Green Day - American Eulogy (Mass Hysteria/Modern World) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Sing us the song of the century
It 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}​​

[Hook 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria

[Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]
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's asphyxiating
Mass confusion is all the new rage
And it's creating a feeding ground
For the bottom feeders of hysteria

[Hook 1]

[Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong]
True sounds of maniacal laughter
And the deaf-mute's 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"

[Hook 1]

[Bridge 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]
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
America is falling
Vigilantes warning ya
Calling Christian and Gloria!

{​​Modern World}​​

[Hook 2]
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

[Verse 3: Mike Dirnt]
Well, 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
Well

[Hook 2]

[Bridge 2: Billie Joe Armstrong]
I am a nation
Without bureaucratic ties
Deny the allegation as it's written
Fucking lies

[Verse 4: Mike Dirnt]
Well, I want to take a ride to the great divide
Beyond the "up to date" and the 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 is falling apart
With money to burn on a minimum wage
Well, I don't give a shit about the modern age

Yeah!

[Hook 2]
