Green Day's, "2000 Light Years Away"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
She holds my malachite
so tight so never let go
'Cause she's 2000 light years away
so tight so never let go
'Cause she's 2000 light years away
Why They're Nonsensical:
'Malachite' is a type of rock. Is Billie Joe a geologist? And why is this girl holding his rock?

Green Day's, "Basket Case"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
And quit my whining
cause it's bringing her down
He said my life's a bore
And quit my whining
cause it's bringing her down
Why They're Nonsensical:
Wow...Instant sex changes. I guess this person really is crazy.

Green Day's, "Brain Stew"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
On my own...here we go!
Why They're Nonsensical:
It's inconsistent. The first phrase, "on my own", implies an individual is telling the story, but the next phrase, "here we go", implies a group of people involved. Shouldn't it be "here I go", for consistency's sake? I mean, if you're on your own, "Here *I* Go" is the more grammatically correct phrase to use.

Green Day's, "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
Why They're Nonsensical:
I've never found anyone who can really tell me what does it mean "dead skin on trial" Is the dead skin been tested for a while, and then if you like it, you'll buy a full version? Or is the dead skin going to need a lawyer so it won't go to jail? And why would you get tattoo of a dead skin on trial? isn't it enough have a lot because of your memories?

Green Day's, "Nice Guys Finish Last"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane
Why They're Nonsensical:
Uh? What the heck is that supposed to mean? Maybe it's me, but...

Green Day's, "Wake Me Up When September Ends"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Falling from the stars
Why They're Nonsensical:
Rain falls from clouds, not stars. Billie Joe's not much of a meteorologist.
