Green Day - Letterbomb Lyrics






"Nobody likes you.
Everyone left you.
They're all out without you having fun."

Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly stacks up ten high
The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
Like a flunkie along for the ride

Where have all the riots gone
As the city's motto gets pulverized?
What's in love is now in debt
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse!

The town bishop is an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist
Standing still when it's do or die
You better run for your fucking life

It's not over 'til you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late

There's nothing left to analyze

Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
And where will we all go when it's too late?

And don't look back

You're not the Jesus of Suburbia
The St. Jimmy is a figment of
Your father's rage and your mother's love
Made me the idiot America

It's not over 'til you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late

She said, "I can't take this place.
I'm leaving it behind."
Well, she said, "I can't take this town.
I'm leaving you tonight."

    1:40 is so good

  5. t.... ....

    Glooooooria! Where are you Gloria?!?!?

    When I was younger, for some reason this made me cry.. :0 I have no idea why

  7. D.... N....

    Great song 💥❤️🎸

  8. D.... G....

    Where have all the bastards gone

  9. A.... K....

    Anyone still listening at 2020?!!

  10. R.... C....

    Amoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  11. g.... ....

    Balls out rocking song!

  12. R.... ....

    Quien mas viene por que un japones lo canto en su escuela?? Lo vi en un video vlog jajajaja xddd :3

  13. p.... C....

    Tune! I'm leaving the city that has dragged me down for a while now, to start somewhere new with my best mate! This song makes me think about starting again somewhere better =D!

  14. l.... ....

    spotify is a dum dum poopoo head and doesnt like you listening to only this, you have to listen to it combined with extraordinary girl

  15. N.... E....

    This gives me serious nimrod vibes

  16. j.... ....

    3:14 this part ❤️

  17. j.... ....

    extremely frustrating that this song isnt available on spotify by itself, only together with extraordinary girl, which is also great, but sometimes i only want to listen to one of them.

  18. G.... l....

    Man American really had its own unique sound. Like nothing that’s ever been heard. Props to them!

  19. F.... ....

    1:41 I'm in love with that part

  20. S.... E....

    my favourite song from this album.

  21. D.... ....

    Such an underrated song..

  22. C.... d....

    Wow it has been a long time since the first time i listened to this song. I was still a high school student. Those were great times where i could lay in bed while listening to my favourite music without any important worry.

    Hope you too enjoy this piece. I recommebd to you '' whatsername''

  23. L.... W....

    This is the climax of the album, period. Not only musically, but from the standpoint of the story as well. It's about the Jesus of Suburbia realizing that he's as messed up as everyone else, both demented and disturbed as he said in Jesus of Suburbia. It also highlights a harsh breakup with Whatsername.

    To the ones who say that Homecoming is the climax of the album: Homecoming is just about the death of St. Jimmy and it goes over some of the most important parts of the story. It serves more as a conclusion whereas Letterbomb is the point at which the realization hits and he battles the problems that he has, sort of like a final boss of a game. It's truly a masterpiece.

  24. l.... ....

    I was today years old when I found out it was Kathleen Hanna at the beginning of this sing.

  25. D.... ....

    13k people conspired to blow up 305 mailboxes.

  26. M.... ....

    Despite the fact that I always forget this song exists, it is actually the song that comes to mind first when I think of Green Day.

  27. L.... O....

    “It’s not over till you’re undergrad”

  28. S.... S....

    Green Day Best Band 🤘

  29. B.... S....

    You better run for your fuckin life

  30. Y.... F....

    To Magik Mike fans:

    2:19

    You're welcome.

  31. T.... ....

    2:05 oh JEEZ

  32. f.... ....

    This makes me so happy hhh

  33. M.... ....

    0:05 that really hits a lot

  34. d.... ....

    I can't decide if this song is optimistic or pessimistic. I know it's the part of the story where everything goes to shit, but the "it's not over til you're underground" throws me off

  35. R.... B....

    What 1 thing defies the law?

  36. u.... l....

    Green day is honestly such a lovely band

  37. �.... ....

    一番好き

  38. N.... m....

    The first 23 seconds are like an anxiety attack if the drums and gutar were the actual panic and the words were there.

  39. M.... P....

    Heartbreaking. Every single time.

  40. G.... M....

    The sheer power of the sound production, the lyrics and the energy of Billie J.'s delivery, this album might not remain legendary like some others but they sure invested some genuine creativity and soul in it. I love it

  41. N.... m....

    This is on my playlist and it's just. Right after baby hit me one more time.

  42. A.... S....

    bro the lyrics are like so awesome and just everything about this song is just so good i love it so much

  43. S.... M....

    Cheap Trick- Shes Tight 1:31

  44. T.... T....

    Probably my favourite greenday track. 👍

  45. H.... S....

    "Nobody likes you
    Everyone left you
    They're all out without you
    Having fun"
    Bruh that shit hurted ;-;

  46. A.... C....

    Letterbomb

    The title is so accurate

  47. r.... ....

    where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
    and where will we all go when it's too late?

  48. T.... C....

    Underrated Classic

  49. E.... A....

    This is the only album that doesn't have a song I don't like. all their older albums are great too, but there is always one song I don't really like. I love this album and it's my favourite of all time.

  50. g.... ....

    I just saw this live and holy shIT

  51. c.... f....

    This is in my opinion, the best song on this album. Jesus of Suburbia is a very close second. I discovered this album as a kid and now im 28 and its still just as raw to me emotionally

  52. A.... G....

    Don’t wanna be an america idiot?

    Well, unlucky for you.

  53. C.... X....

    its sounds like viva la gloria

  54. L.... ....

    2:40 is the best part in my opinion

  55. B.... K....

    That lyrics blew my 18yo old mind back then in 2004. I never be the same again. Thank You GD.

  56. H.... M....

    I love his screams at 2:19 I wish he would've done more
    Best part of the song 00:00/4:05
    This whole album is great. I love pretty much every song of it.

  57. A.... _....

    Tsk, as if this masterpiece only deserved 2.2 million views

  58. �.... �....

    It just makes me feel my everything!!! This
    Song reminds me who i really am

  59. T.... S....

    Where have all the bastards gone? Seriously.

  60. 1.... ....

    I suppose this has potential to be good, but the lyrics are cringeworthy, I don't like the instrumentation, and the scream at 2:21 is extremely cringeworthy.

    1.... ....

    I disagree with you but respect your opinion as many others are uncivil when it comes to other people's opinions.

    1.... ....

    Boy I tell you, if the songs on American Idiot were in the style of 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours with some different lyrics, maybe I would like them a lot more

  61. f.... i....

    i dont like this song but this brought me here please.hackmii.com

  62. M.... N....

    yeah I'm the Jesus of Suburbia,
    the St. Jimmy is affirmative,
    your father's rage, and your mother's love,
    has made a U-ie in America
    :)

  63. G.... G....

    Governator should've been immediately after this song.

  64. m.... ....

    first time i heard this song was in the middle of the night about a year ago when i was listening to the full album and i almost had a heart attack when the creepy girl voice kicked in

  65. R.... -....

    Minha música favorita desse álbum
    Foda pra caralho!!

  66. M.... ....

    homebrew wii lmao

  67. C.... D....

    This is my birthday song

  68. F.... A....

    Where will all the Martyrs go when the virus cures itself? And where will we all go when it’s too late ?

    F.... A....

    *_SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE_*

  69. G.... S....

    Could not belive that i wasted someone who knows and reacts to pray like this

  70. L.... W....

    December 2004. Good times

  71. R.... L....

    She said, I can't take this place
    I'm leaving it behind
    Well she said, I can't take this town
    I'm leaving you tonight

    My childhood sweetheart. She left town and me for Austin. She ended up pregnant from some guy she barely knew and never enrolled in college like she wanted to. A year and a half later, she ended up on the far north side of the town I had moved to myself. She called me up and we began seeing each other again and bonding. I opted to take her back and adopt who would be OUR daughter. Even with the stability and the 4 walls of a home before her, she walked out again.

  72. V.... V....

    Palmeiras não tem mundial!

  73. X.... B....
