Wake Me Up When September Ends

Song #11 on Green Day's American Idiot CD. It is NOT about returning to school, this song is about Billie Joe Armstrong's father dying. This is the first song in which he confronted this issue, and I think it probably did him some good. However, I don't know him personally, so I can't say for sure. Green Day dedicated this song to the Hurricane Katrina victims at the concert I went to. A damn good song too.

Summer has come and past
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
