Nimrod

Green Day Nimrod Lyrics
1.Nice Guys Finish Last

Nice guys finish last
You're running out of gas
Your sympathy will get you left behind
Sometimes you're at your best
When you look the worst
Do you feel washed up
Like piss going down the drain
(Chorus)
Pressure cooker pick my brain
And tell me I'm insane
I'm so fucking happy I could cry
Every joke can have it's truth
But now the joke's on you
I never knew you're such a funny guy
Oh, nice guys finish last
When you are the outcast
Don't pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine

Living on command
You're shaking lots of hands
You're kissing up and bleeding all your trust
Taking what you need
Bite the hand that feeds
You lose your memory and you got no shame


2.Hitchin' A Ride

Hey mister, where you headed
Are you in a hurry
I need a lift to happy hour
Say oh no
Do you break for distilled spirits
I need a break as well
The well that inebriates the guilt
One, two, one, two, three, four

Cold turkey's getting stale
Tonight I'm eating crow
Fermented salmonella
Poison oak no
There's a drought a the fountain of youth
Now I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say one, two, one, two, three, four
(Chorus)
Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitching a ride

There's a drought at the fountain of youth
Now I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say...........SHITE!!!


3.The Grouch

(Chorus)
I was a young boy
That had big plans
Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun
And I hate everything
The world owes me so fuck you

Glory days don't mean shit to me
I drank a six pack of apathy
Life's a bitch and so am I
The world owes me so fuck you
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
I've decomposed yet my gut's getting fat
Oh my god, I'm turning out like my dad
I'm always rude, I've got a bad attitude
The world owes me so fuck you

The wife's a nag and the kid's fucking up
I don't have sex cause I can't get it up
I'm always rude, I've got a bad attitude
The world owes me so fuck you


4.Redundant

We're living in repetition
Content in the same old shtick again
Now routine's turning to contention
Like a production line going over and over
Roller coaster
(Chorus)
Now I cannot speak
I lost my voice
Speechless and redundant
Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words

Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were
One full circle 'til I'm nauseous
Taken for granted now
Now I waste it, faked it, ate it, now I hate it


5.Scattered

I've got some scattered pictures
Lying on my bedroom floor
Reminds me of the times we shared
Makes me wish that you were there
Now it's seems I've forgotten
My purpose in this life
Well, all the songs have been erased
Guess I've learned from mistakes
(Chorus)
Open the past and present
Now and we are there
Story to tell and I am listening
Open the past and present
And the future too
It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you

Loose ends tied in knots
Leaving a lump down in my throat
Gagging on a souvenir
Lodged to fill another year
I'll drag it on and on
Until my skin is ripped to shreds
Leaving myself open wide
Living out a sacrifice

If you got no one
And you got no place to go
Will it be alright
Will it be alright


6.All the Time

All the time
Everytime I need it
What's the time
I'd say the time is right
Here's to me
Let's find another reason
Down the hatch and a bad attitude
Salud
Wasting time
Wasting time
Down a bumfuck road
And I don't know where the hell it'll go
Heirlooms
And huffing fumes
And I'm picking up the pace
And I'm gonna smash straight into a wall

All the time
A new year's resolution
How soon that we forgot
Doing time
Loving every minute
Live it up all on another letdown
Salud
Promises
Promises
It was all set it stone
Cross my heart and I hope to die
Sugar fix
Dirty tricks
And a trick question
Guess I should have read between the lines

All the time
Having the time of my life
Watching the clock tick
All the time
Where did all the time go
It's too late to say goodnight
Time flies
When you're having fun, yeah.
Time's up when you work like a dog
Salud


7.Worry Rock

Another sentimental argument
And bitter love
Fucked without a kiss again
Dragged it through the mud
Yelling at brick walls and
Punching windows made of stone
The worry rock has turned to dust
And fallen on our pride
(Chorus)
A knocked down
Dragged out fight
Fat lips and open wounds
Another wasted night
And no one will take the fall

Where do we go from here
And what did you do with the directions
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road


8.Platypus

Your rise and fall
Back up against the wall
What goes around you
Is coming back and haunting you
It's time to quit
Cause you ain't worth a shit
Under my shoes or the piss on the ground
(Chorus)
No one loves you
And you know it
Don't pretend that you enjoy it
Or you don't care
Cause now I wouldn't lie
Or tell you all the things you wanna hear
I HATE YOU
I HATE YOU
I HATE YOU

I heard you're sick
Sucked on that cancer stick
A throbbing tumor and a radiation high
Shit out of luck
And now your time is up
It brings me pleasure
Just to know you're gonna die
Dickhead
Fuckface
Cock smoking
Mother fucking
Asshole
Dirty twat
Waste of semen
I hope you die

Red eye, code blue
I'd like to strangle you
And watch your eyes
Bulge right out of your skull
When you go down
Head first into the ground
I'll stand above you just to piss on your grave


9.Uptight

I woke up on the wrong side of the floor
Made, made my way through the front door
Broke my engagement with myself
Perfect picture of bad health
Another notch stratched on my belt
The future ain't just what it used to be

I got a new start on a dead end road
Peaked, peaked out on reaching new lows
Owed, I paid off all my debts to myself
Perfect picture of bad health
Another notch stratched on my belt
The future's in my living room
(Chorus)
Uptight
I'm a nag with a gun, yeah
All night
Suicide's last call
I've been uptight
All night
I'm a son of a gun


10.Last Ride In

(Instrumental)


11.Jinx

I fucked up again
It's all my fault
So turn me around
And face the wall
Read me my rights
And tell me I am wrong
Until it gets into my thick skull
A slap on the wrist
A stab in the back
Torture me
I've been a bad boy
Nail me to the cross
Until you have won
I lost before I did any wrong

I'm hexed with regrets
And bad luck
Keep your distance
It's rubbing off
Or you will be damned
To spend your life in hell
Or earth with me
Tangled at your feet
You finally met your nemesis
Disguised as your
Fatal long lost love
So kiss it goodbye
Until death do we part
You fell for a jinx
For crying out load
(Outro)
Bad luck is cornered around you
Bad luck is cornered around you


12.Haushinka

Haushinka was a girl
With a pecuilar name
I met her on the eve
Of my birthday
Did she know
Before she went away
Does she know
But it's too damn late
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone

All I have now
Is a memory to date
A cheap hat and cigarettes
And a pecuilar name
I didn't know
Before she went away
I know now
That it's too damn late

Will she ever find her way
I'm too damn young to be too late
But am I
Yet again I'm kicking myself
And I'll be here in battle scars
Waiting for you
Waiting for you now


13.Walking Alone

Come together like a foot in a shoe
Only this time I think I stuck my foot in my mouth
Thinking out loud and acting in vain
Knocking over anyone that stands in my way
(Chorus)
Sometimes I need to apologize
Sometimes I need to admit that I ain't right
Sometimes I should just keep my mouth
Or only say hello
Sometimes I still feel I'm walking alone

Walk on eggshells on my old stomping ground
Yet there's really no one that's hanging around
Isn't that another familiar face
Too drunk to figure they're fading away


14.Reject

Who the hell are to tell me
What I am and what's my master plan
What makes you think that it includes you
Self-righteous wealth, stop flattering yourself
(Chorus)
So when the smoke clears
Here I am
You're reject all-American
Sucking up your social sect
Making you a nervous wreck
To hell and back and hell again I've gone
You're not my type

What's the difference between you and me
I do what I want and you do what you're told
So listen up, shut the hell up
It ain't no big deal and I'll see you in hell


15.Take Back

You pushed me once too far again
I'd love to break your fucking teeth
Stick a knife in the center of your back
You better grow some eyes in the back of your head
I fight dirty, just like your looks
Can't take, can't take, can't take anymore
Take back, take back, take

The taste of bad blood on the tip of my tounge
An eye for an eye,a gun for a gun
Cold-cocked and I'm taking back what's mine
Expect when you're least expecting it
No loss of love, the smell of regret
Lights out, can't take it anymore
SHITE!!!


16.King For A Day

Started at the age of four
My mother went to the grocery store
Went sneaking through her bedroom door
To find something in a size four
(Chorus)
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
Wasn't meant for only girls
G.I. Joe in pantyhose
Is making room for the one only
King for a day
Princess by dawn
King for a day
In a leather thong
Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me

My daddy threw me in therapy
He thinks I'm not a real man
Who put the drag in the drag queen
Don't knock it until you've tried it


17.Time of Your Life

Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the belt
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time
(Chorus)
It's something unpredictable
But in the end there's right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs
And stillframes in your mind
Hang it on a shelf
Of good health and good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while


18.Prosthetic Head

I see you
Down in the front line
Such a sight for sore eyes
You're a suicide makevoer
Plastic eyes
Looking through a numbskull
Self effaced, what's his face
You erased yourself, so shut up
You don't let up
(Chorus)
You have a growth that must be treated
Like a severed severe pain in the neck
You can smell but you can't see it
No explanation identified cause
You don't know You don't say and you got no reply

Hey you
Where did you come from
Got a head full of lead
You're an inbred bastard's son
All dressed up
Red blooded, a mannequin
Do or die
No reply, don't deny
That you're synthetic
You're pathetic
