Scumbag
♥ Green Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your clothes are different but you're still the same
Why else would you come here?
Scumbag on a mission
You're telling me that it's been awhile
Shit eating grin and a brand new lie
Somebody let you come here
Scumbag with permission
Never thought I'd see
The likes of you around this place
What's the special occasion?
Did you run out of friends?
Here you are, comin' 'round again
And things are different but you still pretend
You've got a reason to come here
Scumbag with ambition
And now you're telling me that things have changed
And you'll be leavin' in a couple of days
You're gonna change the world someday
Scumbag with a vision
It must be nice to know
You've got it all figured out
But from where I'm sittin'
It's the same thing again and again
You never stop to think
Before you open up your mouth
Cause every time you do
It's the same thing again and again
In Green Day's song Scumbag, the lyrics describe a person who comes around every so often with a different appearance but the same old lies and motives. The term "scumbag" is used to describe them as someone who is always up to no good and causing trouble wherever they go. The lyrics suggest that the person is on a mission or has ambition to achieve something, yet they constantly lie and deceive others to get what they want.
The chorus of the song questions the true intentions of this individual, wondering why they always come back and pretend to have changed. The lyrics suggest that this person has a history of running out of friends, indicating that they may have burned bridges in the past. The bridge of the song speaks directly to this person, pointing out that they never stop to think before speaking and just repeat the same pattern of behavior over and over again.
The song's title alone suggests that the person being described is not a positive influence, and the lyrics support this. The song is a commentary on people who use others for their own personal gain and are not truthful in their interactions. The upbeat tempo and catchy melody contrast with the darker subject matter, making it an interesting and unique addition to Green Day's discography.

I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying
And your hands they shake with goodbyes
And I'll take you back if you'd have me
So here I am, I'm trying
So here I am, are you ready?
Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you, all night
Always
And I'll miss your laugh, your smile
I'll admit I'm wrong if you'd tell me
I'm so sick of fights, I hate them
Let's start this again for real
So here I am, I'm trying
So here I am, are you ready?
So here I am, I'm trying
So here I am, are you ready?
Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you, all night
Always
Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you, all night
Always
I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying
Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you, all night
Always
Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you, all night
Always
Always
Always
