  • Meaning

    In an interview, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said that "The song is about being an individual and how you have to drift through the darkness to find where you belong."

    Billie Joe Armstrong commented that this was the point in which their song writing became slightly more politically based. The lyrics "I pledge allegiance to the underworld, one nation under dog..." were taken from the American Pledge of Allegiance but "twisted upside down a bit."

    Minority

    by: Green Day

    I want to be the minority
    I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority
    'Cause I want to be the minority
    I pledge allegiance to the underworld
    One nation under dog there of which I stand alone
    A face in the crowd unsung, against the mold
    Without a doubt singled out the only way I know
    'Cause I want to be the minority
    I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority
    'Cause I want to be the minority
    Stepped out of the line
    Like a sheep runs from the herd
    Marching out of time
    To my lovve beat now the only way I know
    One light, one mind, flashing in the dark
    Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
    For crying out loud she screamed onto me
    A free for all, fuck 'em all, you are at your own sight
    'Cause I want to be the minority
    I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority
    'Cause I want to be the minority
    One light, one mind, flashing in the dark
    Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
    For crying out loud she screamed onto me
    A free for all, fuck 'em all, you are at your own sight
    'Cause I want to be the minority
    I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority
    'Cause I want to be the minority
    The minority
    The minority
    The minority
    I want to be the minority
