Lyrics of
Caia Fogo

Holiday by Green Day criticizes American politics and the George W. Bush administration during the Iraq War. It is part of the American Idiot album, envisioned as a punk opera that narrates the disillusionment and search for identity of a generation.

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey)
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey)
And bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On Holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey)
To find, the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen? (Amen)
There's a flag wrapped
Around a score of men (Hey)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On Holiday
The representative from California has the floor
Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, Just cause, because we're outlaws!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on Holiday
