Before The Lobotomy Lyrics - Green Day

Artist: Green Day

Album: 21 Century Breakdown (2009)

Dreaming

I am 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 reminded

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 am 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 reminded

Hearts are washed in misery

Drenched in gasoline

Laughter

There is no more laughter

Songs of yesterday

Now live in the underground
