letterbomb

A song by Green Day, appearing on their 7th album, American Idiot.
It is a song about Whatsername sending a letter to Jesus of Suburbia, or St.Jimmy, and telling him how he isn't saving the city (City og the Damned). Whatsername also states in the letter that she is going to leave him and the city behind.
The lyrics of American Idiot are written in a diary form; diary of Jesus of Suburbia's. But for this song, the lyrics are written in Whatsername's writting, but not entirely.

Me: hey, have you heard letterbomb yet?

me: and you call yourself a green day fan?

jesus of surbubia

Song appearing on the 2nd track of Green Day's album, American Idiot.
Some believes that he has a split-personality disorder and the St.Jimmy is his other personality.
He is the main character throughout the story in American Idiot. He is a son of a divorced mother who, apparently, is with Brad. He is on 'a steady diet of soda pop and Ritalin.'
He claims that there is nothing wrong with him, and that he is just being himself.
He loiters around 7.11 while doing drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. But later on in the song, he gets sick of his town and decides to leave, moving on to the next song, Holiday.

'I'm the son of rage and love,
the Jesus of Surbubia.
From the bible of,
none of the above.'
- Jesus of Surbubia by Green Day.
