Misery
Green Day
Warning (2000)

Virginia was a "lot lizard" from F.L.A.
She had a compound fracture in the "trunk."
It started when she ran away,
Thumbs out on the interstate,
She hitched a ride to misery.

"Mr. Whirly" had a catastrophic incident.
He fell into the city by the bay.
He liquidated his estate,
Now he sleeps upon the Haight,
Panhandling misery.

He's gonna get high,
When he's low.
The fire burns from better days,
And she screamed why oh why?
I said I don't know.
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday,
Of misery.

Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam.
He ran the drug cartel in "tinseltown."
They found him in a cadillac,
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat,
In the name of misery.

Gina hit the road to New York City.
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked.
She stopped in Vegas to elope,
With Virgina and the dope,
And kissed the bride eternally.

And they're gonna get high,
When they're low.
The fire burns from better days,
And she screamed why oh why?
I said I don't know.
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday,
Of misery.

Well hell hounds on your trail now once again.. boy.
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps.
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow,
Because it's not what you make, it's what you leave.

And they're gonna get high,
When they're low.
The fire burns from better days,
And she screamed why oh why?
I said I don't know.
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday,
Of misery.
