Holiday / Boulevard of Broken Dreams Songtext

von Green Day

Say, "Hey!"

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find the money′s on the other side
Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

(Hey!)

Three, four

"The representative from California has the floor"
Sieg Heil to the president Gasman, bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers, who criticize your government
Bang-bang goes the broken glass
And kill all the fags that don′t agree
Trials by fire, setting fire is not a way that's meant for me
Just 'cause (Hey, hey, hey)
Just ′cause, because we′re outlaws, yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it′s home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-

My shadow′s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that′s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What′s fucked up and everything′s alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-

My shadow′s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that′s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

I walk alone, I walk a-

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I′m the only one and I walk a-

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that′s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
′Til then I walk alone
