Green Day - Holiday

Holiday est une chanson du groupe californien Green Day, sortie en 2004 sur leur album American Idiot. Ce groupe n'hésite pas à égratigner la politique de George W. Bush dans cette chanson avec des passages très explicites : “Sieg Heil au président gazeur / ta punition c'est les bombardements / Pulvérise la Tour Eiffel qui critique ton gouvernement” Comme quoi tous les américains ne sont pas des “american idiot” hostiles à la France ! Maintenant je sais pas si c'est un courant majoritaire aux States…

-Say, hey!-
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called “Faith and Misery” (Hey!)
and bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
on holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!)
to find, the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
a gag, a plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
on holiday
(Hey!)
(Say, hey!)
(3,4)
-”The representative from California has the floor”-
Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
this is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday
