The Grouch (Live at the Electric Factory, Philadelphia 11/14/97) lyrics
by Green Day
[Intro]
This song's for you, this song’s called "The Grouch"
[Verse 1]
I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another sh*tty old man
I don't have fun and I hate everything
The world owes me, so f*ck you
Glory days don’t mean sh*t to me
I drank a six-pack of apathy
Life's a b*tch and so am I
The world owes me, so f*ck you
[Chorus]
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
[Verse 2]
I've decomposed, yet my gut's gettin' fat
Oh my God, I'm turnin' out like my dad
I'm always rude, I’ve got a bad attitude
The world owes me, so f*ck you
The wife’s a nag and the kid's f*ckin’ up
I don't have sex 'cause I can't get it up
I’m just a grouch sittin' on the couch
The world owes me, so f*ck you
[Chorus]
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
[Post-Chorus]
'Til I grew up
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another sh*tty old man
I don't have fun and I hate everything
The world owes me, so f*ck you
Glory days don't mean sh*t to me
I drank a six-pack of apathy
Life's a b*tch and so am I
The world owes me, so f*ck you
[Refrain]
The world owes me, so f*ck you
The world owes me, so f*ck you
[Outro]
The world owes me, so f*ck you
[Interlude]
Get naked!
What? (Get naked!)
I am not getting naked tonight, no
Okay, I'll do it
You gotta wait, though
How many of you guys out there have small di*ks?
Yeah, everybody's all, "Tsk, not me!"
sh*t
All you guys out there, you got di*ks this big, just f*cking admit it
Yeah, man, but I'm only this big, that's like, my whole body, you know?
Hey, don't underestimate an inch
What's that?
Anyways, this next song comes off a record called Dookie
This song's called "Chump", alright
