Green Day - favorite son

가사는 고속으로 성공한 스타의 화려한 façade와 그 이면에 있는 슬픔을 밝힌다
주인공은 겉보기엔 미국의 상징이지만, 본질은 비극적이고 복잡한 삶을 살고 있다
결국, 진정한 영웅상에 대한 퀘스천을 던지며 사회의 아이러니를 드러낸다

He hit the ground running,
At the speed of light.
The star was brightly shining,
Like a neon light.

It's your favorite son.
It's your favorite son.

A fixture on the talkshows,
To the silver screen.
From here to Colorado,
He's a sex machine.

It's your favorite son.
It's your favorite son.

But isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
its pretty bloody sad,
but isn't it a drag?

A clean-cut All-American,
Really ain't so clean.
His royal auditorium,
Is a murder scene.

It's your favorite son.
It's your favorite son.
Oh, isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
It's pretty but it's sad,
but isn't it a drag?

[Bridge]

Well no one says it's fair.
Turn a teenage lush,
To a millionaire.

Now where's your ####### champion?
On a 'panty raid'
He's not the All-American,
That you thought you paid.

It's your favorite son.
It's your favorite son.
But isn't it a drag?
