Green Day - J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva) Lyrics
My friend drove off the other day
Now he's gone and all they say
Is you gotta live cause life goes on
But now I see I'm mortal too
and I cant live my life like you
And I think it's alright
That I do what I like
Cause thats the way I wanna live
Its how I give
And I'm still giving
And now I wonder bout my friend
And if he gave all he could give
Cause he lived his life like I live mine
Then you would start to understand
The things I value in my heart
And I think it's alright
That I do what I like
Cause thats the way I wanna live
Its how I give
And I'm still giving
You know that
I know that
You're watching me
And I think it's alright
That I do what I like
Cause thats the way I wanna live
Its how I give
And I'm still giving
Gotta make a plan
Gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles
If ya wanna build a life
But I don't wanna make a plan
For a day far away
While im young and while I'm able
All I wanna do is...

Green Day J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva) Comments
Ugh... Green Day crap. The kids that liked Green Day trying to be ironically punk or what ever, kick those whinny posers ass.
I bought the Angus soundtrack for this song. No regrets.
That bass intro though 😍😍😍
Love this song
dirnt needs a solo record...w/ lars fredericksen...& we need less hi-hat
Intro bass is so Blink 182. Cool song tho.
its was either this or basket case
Angus Bethune!
I just lost my friend in a car accident and I can’t stop think about him so I listened to this song but idk what to do
:( R.I.P bro
When this was new I used to like it as a "guilty pleasure." My friends and I were all green day fans but we all agreed this song bordered on the overly emotional (later "emo"), sappy, "crybaby" sentiment.
But I didnt understand why so many people hated this song when it was brand new considering they all heard kerplunk already and that album was totally emo too (but in a cool way😂) and everyone liked that album. 🤷♂️ I remember hearing a lot of flack for this song along those lines (emo) but thinking this song has more energy than most songs on kerplunk.
I eventually confessed that I personally put this in green days top 10 best songs (or something like that) and I took a lot of teasing for it🤣 🤘fuck yeah let's all cry 😆 it's a good song though.
Wow never thought people would dislike this song.Never underestimate people's stupidity as they say
Sweet Dreams Jason Andrew Relva,
Good Luck
it's a good song but the drums are horrible
Gr8lyrics. !!!! Wooo
this song makes me think of how my best friend tried to commit suicide twice by overdosing on pills..im so happy shes still with me 🥺 i love this song alot but it makes me sad at the same time
bout to watch angus just because of this song
You broke his nose Angus!
Angus bought me here :)
Im glad they put this in Angus
Angus bought me ahh the 90's :)
that bass at the beginning though
My friend drove off the other day
And now he's gone and all they say
Is you gotta live 'cause life goes on
But now I see I'm mortal too
I can't live my life like you
Gotta live it up while life goes on
And I think it's alright
That I do what I like 'cause that's the way I wanna live
And so I give
And I'm still giving
And now I wonder about my friend
If he gave all he could give
'Cause he lived his life like I live mine
If you could see inside my head
Then you'd start to understand
The things I value in my heart
And I think it's alright
That I do what I like 'cause that's the way I wanna live
And so I give
And I'm still giving
You know that
I know that
You're watching me
And I think it's alright
That I do what I like 'cause that's the way I wanna live
And so I give
And I'm still giving
Gotta make a plan
Gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles
If you want to build a life
But I don't want to make a plan
For a day far away
While I'm young and while I'm able
All I wanna do is
This song actually has a very sad back story this song actually makes me cry
Since jar was a friend of mikes, did mike write the lyrics
Great song
member christie road?
Best. Song. Ever.
I'm here bc of Angus.
This line in the song will forever make my heart ache when I hear it: "If you could see inside my head, then you'd start to understand, the things I value in my heart." Makes me reminisce about my beloved, favorite grandma that passed away this March. Rest In Peace forever, Mamaw. ❤ I hope you found your god and paradise.
December 25th, 1950 - March 11th, 2019.
Best soundtrack Angus
This song would of fit perfectly on insomniac
Oof car ad before song..
Very Underrated Green Day Song.
Should have been on Insomniac. With songs like 86 & Westbound Sign it fits well with the Album's Tone.
“🎶🎶Two fingers on the fret board up and down🎶🎶”
Gotta take shit gotta do whats right cant run around in circles if i wanna shit it out but i dont wanna hold it in for a day far away while im young ans while im able all i wanna do is... DOOKIE
2019?????
February 23, 2019 my friend drove off too. R.i.p. Bro
hate when that happens..
They ,re first one was the best
I remember sitting by my boombox and waiting for this to play so I could have it on cassette lol
aguante queen
Thank goodness this video quality is HQ, I mean, wow. I can see that album cover so clearly. Oh thank you sir.
これ!!大好きなやつ!!Endless repeat!
Angus (movie) brought me here!
My Uncle is a strong lad, survived getting shot in the foot, near an artery that couldve killed him, just this year he survived a stroke. Love you uncle.
I reckon this is one of the most profound, beautiful and underappreciated songs of all time. That last line 'While I'm young and while I'm able all I want to do is...' is haunting considering the emotions it was trying to encapsulate i.e. the last of Jason Andrew Relva before he died in a car crash. A young person, obviously in emotional turmoil, whose only concern is to enjoy his youth has his youth taken away by the frustration at not wanting to grow up, and the drive he probably thought would clear these thoughts from his head. Green Day, I love you.
Used a line from this as my senior quote in the yearbook "I cant live my life like you, gotta live it up while life goes on"
My friend drove off the other day
Now he's gone and all they say
Is you gotta live cuz life goes on...
Now I see I'm mortal too
I can't live my life like you
Gotta live it up while life goes on
And I think it's alright
Gotta do what I like
Cuz that's the way I wanna live
It's how I give
And I'm still giving...
Now I wonder bout my friend
If he gave all he could give
Cuz he lived his life like I live mine
If you could see inside my head
Then you'd start to understand
The things I value in my heart
And I think it's alright
Gotta do what I like
Cuz that's the way I wanna live
It's how I give
And I'm still giving...
You know that
I know that
You're watching me
And I think it's alright
Gotta do what I like
Cuz that's the way I wanna live
It's how I give
And I'm still giving...
Gotta make a plan
Gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles
If you wanna live a life
But I don't wanna make a plan
For a day faraway
While I'm young and while I'm able
All I wanna do is..
Top 10 Green Day songs for me. Catchy, heaps of heart great pace. Everything I want in a green day song. It's a crime it didn't make it onto Dookie.
Imagine the frustration of being a fan in 1995 and hearing this on the radio...it's not on Dookie...not on Insomniac...certainly not on Kerplunk...where the hell is it?! A soundtrack?! Aw hell.
It WAS amazing.....this is when you would hope to hear it on the radio. Different times back then fam.....things like this were not instantaneous
Well, I never got one notification about this comment and certainly don't remember posting it, but...
I did eventually discover the Angus soundtrack, which made me watch the movie, and I fell in love with both ST and film. Just reinforces my theory that 1995 was an absolute phenomenal year.
Never any frustration. The radio DJs told us it was on a soundtrack a million times per day.
It's the only reason I saw the film "Angus." Well, that, & George C. Scott's last performance.
International superhits is an amazing album
I would like to dedicate this to my cat. She was there to get me through middle and high school, always there through the thick and thin, through the woes of adolescence. Found her yesterday afternoon out behind the back fence, she had been dead since the previous night from a coyote battle that didn't go too well for her. She loved to adventure outside, and she died doing just that. At least she didn't have to suffer of old age, but still, may the fucker that got her rot in the California desert heat.
R.I.P. Charlie
August 2009 to July 6-7, 2018.
You were one hell of a cat, and you lived one hell of a life. I'll see you again someday.
My dog just died today and he’s exactly the reason I’m listening to this right now so it’s quite comforting to see your comment.
OilCoon my cat went off the other day. Nows hes gone and all they says. You got to live cuz life goess ooon
remembering my HIGH SCHOOL DAYS!!! NU 107.5!!!!!
Rest easy, Jason.
I'm still giving
I can't fucking understand why this song is so god damn underrated!
The only green day song on wikipedia that is labeled as just
"Punk rock" which it is
I actually liked the guitar tone from the Insomniac era. You can hear the "dookie" amp and the other one with that throaty midrange growl.
If anyone is interested, here is a cover of this song by Old Bones Break Easy (Austin, TX) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUTXh7bac4M&t=8s
AUGUS SOUNDTRACK
Check out this cover of this song https://youtu.be/pUTXh7bac4M
this song is in a league of it's own. I'm glad this wasn't on Dookie, or Insomniac;
it would've overshadowed everything else on those records.
but if it HAD to go on either Dookie or Insomniac, I'd definitely say Dookie, and the perfect place for it would be right after Emenius Sleepus.
this is THE best GD song of all time!
💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️❤️

The best song Green day forever
J.A.R. & "she" are the best Green Day tunes
ANGUS!!!!!!!!!!!
I love This!
I played this live with Green Day in Oakland!
How did it feel? bro
Kind of funny to stumble across this song finally after being a Green Day fan forever. Aside from the badass music, I realized the lyrics take the song into another different level. While the music sounds like fun, the lyric idea is actually really sad, harshly honest and eerie at times. When you look closely at Mike Dirnt's closing lines, you formulate this idea of (RIP) Jason's mind in that rush with "All I wanna do is..." not finishing due to the sudden crash (the *ting* on the ride cymbal helps symbolize that).
The 90s was also a mega rough time for coming of age. Bullying and suicide seemed extremely part of a norm then...
Awesome song. One of the best basslines I've ever heard.
so good!!
I can't be the only one that thinks the first bass line in this song sounds like the start of a blink 182 song? Just Me?
and RIIIIIIGHT back to high school I go.
You know that
I know that
Your watching meme
For me, this is their best song.
I'll be honest, I teared a bit.
I love this song 🎶
Oh!! coooool!!!
best tune are Christy road, 2000 light years away, the song Green day is good. disappearing boy Android
it was on the Angus soundtrack dopes!
PDRさんの動画から来た。
