Are We the Waiting / St. Jimmy

[Part I: Are We the Waiting]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Starry nights, city lights comin' down over me

Skyscrapers, stargazers in my head

Are we? We are

Are we? We are the waiting unknown

This dirty town is burnin' down in my dreams

Lost and found, city-bound in my dreams

[Chorus]

And screamin'

Are we? We are

Are we? We are the waiting

And screamin'

Are we? We are

Are we? We are the waiting

[Verse 2]

Forget-me-nots, second thoughts live in isolation

Heads or tails, fairy tales in my mind

Are we? We are

Are we? We are the waiting unknown

The rage and love, story of my life

The Jesus of Suburbia is a lie

[Chorus]

And screamin'

Are we? We are

Are we? We are the waiting

And screamin'

Are we? We are

Are we? We are the waiting unknown

Are we? We are

Are we? We are the waiting

And screamin'

Are we? We are

Are we? We are the waiting unknown

Are we? We are

Are we? We are the waiting unknown

[Part II: St. Jimmy]

[Intro: Billie Joe Armstrong & Tre Cool]

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

Comin' at you on the count of one, two

(One, two, three, four)

[Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]

My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out

Suicide commando that your mama talked about

King of the Forty Thieves and I'm here to represent

The needle in the vein of the establishment

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong, Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]

I'm the patron saint of the denial

With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

[Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong]

Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope

I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allan Poe

Raised in the city in the halo of lights

Product of war and fear that we've been victimized

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong, Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]

I'm the patron saint of the denial

With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

[Bridge: Billie Joe Armstrong]

Are you talkin' to me?

I'll give you somethin' to cry about

Shh

Shh

Shh

St. Jimmy

[Breakdown: Billie Joe Armstrong]

My name is St. Jimmy, I'm a son of a gun

I'm the one that's from the way outside now (St. Jimmy)

A teenage assassin executing some fun

In the cult of the life of crime now (St. Jimmy)

I really hate to say it, but I told you so

So shut your mouth before I shoot you down, ol' boy (St. Jimmy)

Welcome to the club and give me some blood

I'm the resident leader of the lost and found (St. Jimmy)

[Outro: Billie Joe Armstrong]

It's comedy and tragedy

It's St. Jimmy and that's my name

And don't wear it out
