4. Green Day is great - they have big balls
I love how their lyrics take the war monger on directly - very nice indeed!

7. Could it be Holiday? "Zieg Heil to the president gasman"
Holiday"

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 protestor 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!)

"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, 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

12. Is the song actually an antiwar song?
It's a great song, but it sounds like a pretty normal ballad.

The VIDEO is quite antiwar, or at least very war-conscious.

14. It doesn't take a side either way...not from my point of view
i found out about this video while watching the news on ABC...they reported it as anti-war...i was expecting something like what we saw during the 1970's war protest songs. i do give them credit for putting the issue out there.
