In the shadows where the heads hang low
You hear voices as the wind blows, asking "Can't you see?"
Reminding you to breathe
It's only time before it catches up to you and all your broken luck
I found a better way to get even with my memory

In the darkness where the angels cry
Give us water, give us back our eyes
Our bed's this concrete floor, and it's all we have left to live for
A day we'll never face
We're only second-handed, we're sick, and lonely
Fighting back the tears and every urge to Van Gogh both our ears

That's it, we've had enough
Please turn that fucking radio off
Ain't nothing on the air waving the despair we feel

In the shadows where the heads hang low
You hear voices as the wind blows, asking "can't you see?"
Reminding you to breathe
It's only time before it catches up to you and all your broken luck
I found a better way to get even with my enemies

That's it, we've had enough
Please turn that fucking radio off
Ain't nothing on the air waving the despair we feel
That said, we've had enough
Put "Walk Among Us" on and turn it up
Ain't nothing on the air waving the hatred I feel

This is my biggest fear
The only tunes that we hear
Come via antenna through your car radio

That's it, we've had enough (we've had enough)
That's it, we've had enough (we've had enough)

    General Comment:oh but I do agree that Green Day should just write about random shit, 'cause I'm so sick of political music, that I think I'm gonna vomit. I don't wanna hear anymore about you americans and your stupid war. And I also take back when I said Alkaline Trio is alright. They're better than alright they're very good, but still not as good as Green Day.

    General Comment:Oh god... Shut up, shut up!!!! And stop talking shit about Green Day you fucking retards! It's not like Alkaline Trio is exactly underground band either. If you're talking shit about GD you should at least be a real punk and not some fuckin' EMO kid thinking you're a real punk.

    And by the way, Alkaline Trio is just alright band, but have you noticed how their every songs sounds just alike? Yeah, at least Green Day songs are different and they are trying different styles. Green Day is a great band and if you superior assholes are too stupid to realize it then fuck you.

    General Comment:I think more bands should do anti-mainstream songs (but I think Green Day should die)
    There is something really powerful about this song, maybe because:-
    Unlike Green Day this band actually care
    Unlike Green Day this band have allways been critical of society
    This song came out way before American Idiot
    Green Day just copied Matt with the whole eye-liner thing
    Billie Joe is a dick!
    Alkaline Trio are great! Their new stuff is a little emo though:(
