"Deadbeat Holiday" as written by and Billie Joe/wright Iii Armstrong....
Wake up, The house is on fire
And the cat's caught in the dryer
Philosophy's a liar when your home is your headstone
"Icon" is the last chance for hope
When there's no such thing as heroes
Your faith lies in the ditch that you dug yourself in
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down
Deadbeat holiday celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat holiday get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Christmas lights in the middle of August
Grudges come back to haunt us
Your oldest allies are your long lost enemies
Grounded in a duplex to find that you're living on a landmine
Vacation hot spots is a cemetery drive
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down
Deadbeat holiday celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat holiday get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay when all you want to do is not give up
Deadbeat holiday celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat holiday get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Deadbeat holiday celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat holiday get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
And the cat's caught in the dryer
Philosophy's a liar when your home is your headstone
"Icon" is the last chance for hope
When there's no such thing as heroes
Your faith lies in the ditch that you dug yourself in
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down
Deadbeat holiday celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat holiday get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Christmas lights in the middle of August
Grudges come back to haunt us
Your oldest allies are your long lost enemies
Grounded in a duplex to find that you're living on a landmine
Vacation hot spots is a cemetery drive
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down
Deadbeat holiday celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat holiday get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay when all you want to do is not give up
Deadbeat holiday celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat holiday get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Deadbeat holiday celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat holiday get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone

+1General Comment"Celebrate your own decay" basically means, I think, that it's okay if you're going on the wrong track...it's possible to get back, and don't give up on yourself. It may be considered a very "pop" beat, but the message is more "punk" than punk itself...and i hate using labelsgreendayfan02on July 06, 2002 Link

0General CommentThis song is about, 'the ship is going down' and lets all have a good time on our way down. I mean 'Philosophy’s a liar when Your home is your headstone' says it all it's about releazing that one day we're all going to die and we only get so little time while we're here. I think it's about fuck all the pre madonnas and goodie goodies trying to look good and make everything last and stay the same forever, it's about likeing who you are and make the most of what you can on the ride down.0Brandon1784on September 23, 2002 Link
