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!)
(Say, hey!)
(3,4)
"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, 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

Review about Holiday I used to like them. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/18/09
I love Green Day's earlier stuff, but since "American Idiot" came out all they do is bitch and moan about how bad America is. If its so bad, get the fuck out. Go live in some dictatorship that you seem to support and sing your political shit...you'll lose your head. its the troops these idiots sing against that give them the freedom to be sell out, washed up, anti-American jerks. This garbage only appeals to you little 14 year old emo fags who think they need to protest something anyways.
Amazing | Reviewer: Alexx | 11/18/09
wwoow. I absolutely love this song and its strong meaning and lyrics. I totally agree with this song and its anti-war lyrics. Green Day have done this song very well by the lyrics they are using ("Seig Heil to the President gas man, bombs away is your punishment"). I they're a really really clever band.
And the way they put the lyrics and music together just really captures the mood of the song, the message that is being sent out and the view Green Day have on the war.
Gotta love it.
Green Day's just plain awesome. I'm 17 and I absolutely love all their songs, they truely have a great, deep meaning about the problems average americans face. They're a revolutionary band, I play their songs all the time on my school's morning announcement show haha and I have a ton of their songs on my ipod. They're just fuckin awesome!!
I LIKE GREEN DAY | Reviewer: Barkın Kaplan | 11/2/09
I'm 14 and don't know all of the English and Green Day so I'm sorry about it but i want to explain my thoughts. Green Day tells the truths of the country and the world. People, who don't want the intellectuals, that want the world to be a equal and better place, dont like Green Day. I'm not an American boy but it looks like this from Turkey. Green Day is the best day of our lives.It is happiness. You should choose that day to love, to forget everything but you cant find that part of time on this WORLD!
oh... | Reviewer: vampire | 9/10/09
Whoa O_O
It's still really cool. I've loved Green Day ever since...um...I can't rember(Once again O_O). BUT, that's not the point, great song...a little inappropriate for a 10-year-old...but OK, as I said, great song.
yay! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/31/09
When I was fourteen, and started loving the album Dookie, the cool kids said I was uncool. Thanks for getting better with time Green Day, like me! Oh yeah, I was uncool before uncool was cool. And I'm like, old now and stuff - 30, hah! Green Day were sellouts and whatever - what the f(*& does that even mean? They didn't wash up and die away or lose themselves in a sick drug habit? Good on ya for maturing, GD.
"Just for a laugh, look at how many times the comments on this page use the word your instead you're. It'quite amusing. Also, only like three people use any sort of punctuation. I guess that shows the average intelligence of Green Day fans."
It'quite "isn't" a word. It's great that people are presenting their opinions about the lyrics of the song, which i happen to like- but when they constantly bicker and fight about it, it gets on my nerves. Drop it. If you don't like the song, then express what you don't like about it. Don't go into an all out rant about how they suck, and about how their fans suck, same case; vice versa.
To be 'politically correct', you should all just shut your mouths, because arguing about a song that people have different opinions to, gets you nowhere. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And this song expresses just that.
the heart and soul of north Americans wrote: "but Canadians and Americans are dying out there for our freedom"
First of all, attacking another country is TAKING AWAY freedom and not fighting for it. The war is about taking away freedom from the Iraqis so to cripple them and thus make the hundred-times bigger and stronger US safer from them.
Second of all, Europe has tested WW II on it's own land and it's peaceful inhabitants have felt the hell roll through there homeland. We know what it is to have your own country raped by another because of their sheer will to conquer and believe me, the most of Europeans don't like the idea of war against smaller and weaker Iraq.
Third of all, most Canadians have reason enough to see that this war is a waste of time, money and far most: human lives. Don't put them in one bracket with people brainless enough to let themselves be steered to every shit-hole for interests of a single little group of people, I'm sure they wouldn't like that.
You have an understanding of things adequate to your age. Green Day is a very good band.
Shut up you f***ers! | Reviewer: your worst nightmare... | 6/17/09
If you don't like the song, stop complaining about it. No one wants to hear you! Get the picture? None of you should be criticizing this band, this song, or their fans. How do you like it when someone calls you stupid just beacause you like a certain song?
And if you can't appreciate a good Green Day song, then you don't know what good music is.
Oh yeah, and this is a great song.
Gutsy Punk band | Reviewer: Greenday FANS | 5/22/09
Greenday are by far "the most" politically assertive band, who have the guts to weave their lyrics with the harsh realities of policy politics of the US. This song is one such example.XCELENT SONG!! KEEP IT UP!! WE'RE WITH U!!
