Song Of The Century lyrics

Sing us a song of the century
That's louder than bombs and eternity
The era of static and contraband
Leading us into the Promised Land
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/green_day/song_of_the_century.html ]
Tell us a story that's by candlelight
Waging a war and losing the fight

They're playing the song of the century
Panic and promise and prosperity
Tell me a story into that good night
Sing us a song for me
