Green Day - Panic Song Lyrics






Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self destruction
Widespread panic

Broken glass inside my head
Bleeding down these thoughts of
Anguish... mass confusion

The world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with... I don't care

There's a plague inside of me
Eating at my disposition
Nothing's left

Torn out of reality
Into a state of no opinion
Limp with hate

The world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with... I don't care

I wanna jump out! [x4]

  1. L.... E....

    Ready for a cheap escape
    On the brink of self-destruction
    Widespread panic
    Broken glass inside my head
    Bleeding down these thoughts of anguish
    Mass confusion
    Well, the world is a sick machine
    Breeding a mass of shit
    With such a desolate conclusion
    Fill the void with I don't care
    There's a plague inside of me
    Eating at my disposition
    Nothing's left
    Torn out of reality
    To a state of no opinion
    Limp with hate
    Well, the world is a sick machine
    Breeding a mass of shit
    With such a desolate conclusion
    Fill the void with I don't care
    I wanna jump out
    I wanna jump out
    I wanna jump out
    I wanna jump out
    <3

  2. J.... j....

    Common misconception mike actually plays with a pic so he’s much more likely to have his arms hurt compared to his fingers and wrist, unless he has really bad technique

  3. S.... D....

    Best intro of a Green Day song EVER!

  4. K.... K....

    "well the world is a sick machine breeding a mass of shit"

    I kinda agree with Billie

  5. c.... ....

    I wonder how many calories Mike and Tre burned recording this song...

    Yeah I can see why he said this song is too difficult to do live. Not for him, It'd kill everyone else before they got to the singing.

  11. C.... A....

    It sounds just like a Godspeed You! Black Emperor song if you play it at 0.5x speed, which is low key hilarious

  12. B.... ....

    Im here after billie saying this was too hard to play live

    B.... ....

    omg same lmao

    B.... ....

    @Billy Edwards x2

    B.... ....

    @Billy Edwards It was on Instagram, when someone asked him in the comments of one of his posts

  13. P.... P....

    Waiting to hear Billie's voice like 2 minutes in

  14. P.... ....

    Siapa yang kesini gara-gara liat postingannya hai_online?

  15. D.... F....

    I love how this has 182k views right now

  16. B.... C....

    This song's bass is literally giving me anxiety

  17. C.... R....

    1995 was the best year of ALL TIME...... Too bad for anyone born AFTER 1985. ah-haaaa!!!!!!

    C.... R....

    So im 20 years too young. Lol

  18. H.... M....

    Billie says it’s too hard to play live.

    H.... M....

    No shit

    H.... M....

    Well he said that and he's too lazy

    H.... M....

    For Mike and Tre, not him

    H.... M....

    I would like to thank the Tweet screenshot on FB for getting me here.

    H.... M....

    Maybe for Mike and Tre, but for him, it’s probably super easy

  19. Y.... I....

    Mike and Tre were actually legally able to take cocaine to record this.

    Y.... I....

    Yo It's me, Dawg
    wait actually?
    no way but Mike Dirnt for sure had to get some like carpal tunnel cream or something after recording this

    Y.... I....

    @The_Beast18 its a joke child...

    Y.... I....

    @Kaden B
    With Green Day coke seems unlikely but they’ve taken plenty of drugs before.

    Y.... I....

    The album is called Insomniac because they were all doing Meth at the time.
    Look it up. They've never denied it.

  20. A.... s....

    That bass syncs up.with my nervous tremble

  21. �.... ....

    halfway song(*´Д`)

  22. A.... X....

    Most likely this song was inspired by feelings that overwhelm you during a panic attack. The devastating and ultimate fright that grabs your mind and body emphasizing all of your deepest and darkest fears, it tears you out of reality and destroys you from the inside; your body is under so much pressure that in the end it just goes limp, limp with hate.


    In this song the narrator describes his disgust towards the "sick machine" that this world is, he says that there is so much stuff in the world that it just keeps bringing more and more hatred, and in the end there's so much of this hatred that it makes you empty and all you can do is just not care anymore. The song basically says "Stop the Earth, I wanna get off!"

    So that’s the meaning to this song

    From songmeanings.com

  23. D.... C....

    Ese bajeo está de pánico 😍

  24. M.... Y....

    Mike: Man, my fingers hurt so bad!
    Tré: Man, my arms hurt so bad!







    Billie: What are you guys talking about?

    M.... Y....

    Billie's over there just slowly bopping his hands up and down while everyone else is like HDDJDFNDISEBIRBSHF

  25. A.... P....

    1/2 speed give you general unease.
    Normal sounds like panic. (Duh)
    x2 Feels like a sensory overload

  26. M.... H....

    Does the "I wanna jump out" part sound like the "shout it, shout it, shout it out loud" part from Motley Crue to anyonelse?

  27. g.... ....

    I swear I’m pretty sure this song is making my heart beat waaayy faster than it should be

  28. A.... A....

    Waiting for a cheap escape?
    Waiting for the mass of self-destruction?
    Broken glass on my head again?
    Beating this inside of England

    The world is a sick machine bringing a mass of sh*t
    With the world of the conclution, ‘til the void I don’t care

    There’s a plane inside of me!
    He had not needed perfection
    For the world reality... do a state of no opinions

    Well, the world is a sick machine bringing a mass of sh*t
    Fill the void and I don’t care

    4
    |: I punished your bear! :|

  29. o.... 6....

    Do not put this on 2x speed unless you want a stroke.

  30. L.... ....

    That bass makes me feel good <3

  31. A.... G....

    This song should be included in a music game like Rock Band

    A.... G....

    Move over Through the Fire and Flames lol

  32. J.... G....

    Fuck it all

  33. N.... T....

    They certainly got how I felt amidst my panic attacks to a tee. Hope I never have them again.

  34. B.... R....

    This is pretty much dookie but just less cheesy

  35. J.... ....

    Buena Mike

  36. N.... ....

    BROKEN GLASS INSIDE MY HEAD

  39. G.... D....

    Oh my god play at 2x speed.

    G.... D....

    Oh my god what religion is this

  40. m.... ....

    when i hear that opening bass it always makes me think of a mouse running

    m.... ....

    Someone make an animation of this

    m.... ....

    Dr. P Lankton wow now I can’t stop thinking about it

  41. F.... T....

    Don't listen to this while driving or you'll find yourself going 115 MPH.

  42. T.... G....

    Trying to learn this on bass is like lighting your right hand on fire and rubbing the sharp end of velcro on your left

  43. B.... ....

    How can anyone play the bass that fast

    B.... ....

    buckwildcheese this isn't just anyone, this is Mike dirnt we are talking about, he is special

    B.... ....

    Pepsi Fifa oh thanks

  44. T.... N....

    This should be playing in Wal-Mart while everybody's just runin around tryna get their shit and get out

  45. J.... B....

    Clarise, Chuckle, DVNO, Johan

  46. J.... ....

    It seems shorter than it actually is

    J.... ....

    time goes by faster when your having fun

    J.... ....

    Cause it starts off slow and builds up suspension

  47. I.... M....

    Speed it up to 1.25x

  48. j.... g....

    For all the jazz dorks who think rock bass playing is a joke.

  49. C.... C....

    What a great long instrumental break

  50. R.... ....

  52. G.... N....

    The most underrated

  53. b.... ....

    RIP Jerry Fin

  54. Y.... M....

    The first 2 minutes made me feel like I was choking on panic for the entire time.

    Y.... M....

    Listening it for the first time, I'm 40 seconds in and I might have to stop because I'm getting anxiety seriously i'm scared of this song's power

  55. E.... Z....

    Matthew, I never had panic attacks in my life.

  56. i.... ....

    Still poignant

  57. D.... ....

    This is just screaming carpel tunnel.

    D.... ....

    Ikr? All the tremolo picking

    D.... ....

    Idk if you knew but mike did get carpel tunnel from this song I think

  58. M.... ....

    Fill the void with I don't care

    M.... ....

    Mark Belmont I wanna jump out

    M.... ....

    I wanna jump out

  59. P.... ....

    Lol this song is so funny

    P.... ....

    It's really not if you have experienced what this song is about

  60. A.... k....

    Panic! Song

    A.... k....

    @Star Platinum agreed

    A.... k....

    @Star Platinum I'm not the biggest fan of emo but I would not describe Brendon Urie's voice as shitty.

    A.... k....

    Copper CatFox his voice is like anime.... shitty.

    A.... k....

    I don’t like what panic does now, but I like they’re old stuff like sins not tragedies.

    A.... k....

    No genre of music is “better” than another, I don’t like rap or pop or definition emo (I’m kinda back and forth on if Panic! is emo or not, most likely not) but it doesn’t mean that (as much as I want to say they are) those genres are bad, it’s okay to mention another band in a comment section, have some respect for other people’s opinions.

  61. m.... ....

    Have they ever played this live?? I always assumed Mike and Tre (but ESPECIALLY Mike) recorded a segment of that intro, and then just looped it, because maintaining that level of tremolo on a bass for that long flawlessly in the studio is deceptively challenging. Either way, brilliant fucking intro. The sound of an anxiety attack expressed through music as an epic, poetic event

    m.... ....

    Nah man they did it in one take it’s how they recorded back then

    m.... ....

    Really? I never read that. Not saying it's untrue, just that I hadn't heard it. Each instrument separately in one take, or do you mean the three instruments live in the room in one take, and then overdub the vocals later?

    m.... ....

    every song on dookie they did in 3 takes or less. they're unreal

    m.... ....

    They didn't loop it it was recorded before looping was popular

    m.... ....

    It’s easier to play than it sounds

  62. R.... A....

    Htf does this not have more likes?

  63. T.... M....

    This song sounds the way panic attacks feel. Which makes sense, seeing the inspiration behind it.

    T.... M....

    Tony Soprano has panic attacks.

    T.... M....

    Yes I have ALOT of panic attacks and I listen to this song when I'm calmed

    T.... M....

    Yeah I get them too. It’ll probably be running through my head next time I get one

  64. i.... p....

    No lyrics huh.. love you guys anyway

    i.... p....

    indecent proposal There are lyrics. They just take forefer

  65. E.... Z....

    I've never had a panic attack.

    E.... Z....

    Good for you!

    E.... Z....

    Your lucky

    E.... Z....

    I'm having one right now, ahhhhhhhhhhhh

  66. E.... Z....

    Did anyone had panic attacks before?

    E.... Z....

    I've had them, they're the worst.

    E.... Z....

    I think I had one at their show in NJ right before the encore 😩

    E.... Z....

    Yeah. Thankfully I've only ever had one, but no one should have to go through them

    E.... Z....

    Yeah and weed is what brought them on

  67. D.... M....

    Billie is right the world is a mass of shit !!!

  68. T.... ....

    Play this shit at 2.0 speed

  69. P.... ....

    Years of chronic masturbation payed off.

  70. M.... R....

    Good job !

  71. F.... ....

    How did mike and tre not die from making this song

    F.... ....

    LMFAO i never thought of that until i saw your comment

    F.... ....

    This song is really easy to play

    F.... ....

    Haha right. Crazy bass.

    F.... ....

    Every time I try to do something like that with my guitar, I end up stiffening up my wrist and lose all consistency. That stuff is hard!

    F.... ....

    @Erstlouis No, it really isn't. Just means you suck at guitar.

  72. E.... Z....

    This song is about Mike Drint's panic attacks.

    E.... Z....

    Mike Drink

    E.... Z....

    D r i n t

    E.... Z....

    C.... M....

    @CC Music
    1)He plays with a pick
    2)He is a legend

    C.... M....

    @Bian Brieto imagine what Cliff Burton would do with his fingers in this song

    C.... M....

    Jackstone Brooks88 no he was right, it’s tremolo picking

    C.... M....

    There is a reason this song is not played live.

  77. J.... C....

    Green Day just does everything correct, to the tee, just, right. So thankful for these guys!

  78. R.... T....

    This is my favorite album and this is definitely one of my favorite songs on the album.

    R.... T....

    100% Agree

  79. M.... ....

    everything after insomniac=0

    M.... ....

    I really like 21st Century Breakdown too, never listened to much of Uno Dos Tre because what I heard I didn't like

    M.... ....

    TheMason658 you should give them a real shot. There's a bunch of hidden gems in there that are a lot like their older stuff ore 2000

    M.... ....

    Mike Hasbro American idiot is where they blew up( as in they got really popular and famous)

    M.... ....

    Warning is fucking awesome!!!
    Shenanigans too

    M.... ....
