Green Day's, "American Idiot"
The Funny Lyrics:
Don't want to be an American idiot.
Why They're funny:
I see all these kids singing along to this song like "Wow how true!" and they don't seem to realize they're being mocked. Paying to be mocked, even.

Green Day's, "Basket Case"
The Funny Lyrics:
I went to a whore
He said my lifes a bore
So quit my whinin, 'Cause it's bringin her down
He said my lifes a bore
So quit my whinin, 'Cause it's bringin her down
Why They're funny:
It's obviously a dike that he is talking to. Always thought it was peculiar... for those that don't see it, in the first half of the lines he's talking from his point of view where he knows that the guy is obviously a guy that wants to be a woman, and then the other half is what the tranny prostitute is saying.

Green Day's, "King For A Day"
The Funny Lyrics:
Sugar and spice and everything nice wasn't made for only girls
G.I. Joe in panty hose is making room for the one and only
King for a day princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
G.I. Joe in panty hose is making room for the one and only
King for a day princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
Why They're funny:
No reason; all these lines together are just funny.

Green Day's, "Longview"
The Funny Lyrics:
Bite my lip and close my eyes
take me away to Paradise
Some say quit or I'll go blind...
take me away to Paradise
Some say quit or I'll go blind...
Why They're funny:
You guys might think I'm crazy for saying this, but I just think this part of the song is hilarious because it talks about effing off, as does the rest of the song, pretty much.

Green Day's, "Longview"
The Funny Lyrics:
Call me pathetic call me what you will
Why They're funny:
Just after Billie Joe sings this you can hear Mike, the bassist, call him 'what you will' (IOW, he takes it literally!).

For I am the Caesar, I'm gonna seize the day.

Green Day's, "Peacemaker"
The Funny Lyrics:
This is a stand off, a Molotov cocktails on the house.
Why They're funny:
A Molotov cocktail is a bomb but they're implying it as a drink.

The Funny Lyrics:
There is no place like home, when you got no place to go.

It's like a contradiction.

Green Day's, "Warning"
The Funny Lyrics:
This is a public service announcement,
this is only a test
Emergency evacuation protest
May impair your ability to operate machinery
this is only a test
Emergency evacuation protest
May impair your ability to operate machinery
Why They're funny:
I liked this lyric because it sounded like a tribute to Eminem and his chainsaw (he doesn't seem to exactly have much 'ability to operate machinery' in some of his live performances)!
