    "Jesus Of Suburbia" Lyrics:[Part 1]
    I'm the son of rage and love
    The Jesus of Suburbia
    From the bible of none of the above
    On a steady diet of
    Soda pop and Ritalin
    No one ever died for my sins in hell
    As far as I can tell
    At least the ones I got away with
    And there's nothing wrong with me
    This is how I'm supposed to be
    In a land of make believe
    That don't believe in me
    Get my television fixed
    Sitting on my crucifix
    The living room or my private womb
    While the Moms and Brads are away
    To fall in love and fall in debt
    To alcohol and cigarettes and Mary Jane
    To keep me insane,
    Doing someone else's cocaine
    And there's nothing wrong with me
    This is how I'm supposed to be
    In a land of make believe
    That don't believe in me
    [Part 2: City Of The Damned]
    At the center of the Earth
    In the parking lot
    Of the 7-11 where I was taught
    The motto was just a lie
    It says home is where your heart is
    But what a shame
    Cause everyone's heart
    Doesn't beat the same
    It's beating out of time
    City of the dead
    At the end of another lost highway
    Signs misleading to nowhere
    City of the damned
    Lost children with dirty faces today
    No one really seems to care
    I read the graffiti
    In the bathroom stall
    Like the holy scriptures of the shopping mall
    And so it seemed to confess
    It didn't say much
    But it only confirmed that
    The center of the earth
    Is the end of the world
    And I could really care less
    City of the dead
    At the end of another lost highway
    Signs misleading to nowhere
    City of the damned
    Lost children with dirty faces today
    No one really seems to care
    [Part 3: I Don't Care]
    I don't care if you don't
    I don't care if you don't
    I don't care if you don't care
    [X4]
    I don't care
    Everyone is so full of shit
    Born and raised by hypocrites
    Hearts recycled but never saved
    From the cradle always to the grave
    We are the kids of war and peace
    From Anaheim to the middle east
    We are the stories and disciples
    Of the Jesus of suburbia
    Land of make believe
    And that don't believe in me
    Land of make believe
    And I don't believe
    And I don't care!
    I don't care! [x4]
    [Part 4: Dearly Beloved]
    Dearly beloved are you listening?
    I can't remember a word that you were saying
    Are we demented or am I disturbed?
    The space that's in between insane and insecure
    Oh, therapy, can you please fill the void?
    Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
    Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
    For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse
    [Part 5: Tales Of Another Broken Home]
    To live and not to breathe
    Is to die In tragedy
    To run, to run away
    To find what you believe
    And I leave behind
    This hurricane of fucking lies
    I lost my faith to this
    This town that don't exist
    So I run
    I run away
    To the light of masochist
    And I leave behind
    This hurricane of fucking lies
    And I walked this line
    A million and one fucking times
    But not this time
    I don't feel any shame
    I won't apologize
    When there ain't nowhere you can go
    Running away from pain
    When you've been victimized
    Tales from another broken home
    You're leaving...
    You're leaving...
    You're leaving...
    Ah you're leaving home...

      Man, that's really cool. I get caught up in certain songs when I'm feeling a particular way. Sometimes I feel like this song is ripping my guts out for all to see, and other times, it's Chevelle or Dark New Day doing the same thing. I seem to recognize what goes into a song, and reap all the benefits of what comes out of it, I really like it. I kind of do the same thing with people... If I can break you down and make you reflect... I did my job.

It's kind of like nostalgia when I watch this, but a more real nostalgia, where you remember the good, the bad and the horrific all with the same bittersweet smile.

      Please, remember that the situation you’re in right now is not permanent. You will leave that home life at some point, and though that is extremely scary. It’ll allow you the space and comfort to heal from all the crap you’ve gone through. Take it from me, someone whose family is the source of all their mental health problems: when you get out you’ll truly start your life. What I mean by that is you will basically be completely reborn when you don’t gave that negativity constantly weighing you down.
      You may not be alonein this but that doesn’t mean your situation is completely relatable to 99% of humans on Earth. I say that, because I feel it’s very important to remind you that you is all you truly have. You can only count on YOURSELF to change YOUR life in order to better YOURSELF. I emphasize that cause no one properly nailed it into my head.
      Don’t give up, don’t think that this is all there is, don’t let these scars ruin your life like I allowed my scars to. Trust me when I say this, the fact you’re still breathing is a testament to how badass you are. Remember that. Remember you are strong. Please, remember these things.
      Much love, i hope you are able to find peace and happiness soon. Stay strong and keep pushing, friend.

      Serdar BİÇER it’s in the third act of the song. Jimmy/Billie is saying how everyone’s homes are different and the typical mold of an American household is flawed. Not everyone wants or can live that type of life. Everyone loves something different.
      Coupled with the next verse, he’s saying how his home is different than the typical. A broken home and he wishes it could be better. A type of thankful resentment. Resentment because of what it turned him into and how nobody cares but thankful because its who he is.

    This song is a complete masterpiece. I was always a fan of Green Day, but the American Idiot album is truly one of the best albums ever made. "Home is where the heart is and what a shame because everyone's heart doesn't beat the same". Mannn. That lyric alone represents my entire teenage years and twenties. Always trying to find that one person who would make me complete. And the best part about Green Day is that they are phenomenal live. They sound exactly like the recorded version, they are seasoned musicians and it shows. I saw them on their American Idiot tour and I will never forget it. It was a little strange because I had been a fan since the Dookie album but most of the people at the concert were people who had just discovered them so when I lit up my joint, I got quite a few side looks lol. I kept thinking, do you know what concert you are at? But whatever, I still had one of the best nights of my life. Seen them three times total and every time they bring it. If you ever get the chance to see them live, take it, you won't regret it!!

      But if you listen to the whole album, it seems that Jimmy and JOS are two separate people, because in Give Me Novacane, he says "Jimmy says it's better than air", and in Homecoming, he says "Jimmy died today, blew his brains out into the rain", and in Saint Jimmy, he describes conversations he had with Jimmy, so unless he has multiple personality disprder, it couldn't be the story of Jimmy.

    Interesting Fact: Billie Joe Armstrong stated in an interview: "This song broke every rule people thought Green Day were supposed to be. Lyrically, it’s everything about my past, but at the same time, written on the outside as well. That song is like purging everything, throwing it out."
    He also added:
    " ‘Jesus of Suburbia’ took a long time. We were driving back, because we were in the studio up in Oakland, and the only thing I could think of was like, ‘holy s-t, I can’t believe we just made this thing,’ and there was this fear, like there’s no looking back now."
    Armstrong told MTV:
    "Right after I came up with [the phrase] ‘American Idiot,’ I came up with [the album’s protagonist], ‘Jesus of Suburbia, I felt like it crossed that line between church and state or politics and religion. I thought, 'How would I interpret the Bible even though I’ve never really read it?’ So, there’s no burning bush, but there’s burning towns and ethics."

    Released as the fifth and final single from the group's seventh studio album, "American Idiot," and the second song on the album. With the song running for 9 minutes and 8 seconds, it is Green Day's second longest song (with the band's longest song being fellow American Idiot song "Homecoming", which runs for 9 minutes and 18 seconds) and the group's longest song to be released as a single. The studio version of this song was considered to be unfriendly for radio, so it was cut down to 6½ minutes for the radio edit. The long version was still played on many album rock and alternative rock radio stations. At most live shows on the first leg of the group's 21st Century Breakdown World Tour, the band would pick a member from the audience to play guitar for the song. The single has sold 205,000 copies as of July 2010.
    American Idiot is a concept album that describes the story of a central character named Jesus of Suburbia, an anti-hero created by Billie Joe Armstrong. It is written from the perspective of a lower-middle-class suburban American teen, raised on a diet of "soda pop and Ritalin." Jesus hates his town and those close to him, so he leaves for The City.
    "Jesus of Suburbia" was the second multi-part song the group formed. Armstrong said it took "a long time" to write the song. Dirnt said that it came about from natural rehearsing between the trio. This song was an extension of Armstrong's desire to write the "Bohemian Rhapsody" of the future.
    As the song changes into different sections, Armstrong’s guitars were recorded differently. The musicians would "split the signal from the guitar and send it into an amp while simultaneously going direct with it," to achieve a sound reminiscent of "Revolution" by the Beatles or the style of David Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson. In addition, an overdrive pedal was employed to accentuate gain from the instrument, producing a "punchy" sound to each chord. For the first two sections of the song, Cool emulated Ginger Baker and Charlie Watts, two English drummers from the 1960s. For the final three, he drums in his style: "I'm tipping my hat to all these great drummers that I love, and then I kick the door down and do it … my style."[8] In addition to Watts, Cool pulled inspiration from Keith Moon and Alex Van Halen.[8] The song was composed by Green Day (with Billie Joe Armstrong writing the lyrics), and was co-produced by Rob Cavallo.
    "Jesus of Suburbia" has five movements:
    I. "Jesus of Suburbia" (0:00 - 1:51)
    II. "City of the Damned" (1:51 - 3:42)
    III. "I Don't Care" (3:42 - 5:25)
    IV. "Dearly Beloved" (5:25 - 6:30)
    V. "Tales of Another Broken Home" (6:30 - 9:08)
    Since its release, "Jesus of Suburbia" has received universal critical acclaim. People magazine called the song "epic" and a "magnificent nine-minute rock opera." It is often recognized as one of Green Day's greatest songs. It was voted the greatest Green Day song of all time in a Rolling Stone readers poll in September 2012. Magnet considered the song underrated, saying "Some will look at this choice and sniff, “How the hell can you call that underrated?” ... But how in the world can you call it “overrated” when the five-movement, nine-plus-minute song bobs and weaves its way through standard-issue pop punk(“Jesus Of Suburbia”), a piano-laced interlude (“City Of The Damned”), the slobbering, thundering middle section (“I Don’t Care”), acoustic mid-tempo connective tissue (“Dearly Beloved”) and an outsized, anthemic curtain call (the spectacularly good “Tales Of Another Broken Home”), all in service of a tale of bored rebellion as nuanced as Pete Townshend’s Quadrophenia and as powerful as any of Paul Westerberg’s snot-nosed teenage character studies?".
    Billie Joe stated in an interview:
    "[The song] broke every rule people thought Green Day were supposed to be. Lyrically, it’s everything about my past, but at the same time, written on the outside as well. That song is like purging everything, throwing it out."
    He also added:
