A look back to the band member’s early days, when they were wild and young. The fifth track on Revolution Radio follows the band’s early song “Christie Road”; a nostalgic call to mind of the days Billie used to spend with his friends and what they used to do to pass the time.
An outlaw is a person...
Outlaws Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Life after youth
Faded in twilight
The dawn of a criminal in bloom
First love, first forgiveness
We were delinquents
Freaks of a fading memory
[Chorus]
Outlaws, when we were forever young
When we were outlaws
We're outlaws of redemption, baby
Hooligans, we destroyed suburbia
When we were outlaws
We're outlaws of forever
[Verse 2]
Scars, broken hearts
Breakin' in cars
Running in the light of the moon
Lost souls, bottle rockets
All that we wanted
It's for our life beyond the stars
[Chorus]
Outlaws, when we were forever young

Hooligans, we destroyed suburbia
When we were outlaws
We're outlaws of forever, baby
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I've got no supervision
Nothin' will change my spirit's place to roam
I'll plead my innocence, I'll plead my innocence
But that's my best defense when you are young
[Chorus]
Outlaws, when we were forever young
When we were outlaws
We're outlaws of redemption, baby
Hooligans, we destroyed suburbia
When we were outlaws
We're outlaws of forever
[Outro]
I found a knife by the railroad track
You took a train, and you can't go back
Forever now, forever now, you'll roam

What did Green Day say about "Outlaws"?
A swelling, wistful tune that looks back at the trio’s teenage punk days, “when we were outlaws/when we were forever young.” “I was feeling nostalgic,” says Armstrong, “thinking about when me and Mike would break into cars and steal tapes and lighters and shit like that.” The band sees it as a seque...
