Green Day - Basket Case e She

Banda bacana que surgiu em finais da década de 1980 (link no wikipedia), mas que passou a ser levada a sério mesmo a partir da metade dos anos 1990.
Entrou num vácuo pós-grunge (Nirvana), misturando motivos do skate e punk rock.
Estourou aqui com a música Basket Case (e com o álbum Dookie, que teve várias de suas músicas executadas nas rádios e na MTV).
"Pisou na bola" quando resolveu se meter nos assuntos militares dos EUA e se posicionou politicamente contra as invasões estadunidenses.
Literalmente sumiram do mapa da cultura de massa, mas com a internet a mil, a galera seguiu ouvindo e o Green Day permanece grande no cenário pop rock.
Aqui embaixo duas clássicas do Dookie, com as respectivas letras.

Basket Case

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything
All at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Am I just stoned?

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause
It's bringing her down

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Uh, yuh, yuh, ya

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Am I just stoned?


She

She...
She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control

Are you locked up in a world
That's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

She...
She's figured out
All her doubts were someone else's point of view
Waking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
