Lyrics to Before The Lobotomy by Green Day

Dreaming
I am only dreaming
Of another place and time
Where my family's from

Singing
I can hear them singing
When the rain had washed
away
All these scattered dreams

Dying
Everyone's reminded
Hearts are washed in misery
Drenched in gasoline

Laughter
There is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday
Now live in the underground

Life before the lobotomy
Christian sang the eulogy
Sign my love a lost memory
From the end of the century

Well it's enough to make you
sick
To cast a stone and throw a
brick
When the sky is falling down
It burned your dreams into the ground

Christian's lesson is what he's
been sold
We are normal and self-
controlled
Remember to learn to forget
Whiskey shots and cheap
cigarettes

Well I'm not stoned
I'm just f-cked up
I got so high I can't stand up
I'm not cursed cause I've been
blessed
I'm not in love cause I'm a mess

Like refugees
We're lost like refugees
Like refugees
We're lost like refugees
The brutality of reality
Is the freedom that keeps me
from

Dreaming
I am only dreaming
Of another place and time
Where my family's from

Singing
I can hear them singing
When the rain had washed
away
All these scattered dreams

Dying
Everyone's reminded
Hearts are washed in misery
Drenched in gasoline

Laughter
There is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday
Now live in the underground
