Lyrics Before the Lobotomy [Reprise] - Green Day, Stark Sands

Before the Lobotomy [Reprise]

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
Of another place and time, where my family’s from
Singing, I can hear them singing
When the rain had washed away all these scattered dreams
Dying, everyone’s reminded
Hearts are washed in misery, drenched in gasoline
Laughter, there is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday now live in the underground…
Ooh, life before the lobotomy
Christian sang the eulogy
Sign my love a lost memory
From the end of the century
Well, it’s enough to make you sick
To cast a stone and throw a brick
But when the sky is falling down
It burned your dreams into the ground
Christian’s lesson’s what he’s been sold (Hey!)
We are normal and self-controlled (Hey!)
Remember to learn to forget (Hey!)
Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes
Well, I’m not stoned, I’m just fucked up
I got so high, I can’t stand up
Well, I’m not cursed 'cause I’ve been blessed
I’m not in love, 'cause I’m a mess
Like refugees, ooh, we’re lost like refugees, ooh
Like refugees, ooh, we’re lost like refugees, ooh
The brutality of reality
Is the freedom that keeps me from…
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
Of another place and time, where my family’s from
Singing, I can hear them singing
When the rain had washed away all these scattered dreams
Dying, everyone’s reminded
Hearts are washed in misery, drenched in gasoline
Laughter, there is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday now live in the underground…
