Green Day Strange Days Are Here To Stay Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We stumble down the avenue
Like fairy dust, and ballyhoo
They promised us forever
But we got less
There's no such thing as promises
Just secret codes from alphabets
They promised us forever
But we got less

[Pre-Chorus]
These are the best of times
Twisted and borrowed times
These are the loneliest of times
[Chorus]
Strange days are here to stay
Ever since Bowie died
It hasn't been the same
All the madmen going mental
Grandma's on the fentanyl now
Strange days are here to stay

[Verse 2]
This is how the world will end
When superheroes play pretend
They promised us forever
But we got less
It's the return of the blob
And Jesus gonna quit his job
He promised us forever
But we got less

[Pre-Chorus]
These are the best of times Twisted and borrowed times
These are the loneliest of times

[Chorus]
Strange days are here to stay
Everyone is racist
And the Uber's running late
I just lost my sense of humor
Gen-Z killing, baby boomer now
Strange days are here to stay
[Post-Chorus]
Lonely boy
With a heart made of hate
Baby Babylon
And making guns made out of clay

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Are we in hell?
Or is this just a fantasy?
I can't see this ending well
Now that it's too late

[Chorus]
Strange days are here to stay
Ever since Bowie died
It hasn't been the same
All the madmen going mental
Grandma's on the fentanyl now
Strange days are here to stay

[Outro]
Strange days are here to stay
Strange days are here to stay
