Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1986 by lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt. For much of the band's career, they have been a trio with drummer Tré Cool, who replaced John Kiffmeyer in 1990 prior to the recording of the band's second studio album, Kerplunk (1991). Guitarist Jason White, who has been a touring member since 1999, was an official member from 2012 to 2016.
Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at the DIY 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, California.

((Bass and Drums (No Guitar)) [Verse 1] I sit around and watch the tube but nothing's on. I change the channel's for an hour or two. Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit. I'm sick of all the same old shit. In the house with unlocked doors and I'm fucking lazy.
[Chorus] A#5G#5D#5A#5 Bite my lip and close my eyes. G#5D#5 Take me away to paradise. A#5G#5D#5A#5G#5 I'm so damn bored I'm going blind and I smell like shit.
(Armstrong then plays D#5 once before Dirnt's bass part)
((Bass and Drums (No Guitar)) [Verse 2] Peel me off this Velcrow seat And get me moving. I sure as hell can't do it by myself. I'm feeling like a dog in heat; Barred indoors from the summer street. I've locked the doors to my own cell and I've lost the key.
(Armstrong plays the C#5 until the chorus)
[Chorus] A#5G#5D#5A#5 Bite my lip and close my eyes. G#5D#5 Take me away to paradise. A#5G#5D#5A#5G#5 I'm so damn bored I'm going blind and I smell like shit.
[Bridge] D#5C#5 I've got no motivation. D#5C#5 Where is my motivation? D#5C#5 No time for motivation. D#5C#5A#5G#5D#5A#5G#5D#5A#5G#5D#5 Smoking my inspi-ration. A#5G#5
(Armstrong then plays D#5 once before Dirnt's bass part)
Bass and Drums (No Guitar) [Verse 3] I sit around and watch the phone But no ones calling. Call me pathetic, call me what you will. My mother says to get a job But she don't like the one she's got. When masturbation's lost its fun you're fucking lonely.
(Armstrong plays the C#5 until the chorus)
[Chorus 2] A#5G#5D#5A#5 Bite my lip and close my eyes. G#5D#5 Take me away to paradise. A#5G#5D#5A#5 I'm so damn bored I'm going blind G#5D#5 And lonliness has to subside. A#5G#5D#5A#5 Bite my lip and close my eyes. G#5D#5 Slowly slipping away to paradise. A#5G#5D#5A#5G#5 Some say "Quit, or I'll go blind" but it's just a myth.
