Green Day - 80 Lyrics






My mental stability reaches its bitter end
And all my senses are coming unglued
Is there any cure for this disease someone called love
Not as long as there are girls like you

Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I wanna hurt myself

If anyone can hear me slap some sense into me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I lose my head or I bang it up against the wall

Sometimes I wonder if I should be left alone
And lock myself up in a padded room
I'd sit and spew my guts out to the open air
No one wants to hear a drunken fool

Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just can't trust myself

If anyone can hear me slap some sense into me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I lose my head or I bang it up against the wall

I do not mind if this goes on
Cause now it seems I'm too far gone
I must admit that I enjoy myself
80 please keep taking me away

Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just can't trust myself

If anyone can hear me slap some sense into me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I lose my head or I bang it up against the wall

  1. C.... V....

    Im glade to listen to some of the best music by my favorite band and dont have to here music that says the N word in every damn song and im white go figure

  2. J.... M....

    This is their best album

  3. C.... ....

    Break something see how I feel... See how many girls I make and so who copies me to the finish ~a Cher move Clueless) you know if it wasen’t for her I would mind making guys go totally insane of crazy over me Cher from Clueless your a God! Just a smile lucky I could grin

  4. J.... M....

    I sing this to my BF who has this nickname. It’s crazy 10 years later singing this song not knowing that I would find an awesome person to dedicate this song too. 💚💚💚💚💚

  5. N.... S....

    It sounds like a combo of when i come around and F.O.D.

  6. D.... R....

    As long as there's girls like you ~

  7. C.... A....

    i love joe!!!!!

    C.... A....

    Cool Age who’s joe

    C.... A....

    @MX Michael   who is vocal billie joe. he is my american best punk idol.

    C.... A....

    Cool Age Joe mama

  8. d.... g....

    ANXIETY HAS GOT ME STRUNG OUT AND FRUSTRATED

  9. A.... X....

    Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this about his wife Adrienne, who he calls "Adie" (which explains why the song's called "80"). He sings of how being with Adie takes him away from the stress of the world.

  10. T.... �....

    In my personal opinion NIMROD was their last really good album. Revolution radio did surprise me though.

  11. M.... B....

    I forgot how much I love Green Day

  12. M.... ....

    Born in 1985 I was introduced to rock at a young age. I heard dookie in Kmart when I was 8 one of those display TVs with buttons to select different movie trailers and music videos.

  13. D.... C....

    I close my eyes and I find myself in my room in that NY apartment, my clothes smelling like weed, back in 1995....

  14. T.... F....

    Back then 80 was 2 40 ozs of Crazy Horse Ale and 5dlrs of cheeba. But yeah i totally dig

  15. A.... R....

    Aria? 80?

  16. C.... ....

    Perhaps the best indie punk album ever released!

  17. S.... ....

    80, please keep takin' me away...

  18. S.... G....

    Underrated song

  19. S.... ....

    This song is really relatable,
    is that bad?

  20. P.... S....

    Favorite Green Day song, addicted to the bass... LOVE IT, LOVE YOU GREEN DAY! 💖

  21. B.... T....

    the bassline 😍😍😍

  22. C.... ....

    I love the chorus of this song as well as the harmonies in this song...just something about it...

  23. A.... Y....

    The bass in this song OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. a.... ....

    This was the first green day album a friend gave me. It had just come out and he was the only person I knew that even heard of them. Then got 1039/slappy hours and loved it. When they played at the old Soma downtown, I'd never seen so many girls at a punk show. I didn't know that many other people liked green day. Then it happened, literally overnight. Dookie was a great album, but when Longview was played on MTV, you just knew this secret that very few knew about wasn't going to be a secret much longer. I hate that they got so popular, but totally understand it and don't blame them or anyone who liked them after Dookie came out.

  25. R.... S....

    Underrated hit... One of my favorites...

  26. i.... ....

    I think we all know someone who we think of when we listen to this song...

  27. T.... S....

    i still enjoy the new songs, but how can anyone prefer them over dookie and kerplunk

  28. G.... T....

    that chorus is so tastyyy

  29. Y.... M....

    "I must admit that I... enjoy myself"

  30. S.... S....

    Ahhhh the past...

  31. R.... ....

    Greatest Green Day song ? Definitely.

  32. j.... c....

    anyone still listening to this in 2018?

  33. S.... ....

    Greenday remembers me a lot of my childhood times, that's so nostalgic and this music makes me feel like I'm traveling in the time, also like basket case and American idiot

  34. t.... p....

    If anyone can hear me slap some sense in me!!!

  35. T.... O....

    I love voice of billie :)

  36. B.... ....

    Ah.. pre SUCK Green Day before they became faux punk U2

  37. g.... ....

    I just downloaded this song from kazaa. Great stuff.

  38. 3.... b....

    great song

  39. E.... G....

    I Fucking love this haha

  40. I.... S....

    No one wants to hear a drunken fool

  41. A.... p....

    This song remembers me someone... <3 I Love this music

  42. J.... A....

    its like 16 in dookie

  43. J.... A....

    ive been listening to green day since 86 xD

    J.... A....

    what no you haven't they started in 1990

    J.... A....

    PewPewPickle they formed in 86-87

  44. S.... K....

    I like in some of the live versions how he changes 'if anyone can hear me slap some sense it me' to 'if adrienne can hear me slap some sense in me'.

  45. A.... ....

    Soooo.....







    80 or 86?

    A.... ....

    Cknunu 80

    A.... ....

    Anomalifnic can't choose

  46. G.... ....

    80= Ady= Adrienne ❤

  47. L.... ....

    This is the best love song

  48. M.... G....

    my next girlfriend's name would be andie! I promise 😅

  49. V.... V....

    🤘🤘🤙🤙🤙

  50. V.... ....

    awesome but you just turn your head

  51. S.... B....

    mike early bass line is much more catchy and fun

  52. R.... ....

    One of my all time favourite Green Day songs.

  53. I.... S....

    Winter break, and this is my jam!

  54. t.... r....

    this bass line is almost better than longview

    t.... r....

    Theepicr RotMG or welcome to paradise

    t.... r....

    In my opinion 80 bassline is better

    t.... r....

    BerpyDerpy hitching a ride should also be up there and stray heart

    t.... r....

    the power nah

  55. S.... ....

    I can't wait to cover this with my band :)

    S.... ....

    Jack is an uncommon fish i don't have a badn but im thinking about making one

    S.... ....

    I hope you've done it

    S.... ....

    Splorgus what's your band called

  56. M.... D....

    Without doubt my favourite song by Green Day. Absolutely phenomenal!

  57. l.... ....

    so underrated, one of my favorites :)

    l.... ....

    That would suck...

    l.... ....

    brandon holy god i hope they never do that, it would butcher the rawness of this album which is what makes early 90s green day so great

    l.... ....

    how would it effect this album at all? a lot of the songs on nimrod were songs that were written for kerplunk but didn't make the final cut... welcome to paradise was on dookie, etc... just sayin'

    l.... ....

    KERPLUNK is underrated. It's such a great album!

    l.... ....

    *Did you end up talking to yourself*

  58. M.... B....

    This is one of my favourite songs :) I love this.

  59. S.... b....

    My sons name is Adrian. Aka... 80. When this song came out who'd have thought that'd be it lol

    S.... b....

    lmao u know what? Billie made this for his wife and here nickname was 80 too!

  60. t.... ....

    DAT BASSLINE THO

  61. D.... R....

    I've listened to this song for the very first on the radio.

  62. S.... P....

    The descendents, green day, screeching weasel. They knew how to write about love back in those days :D

  63. N.... 1....

    I listened to this song 80 times today.

    Ayyyy.

    This pun is questioning my mental health.
    I'm ready to sing a panic song.

    N.... 1....

    Your jokes are like paper lanterns thin and they light up

    N.... 1....

    NHL 17 If you need help come see me at the corner of Stuart and the Avenue

    N.... 1....

    NHL 17 this song is a literally a pun because 80 is referring to Adie his girlfriend at the time and now wife

    N.... 1....

    What's with all these puns? You all are a walking contradiction

    N.... 1....

    There’s no return from 86(likes)

  64. k.... 1....

    such a sweet song. aww.. awesome!

  65. I.... ....

    I have 39/smooth, kerplunk,dookie,and insomniac all on vinyl record.

    I.... ....

    now adays cd's are just as wierd to get as vynl's were to get when cd's where a thing

    I.... ....

    I gave Green day a ride to a show in my van back in 91. Beat that!

    I.... ....

    Im wearing tights that I borrowed from your mum. I doubt that due to your username 😂😂😂😂

    I.... ....

    I have your mom's nudes on my hard drive

  66. J.... W....

    This song is so cool , i dedicate, this my wife man , i love you green day

  67. c.... ....

    "Anxiety has got me
    Strung out and frustrated" this .
    this .
    oh my god this guy will kill me thank god green day is here :/

    c.... ....

    i feel the same. it's complicated.

  68. N.... C....

    I named my daughter Aidie, I love that I can sing this and say her name!

    N.... C....

    i named my kid platypus i hate you for the same reason

    N.... C....

    ja crispy when a reply has more likes then the comment it has to be good 😂

    N.... C....

    Nerolie Callaghan
    I named my kid 21st century breakdown. For some reason i think that this wasn't a good decision

    N.... C....

    I named my kid nimrod.

  69. C.... B....

    I took a quiz to see what greenday song I am and this is the one I got

  70. r.... s....

    o tempo q infelizmente num volta mais

    r.... s....

    +rebecca sulamita
    Pois é

    r.... s....

    amava muito 

    r.... s....

    @rebecca sulamita Eu escutava essa música anos atrazl. Ela me dá muita saudade :/ A vida era muito simples naquela época

    r.... s....

    demais não é eu tbm tenho saudades e lembranças boas quando a escuto é a melhor 

  71. J.... D....

    massa di...mais!!!!

    J.... D....

    +Jeffesson Diniz
    é, né?

  72. B.... ....

    for me, Kerplunk is the best album created by Green Day

    B.... ....

    Truly is.

    B.... ....

    Kerplunk is the sound a Dookie makes before going into the magic Disappearing Poo Poo Device...

    B.... ....

    Nah, it's Dookie

    B.... ....

    Sidharth Soman

    Kerplunk>Insomniac>Dookie>1039>Nimrod

    B.... ....

    Kerplunk or Dookie.
    Kerplunk has some of the best tracks but Dookie is more consistent.
    So hard to decide.

  73. G.... M....

    acheiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii  muleke  to  loko  da  vida  ñ  acredito  q  achei  meu  deus  essa  é  loka  80

    G.... M....

    +Gabriel Mattos
    Você estava procurando essa música por bastante tempo?

  74. A.... L....

    I wanna meet someone who'll listen to this and think of me...

    A.... L....

    @Ana Lazovic Niste saaaaami slusam ih od svoje 6te godine!! ove stare pjesme su najjace :)

    A.... L....

    Jel da....life goals

    A.... L....

    Znam da je ovo komentar od prije 4 god al bilo mi je drago vidjet nekog s balkana u green day komentarima :)

  75. N.... N....

    Why are these songs so fucking relate-able like holy shit.

    N.... N....

    He didn't meet Adrienne till he was late 18 because he said she was 21 when he met her and they're 3 years apart. He wasn't 16 when he wrote these. 80 was written when he was 19, going on 20. 2000LYA was written when he was 19.

    N.... N....

    I dont even know why any of that matters.

    N.... N....

    I dont know why everyone debates how old he was when he wrote the songs. I dont get that.

    N.... N....

    Nobody was debating, everyone was just sharing

    N.... N....

    its because green day has a whole fuck ton of angsty teenage stuff that most people can relate to.

  76. J.... P....

    one more song they should play every show

  77. M.... P....

    This just makes me sorry.

    M.... P....

    @Melissa Paju Good job getting back to me. Your detailed response to my inquiry was just what I was looking for.

    M.... P....

    @Cynicalguy89​ personal reasons...

  78. G.... W....

    Song makes me feel old now :P and reminds me of horrible girls in my past, still a good song xD

    G.... W....

    What made the horrible girls so horrible? If you dont mind me asking

  79. K.... ....

    Guys this song is about his girlfriend at the time and his now-wife Adie. Check the lyric "80 please keep taking me away". "Eighty" is a pun on "Adie".
    Kickass song I love the way mike goes "so I lose my head"

    K.... ....

    wrong, 80 was a brand of beer

    K.... ....

    Gustavo Siemsen no, he's right. This songs name "80" is a play on his then girlfriend now wife Addie. You're correct about it being a beer brand even though this isn't what the song is about. Oh

    K.... ....

    nah its about his wife. listen to some live versions sometimes instead of 'if anyone can hear me slap some sense in me' he will say 'if ADRIENNE can hear me slap some sense in me'. 80 is adie, adie is adrienne, his wife.

    K.... ....

    So you listened to this song 4hrs?

    K.... ....

    It's true they met in the great City where she is from, Minneapolis. I've ran into them Electric Fetus,Cheapo, Pizza Luce and other stores around Uptown and Downtown MLPS. Really awesome and down to earth people.

  80. J.... B....

    #fuckcancer

    J.... B....

    Zumbi Dos Palmares brother?

    J.... B....

    Yes! My brother!

  81. C.... H....

    Please keep taking me away

  82. N.... ....

    My god, I LOVE this song! Why am I only listening to this with a 15-20 year delay? I should have listened to Green Day from the very first day... shit!

    N.... ....

    Awh my thoughts exactly! I've known about Green Day most of my life koz they were always my cousins' favourite band but I only started listening to them about 4 years ago, I feel like I missed out so much, all the Green Day shows I coulda gone to.. I particularly regret not going to Bullet in a Bible.

    N.... ....

    @Naomi Bell
    Well I'm glad I'm not the only one, although it doesn't really help at going back in time. I've only known Basket Case and their other most successful songs, but I just never knew they were THIS good all along.

    N.... ....

    @Naomi Bell
    hey you at least got to find a bad ass band through your cousin! doesnt matter when you started liking them, its that you like them NOW and you are listening to Kerplunk and 1039 Smoothed out Slappy Hours right? sincerely a 28 year old who found a cassette in my step dads collection called "Dookie"...that was when I was 8

    N.... ....

    Haha I know, and I'm very grateful for it. He's also introduced me to a couple of other bands that I still love. Of course! I listen to the whole collection. Aww :) I would have loved to have known them when I was that young.

  83. G.... F....

    This album reminds me of good times growing up, always have a place in my heart for these songs

  84. m.... ....

    I always wondered what 80 ment. ....the lyrics to this mirror what I have been going through with a certain girl in my life and I totally. Fucked every thing up I'm a low life

    m.... ....

    It's about Billie Joe's wife Adrienne. She's commonly referred to as '80' by hardcore Green Day fans haha. Hope things work up for you <3

    m.... ....

    Billie and Green Day fans often call Adrienne 80 because 80 sounds a lot like 'Addie'.

    m.... ....

    +mattyp3400
    Friggin low life. Just as long as you're not a Bernie Sanders fan I can tolerate you.

    m.... ....

    +Zumbi Dos Palmares you know that Billie Joe actually likes Bernie and hates Donald Trump, right?

    m.... ....

    @Renato Silva Mano, não me importa o que Billie Joe pensa. As ideias políticas dele são absurdas.

  85. R.... ....

    Is there any cure for this disease someone called love? Not as long as there are boys like you ♥ aagdhgaf estúpida y sensual canción, me hace extrañar más a mi novio aún cuando apenas hace un rato se fue de mi casa xD

  86. G.... ....

    Like Green Day's Kerplunk!? Check out my review on it!! I'll promise you'll like it!

  87. b.... ....

    It's just a pick scrape... sounds like he's sliding up the open strings with his fretting hand and scraping down from the bridge toward the nut with his pick.

  88. S.... ....

    who the fuck cares about the comments? I can enjoy the song anyway. you don't like them, don't read them.

  89. S.... ....

    Seriously? Stop. It's annoying to see a bunch of arguments in the comments when you're trying to enjoy a good song. And the topic of the argument is so unnatural. Arguing about which English is better? It shouldn't matter which English is better.

  90. A.... T....

    HOW'S CALL THE 2:35 EFFECT?

  91. E.... L....

    This is one of the sweetest love songs.

  92. S.... ....

    Stop getting all butthurt and just enjoy the music.
    "Show my superiority"... so you're admitting UK English is superiour

  93. A.... L....

    Stop trying to show your superiority and just fucking enjoy the music.

    A.... L....

    You know haha

  94. S.... ....

    I wasn't talking about grammar, you idiot.

  95. A.... F....

    this is my favorite youtube comment

  96. S.... ....

    I'm not expecting an ignorant american to know, but English doesn't originate from the US, therefore, there are other countries speaking it.
    In proper English, it's eighTy.

  97. Z.... P....

    this song is definitely one of the best songs on this world

  98. M.... B....

    Fuck you..

  99. B.... ....

    Thank you captain obvious
