Michael Ryan Pritchard (born May 4, 1972), known professionally as Mike Dirnt, is an American musician best known for being the bassist, backing and occasional lead vocalist, and co-founder of the American punk rock band Green Day. He has also played in several other bands, including The Frustrators. His stage name was originally a nickname from his friends at grade school, as he would constantly play "air bass" and make a "dirnt, dirnt, dirnt" noise while pretending to pluck the strings.
Early
As a child, his father was often away obtaining a degree at UC Berkeley, while his mother stayed at home to care for him and his sister Myla. Dirnt excelled in school despite missing classes, often as a result of various illnesses believed to be caused by his biological mother's drug use. After an argument between his parents resulted in a call to the police, the couple divorced. His mother and sister moved to Rodeo, while he stayed in El Sobrante with his father. However, missing his mother, he eventually moved in with her and Myla. Having been previously described as bright and fearless, Dirnt became sullen and withdrawn after the divorce.

Enough Is Enough
by: TorontoBeen waiting so long, you still haven't phoned
So many sleepless nights spent here all alone
I've had it to here, I'm gonna get my way
Don't try to pass it off, I mean what I say
Went out of your way making sure you had won
Took my love and went, looks like you had your fun
Didn't beat around, stood me up and left town
Took my lifeline away and you still can't be found
Enough is enough I just can't take it no more
Don't take no time to explain, I heard it all before
Enough is enough, I'm sick of being polite
Don't need a promise of love over the telephone
Enough is enough
A phone call will do if you can spare the dime
Don't call collect agai, I'll diconnect the line
Our party of two just got reduced in size
Time for me to go, don't appologize
Enough is enough I just can't take it no more
Don't take no time to explain, I've heard it all before
Enough is enough, I'm sick of being polite
Don't need a promise of love over the telephone
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Been waiting so long, you still haven't phoned
So many sleepless nights spent here all alone
I've had it to here, I'm gonna get my way
Don't try to pass it off, I mean what I say
Enough is enough I just can't take it no more
Don't take no time to explain, I've heard it all before
Enough is enough, I'm sick of being polite
Don't need a promise of love over the telephone
Enough is enough, ohhhhh, ohhhhhhhh, yeah
Enough is enough, Oooooh, ooooooooh, well
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
