Children.

Green Day was formed in 1987 and is made up of lead vocalist and guitarist
Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré
Cool.

One of their first songs written together was "Best Thing in Town".
The group's first live performance took place on October 17, 1987, at Rod's
Hickory Pit in Vallejo, California.
In April 1989, the band released its debut extended play, 1,000 Hours.

Shortly before the EP's release, the group dropped the Sweet Children
name; according to Livermore, this was done to avoid confusion with another
local band Sweet Baby The band adopted the name Green Day,

Green Day's sound is often compared to first wave American and

British punk rock bands such as the Ramones, Sex Pistols, the Clash, the
Dickies, and Buzzcocks.[43] Stylistically, several publications have characterized

Song: Basket case

Do you have the time to listen to me whine

About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned?

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned?
