Green Day - ¡Viva La Gloria! Lyrics






Hey, Gloria, are you standing close to the edge?
Look out at the setting sun
The brink of your vision

Eternal youth is a landscape of a lie
The cracks in my skin can prove
As the years will testify

Say your prayers and light a fire
We're gonna start a war
Your slogan's "A gun for hire"
It's what we waited for

Hey, Gloria
This is why we're on the edge
The fight of our lives' been drawn to this undying love

Gloria! ¡Viva La Gloria!
You blast your name in graffiti on the walls (Ooh.)
Falling in broken glass and slashing through your spirits
I can hear it like a jilted crowd

Gloria! Where are you, Gloria?
You found a home in all your scars and ammunition
You made your bed in salad days amongst the ruins
Ashes to ashes of our youth

She smashed her knuckles into winter (Gloria!)
As autumn's wind fades into black
She is the saint of all the sinners (Gloria!)
The one that's fallen through the cracks

So don't put away your burning light

Gloria! Where are you, Gloria?
Don't lose your faith to your lost naïveté
Weather the storm and don't look back on last November
When your banners were burning down

Gloria! ¡Viva La Gloria!
Send me your amnesty down to the broken-hearted
Bring us the season that we always will remember
Don't let the bonfires go out

So, Gloria, send out your message of the light
That shadows in the night
Gloria, where's your undying love?
Tell me the story of your life, your life!

Green Day ¡Viva La Gloria! Comments
  1. x.... h....

    I came here from the Hollyleaf pmv :p

  2. J.... H....

    This is my dad's favorite song. I listened to it so much when I was younger and only now do I understand the lyrics

  3. B.... 1....

    2019?🤣

  4. J.... W....

    One of the most underrated Green Day songs ever...

  5. H.... H....

    Little girl, little girl, why are you crying?
    Inside your restless soul your heart is dying
    Little one, little one, your soul is purging
    Of love and razor blades your blood is surging

    Run away
    From the river to the street and find yourself with your face in the gutter
    You're a stray for the salvation army
    There is no place like home when you got no place to go

    Little girl, little girl, your life is calling
    The charlatans and saints of your abandon
    Little one, little one, the sky is falling
    Your lifeboat of deception is now sailing
    In the wake all the way no rhyme or reason
    Your bloodshot eyes will show your heart of treason

    Little girl, little girl, you dirty liar
    You're just a junkie preaching to the choir

    Run away
    From the river to the street and find yourself with your face in the gutter
    You're a stray for the salvation army
    There is no place like home when you got no place to go

    The traces of blood always follow you home like the mascara tears from your getaway
    (Gloria!)
    You're walking with blisters and running with shears
    So unholy sister of grace!

    Run away
    From the river to the street and find yourself with your face in the gutter
    You're a stray from the salvation army
    There is no place like home

    Green Day vocalist and chief songwriter Billie Joe Armstrong explained to Q magazine May 2009: "It's about a woman with a heavy drug problem." Her added that the song "is about a person who has a vision, but this is a person who's distorting that vision with drugs and self destruction."

    The politically active Gloria is one of two reoccurring characters who feature on 21st Century Breakdown, (the other being the nihilistic Christian). Armstrong explained to The Sunday Times April 26, 2009 that Gloria, "wants the whole carry-the-torch thing, whereas Christian wants to burn the whole place down."

  31. S.... ....

    This song will never get old

  32. L.... ....

    Oops 😬
    Ok so I was listening to Mama by MCR before this.
    As the intro of this song was playing, I forgot that I’m listening to Green Day and started singing “Mama we all go to hell” 😅

  33. E.... I....

    Billie's voice is that of an angel's. It's beautiful to a point of surpassing Patrick Stump and Gerard Way's voices. This song reminds me of just how much I love Green Day (which is more than any other band to ever exist). Edit: Let's start a war in the comment section: which is better? American Idiot, Wake Me Up When September Ends, or Bang Bang?

    E.... I....

  63. R.... ....

    Hitchin a Ride was always my favourite song. Now that i've heard this, i don't know anymore

  64. N.... ....

    Sounds like yindy

  65. A.... O....

    ..bipolar ..bipolar your soul is burgeoning...of apathy and hatred your soul is smudging

  66. A.... ....

    k panic at the disco just released pray for the wicked an they not rlly a rock band nomore they sound more pop an that rlly sux bc i like alternative an i already listen to almost all of mcr songs an the only other band i like is tøp an im 100% sure i listen to all of their songs an who knows wen their coming back an im BOREDDDD so now i listening to this

    A.... ....

    Ik this is an old comment, but you like MCR and tøp, you might like the bands Palaye Royalle and Set it Off

  67. A.... ....

    this rlly sounds like mama

  68. A.... ....

    was this inspired by mama
    lol i came here cuz i saw a comment saying mama sounds liek this

    mama's better

    A.... ....

    Mcr is my favorite band, but i think that if anything, mcr was inspired by Green Day's other song, "Misery", which came out first.

    However, I think that Mama was actually inspired by "The Trial" by Pink Floyd. It's more theatrical.

  69. S.... ....

    2018???

  70. A.... B....

    ADAMLARIN HER ŞARKISI MI MUHTEŞEM OLUR....! EXCELLENT

  71. B.... D....

    I Absolutely love this song!!

  72. n.... k....

    this song is inspired by
    The Streets of Cairo or the little country maid. theres a diffrence between "inspired by" and "ripped off" and im glad they didnt crossed the line and really let the music come from within.

  73. -.... ....

    I think I broke the replay button.

  74. U.... 1....

    Billie Joe Armstrong Is Cooler Than Zach Sawyer

  75. y.... r....

    this doesn't even really sound like mama. just the beginning. misery sounds more like mama to me. but in my opinion, these songs sound way better than mama or any mcr song lol.

    y.... r....

  76. C.... F....

    This reminds me of mama by mcr lol
