Favorite Son (Broadway) Lyrics by Green Day

American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording

2010

[JOSHUA]
He hit the ground running
[GIRLS]
At the speed of light
[JOSHUA]
The star was brightly shining
[GIRLS]
Like a neon light
[JOSHUA, GIRLS]
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son Favorite son
A fixture on the talkshows
To the silver screen To the silver screen
From here to Colorado
He's a sex machine He's a sex machine
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son It's your favorite son
But isn't it a drag? Oh no it's a drag it's such a
Isn't it a drag? Oh no it's a drag it's such a
Isn't it a drag? Drag
Its pretty but it's sad
But isn't it a drag? Sad but isn't it a drag?
A clean-cut All-American
But he ain't so clean Ain't so clean
His royal auditorium
It's a murder scene It's a murder scene
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son
But isn't it a drag? Oh no it's a drag it's such a
Isn't it a drag? Oh no it's a drag it's such a
Isn't it a drag? Drag
Its pretty but it's sad
But isn't it a drag? Sad but isn't it a drag?
Well no one says it's fair
Turn a teenage lush
To a millionaire To a millionaire
Now, where's your fuckin' champion?
On a panty raid
He's not the All-American
[ALL]
That you thought you paid
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son!
