Before the Lobotomy

Dreaming I was only dreaming Of another place and time Where my family's from. Singing I can hear them singing. When the rain had washed away All these scattered dreams Dying Everyone's reminding Hearts are washed in misery Drenched in gasoline Laughter There is no more laughter Songs of yesterday Now live in the underground Life before the lobotomy Christian sang the eulogy Sign my love a lost memory From the end of the century Well, it's enough to make you sick To cast a stone and throw a brick When the sky is falling down It burned your dreams into the ground Christian's lesson is what he's been sold We are normal and self-controlled Remember to learn to forget Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes Well I'm not stoned I'm just fucked up I got so high I can't stand up I'm not cursed 'cause I've been blessed I'm not in love 'cause I'm a mess Like refugees We're lost like refugees Like refugees We're lost like refugees The brutality of reality Is the freedom that keeps me from Dreaming I was only dreaming Of another place and time Where my family's from. Singing I can hear them singing. When the rain had washed away All these scattered dreams Dying Everyone's reminding Hearts are washed in misery Drenched in gasoline Laughter There is no more laughter Songs of yesterday Now live in the underground --- Before the Lobotomy - Green Day
