专辑介绍：

21st Century Breakdown是美国流行庞克乐队Green Day的第八张录音专辑，于二零零九年五月十五日全球发行。

Green Day于二零零六年开始构思21st Century Breakdown。专辑主题主要围绕宗教、战争、爱及社会问题，而反战主题将会减少，整张专辑共有十六首歌曲更会被分为三部分"Heroes and Cons," "Charlatans & Saints"以及"Horseshoes & Hand grenades."专辑音乐风格加入一些经典的摇滚。专辑的封面是一对派对上的男女在亲吻。这次更遍向强力流行乐。

21st Century Breakdown is Green Day's eighth studio album.It is Green Day's first album to be produced by renowned producer

and Garbage member Butch Vig, who has produced albums such as Nevermind by Nirvana and Siamese Dream by The Smashing

Pumpkins.

This album follows 2004's critically acclaimed American Idiot. Billie Joe Armstrong has stated that "21st Century Breakdown is a

snapshot of the era in which we live as we question and try to make sense of the selfish manipulation going on around us, whether it be the government, religion, media or frankly any form of authority." This is the longest gap between studio releases for Green Day, as their last album was released in September 2004. Green Day had been working on this album since 2006, but the band showed no signs of a new album until a video of the band recording in studio was posted on YouTube in October 2008.

歌词

【ACT I ：Heroes and Cons】

1.[Song of the Century]

Sing us a song of the century

That's louder than bombs

And eternity

The era of static and contraband

That's leading us to the promised land

Tell us a story that's by candlelight

Waging a war and losing the fight

They're playing the song of the century

Of panic and promise and prosperity

Tell me a story into that goodnight

Sing us a song for me

--

2.[21st Century Breakdown]

Born into Nixon I was raised in hell

A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled

The last one born, the first one to run

My town was blind from refinery sun

My generation is zero

I never made it as a working class hero

21st Century Breakdown

I once was lost but never was found

I think I am losing what's left of my mind

To the 20th Century Deadline

I was made of poison and blood

Condemnation is what I understood

Videogames to the tower's fall

Homeland Security could kill us all

My generation is zero

I never made it as a working class hero

21st Century Breakdown

I once was lost but never was found

I think I am losing what's left of my mind

To the 20th Century Deadline

We are the class of 13

Born in the era of humility

We are the desperate in the decline

Raised by the Bastards of 1969

My name is no one

The long lost son

Born of the 4th of July

Raised in an era of heroes and cons

That left me for dead or alive

I am a nation

A worker of pride

My debt to the status quo

The scars on my hands

And the means to an end

Is all that I have to show

I swallowed my pride

And I choked on my faith

I've given my heart and my soul

I've broken my fingers

And lied through my teeth

The pillar of damage control

I've been to the edge

And I've thrown the bouquet

Of flowers left over the grave

I sat in the waiting room

Wasting my time

And waiting for judgement day

I praise Liberty

The "Freedom to Obey"

Is the song that strangles me

Don't cross the line

Dream, America dream,

I can't even sleep

From the lights early dawn

Scream, America scream

Believe what you see from heroes and cons?

--

3.[Know Your Enemy]

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well, gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well, gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well, gotta know the enemy

Violence is an energy

Against the enemy

Violence is an energy

Bringing on the fury

The choir infantry

Revolt against the honor to obey

Overthrow the effigy

The vast majority

Burning down the foreman of control

Silence is the enemy

Against your urgency

So rally up the demons of your soul

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well gotta know the enemy

The insurgency will rise

When the bloods been sacrificed

Don't be blinded by the lies

In your eyes.

Violence is an energy

From here to eternity

Violence is an energy

Silence is the enemy

So gimme gimme revolution

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?

Do you know your enemy?

Well gotta know the enemy

Overthrow the effigy

The vast majority

Burning down the foreman of control

Silence is the enemy

Against your urgency

So rally up the demons of your soul

--

4.[Viva la Gloria!]

Hey Gloria

Are you standing close to the edge?

Lookout to the setting sun

The brink of your vision

Eternal youth is

A landscape of the lie

The cracks of my skin can prove

As the years will testify

Say your prayers and light a fire

We're going to start a war

Your slogans a gun for hire

It's what we waited for

Hey Gloria,

This is why we're on the edge

The fight of our lives been drawn to

This undying love.

Gloria, Viva La Gloria

You blast your name

In graffiti on the walls

Falling through broken glass that's

Slashing through your spirit

I can hear it like a jilted crowd

Gloria, where are you Gloria

You found a home

In all your scars and ammunition

You made your bed in salad days

Amongst the ruin

Ashes to ashes of our youth

She smashed her knuckles into winter

As autumns wind fades into black

She is the saint on all the sinners

The one that's fallen through the cracks

So don't put away your burning light

Gloria, where are you Gloria

Don't lose your faith

To your lost naivete

Weather the storm and don't look

Back on last November

When your banners were burning down

Gloria, viva la Gloria

Send me your amnesty down

To the broken hearted

Bring us the season

That we always will remember

Don't let the bonfires go out

So Gloria,

Send out your message of the light

That shadows in the night.

Gloria, where's your undying love?

Tell me the story of your life.

--

5.[Before the Lobotomy]

Dreaming

I am 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

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

When the sky is falling down

It burned your dreams into the ground

Christian's lesson is what he's been sold

We are normal and self-controlled

Remember to learn to forget

Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes

Well I'm not stoned

I'm just fucked up

I got so high I can't stand up

I'm not cursed cause I've been blessed

I'm not in love cause I'm a mess

Like refugees

We're lost like refugees

Like refugees

We're lost like refugees

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

--

6.[Christian's Inferno]

I got under the grip

Between the modern hell

I got the rejection letter in the mail and

It was already ripped to shreds.

Seasons in a ruin and

This bitter pill is chased with blood.

There's fire in my veins

And it's pouring out like a flood

Whoa, Christian's inferno

Whoa, Christian's inferno

Whoa, Christian's inferno

Whoa, Christian's inferno

This diabolic state is gracing my existence

Like a catasrophic baby

Maybe you're the chemical reaction

I am the atom bomb

I am the chosen one

Toxin your reservoir

And then return man to ape

Whoa, Christian's inferno

Whoa, Christian's inferno

Whoa, Christian's inferno

Whoa, Christian's inferno

--

7.[Last Night on Earth]

I text a postcard, sent to you

Did it go through?

Sending all my love to you.

You are the moonlight of my life every night

Giving all my love to you

My beating heart belongs to you

I walked for miles til I found you

I'm here to honor you

If I lose everything in the fire

I'm sending all my love to you.

With every breath that I am worth

Here on earth

I'm sending all my love to you.

So if you dare to second guess

you can rest assured

That all my love's for you

My beating heart belongs to you

I walked for miles til I found you

I'm here to honor you

If I lose everything in the fire

I'm sending all my love to you.

My beating heart belongs to you

I walked for miles til I found you

I'm here to honor you

If I lose everything in the fire

Did I ever make it through?

【ACT II ：Charlatans and Saints】

8.[East Jesus Nowhere]

Raise your hands now to testify

Your confession will be crucified

You're a sacrificial suicide

Like a dog that's been sodomized

Stand up! - All the white boys

Sit down! - All the black girls

You're the soldiers of the new world

Put your faith in a miracle

And it's non-denominational

Join the choir we will be singing

In the church of wishful thinking

A fire burns today

Of blasphemy and genocide

The sirens of decay

Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Oh bless me lord for I have sinned

It's been a lifetime since I last confessed

I threw my crutches in "The river

Of a shadow of doubt"

And I'll be dressed in my Sunday best

Say a prayer for the family

Drop a coin for humanity

Ain't this uniform so flattering?

I never asked you a God damned thing

A fire burns today

Of blasphemy and genocide

The sirens of decay

Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Don't test me

Second guess me

Protest me

You will disappear

I want to know who's allowed to breed

All the dogs who never learned to read

Missionary politicians

And the cops of a new religion

A fire burns today

Of blasphemy and genocide

The sirens of decay

Will infiltrate the inside

--

9.[Peacemaker]

Well, I've got a fever

A non-believer

I'm in a state of grace

For I am the Caesar

I'm gonna seize the day

Well, call of the banshee hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey

As God as my witness

The infidels are gonna pay

Well, call the assassin

The orgasm

A spasm of love and hate

For what will divide us?

The righteous and the meek

Well, call of the wild hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey

Death to the girl at the end of the serenade

Vendetta, sweet vendetta

This Beretta of the night

This fire and the desire

Shots ringing out on a holy parasite

I am a killjoy from Detroit

I drink from a well of rage

I feed off the weakness with all my love

Call up the captain hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey

Death to the lover that you were dreaming of

This is a stand off

A Molotov cocktail

On the house

You thought I was a write off

You better think again

Call the peacemaker hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey

I'm gonna send you back to the place where it all began

Vendetta, sweet vendetta

This Beretta of the night

This fire and the desire

Shots ringing out on a holy parasite

Well now the caretaker's the undertaker

Now I'm gonna go out and get the peacemaker

This is the neo St. Valentines Massacre

Well call up the Gaza hey hey

hey hey hey hey hey

Death to the ones at the end of the serenade

Well, death to the ones at the end of the serenade

Well, death to the ones at the end of the serenade

Well, death to the ones at the end of the serenade

10.[Last of the American Girls]

She puts her makeup on

Like graffiti on the walls of the heartland

She's got her little book of conspiracies

Right in her hand

She is paranoid like

Endangered species headed into extinction

She is one of a kind

She's the last of the American girls

She wears her overcoat

For the coming of the nuclear winter

She is riding her bike

Like a fugitive of critical mass

She's on a hunger strike

For the ones who won't make it for dinner

She makes enough to survive

For a holiday of working class

She's a runaway of the establishment incorporated.

She won't cooperate

She's the last of the American girls

She plays her vinyl records

Singing songs on the eve of destruction

She's a sucker for

All the criminals breaking the laws

She will come in first

For the end of western civilization

She's an endless war

Like a hero for the lost cause

Like a hurricane

In the heart of the devastation

She's a natural disaster

She's the last of the American girls

She puts her makeup on

Like graffiti on the walls of the heartland

She's got her little book of conspiracies

Right in her hand

She will come in first

For the end of western civilization

She's a natural disaster

She's the last of the American girls

11.[Murder City]

Desperate

But not hopeless

I feel so useless

In the murder city

Desperate

But not helpless

The clock strikes midnight

In the murder city

I'm wide awake

After the riot

This demonstration

Of our anguish

This empty laughter

Has no reason

Like a bottle

Of your favorite poison

We are the last call

And we're so pathetic

Christian's crying

In the bathroom

And I just want to

Bum a cigarette

We've come so far,

We've been so wasted

It's written

All over our faces

--

12.[Little Girl]

Little girl, little girl

Why are you crying?

Inside your restless soul your heart is dying.

Little one, little one

Your soul is purging

Of love and razor blades

Your blood is surging

Runaway

From the river to the street

And find yourself with your face in the gutter

Your a stray for the salvation army

There is no place like home

When you got no place to go

Little girl, little girl

Your life is calling

The charlatans and saints of your abandon

Little one little one

The sky is falling

The lifeboat of deception is now sailing

In the wake all the way

No rhyme or reason

Your bloodshot eyes

Will show your heart of treason

Little girl little girl

You dirty liar

You're just a junkie

Preaching to the choir

Runaway

To your lost tranquility

And find yourself with your face in the gutter

You're a stray for the dregs of humanity

There is no place like home

When you got no place to go

The traces of blood

Always follow you home

Like the mascara tears

From your getaway

Your walking with blisters

and running with shears

So unholy.

Sister of grace.

Runaway

From the river to the street

And find yourself with your face in the gutter

You're a stray for the salvation army

There is no place like home

When you got no place to go

--

13.[Restless Heart Syndrome]

I've got a really bad disease

It's got me begging

On my hands and knees

Take me to the emergency

'Cause something seems to be missing

Somebody take the pain away

It's like an ulcer bleeding in my brain

Send me to the pharmacy

So I can lose my memory

I'm elated

Medicated

Lord knows I tried to find a way to run away.

I think they found another cure

For broken hearts and feeling insecure

You'd be surprised what I endure

What make you feel so self-assured?

I need to find a place to hide

You never know what could be

Waiting outside

The accidents that you could find

It's like some kind of suicide

So what ails you is what impales you

I feel like I've been crucified to be satisfied

I'm a victim of my symptom

I am my own worst enemy

You're a victim of your symptom

You are your own worst enemy

Know your enemy

I'm elated

Medicated

I am my own worst enemy

So what ails you is what impales you

You are your own worst enemy

You're a victim of the system

You are your own worst enemy

You're a victim of the system

You are your own worst enemy

【ACT III：Horseshoes and Handgrenades】

14.[Horseshoes and Handgrenades]

I'm not fucking around

I think I'm coming out

All the deceivers and cheaters

I've think we've got a bleeder right now

Want you to slap me around

Want you to knock me out

Well, you missed me kissed me

Now you better kick me down

Maybe you're the runner up

But the first one to lose the race

Almost only really counts in

Horseshoes and hand grenades

I'm gonna burn it all down

I'm gonna rip it out

Well, everything that you employ

Was meant for me to destroy

To the ground now

So don't you fuck me around

Because I'll shoot you down

I'm gonna drink, fight and fuck

And pushing my luck

All the time now

Maybe you're the runner up

But the first one to lose the race

Almost only really counts in

Horseshoes and hand grenades

Demolition, self-destruction

What to annihilate

The age-old contradiction

Demolition, self-destruction

What to annihilate

The old age

I'm not fucking around

I think I'm coming out

All the deceivers and cheaters

I've think we've got a bleeder right now

I'm not fucking around

G-L-O-R-I-A

15.[he Static Age]

Can you hear the sound of the static noise?

Blasting out in stereo

Cater to the class and the paranoid

Music to my nervous system

Advertising love and religion

Murder on the airwaves

Slogans on the brink of corruption

Vision of blasphemy, war and peace

Screaming at you

I can't see a thing in the video

I can't hear a sound on the radio

In stereo in the static age

Billboard on the rise in the dawn's landscape

Working your insanity

Tragic a'la madness and concrete

Coca Cola execution

Conscience on a cross and

You're hearts in a vice

Squeezing out your state of mind

Are what you own that you cannot buy?

What a fucking tragedy, strategy

Screaming at you.

I can't see a thing in the video

I can't hear a sound on the radio

In stereo in the static age

I can't see a thing in the video

I can't hear a sound on the radio

In stereo in the static age

Hey hey it's the static age

This is how the west was won

Hey hey it's the static age millennium

All I want to know

Is a God-damned thing

Not what's in the medicine

All I want to do is

I want to breathe

Batteries are not included

What's the latest way that a man can die

Screaming hallelujah?

Singing out "The dawn's early light"

The silence of the rotten, forgotten

Screaming at you.

I can't see a thing in the video

I can't hear a sound on the radio

In stereo in the static age

I can't see a thing in the video

I can't hear a sound on the radio

In stereo in the static age

I can't see a thing in the video

I can't hear a sound on the radio

In stereo in the static age

I can't see a thing in the video

I can't hear a sound on the radio

In stereo in the static age

The static age

16.[21 Guns]

Do you know what's worth fighting for,

When it's not worth dying for?

Does it take your breath away

And you feel yourself suffocating?

Does the pain weigh out the pride?

And you look for a place to hide?

Did someone break your heart inside?

You're in ruins

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky,

You and I

When you're at the end of the road

And you lost all sense of control

And your thoughts have taken their toll

When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul

Your faith walks on broken glass

And the hangover doesn't pass

Nothing's ever built to last

You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky,

You and I

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

When it's time to live and let die

And you can't get another try

Something inside this heart has died

You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky,

You and I

17.[American Eulogy]

(Part I :Mass HysteriaMass Hysteria)

Sing us the song of the century

That sings like American eulogy

The dawn of my love and conspiracy

Of forgotten hope and the class of 13

Tell me a story into that goodnight

Sing us a song for me

Mass Hysteria

Mass Hysteria

Mass Hysteria

Mass Hysteria

Red alert is the color of panic

Elevated to the point of static

Beating into the hearts of the fanatics

And the neighborhood's a loaded gun

Idle thought leads to full-throttle screaming

And the welfare is asphyxiating

Mass confusion is all the new rage

And it's creating a feeding ground

For the bottom feeders of hysteria

Mass Hysteria

Mass Hysteria

Mass Hysteria

Mass Hysteria

True sounds of maniacal laughter

And the deaf-mute is misleading the choir

The punch line is a natural disaster

And it's sung by the unemployed

Fight fire with a riot

The class war is hanging on a wire

Because the martyr is a compulsive liar

When he said

"It's just a bunch of niggers throwing gas into the hysteria"

Mass Hysteria

Mass Hysteria

Mass Hysteria

Mass Hysteria

There's a disturbance on the oceanside

They tapped into the reserve

The static response is so unclear now

Mayday this is not a test!

As the neighborhood burns, American is falling

Vigilantes warning you

Calling Christian and Gloria

(Part II :Modern World)

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I'm the class of 13

In the era of dissent

A hostage of the soul

On a strike to pay the rent

The last of the rebels

Without a common ground

I'm gonna light a fire

Into the underground

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I am a nation

Without bureaucratic ties

Deny the allegation as it's written

I want to take a ride to the great divide

Beyond the "up to date"

And then neo-gentrified

The high definition for the low resident

Where the value of your mind

Is not held in contempt

I can hear the sound of

A beating heart

That bleeds beyond a system

That's falling apart

With money to burn

On a minimum wage

'Cause I don't give a shit

About the modern age

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

I don't want to live in the modern world

Mass Hysteria

I don't want to live in the modern world

Mass Hysteria

I don't want to live in the modern world

Mass Hysteria

I don't want to live in the modern world

Mass Hysteria

18.[See the Light]

I crossed the river

Fell into the sea

Where the non-believers

Go beyond belief

Then I scratched the surface

In the mouth of hell

Running out of service

In the blood I fell

I just want to see the light

i don't want to lose my sight

I just want to see the light

I need to know what's worth the fight

I've been wasted

Pills and alcohol

I've been chasing

Down the pool halls

Then I drank the water

From a hurricane

And I set a fire

Just to see the flame

I just want to see the light

I don't want to lose my sight

I just want to see the light

I need to know what's worth the fight

I crossed the desert

Reaching higher ground

Then I pound the pavement

To take the liars down

But it's gone forever

But never too late

Where the ever after

Is in the hands of fate

I just want to see the light

I don't want to lose my sight

I just want to see the light

I need to know what's worth the fight

21st C. B.乐评（未完版）

【ACT I HEROES AND CONS】

第一乐章翻译过来是“英雄与反对派”，我认为是在讲底层人民与上级的对抗，表达了乐队对社会的不满，以及21世纪的大崩溃~

01.Song Of The Century

这首歌也就是个前奏，其中电台音效让人以为是晚上且信号不好的情况下听收音机，不过好在声音没有太大变化。PUNK不老啊~

02.21st Century Breakdown

前奏很有代入感，一开始好像是在做克瑞斯坦（男主角）的自我介绍，不过他如果出生在60年代末的话，到现在都已经40了还是一个底层阶级的人，别的不说，最起码对我来说是个长辈，怎么也要尊重啊（笑）。第2乐段，节奏感还算强，听着就会想到21世纪以来的混乱，以及人们的荒唐行为。第3乐段，缓慢且无力的节奏加上主唱无力的歌声，象征着美国梦的破碎。

03.Know Your Enemy 这首歌是单曲之一，各位应该听过2、3遍，看过MV的都应该注意到主唱在监狱里面对天空竖中指的景象，或许这便是被囚禁在牢笼里心中充满对社会的愤怒想要发泄吧，想想我们不也是这样么？没错，我们不应该被蒙蔽视线，沉默是我们的大敌，革命吧，永恒就在这里！！！

04.!VIVA LA GLORIA! 前面的钢琴曲貌似是这张专辑的一大特色，表达了克瑞斯坦与格罗瑞亚这对恋人对岁月赞叹与对年轻时代的美好回忆，歌词里还提到了涂鸦，这就不由得让人联想起专辑的封面，就跟上一张专辑里面的“She Is A Rabel”一样。快节奏摇滚开始后克瑞斯坦表达出了对即将到来的战斗与革命的决心，后面的歌词提起格罗瑞亚要找回自己，不要回头看过去的11月，这里就明显了，女主人公格罗瑞亚就是美国的化身，呵呵，自由女神啊~末尾提出对美国的信心，等待光明的到来！

05.Before The Lobotomy 这首歌听着像是梦游一般，境界真是令人难以捉摸，听着很玄的调紧接着就是一阵重音，让人从梦中惊醒，然后遍开始会想21世纪以前美国的种种社会问题，比如说什么酗酒风啊，什么经济大萧条啊，再一次表达了对底层人民的同情（黑人？），这仿佛旨在提醒奥巴马也是一位黑人，也处在社会的底层。最后唱到克瑞斯坦“死”了，想必这是对下一首歌的妥协吧（请看下一首歌歌名），这便相当于上张专辑里面JOS离家出走。

06.Christian's Inferno 这首歌把社会形象的比喻为了地狱，歌词里面有提到原子弹，灾难中生还的婴儿，上帝选民和向蓄水库里投毒之类，就一个词好了，“荒诞”。

07.Last Night On Earth 非常抒情的一首歌，写克瑞斯坦在“革命”之路（大概是他又从地狱努力向人间走）奋战时对格罗瑞亚的回忆，以第二人称的亲切倾诉出了当初对她的无比爱恋之情，不远万里追求自己所爱，结尾处还问了句“我能通过考验吗？”真是……格罗瑞亚应该会给予肯定吧。

【ACT II CHARLATANS AND SAINTS】

第2乐章名字很难懂，不知各位有什么见解，直接翻译是“骗子和圣贤”，在我看来是对社会中虚伪人的讽刺和质疑，与对正直之人的赞颂吧。

08.East Jesus Nowhere 值得一提的还是开头那段不知道是美利坚哪位总统的超级自恋讲话，真是讽刺啊。一开始还是呼吁种族不要歧视，白人男孩和黑人女孩都是战士，让他们一起接受耶稣（说白了就是克瑞斯坦吧）的信仰教育，我猜大概这些孩子会“有所为”吧，但愿出发点是和平的。中间还是唱到了人性，说是一场大火残害生灵亵渎神明种种，现在人们的趋炎附势，腐败之风盛行，也该反思了，虚伪的人，不要掺进信仰者之内（主人公克瑞斯坦在英文里面的意思就是基督徒，怪不得）！临近最后的一段不禁令我想起小时候玩合金弹头时候骑骆驼的情景，让人也到中东（耶稣诞生之地）神游了一遍。

09.Peacemaker 还是在宗教圣地唱歌，这次更多提到了屠杀，唱起了罗马，艾萨辛（刺客），自然而然引起人们当今中东形式的反思，古代的，现代的，人性没有变，从出生到死都那么可笑可悲，死亡降临了，我们可怜生命的小夜曲也终止了。

10.Last Of The American Girls 核冬天？没错，这就是冷战带来的恶果（幸好没发生）。GREENDAY描绘的是核冬天真正来临时一个美国女孩（最后的）对自己生活的安排。她善良，为了流浪的人而示威。她乐观，在人类即将灭绝时候还在唱着歌，当然这极有可能是她“犯罪”并“入狱”。她还是“幸运的”，因为她会第一个抵达西方文明的终点。说实在的，这个女孩真的像是“骆驼祥子”，只不过是个没有堕落的而已。我们高度法治的社会，是啊，那么多的限制，可到最后还是变为了“人治”，为了统治阶级的利益，相信人性的最后一点良知被GREENDAY赋予给了这个女孩。

11.Murder City 屠杀，还是屠杀，十字军的东征，宗教，等等很乱的东西，信徒千里迢迢来到了这里，等来的却是遗弃。

12.Viva La Gloria (Little Girl) 格罗瑞亚在这里成了救世军的代言人，她哭泣着，奋力逃跑。人类此时遇到了疾病，在恐慌中逃跑，渺小的人类此时被疾病追得无路可逃，再一次体现了人类无力的一面，就连救世军也无能为力。

13.Restless Heart Syndrome 心乱综合症，任何一个突发意外就是生命的终结，当一个人在自己的心灵中逃避时，会不断的问自己“敌人在哪里，他有是谁呢，我在燃烧，让我了解他吧！”在一片迷雾中前行，永远不知到前面是什么。是啊，谁在这时候都需要庇护。

马蹄铁与手榴弹，难道是铸剑为犁的意思？抑或是自我毁灭
