Baby Eyes
Green Day · ¡Dos! [2012]
Year of the rat last of the litter
Somebody shot the babysitter
They say my middle name is "Danger"
The guy you keep away from strangers
I'm singing woah oh oh oh oh
I'm out of control
Oh baby, when I see your pretty face
I say woah oh oh oh oh
God rest your fucking soul
'Cause baby, baby I was born to kill
I pulled the trigger from the shooting stars
I am the motor in your crashing car
I am the Cherub in the arab spring
I the bullet in your magazine
I'm singing woah oh oh oh oh
I'm out of control
Oh baby, when I see your pretty face
I said oh oh oh oh oh
God rest your fucking soul
'Cause baby, baby eyes
'Cause baby, baby eyes
'Cause baby, baby I was born to, kill
Baby Eyes
Released on Green Day's 2012 compilation album, 'Baby Eyes' stands as a poignant reflection on the band's enduring relationship with their fans. The track captures the emotional vulnerability of a long-standing connection, contrasting the band's earlier punk energy with a more mature, acoustic-driven approach. Written during a period of significant personal and professional transition for Billie Joe Armstrong, the song explores themes of nostalgia and the bittersweet nature of growing up together. Its inclusion in the 'The Studio Albums 1990-2009' collection highlights its status as a staple of their discography, resonating with listeners who have witnessed the band's evolution from the Dookie era to their later work. The recording serves as a testament to the power of shared history in rock music.
