Billie has the courage to question everything. We have seen that before. But he feels a bit under educated for all this, to make a suggestion.
He questions the status quo, he curses, he brings it down he pisses all over it, but has no suggestions for how to make it better.
But he is somehow modest a...
Too Dumb to Die Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, oh, I love you
Oh, oh, I do
I got a sentimental illness for you
Please don't go away, oh yeah
[Verse 1]
I was a high school atom bomb
Goin' off on the weekends
Smokin' dope and mowin' lawns
And I hated all the new trends
[Pre-Chorus]
Me and my friends sang, "Woah-ooh-woah-oh-oh" (Woah-ooh-woah)
"Here's to the middle of the road
At least it's better than here"
[Chorus]
Lookin' for a cause
Well, all I got was Santa Claus
I'm hangin' on a dream that's too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high (Woo, way up high)
Too scared to dream
But too dumb to die
[Verse 2]
My daddy always was on strike
Goin' off with the teamsters
He said that everything'll be alright
"Not every Sunday can be Easter"
[Pre-Chorus]
The picket line screamed, "Woah-ooh-woah-oh-oh" (Woah-ooh-woah)
"Don't cross, don't cross the line because
You'll be a scab, not a martyr"
[Chorus]
Lookin' for a cause
Well, all I got was camouflage
I'm hangin' on a dream that's too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high (Woo, way up high)
Too scared to dream
But too dumb to...
[Interlude]
(Haha, hehe)
(Yeah) Hey
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Lookin' for a cause
Well, all I got was camouflage
I'm hangin' on a dream that's too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high (Woo, way up high)
Too scared to dream
But too dumb to die

What did Green Day say about "Too Dumb to Die"?
That one is more personal. It’s about growing up totally working class and not knowing what the future was going to be, and being sort of a dope-smoking kid. And then it’s also a reference to my father, who was in the teamsters and watching him go out to work in the picket line. I remember my father...
