The formation of the band, all began in 1987, freinds Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, 15 year old at the time, formed a band called Sweet Children. the first Sweet Children show took place on October 17 in 1987 in California.

=**Green Day** **21 Guns**=

Do you know what's worth fighting for,

When it's not worth dying for? Does it take your breath away And you feel yourself suffocating? Does the pain weigh out the pride? And you look for a place to hide? Did someone break your heart inside? You're in ruins

One, 21 guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, You and I

When you're at the end of the road And you lost all sense of control And your thoughts have taken their toll When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul Your faith walks on broken glass And the hangover doesn't pass Nothing's ever built to last You're in ruins

One, 21 guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, You and I

Did you try to live on your own When you burned down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire? Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it's time to live and let die And you can't get another try Something inside this heart has died You're in ruins

One, 21 guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, You and I

One, 21 guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, You and I

One, 21 guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, You and I.

END SONG

MESSAGE FROM LYRICS This song is based on the fight between Irak and America making reference to all the damage it has cause. Also the song has retorical questions referring to the emotions, senses that causes this conflict. "One, 21 guns" is repeat throw out the song, 21 makes reference to the centuary we are, 21 centuary. The 2 paragraph throws lots of retorical questions "When it's not worth dying for? Does it take your breath away And you feel yourself suffocating? Does the pain weigh out the pride? And you look for a place to hide? Did someone break your heart inside? " making a suggestion why are we continueing fight v.s Irak. "throw up your arms into the sky" suggests rendecy, to not be killed and finish with fight with no more kills. Also "Nothing is built to last" making reference to the fight doesn't have to last more time, meaning there no need of continuing fighting.
