"Longview"
The Funny Lyrics: Call me pathetic call me what you will
Why They're Funny: Just after Billie Joe sings this you can hear Mike, the bassist, call him 'what you will' (IOW, he takes it literally!).
Submitted by: Optimus Lime
| "Warning"
The Funny Lyrics: This is a public service announcement,
this is only a test Emergency evacuation protest May impair your ability to operate machinery Why They're Funny: I liked this lyric because it sounded like a tribute to Eminem and his chainsaw (he doesn't seem to exactly have much 'ability to operate machinery' in some of his live performances)!

"Brain Stew"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: On my own...here we go!
Why They're Nonsensical: It's inconsistent. The first phrase, "on my own", implies an individual is telling the story, but the next phrase, "here we go", implies a group of people involved. Shouldn't it be "here I go", for consistency's sake? I mean, if you're on your own, "Here *I* Go" is the more grammatically correct phrase to use.

| "2000 Light Years Away"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: She holds my malachite
so tight so never let go 'Cause she's 2000 light years away Why They're Nonsensical: 'Malachite' is a type of rock. Is Billie Joe a geologist? And why is this girl holding his rock?

| "American Idiot"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Don't want to be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania Why They're Misrhymed: Only an idiot would try to rhyme 'idiot' and 'mania' with each other. They think the next two lines make up for their pathetic attempt at dissing their country. That folks, is a perfect example of a genuine 'American Idiot'.

For what it's worth it was worth all the while. Why They're Inappropriate: What the hell is the dead skin in reference to? Was it a recollection of a bad sunburn??
