Jesus of Suburbia is the fifth and final single from Green Day's seventh studio album, American Idiot and was released on October 25, 2005. The studio version of the song, a five movement piece, runs just over 9 minutes and was considered to be unfriendly for radio appeal, so it was cut down to around 6½ minutes for the radio edit. The long version was still played on many album rock and alternative rock radio stations. Sometimes at live shows, they will pick a member from the audience to play the guitar. Also did this for every show on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour.

Lyrics


I'm the son of rage and love
The Jesus of suburbia
From the bible of none of the above
On a steady diet of
Soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my sins in hell
As far as I can tell
At least the ones I've gotten away with

And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
