Green Day - back in the usa

노래는 미국에서의 어려운 현실과 개인의 감정을 중심으로, 사회적 불안과 환상을 묘사한다
"자유"와 "미국적인 환영"을 외치지만, 그 이면에는 고통과 싸움이 존재한다
결국 이는 개인이 겪는 심리적 갈등을 드러낸다

I woke up to a
bitter storm (bitter year)
And Noah's Ark came
washed up on the shore
The riot gear has lined
the dawn (bitter year)
Like dogs that shit
on your neighbor's lawn

Let freedom ring with
all the crazies on parade
Let them eat poison
and it tastes like lemonade

Back in the USA for a
hometown serenade
With fireworks on display
Tonight, it's a hero's
welcome home
And there's no place to go
And I'm taking it to the grave
Back in the USA

The saddest story
ever told (bitter year)
Is feeling safe
in our suburban homes
Like soldiers of
an endless war (bitter year)
Every church can have a
liquor store

Let freedom ring with
all the crazies on parade
Let them eat poison
and it tastes like lemonade

Back in the USA for a
hometown serenade
With fireworks on display
Tonight, it's a
hero's welcome home
And there's no place to go
And I'm taking it to the grave
Back in the USA
