In this fiery anthem, Green Day delves into themes of disillusionment and societal decay. The lyrics convey a sense of abandonment and frustration with the status quo, critiquing the loss of revolutionary spirit and the commodification of rebellion. The song portrays a character grappling with their insignificance in a world that has commercialized dissent, urging them to break free from apathy. Through vivid imagery, "Letterbomb" reflects on personal and collective responsibility in times of crisis, suggesting that change is urgent and necessary before it becomes too late. This track resonates as a call to action, encouraging listeners not to wait passively for transformation but to ignite it themselves.
Letterbomb
Lyrics
Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you
Having fun
Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly stacks up ten high
The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
Like a flunkie along for the ride
Where have all the riots gone?
As your city's motto gets pulverized
What's in love is now in debt
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse
The town bishop is an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist
Standing still when it's do or die
You better run for your fucking life
It's not over 'till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late
There's nothing left to analyze
Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
And where will we all go when it's too late?
And don't look back
You're not the Jesus of Suburbia
The St. Jimmy is a figment of
Your father's rage and your mother's love
Made me the idiot America
It's not over 'till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late
She said, I can't take this place
I'm leaving it behind
Well she said, I can't take this town
I'm leaving you tonight
