[I. Mass Hysteria]

Intro

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

Chorus

hysteria

Mass hysteria

Mass hysteria

Mass hysteria

Verse 1

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

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 2

True sounds of maniacal laughter

And the deaf-mute is misleading the choir

The punchline 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"

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

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 you

Calling Christian and Gloria

[II. Modern World]

Intro

Chorus

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 1

Mike Dirnt the bassist sings here instead of Billie

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

(Repeat Chorus)

Post Chorus:

I nation

Without bureaucratic ties

Deny the allegation as

it's written a fucking lies

Guitar solo

Verse 2

Mike sings again

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

Verse 3

Still Mike Dirnt

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

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro

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

(Repeat)
