a song that's really emotional originally written about billie's dad dying, NOT about summer or sept. 11 or the war in iraq or katrina BUT can be interpreted that way if you want.

a really great song but is becoming the next boulevard of broken dreams. now every radio station in the country plays this song to shit and every preppy poser idiot is screaming "i heart greenday!11!!111111 this is teh bestest song eva!!!!!! im totally teh biggest greenday fan eVa111!" when they only know this song and BoBD.

damn green day for being so mainstream.
(something that actually happened to me)

1. green day song from American Idiot about a boy and a girl where the boy has to go to the army. In reality, this song was influenced by Billie Joe Armstrong growing up without a dad, who died when he was only 10.

2. what people might say if someone they knew died in 9/11
1. Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

2. person 1: dude do u remember 9/11

(v.) When you wake up next to a giant, mute man-puppet who subsequently offers you a breakfast sandwich for no apparent reason.

Note: The breakfast sandwich likely serves as consideration for whatever the creepy man-puppet did to your anus while you were asleep
Dude, I nearly shit my pants when I woke up with the King. How the fuck did that asshole get into my room again? I also think he might have raped me this time, but I'm not pressing charges because he gave me a breakfast sandwich.

When you've been doing something self destructive for some time (perhaps without realizing it) before something serious happens that forces you to come to terms with what you've been doing and that you need to stop.

Usually involves something medical but can involve anything serious.
He used to eat tons of junk food, stuff with all sorts of sugar, salty snack foods, you name it. It doesn't help that he rarely exercised. He didn't seem to get that even the manufacturers of those foods stress the importance of a balanced diet. His wake up call was a heart attack that almost killed him. Fortunately, he took it seriously and made a lot of changes to his lifestyle.

They used to seem like they had everything. They lived well beyond their means. Most people thought they were rich. It took almost losing their house for them to start opening their eyes and living within their means. It was a real wake up call.
