Song Notes

That song’s about living in the moment. I think the older you get, you have to appreciate your time on this planet.
Billie Joe Armstrong (Guitar World)

Lyrics
Breaking in a sweat like a bomb threat Is your silhouette fading out? Nothing left to lose, detonate the fuse Another breaking news blowout Ain't it beautiful? So unusual Life's a gas and it's running out Living a cliche, gonna seize the day Bottle rockets that celebrate, celebrate, celebrate Carpe Diem, a battle cry Are we all too young to die? Ask a reason, and no reply Are we all too young to die? Making a living Making a killing What's worth forgiving, alright? A blink of an eye, barely scraping by Dominated by passersby Feeling out of luck when the traffic's stuck And you're feeling so left behind Getting off a binge, get a second wind Another promise to make a change Got a broken wing, hear the angels sing When the signal is out of range Ain't it strange? Ain't it strange? Carpe Diem, a battle cry Are we all too young to die? Ask a reason, and no reply Are we all too young to die? Making a living Making a killing What's worth forgiving, alright? Making a living Making a killing What's worth forgiving, alright? Carpe Diem, a battle cry Are we all too young to die? Ask a reason, and no reply Are we all too young to die? Carpe Diem, a battle cry Are we all too young to die? Ask a reason, and no reply Are we all too young to die?
