-American
Really ain't so clean his royal auditorium
Is a murder scene!

It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son

But isn't it a drag? Isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
It's pretty, but it's sad
But isn't it a drag?


Well, no one says it's fair
Turning teenage lust to a millionaire

Now where's your fucking champion?
On a panty raid he's not the all-American
That you thought you paid

He's your favorite son
He's your favorite son

But isn't it a drag?
