Sex Drugs Violence - Green Day Lyrics

[Verse 1: Billie]
All my life trouble follows me like a mystery, girl
I've been chasing round a memory like a mystery, girl
I've been getting lost searching my soul all around this town
I took a wrong turn at growing up and it's freaking me out

[Pre-Chorus]
Back at school it never made much sense
Now I pay but I can't pay attention
Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life
Too dumb to die I guess, but that's the way it goes
Sometimes I must regress to

[Chorus]
Sex, drugs & violence
English, math & science
Safety in numbers
Give me, give me danger

[Bridge: Mike]
Well I don't want to be an imbecile
But Jesus made me that way

[Verse 2: Billie]
All my life I've been running wild like a runaway
Wherever the night takes me like a stowaway

[Pre-Chorus]
Back at home it never made much sense
Now I pay but I can't pay attention
Teaches me the hardest lessons of my life
Too dumb to die I guess, but that's the way it goes
Sometimes I must regress these

[Chorus]
Sex, drugs & violence
English, math & science
Safety in numbers
Give me, give me danger

[Guitar solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Back at home it never made much sense
I can pay but I can't pay attention
Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life
Too dumb to die I guess, but that's the way it goes
Sometimes I must regress to

[Chorus]
Sex, drugs & violence
English, math & science
Safety in numbers
Give me, give me danger

Sex, drugs & violence
English, math & science
Safety in numbers
Give me, give me danger

[Outro]
Sex, drugs & violence
English, math & science
Safety in numbers
Give me, give me danger
