This is an exact version of the song in the key that Green Day plays it. If the chords
are too difficult, transpose them down 1 half step and put a capo on the first fret to
make it easier.

(over the bass solo)
"The representative from California has the floor"
Zieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
C
Just cause (hey, hey, hey), just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!
