Brain Stew / Jaded lyrics
by Green Day
[Part I: Brain Stew]
[Verse 1]
I'm havin' trouble tryin' to sleep
I'm countin' sheep, but runnin' out
As time ticks by, still I try
No rest for cross-tops in my mind
On my own, here we go
[Verse 2]
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulgin' out my skull
My mouth is dry, my face is numb
f*cked up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go
[Verse 3]
My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughin' in my face
A crooked spine, my senses dulled
Past the point of delirium
On my own, here we go
[Verse 4]
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulgin' out my skull
My mouth is dry, my face is numb
f*cked up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go
[Instrumental Outro]
[Part II: Jaded]
[Verse 1]
Somebody keep my balance, I think I'm fallin' off
Into a state of regression
The expiration date rapidly coming up
It's leavin' me behind to rank
[Chorus]
Always move forward
Goin' straight will get you nowhere
There is no progress, evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
[Verse 2]
I'm taking one step sideways, leadin' with my crutch
Got a f*cked up equilibrium
Count down from nine to five, hooray, we're gonna die
Blessed into our distinction
[Chorus]
Always move forward
Goin' straight will get you nowhere
There is no progress, evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Always move forward
Goin' straight will get you nowhere
There is no progress, evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
In nowhere, in nowhere
