Green Day – Carpe Diem lyrics
[Verse 1]
Breaking in a sweat like a bomb threat
Is your silhouette, fading out?
Nothing left to lose, detonate the fuse
Another breaking news blowout
Ain't it beautiful, so unusual
Life's a gas and it's running out
Living a cliche, gonna seize the day
Bottle rockets that celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
[Chorus]
Carpe Diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask for reason
And no reply
Are we all too young to die?
[Break-down]
Making a living
Making a killing
What's worth forgiving?
All right
[Verse 2]
A blink of an eye, barely scraping by
Dominated by Passer-by's
Feeling out of luck, when the traffic's stuck
And you're feeling, so left behind
Getting off a binge, get a second wind
Another promise, then make a change
Got a broken wing, hear the angels sing
When the signal is out of range
Ain't it strange, ain't it Strange
[Chorus]
Carpe Diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask for reason
And no reply
Are we all too young to die?
[Break-down]
Making a living
Making a killing
What's worth forgiving?
All right
[Guitar Solo]
Making a living
Making a killing
What's worth forgiving?
All right
Right!
[Chorus]
Carpe Diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask for reason
And no reply
Are we all too young to die?
Carpe Diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask for reason
And no reply
Are we all too young to die?
Breaking in a sweat like a bomb threat
Is your silhouette, fading out?
Nothing left to lose, detonate the fuse
Another breaking news blowout
Ain't it beautiful, so unusual
Life's a gas and it's running out
Living a cliche, gonna seize the day
Bottle rockets that celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
[Chorus]
Carpe Diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask for reason
And no reply
Are we all too young to die?
[Break-down]
Making a living
Making a killing
What's worth forgiving?
All right
[Verse 2]
A blink of an eye, barely scraping by
Dominated by Passer-by's
Feeling out of luck, when the traffic's stuck
And you're feeling, so left behind
Getting off a binge, get a second wind
Another promise, then make a change
Got a broken wing, hear the angels sing
When the signal is out of range
Ain't it strange, ain't it Strange
[Chorus]
Carpe Diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask for reason
And no reply
Are we all too young to die?
[Break-down]
Making a living
Making a killing
What's worth forgiving?
All right
[Guitar Solo]
Making a living
Making a killing
What's worth forgiving?
All right
Right!
[Chorus]
Carpe Diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask for reason
And no reply
Are we all too young to die?
Carpe Diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask for reason
And no reply
Are we all too young to die?
