Song Notes

Well, in addition to being one of the first songs I wrote for the album, I also felt like, ‘Man, this sounds like the first song off an album.’ Eventually that first song became American Dream, but when we were trying to figure out what we wanted to call the album as we were mixing, I was listening to Saviors and really hearing the sort of desperate cry for help that the song has. It’s trying to make some sense of the world. So I was like, ‘We should call the album Saviors.’ Because I think everybody’s looking for something or someone to hold onto, and to believe in.
Billie Joe Armstrong (Guitar World)
Lyrics
We've got a feeling like a flicker of light Out of sight but like a halo We're all waiting on the summer But the sun is out of view It's not a hero or a capital crime Fall in love and falling in line We're all passing like a viral echo to pass the time Calling all saviors tonight Make us all believers tonight Calling all strangers tonight Will somebody save us tonight? I gotta chuckle What a dumb way to die everything coming up roses We are the last of the rockers Making a commotion We need a signal that's more heat than light Waiting out the dead of winter We don't need another bastard let them scourge and fall Calling all saviors tonight Make us all believers tonight Calling all strangers tonight Will somebody save us tonight? Everyone's asleep but nobody's dreaming We got all the fiction that's worth believing Calling all saviors tonight Make us believers tonight Calling all strangers tonight Will somebody save us tonight? Calling all saviors tonight Make us all believers tonight Calling all strangers tonight Will somebody save us tonight?
