The Forgotten Lyrics

Lyric discussion by SaintTodd 

Cover art for The Forgotten  lyrics by Green Day

I see this as a gen X attempt to impart wisdom to millennials. It's full of irony, but general idea is: don't be so concerned with recording every event of your life on Facebook, and bouncing your feelings off the social media soundboard, and instead be yourself and make real connections with people. The Forgotten, I think, is a sarcastic name he gives to people who don't have a presence on social media, and are "resigned" to living in the memories and hearts of those who care about them.
