Green Day - Holiday Lyrics






Say, hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

(Hey!)
(Say, hey!)

"The representative from California has the floor"

Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause (hey, hey, hey), just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday

    Français Lyrics :
    Entendre le bruit de la pluie qui tombe
    Descendant comme une flamme d'Armageddon (hey !)
    Une honte
    Ceux qui sont morts sans nom
    Entendre les chiens hurler hors de la clé
    A un hymne appelé la foi et la misère (hey !)
    Et saignez, la compagnie a perdu la guerre aujourd'hui
    Je supplie de rêver et de différer des mensonges creux
    C'est l'aube du reste de nos vies
    En vacances
    Entendre le tambour battre hors du temps
    Un autre manifestant a franchi la ligne (hé !)
    Pour trouver, l'argent est de l'autre côté
    Je peux avoir un autre Amen (Amen !)
    Il y a un drapeau enroulé autour d'une vingtaine d'hommes (hey !)
    Un gag, un sac plastique sur un monument
    Je supplie de rêver et de différer des mensonges creux
    C'est l'aube du reste de nos vies
    En vacances
    "Le représentant de la Californie a la parole"
    Sieg Heil pour le président Gasman
    Les bombes sont votre punition
    Pulvériser les tours Eiffel
    Qui critiquent votre gouvernement
    Bang bang va le verre brisé et
    Tuez tous les pédés qui ne sont pas d'accord
    Essais par mise à feu
    Ce n'est pas une façon qui m'est destinée
    Juste parce que
    Juste parce que
    Parce qu'on est des hors-la-loi, ouais !
    Je supplie de rêver et d'être différent des mensonges creux
    C'est l'aube du reste de nos vies
    Je supplie de rêver et de différer des mensonges creux
    C'est l'aube du reste de nos vies
    C'est notre vie en vacances

    I got into Greenday during their Basket Case Album, before they became mainstream, this album is what got their start into mainstream, this album was the end of my Greenday days, but, Holiday was the only song that I like from this album. Still great after 15 years later. I almost forgot about Greenday, until they made an appearance at the Game Awards. Dam, age doesnt look like it's been too kind to Billie Joe, but he still sings pretty well, and the rest of Greenday still performs pretty well. I miss the 90s

  44. D.... S....

    december 2019 ?

  66. G.... M....

    Ok, i think they wrote it in the independence holiday, because it makes more sense than Christmas
    The music, for me, is a satire about the eua and its Future, and they talk about bombs and some presidents, they are making funny and alerting us about the wars and etc.

  67. C.... M....

    Wasnt expecting the official video to be censored

  77. H.... H....

    I can’t think of another Billie joe Armstrong idk why

  78. A.... X....

    This song is about the American government and society during the Iraqi War. It begins by commenting on how the thousands of dead Americans and Iraqis are nameless to the average American citizen. This song expresses resentment with the corporate greed and corruption involved in the "rebuilding" effort, and shows how the average protester realizes that the pro-war money involved has more power than they can ever have. It also points out the irony of the Christian right-wing feeling religiously justified in this war: "Can I get another 'Amen'? There's a flag wrapped around the score of men."


    This follows the story on the album. Jesus of Suburbia has just left town and he's living his life on the streets ("Hear the sound of the falling rain..."). He's speaking out loud and acting in vain, but it seems like he's talking himself into believing that running away was the right thing to do, explaining his reasons of discontent to himself. He still feels alone, and shunned from society, but it seems he feels a little more self-confidence and happiness out on the road. It's Jesus of Suburbia yelling out and expressing his own dead beliefs onto the world. Like screaming into mid air.


    To go "On Holiday" is to go on vacation. So this is basically like an escape, a runaway. This leads us into Boulevard Of Broken Dreams


    This is often considered an anti-American song, but on Green Day's Bullet In A Bible DVD, Armstrong says, "This song is not anti-American, its anti-war."


    Billie Joe Armstrong told Q magazine May 2009 that sometimes he doesn't know where he gets his songs from. For instance, when he found himself singing "Sieg Heil to the president gas man" on this number, he freaked himself out. He said: "It was kind of like, Where was this coming from? It was taking an ugly picture and painting it uglier. The thing that justifies it is that it was true."


    While the song is a dig at conservative agendas, it doesn't entirely spare liberals. Armstrong told MTV: "I am anti-war, so a lot of [the album] has to do with that, and there's different sides of it too. Like, there's one line that sort of messes with liberals a little too, where it says, 'Hear the drum pounding out of time/ Another protester has crossed the line/ To find the money's on the other side.'"

He continues. "That song ['Holiday'] is about this mishmash of people with all these strong opinions who really can't agree, and leaving [decisions] to the person who's sort of standing in the middle confused and overwhelmed."


    The music video is one of several that Samuel Bayer directed for Green Day. "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams," "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "American Idiot."

    This song has been featured in the 2006 comedy film, Accepted. It was also used as the goal song of the Vancouver Canucks during their run to the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. The Canucks started using the song again for the goal song at the beginning of the 2018-19 NHL season. The song also appeared in an episode of CSI: NY. This song was also featured in the soundtrack of the video game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.

    So that’s the meaning and facts about this song

    The reasons why Green Day is Hated

    Green Day is Hated cause with the Dookie album when they "sold out" and went major label. Punks get cranky about people making money,All their songs sound the same,they’re too political,they lost their punk edge and went too mainstream,they’re sellouts,infusing their classic punk influences with something a bit more "mainstream" or on the pop side, and the hate train was bound to ensue,change in sound (people don't like change in the music they love),2004 raging fangirls turned a lot of people away

    So those are the reasons why Green Day is Hated

    And BTW I still love Green Day even though they’re Hated ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    The shame,

    Another protester has
    Crossed the line
    (Hey!)
    To find the money's
    On the other side
    Can I get another Amen?
    (Amen!)
    There's a flag wrapped
    Around a score of men
    (Hey!)

    A gag,
    A plastic bag on a monument

    I beg to dream and differ
    From the hollow lies
    This is the dawning of

    And
    Kill all the fags
    That don't agree
    Trials by fire,
    Setting fire
    Is not a way
    That's meant for me
    Just cause,
    Just cause
    Because we're outlaws,
    Yeah!

    I beg to dream and differ
    From the hollow lies
    This is the dawning of
    The rest of our lives
    I beg to dream and differ
    From the hollow lies
    This is the dawning of
    The rest of our lives
    This is our lives on holiday
