(Billie Joe, it certainly is exciting meeting you here at the recording studio)

(Right after you've just made your very first record)

(How does it feel?)

(Wonderful!)

She smashed the radio with the board of education

Turn up the static left of the state of the nation

Turn up the flame, step on the gas

Burning the flag at half mast

She's a rebel's forgotten son

An export of the revolution

She is the first voice of the last ones in the line

She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive

Bring in the head of the government

The dog ate the document

Somebody shot the president

And no one knows where Maria went

Maria, Maria, Maria

Where did you go?

Be careful what you're offering

Your breath lacks the conviction

Drawing the line in the dirt

Because the last decision is "No"

She smashed the radio with the board of education

Turn up the static left of the state of the nation

Turn up the flame, step on the gas

Burning the flag at half mast

She's a rebel's forgotten son

An export of the revolution

Maria, Maria, Maria

Where did you go?

Maria, Maria, Maria

Where did you go?
