The Top Ten

1 It says home is where your heart is, But what a shame, Cause everyones heart doesn't beat the same - Jesus of Suburbia

Green Day have so many inspirational and meaningful lyrics, especially in Jesus of Suburbia, but this is undoubtedly the best line from a Green Day song ever.

All of Green Day's songs have this "do what you want and don't let other people's opinions affect you" vibe and I love it! I feel like it's telling us that it's okay to be different and want something different from life than the people around us.

This is my all time favorite, who didn't cheer when they heard this. - garretthernandez

Hard hitting

2 It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right, I hope you had the time of your life - Good Riddance (Time of your life)

People don't like this song because it's overplayed and that is true but it's still a great song and the lyrics are beautiful

Most beautiful song ever

3 Oh therapy, can you please fill the void, am I retarded or am i just overjoyed - Jesus of Suburbia

The best - wriddhak

4 Like my father's come to pass, 20 years has gone so fast - Wake me up When September Ends

Makes me cry

Such an emotional song, with such a beautiful meaning. - georgielikesgreenday

5 I've been waiting a long time for this moment to come, I'm destined for anything at all - Waiting
6 When its time to live and let die, and you can't get another try, something inside this heart has died, your'e in ruins - 21 guns
7 Nobody likes you, everyone left you, they're all out without you, having fun - Letterbomb/Homecoming

To all my haters

FAVORITE. PART. OF. THE. SONG

8 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 insane - Jesus of Suburbia.

Insane and insecure-it is

I was about to make the same comment!

9 Here they come marching down the street, like a desperation murmur of a heart beat, coming back from the edge of town, underneath their feet - Homecoming
10 Summer has come and past, the innocent can never last - Wake Me Up When September Ends

The Contenders

11 Im sick to death of your every last breath and i don't give a f*** anyway - Let Yourself Go

I just love this line... In fact this whole song is so good that I can't stop myself listening to it...! Every nomination of this list is too good that I'm gonna vote each nomination.. Billie and co., every time I listen to your music it just rocks my world... I forget my every tension... I listen to them in every situation I'm in... Whether I'm in pleasant situation or whatever... Green day is my life... Blood in my veins and Billie is love of my life... Hell yeah Green day forever

12 Jimmy died today, he blew is brains out into the bay - Homecoming
13 Hold him underwater till the motherf***** drowns - Kill the DJ
14 I made a point to burn all of the photographs, she went away and then I took a different path, I remember the face but I can't recall the name, now I wonder how Whatsername has been... - Whatsername

Great lyrics in this song my favorite one is “remember whatever it seems like forever ago... and in the darkest night if my memory serves me right I’ll never turn back time forgetting you but not the time”

M8 I'm cryin

15 Here comes the rain again, falling from the stars, drenched in my pain again becoming who we are. - Wake Me Up When September Ends

These are the rawest lyrics I have heard for Green Day

16 With money to burn on a minimum wage, well, i don't give a s*** about the modern age - American Eulogy (Mass Hysteria, Modern World)

This is an extremely powerful line. This line brings back one of the biggest themes in American Idiot. The way our world is depending on technological advances and that we just need to be able to live how we want to. How society is now is we all are basically forced to adapt to the modern world. This line is one of the many in American Eulogy that really gives the biggest explanation about nearly the entire album of 21st Century Breakdown.

17 As My Memory Rests, But Never Forgets What I Lost Wake Me Up When September Ends - Wake Me Up When September Ends

I love this quote it has such a powerful meaning for the thoughts of the past!

I love dis line

18 D**khead, f**kface, c**ksmoking, motherf**king, a**hole, dirty t**t, waste of semen, hope you die - Platypus (I Hate You)

Cussing rants are always the best. Especially when you only got one minute. - DJDenve8

Beautiful. Billie Joe kind of paints a Van Gogh wih words. 11/10

19 Sing Us a Song of the Century, It Sings Like American Eulogy, the Dawn of My Love and Conspiracy, Forgotten Hope and the Class of '13 - American Eulogy
20 Did you try to live on your own? When you burned down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire? Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

This line is the best ever line billie ever wrote..! Whenever I'm disturbed, this line in fact this song makes me feel like there is someone around me, that cares for me,... Yeah this is quiet stupid... But Green day has helped me recover from all the drama of life... They are everything to me..!

21 Information age of hysteria, It's going out to idiot America - American Idiot
22 My shadow's the only thing that walks beside me - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

This line touced my deepest heart

23 I must insist on being a pessimist I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind - Armatage Shanks
24 I Don't Feel Any Shame, I Won't Apologize - Jesus of Suburbia
25 Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you? Are you feeling like a social tool without a use? Scream at me until my ears bleed I'm taking heed just for you - She

This song is way underrated probably because it wasn't a single, but seriously it's one of the best!

26 I'm the Son of Rage and Love, the Jesus of Suburbia - Jesus of Suburbia

Such a meaningful line from Billie Joe

27 Do you have the time, to listen to me whine, about nothing and everything all at once - Basket Case
28 Dear Mother, can you hear me laughing? It's been 6 whole months since that I have left your home. - Welcome to Paradise

This line is fantastic because it shows the contrast between how Billie was feeling as soon as he left home and how he's feeling after he's been away for a while.

30 I walk this empty street. On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams When the city sleeps. And I'm the only one and I walk alone. - Boulevard of Broken Dreams

33 One light, one mind flashing in the dark. Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts, for crying out loud she screamed onto me a free for all, F*** 'em all, you are at your own sight - Minority
34 You fell in love but then you just fell apart - X-Kid
35 It's not over 'till you're underground. It's not over before it's too late. - Letterbomb
36 Words get trapped in my mind, sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do - When It's Time
37 City of the Damned. Lost Children With Dirty Faces Today. No One Really Seems to Care.

So sad, yet so true.

38 Remember, Whatever. It Seems Like Forever Ago - Whatsername
