Smoothed Out Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 My favourite has to be the second performance J'net posted on the Australian tv show...one of the best interviews/performances ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeefaa. Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I think we can all agree that "Life's a bitch, and so am I, the world owes me, so fuck you" is just pure poetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hmm... I like the song, but I can't really say I like it. That doesn't make sense. Like, it's a cool song with cool lyrics and cool music and I like that, but it's not a likeable song. Or rather, the singer/narrator (whether that be Billie or someone else) isn't likeable. It's a great song. To me, I kind of see it as a warning (not literally), like, "don't become/don't be like that". As much as "Life's a bitch and so am I, the world owes me, so fuck you" is great and everything, I don't want to be like that. It's relateable (?), though. Jesus Christ I'm seriously overusing the word "like" xD and I generally can't seem to say what I want to say.. I misheard the line "the world owes me so fuck you" for like a year. I heard is as something like "the world's a piece of a cue/queue" (without thinking about what it would mean) and even though I sorta knew the real lyric, I just didn't hear it so I didn't remember it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1039SmoothGreenDayFan Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 this song speaks to me in so many ways when im angry i put it on repeat in my itunes and listen to it like 20 times the main lyrics that apply to me in any situation is 'i don't have fun and i hate everything' to me, there is very little i like, i NEVER have fun (am always depressed) and hate everything, theres very little things i like.

Velocity Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I was listening to this the other day, and for some reason the line, "Now I'm just another shitty old man" kept making me giggle. /contributes nothing to the conversation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe6464 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I remember listening to this song after a really bad day a couple of years ago, I was just pissed off and argued with everyone, and listened to this to escape from it, great song to let out your anger favourite lines are "oh my god I'm turning old like my dad" and "I don't have sex cos I can't get it up" just cos they're quite funny and you can hear the despair in his voice when he sings in IMO anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdpony Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 This song is just amazing! it's fun and it's also so bitter at the same time! the second video is one of my favorite green day videos of all time, I just love how they take the stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlee Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 "The world owes me so fuck you!" Only geniuses can write a song with that lyric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrizotti Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Totally bitter (and funny and catchy too!). One of my favorites of Nimrod. Makes me think that oh my god, I can't turn it out like my dad! EPIC lines like "life's a bitch and so am I/The world owes me so fuck you" and "Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals. I had a young and optimisitic point of view". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 LOVE this song. Realizing you're becoming things you never wanted to become and getting stuck in a rut, and feeling so bitter about it all there is to be said is a grumpy "fuck you!". And it's done in such a humourous way, it's a hilarious song. Love the line "I don't have sex cause I can't get it up" . It's that catchy sound and great sense of humour along with deliciously bitter and negative lyrics again. One of the best songs on my (joint) favourite album of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Vicky Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 One of my favorite songs. I love it and its so true!! Billie is genius. This song always makes me shout and run around. All the lyrics are awesome but my favorites are- "The world owes me so fuck you" and "I don't have sex cause I can't get it up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuropeanIdiot Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The Grouch's kinda my theme song, I guess. I love the lines: "Glory days don't mean shit to me, I drank a six-pack of apathy." Oh gosh, I love Billie's lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dude Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The Grouch is by far my favorite song on Nimrod. It's horribly melancholic, but extremely upbeat. It's freakin' awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain peroxide Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Fucking love this song. That's about all I have to say. Love the lyrics, love the chord progression. Probably in my top three Nimrod songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarabeth Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I had this song playing in my mind all morning! I love it. Right now Im obsessing over Nimrod and all it's songs. I remember last summer when my grandma was at my house I felt the need to blast this song. I dont know why I wanted to but I did it. My parents weren't very happy. They said I was being disrespectful. I put it on repeat after that. That interview was one of the first ones I ever saw. I thought Green Day were pretty fuckin awesome after watching it. I love how the host is like "c'mon! its live!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JadedHaushinka Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I do love this song. I keep saying ''The world owes me, so fuck you'' randomly almost every day. Weird ikr, but I do like that line the most for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
