Track 8 from Insomniac
Released 1995
Green Day has played this song live 1 time.
The sounds of aggravation, panic, paranoia and worry pour from this song the second it starts. It gets under your skin before the words even begin, a minute and half of music to get you into the mindset for the song; dark music to match dark words. The lyrics talks of a "sick machine/breeding a mass of shit" and the confusion he feels to go alongside of that.
Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self destruction
Widespread panic
Broken glass inside my head
Bleeding down these thoughts of
Anguish... mass confusion
The world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with... I don't care
There's a plague inside of me
Eating at my disposition
Nothing's left
Torn out of reality
Into a state of no opinion
Limp with hate
I wanna drop out (x4)
