Álbum American Idiot de Green Day - Canciones

American Idiot

Reseña

El séptimo álbum de Green Day es "American Idiot", un disco lanzado el 21 de septiembre de 2004 por Reprise Records, producido por Rob Cavallo, colaborador habitual de la banda en sus principales éxitos.

Las grabaciones de este nuevo álbum de Green Day se realizaron en los estudios Studio 880, en Oakland y Ocean Way Recording en Hollywood, a caballo entre 2003 y 2004.

Considerado como un álbum conceptual, los miembros de Green Day se han referido a él como una ópera rock, la historia de Jesus de Suburbia, una especie de antihéroe estadounidense de clase media-baja en edad adolescente. El álbum expresa la desilusión y la decepción de una generación que se hizo mayor en un período marcado por una época revuelta, con hechos dramáticos como fueron los atentados del 11 de septiembre y la Guerra de Irak.

Para lograr la coherencia entre la historia y los temas, Green Day utilizó técnicas inéditas en sus anteriores trabajos, como las transiciones entre las canciones y composiciones largas, con altas dosis creativas que forman parte de los capítulos que conforman la historia..

"American Idiot" se publicó tras un descanso tomado por la banda tras la decepción comercial que supuso su anterior álbum titulado "Warning". Tras ese paréntesis, comenzaron a escribir canciones para el que iba a ser su siguiente trabajo, un álbum titulado "Cigarettes and Valentines". Cuando se encontraban en la fase de grabación, alguien robó las cintas maestras que servían de base de trabajo en la grabación.

Encontrándose de repente con un trabajo perdido, decidieron comenzar de nuevo, con nuevas ideas que partían de cero. Como resultado, concibieron este álbum titulado "American Idiot", un álbum muy crítico con la sociedad y políticamente comprometido, con sonidos que volvían a traer el punk rock que la banda había abandonado en "Warning" en favor de un sonido más pop y folk.

El álbum "American Idiot" se convirtió en uno de los estrenos más esperados en 2004, alcanzando el primer puesto en la lista Billboard 200 en Estados Unidos y repitiendo el mismo éxito en numerosos países.

"American Idiot" se convirtió en uno de los álbumes más vendidos la década y los registros marcan más de 16 millones de copias vendidas en todo el mundo.

Los cinco sencillos extraídos del álbum ayudaron a posicionar el álbum en las listas de medio mundo, con canciones como "American Idiot", "Holiday", "Wake Me Up When September Ends", "Jesus of Suburbia" y "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", con el que Green Day ganó un Premio Grammy a la Mejor Grabación del Año y un MTV Video Music Award como Video del Año.

    letra de American Idiot

    Don't want to be an American idiot.
    Don't want a nation under the new media.
    And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
    The subliminal mind-fuck America.
    Welcome to a new kind of tension.
    All across the alien nation.
    Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
    Television dreams of tomorrow.
    We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
    For that's enough to argue.
    Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
    I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
    Now everybody do the propaganda.
    And sing along to the age of paranoia.
    Welcome to a new kind of tension.
    All across the alien nation.
    Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
    Television dreams of tomorrow.
    We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
    For that's enough to argue.
    Don't want to be an American idiot.
    One nation controlled by the media.
    Information Age of hysteria.
    It's calling out to idiot America.
    Welcome to a new kind of tension.
    All across the alien nation.
    Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
    Television dreams of tomorrow.
    We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
    For that's enough to argue.

    letra de Jesus of Suburbia

    I'm the son of rage and love
    The Jesus of Suburbia
    The bible of none of the above
    On a steady diet of
    Soda Pop and Ritalin
    No one ever died for my
    Sins in hell
    As far as I can tell
    At least the ones that I got away with
    And there's nothing wrong with me
    This is how I'm supposed to be
    In a land of make believe
    That don't believe in me
    Get my television fix
    Sitting on my crucifix
    The living room in my private womb
    While the Moms and brats are away
    To fall in love and fall in debt
    To alcohol and cigarettes
    And Mary Jane
    To keep me insane
    Doing someone else's cocaine
    And there's nothing wrong with me
    This is how I'm supposed to be
    In a land of make believe
    That don't believe in me
    At the center of the earth
    In the parking lot
    Of the 7-11 where I was taught
    The motto was just a lie
    It says home is where your heart is
    But what a shame
    Cause everyone's heart
    Doesn't beat the same
    It's beating out of time
    City of the dead
    At the end of another lost highway
    Signs misleading to nowhere
    City of the damned
    Lost children with dirty faces today
    No one really seems to care
    I read the graffiti
    In the bathroom stall
    Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
    And so it seemed to confess
    It didn't say much
    But it only confirmed that
    The center of the earth
    Is the end of the world
    And I could really care less
    City of the dead
    At the end of another lost highway
    Signs misleading to nowhere
    City of the damned
    Lost children with dirty faces today
    No one really seems to care
    I don't care if you don't
    I don't care if you don't
    I don't care if you don't care
    I don't care
    Everyone's so full of shit
    Born and raised by hypocrites
    Hearts recycled but never saved
    From the cradle to the grave
    We are the kids of war and peace
    From Anaheim to the Middle East
    We are the stories and disciples of
    The Jesus of suburbia
    Land of make believe
    And it don't believe in me
    Land of make believe
    And I don't believe
    And I don't care!
    Dearly beloved are you listening?
    I can't remember a word that you were saying
    Are we demented or am I disturbed?
    The space that's in between insane and insecure
    Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
    Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
    Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
    For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse
    To live, and not to breathe
    Is to die, in tragedy
    To run, to run away
    To find, what you believe
    And I leave behind
    This hurricane of fucking lies
    I lost my faith to this
    This town that don't exist
    So I run, I run away
    To the lights of masochists
    And I, leave behind
    This hurricane of fucking lies
    And I, walked this line
    A million and one fucking times
    But not this time
    I don't feel any shame
    I wont apologize
    When there ain't nowhere you can go
    Running away from pain
    When you've been victimized
    Tales from another broken home
    Oh you're leaving
    You're leaving
    You're leaving
    Are you leaving home?

    letra de Holiday

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

    letra de Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

    [Verse 1]
    I walk a lonely road
    The only one that I have ever known
    Don't know where it goes
    But it's home to me and I walk alone
    [Verse 2]
    I walk this empty street
    On the Boulevard of broken dreams
    Where the city sleeps
    And I'm the only one and I walk alone
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I walk alone
    I walk alone
    I walk alone
    I walk a...
    [Chorus]
    My shadow's only one that walks beside me
    My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
    Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
    Till then I walk alone
    Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aah-ah
    Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
    [Verse 3]
    I'm walking down the line
    That divides me somewhere in my mind
    On the border line of the edge
    And where I walk alone
    Read between the lines
    What's fucked up and everything's all right
    Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
    And I walk alone
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I walk alone
    I walk alone
    I walk alone
    I walk a...
    [Chorus]
    My shadow's only one that walks beside me
    My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
    Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
    Till then I walk alone
    Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aah-ah
    Ah-ah, ah-ah
    I walk alone
    I walk a
    [Verse 4]
    I walk this empty street
    On the Boulevard of broken dreams
    Where the city sleeps
    And I'm the only one and I walk a
    [Chorus]
    My shadow's only one that walks beside me
    My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
    Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
    Till then I walk alone

    letra de Are We The Waiting

    Starry nights city lights
    Coming down over me
    Skyscrapers and stargazers
    In my head
    Are we we are, are we we are
    The waiting unknown
    This dirty town was burning down in my dreams
    Lost and found, city bound in my dreams
    And screaming
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
    And screaming
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
    Forget me nots and second thoughts
    Live in isolation
    Heads or tails and fairy tales in my mind
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
    The rage and love, the story of my life
    The Jesus of suburbia is a lie
    And screaming
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
    And screaming
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
    And screaming
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
    And screaming
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
    Ohh
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
    Ohh
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting

    letra de St. Jimmy

    St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway
    Up on the boulevard like a zip gun on parade
    Light of a silhouette
    He's insubordinate
    Coming at you on the count of one, two (one, two, three, four)
    My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
    Suicide commando that your momma talked about
    King of the forty thieves
    And I'm here to represent
    That needle in the vein of the establishment
    I'm the patron saint of the denial
    With an angel face and a taste for suicidal
    Cigarettes and Ramen and a little bag of dope
    I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allan Poe
    Raised in the city under a halo of lights
    The product of war and fear that we've been victimized
    I'm the patron saint of the denial
    With an angel face and a taste for suicidal
    Are you talkin' to me?
    I'll give you something to cry about St. Jimmy
    My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun
    I am the one that's from the way outside
    A teenage assassin executing some fun
    In the cult of the life of crime
    I'd really hate to say it but I told you so
    So shut your mouth before I shoot you down ol' boy
    Welcome to the club and give me some blood
    I'm the resident leader of the lost and found
    It's comedy and tragedy, it's St. Jimmy
    And that's my name, and don't wear it out

    letra de Give Me Novacaine

    Take away the sensation inside
    Bitter sweet migraine in my head
    Its like a throbbing tooth ache of the mind
    I can't take this feeling anymore
    Drain the pressure from the swelling,
    The sensations overwhelming,
    Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright
    Tell me that I won't feel a thing
    So give me Novacaine
    Out of body and out of mind
    Kiss the demons out of my dreams
    I get the funny feeling, that's alright
    Jimmy says it's better than here,
    I'll tell you why
    Drain the pressure from the swelling,
    The sensations overwhelming,
    Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright,
    Tell me that I won't feel a thing,
    So give me Novacaine
    Oh Novacaine
    Drain the pressure from the swelling,
    The sensations overwhelming
    Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright,
    Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing,
    So give me Novacaine

    She's an extraordinary girl
    In an ordinary world
    And she can't seem to get away
    He lacks the courage in his mind
    Like a child left behind
    Like a pet left in the rain
    She's all alone again
    Wiping the tears from her eyes
    Some days he feels like dying
    She gets so sick of crying
    She sees the mirror of herself
    And image she wants to sell
    To anyone willing to buy
    He steals the image in her kiss
    From her hearts apocalypse
    From the one called whats her name
    She's all alone again
    Wiping the tears from her eyes
    Some days he feels like dying
    She gets so sick of crying
    She's all alone again
    Wiping the tears from her eyes
    Some days he feels like dying
    Some days he's not worth trying
    Now that they're both up on it
    She gets so sick of crying
    She's an extraordinary girl
    An extraordinary girl
    An extraordinary girl
    An extraordinary girl

    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 your 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 'till 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 'till 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"

    letra de The Death Of St. Jimmy

    My heart is beating from me
    I'm standing all alone
    Please call me only
    If you are coming home
    Waste a year it flies by
    Waste a night or two
    You taught me how to live
    In the streets of shame
    When you've lost your dreams in the rain
    There's no signs of hope
    The stems and seeds of the last of the dope
    There's a glow of light
    The Saint Jimmy is the spark in the night
    Bearing gifts and trust
    A fixture in the city of lust
    What the hells your name
    Whats your pleasure, what is your pain
    Do you dream too much?
    Do you think what you need is a crutch
    In the crowd of pain
    Saint Jimmy comes without any shame
    He says "We're fucked up but we're not the same"
    And mom and dad are the ones you can blame
    Jimmy died today
    He blew his brains out into the bay
    In the state of mind
    Is my own private suicide

    Does anyone care
    If nobody cares?
    And nobody cares
    And nobody cares
    Does anyone care
    If nobody cares?
    Jesus filling out paper work now
    At the facility on East 12th St.
    He's not listening to a word now
    He's in his own world and he's daydreaming
    He'd rather be doing something else now
    Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly
    His life's on the line with anxiety now
    And she had enough
    And he had plenty
    Somebody get me out of here
    Anybody get me out of here
    Somebody get me out of here
    Get me the fuck right out of here
    So far away
    I dont want to stay
    Get me outta here right now
    I just want to be free
    Is there a possibility?
    Get me out of here right now
    THIS LIFELIKE DREAM AINT FOR ME!

    I fell asleep
    While watching Spike tv
    After 10 cups of coffee
    And you're still not here
    Dreaming of a song
    But something went wrong
    And you can't tell anyone
    Cuz no one's here
    Left me here alone
    When I should have stayed home
    After 10 cups of coffee
    I'm thinking
    Where'd you go?
    Nobody likes you
    Everyone left you (where'd you go?)
    They're all out without you
    Having fun (where'd you go?)
    Everyone left you
    Nobody likes you (where'd you go?)
    They're all out without you
    Having fun
    Where'd you go?
