一首原本应该是秋天听的歌曲，很耐听的声音，来自于绿日乐队（Green days）。有些苍凉的声音，来自于歌曲Boulevard Of Broken Dreams（梦碎林荫道）。有报道说，正是美国进行的伊拉克战争带给这些音乐人以灵感，让他们找到了宣泄感情的契机：战争之后的痛苦、无助，不是更接近、更贴近生命原本的那些怅惘么。这首歌曲所在的专辑呢名称叫做American Idiot’美国白痴，配上了手持淌血手榴弹的封面。这首歌曲呢将绿日乐队对现在社会、媒体混乱现象的不满，毫无保留赤裸地呈现出来！而这首强力散发无助呐喊的梦碎之作"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" MV更是获得了极大的成功。
【歌词】
I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes, but it's home and I walk alone
I walk this empty street on the Boulevard of our broken dreams
Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk aloneI walk alone, I walk alone, I walk alone, I walk a ...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone
I'm walking down the line that divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines of what's fucked up and every thing's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone, I walk alone, I walk a ...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone. I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk this empty street on the Boulevard of our broken dreams
Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone
