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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/green_day/holiday.html ]
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
(Hey! )
(3, 4)
"The representative from California has the floor"
Zieg 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) just cause (hey), (hey) 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 song has two meanings that i know of. The first, that everyone knows, is basically green day's rant/song about how the government is currently a load of crap. The meaning that mostly only die-hard fans know is that this song is part three of the american idiot story. This song tells about how, after the jesus of suburbia leaves to live on his own, he feels completely free and parties it up, getting high and drunk, going crazy. But he can't do this forever, which is why boulevard of broken dreams is the next piece to the story.
The story begins with american idiot, jesus of suburbia, holiday, boulevard of broken dreams, are we the waiting, saint jimmy, and so on
Omg this is an awesome song, you have to listen to it a million times!!!

This song was not written by shaun ryder, paul ryder and the other happy mondays as states at the top of the page under songwriters. Billie joe armstrong wrote it. Please get it right.

It's sieg heil to the resident gasman... But still some songs in the world are just misheard and i know for a fact that its resident gasman.
Why does the name of the tab in my browser say "holiday lyrics - green day", while it says the song is called "american idiot"? Both of them are wrong.
Oops, forgot something! When the verse beginning "zieg heil to the president gasman" starts, st. Jimmy is introduced. Before, i had explained him as johnny's friend, but in the play he is really just johnny's alter ego, the dangerous part of his mind that becomes the villain of the play later on.
My account under hazeldountlovesbullet was deleted... But i'm back, explaining the plot behing the american idiot musical, which is a bit different from the album, as it has a few additional songs, and new characters. Holiday comes after johnny and tunny leave for the city, thinking everything will be better once they are on their own. They're having fun, having a rush, and thoroughly excited. But that ends pretty soon in boulevard of broken dreams.
When i was in high school,and there is a holiday coming... We often sang this song out loud... It was great!!! Maybe some of the teachers are sooouuu pissed offf... Hah... This song are awesome!!!
