Misery Songtext
von Green Day

Virginia was a lot lizard from F.L.A.
She had a compound fracture in the trunk
It started when she ran away
Thumbs out on the interstate
She hitched a ride
To misery

Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident
He fell into the city by the bay
He liquidated his estate
Now he sleeps upon the Haight
Panhandling
Misery

And he's gonna get high high high
When he's low low low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams "why oh why
I said I don't know"
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery


Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel in Tinsel town
They found him in a Cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat in the name
Of misery

Well, Gina hit the road to New York City
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
She stopped in Vegas to elope
With Virginia and the dope
That kissed the bride eternally

And they're gonna get high high high
When they're low low low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams "why oh why
I said I don't know"
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery

Hell hounds on your trail now once again boy
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
'Cause it's not what you make it's what you leave


And we're gonna get high high high
When we're low low low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams "why oh why
I said I don't know"
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery
