Green Day - too dumb to die

사랑에 대한 갈망과 사회적 현실에 대한 불만이 얽힌 복잡한 감정을 노래한다
자신의 정체성과 꿈을 찾으려는 여정에서 느끼는 상실감과 두려움이 드러나고, 끝내 포기하지 않으려는 의지를 나타낸다

Oh, oh I love you
Oh, oh I do
I got a sentimental
illness for you
Please don't go away, oh yeah

I was a high school
atom bomb
Going off on the weekends
Smoking dope
and mowing lawns
And I hated all the new trends

Me and my friends sang:
＂Woah! Here's to the
middle of the road!
At least it's better than here＂

Looking for a cause
But all I got was Santa Claus
I'm hanging on a dream
that's too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere
over the rainbow
Way up high
too scared to dream
But too dumb to die

My daddy always was on strike
Going off with the teamsters
He said that
＂Everything will be alright...
Not every Sunday
can be Easter＂

The picket line screamed:
＂Woah! Don't cross
Don't cross the line
because you'll be a scab
not a martyr!＂

Looking for a cause
But all I got was camouflage
I'm hanging on a dream
that's too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere
over the rainbow
Way up high
Too scared to dream
But too dumb to...
uhm... yeah..
Hey!

Looking for a cause
But all I got was camouflage
I'm hanging on a dream
that's too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere
over the rainbow
Way up high
too scared to dream
But too dumb to die
