Warning Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Rett 

Cover art for Warning lyrics by Green Day

One of my favorite videos ever. Its like doing a hidden picture game in Highlights magazine when I was a kid.... spotting all the things we are told not to do....

  1. operate heavy machinery after drinking cough syrup
  2. running with scissors (my favorite)
  3. crossing police lines (nice Oakland shout out re: who is more dangerous.. police or me?)
  4. too many plugs in appliances
  5. swimming after eating
  6. running at a swimming pool
  7. using a blender with the top off
  8. drinking expired milk
  9. accepting candy from strangers
  10. watching tv too close to the set
  11. making sexualized comments to co-workers
  12. wearing dark clothes at night
  13. standing next to the microwave
  14. staring at the sun..... and more.... those are the ones that just come to mind.

This song is reminding us that most rules and guidelines we are fed like children, really have very little chance of causing damage (especially if you dont over do it or do it recklessly).... so what the f-. Take some chances, its your life, live it. Its anti-authoritarian and very punk!

Oh Green Day, you are my hero!
