Green Day - Basket Case - [HQ]

Title: Basket Case
Album: Dookie (1994)

Lyrics:

Do you have the time, To listen to me whine,
About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools,
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps,
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me,
It all keeps adding up,
I think I'm cracking up!
Am I just paranoid?
Am I just stoned?

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause
it's bringing her down

Sometimes I give myself the creeps,
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me,
It all keeps adding up,
I think I'm cracking up!
Am I just paranoid?
Ah, Yuh, yuh, yuh!

Grasping to con-trol...
So I better hold on!

Sometimes I give myself the creeps,
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me,
It all keeps adding up,
I think I'm cracking up!
Am I just paranoid?
I'm not sure...

That chord progression is so addictive.

childhood is amazing when green day is played everyday

[chrisb]

Learning this on bass now at 45. Remember when it came out and thought it would be awesome to play.
Better late than never.

My recently lost nephew sung this song so well and wish he was still here. I listern to this to remember his happy timea.

[jptothetree]

my brother bought this album when it came out and i still remember this song clearly even though i was 6 at the time. love it!

[jasminedubois]

You can tellyou're listening to a green day song by Billie Joe Armstrong's. It's one of those recognizable voices.

[Metalviking]

Green Day is fucking classic. Not modern. But they still fucking kick ass. Been a Green Day fan for a long time. I never get bored of them.

[davidtheboy]

Green Day was my childhood from age 8-10 playing through the Tony Hawk games on the GameCube and listening to the band

[Dead-head]

I’ve just recently got into Green Day and let me say they’re one of the greats

[charlesreed]

It's the drums that stand out to me in this song. Very well done.

[deannculver]

I'm old and was introduced to Green Day by my daughter and she's old now too. Never too old for them!

[Finnikkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

song so good, mold grew on my skin because of it

[Pingu]

That initial shockwave of the first chorus

[jaegner]

Mike Dirnt - one of the more underappreciated bass players out there

[PixelStarzzz]

I remember when my mom would listen to the classic rock stations on the radio and this would play almost every thirty minutes to an hour, it was that iconic. This song holds a special place in my heart <3

[autumnfaerie]

Old school Green Day! Love it a classic!

[theoneandonlyjim]

This is the most early 2000's feeling song (Despite being released in the 90's) ever made

[AsherSkylark]

I used this as my alarm sound and everytime my alarm starts i begin to startle and get a heart attack from the sheer loudness of this song
10/10 would recommend this as an alarm

[jt]

I pretty much started playing guitar to learn this song

[AlejandroArana]

This songs never die.. and i comeback for more.. i love this.. 2022 sucks!!
