Billie Joe wrote this song when he was having panic attacks. At the time he didn't know what they were and he thought he was going insane.

Awesome song, good live too. Pop Disaster Tour OWNED!

dude… he wrote this she he was high on meth… and then when he came down he hated the song… but the more he played it… the more it became an anthem…
