Green Day ........Some Day......

I have been pushed into the genre of punk rock or...alternative rock as they say... last weekend.
Ok, what I mean is that I heard my 2nd son singing "One, 21 guns"... hmmm, so I had the video downloaded to my cellphone. Here goes, some parts of the lyrics:

Do you know what's worth fighting for,

When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

^^^ Wow, for a 10-year-old but does he really know what all that means... i wonder. For this new wave group, Green Day, it was said that the majority of their songs are composed of the over-driven guitar, fast, manic drums, and relatively high-treble bass. And... only this generation can relate to their kind of music. Well, er, okay, after a while i thought it was not bad, but I may just slide back to the 70's and 80's era - my retro world. Give me Quincy Jones, Kool and the Gang, Beatles, The Eagles... anytime!
