Maria by Green Day Lyrics

[Sample: Marie-Louise Fiatarone & Billie Joe Armstrong]
Billie Joe, it certainly is exciting to meet you here at the recording studio, right after you've just made your very first record! How does it feel?
Hmmm... Wonderful!

[Verse 1]
She smashed the radio with the board of education
Turned up the static left of the state of the nation

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn on the flame, step on the gas
Burning the flag at half mast
She's the rebel forgotten son
An export of the revolution

[Verse 2]
She is the first voice of the last one's in the line
She'll drag the weights to keep the vendetta alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Bring in the head of the government
The dog ate the document
Someone shot the president
And no one knows where Maria went!
[Chorus]
Maria! Maria!
Maria! Where did ya go?

[Bridge]
Be careful what you're offering
Your breath lacks the conviction
Drawing a line in the dirt
Because the last decision is no! It's no!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
She smashed the radio with the board of education
Turned up the static left of the state of the nation

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn on the flame, step on the gas
Burning the flag at half mast
She's the rebel forgotten son
An export of the revolution

[Chorus]
Maria! Maria!
Maria! Where did ya go?
Maria! Maria!
Maria! Where did ya go?
