Minority

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority

I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dog
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority

Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know

One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all
F*** 'em all
You are your own sight

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority

--Green Day
just saw the most amazing show of my young life. Very patriotic. We are the minority now and we must rebel and fight the right. Green Day are militantly anti-Bush and encourage us to keep on keeping on and fight the good fight.

1. As my granny used to say
"Its a tough row to hoe." Being a minority I mean.

7. I am SO in love w/Green Day's cd! Went out and bought it
right after seeing the American Idiot video. I feel like it's our new anthem (that and Eminem's mosh, lol).

I know that somewhere in the world, Green Day is pissed and I am too!

if you have to sell your first born child to see them, it's so worth it.

9. I was heartbroken when I found out they were in SoCal
just before the cd was released, playing the entire thing! I heard it was incredible!

The few times I've seen them play live on shows it's obvious their energy is massive. I'll be monitoring the Calendar and Weeklies for future concert possibilities to see them!
:)
