You Lied - Green Day
2:25
single, 1997
Written by Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool
An outtake from the Nimrod sessions, this minor Green Day work was released as the B-side of "Good Riddance" and later was issued on the 2002 compilation Shenanigans. Basically a jeremiad against a mendacious addressee, the lyrics are perhaps more goofy than scathing ("Pinocchio has pierced your tongue / Your nose is growing into the third dimension"). Perhaps if they'd ripped through it at a fast tempo à la "Uptight," it would be more engaging.
