The best Quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong

A punk concert isn't fun without a pit.

Moshing and broken glass just don't go together.

Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I'm impressed with the presence of none
I'm possessed from the heat of the sun
Hurry up 'cause I'm making a fuss
Fingers up 'cause there's no one to trust

Kick the dog when the whistle blows
Well, you’re a liar
Feed the creeps with a stick and bone
You’re a liar

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

It says 'home is where your heart is,' but what a shame
Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same

I'm the son of rage and love
The Jesus of Suburbia
From the bible of 'none of the above'
On a steady diet of
Soda pop and Ritalin

Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind f*ck America

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

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

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, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
