Green Di$ea$e!!!

VEDHEAD27 · September 2003

OMG I looooooooove this fuckin song! Talk about getting you pumped the fuck up! God damn! I must say it is my absolute FAV off of RA (when it comes to the rockers), and now that there is a specific place to go off about songs I had to make sure to add a post about this one.

Got it at my first show this tour and 4/5 of the other ones. I swear it just got better and better everytime. Other then Sonic Reducer, I don't think I ever rocked out so hard.

I just listened to the MSG version and the Last Exit/Save You/Green Disease threesome is incredible. Ed gets sooo into this one, you can hear it and you can just feel it. That chorus attacks me! Forces me to SWAY for sure.

LOVE IT!

THANK YOU PJ

GREEN DI$EA$E

G-R-E-E-D

It's a disease and they're all green.
It emminates from their being.
Agitation with occupation.
And like weeds with big leaves.
Stealing light from what's beneath.
Where they have more. Still they take more.

Course I know. Then I don't.
There's a stoway with my throat.
It's deceiving. I don't believe him.
We can scream out our doors.
Behind the wall a fat man snores.
In his dreams he's choking on leaves.

Well I guess there's nothing wrong with what you say.
But don't sell me, "There can't be better ways."
Tell the captain "This boat's not safe, and we're drowning."
Turns up he's the one making waves. Waves. Waves.

I said there's nothing wrong with what you say.
Believe me just asking you to sway.
No white or black just grey.
Can you feel this world with your heart and not your brain?

G-R-E-E-D

Ok, I thought I was going to have to kick your ass, VEDHEAD, saying that this is your fav over All Or None, but you put that rocker comment in there so you're in the clear.

GhostBoy and I were almost on our way to do the job.

Ayedavanita · September 2003

With All or None and You Are who can pick a favorite??

LOL!!!

Yeah, Green Disease AND All or None. Don't you worry PJammin'. I would never betray ALL OR NONE or my fellow All or None-iens.

They are ALL favs when it comes down to it (you are so right Aye) but Green Disease and All Or None are extra extra special to me is all.

And I really like the visuals in the lyrics. I can see it in my head.

In this part...
"Behind the wall a fat man snores.
In his dreams he's choking on leaves."

What do the leaves represent?

Love,
Kat

VEDHEAD27 · September 2003

Heeey there Kat! Thanks for droppin by my thread.

Yeah I love the visuals too! The entire message is just awesome.

Leaves definitely represent money (in my mind anyways)

Kaddikat · September 2003

well i guess there's nothing wrong with what THEY say!! 2:10 into the song...boston 3.. nifty..:D

Kat for a minute i thought that was a pop quiz!

hahah

This is the line that does it for me...so much said in this one little line!!!

MeddleDeal · September 2003

Ironically Lyd, I was just listening to the MSG I boot as well last night. love the whole "g-r-e-e" part.

It does make me want to rock the fuck out!!
