Song Notes

We played Graffitia [live for the first time in October 2023], which is one of my favourite songs that we’ve ever had. The pandemic sort of pulled the rug out from underneath it. So to actually be able to go up and play it live in front of people and get the response… because we didn’t know what people actually thought. You’re gonna get people online that argue about it – ‘This doesn’t sound like this, and this should be more like this. Why are they doing this? Blah, blah, this sucks.’ But, actually, when you get in front of people – real people – and you hear an entire crowd singing it, it’s like, ‘Alright, that’s the truth, right there.’
Billie Joe Armstrong (Kerrang)

Lyrics
Another one down at the mining town Breakin' it down for the lame wager Callin' the shots from the capital (Whoa-oh) But all that we got was the banks of hope Are we the last forgotten? Are we the long lost love? Are we the last forgotten? Are we the long lost love? This city isn't big enough for dreamers We were all believers It's the perfect crime (Only the lonely and wasted) Another black kid was shot in town (Whoa-oh) A man with a badge and a daytime show Darkness falls on Graffitia (Whoa-oh) Death of a town in the afterglow Are we the last forgotten? Are we the long lost love? Are we the last forgotten? Are we the long lost love? All souls go to heaven in Graffitia Singing Hallelujah It's the perfect crime (Only the lonely and wasted) If we're goin' down for a good time Life during war time It's the perfect crime (Only the lonely and wasted) Are we the last forgotten? Are we the long lost love? Are we the last forgotten? Are we the long lost love? Are we the last forgotten? (Another one down at the mining town) Are we the long lost love? (Breakin' it down for the lame wager) Are we the last forgotten? (Callin' the shots from the capital) Are we the long lost love? (All that we got was the banks of hope) Another one down at the mining town (Are we the last forgotten?) Callin' the shots from the capital (Are we the last forgotten?) Another one down at the mining town (Are we the last forgotten?) Callin' the shots from the capital (Are we the last forgotten?)
