Green Day – Are We the Waiting? Lyrics 15 years ago
I think the "i got a kid in newyork, i got a kid in the bay" and "shot his brains out in the bay", refers to the fact that this one side of Jimmy is now dead, not the literal man.

Green Day – American Idiot Lyrics 15 years ago
Yeah... I don't think it's about that at all. I think the only thing you got correct there, was the fact Billie believes, and rightly, that America are in trouble; but for the political reasons, not the race reasons...

Green Day – She's a Rebel Lyrics 15 years ago
I'd never considered this until you pointed out and have to agree with you. I think that this could also be in reference to Whatshername, as she coud have this rebellious side which makes JOS/Jimmy fall in love with her, but, like you suggested, could be emphasises in the real world.

Green Day – Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) Lyrics 15 years ago
I thought this song was about someone close passing (maybe Billie's father??) and him genuinly hoping whoever passed had a good life, thus reminding us that life is precious & dissapears quickly, suggesting that we have to make decisions as if it were our last day; "time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go".

Green Day – East Jesus Nowhere Lyrics 15 years ago
I don't think it's neccersarily Anti-Religion as such. I think it's more mocking the ways in which the churches are run as opossed to the relgion iteself; "Ain't this uniform so flattering?"

"You're the soldiers of the new world"; could this suggest that there is a hope for the church in the modern world?

Could "Put your faith in a miracle
And it's non-denominational
Join the choir we will be singing
In the church of wishful thinking"

...suggest that we will be wishiing for the church to be controlled correctly? Possibly by the 'soldiers of the new world?'

This is just my view on the song though, obviously I could be totally incorrect, or, as a Christian myself, be attempting not to like a song that disrespects my relgiion, I'm not sure. Either way, I love the song! (whether I should do or not)
