Nimrod

NICE GUYS FINISH LAST
Self explanitory, the nice guy gets the shitty end of the stick.
HITCHIN' A RIDE
This song tells a story of sex and drugs while your world is crashing down.
THE GROUCH
This song is about what Billie Joe doesn't want to grow up and be like. It is also said that Billie wrote this song after he had a fight with Adrienne.
AND/OR....
The Grouch was generally about feeling older than you really are. After the Insomniac era, and Billie was tired as hell and just felt older then he really was.
REDUNDANT
Classic love song. Billie can't begin to explain his love in words for what he feels for Adrienne. Or this song could be about how repetative being famous is.
AND/OR....
He's talking about how things are redundant, making him sick, making him hate things, and feeling like he's lost in a circle. This happens frequently in relationships when people have been together for a long time. Their love is there, but it is redundant. Eventually, saying "I love you" is not enough because it gets routine, and you don't know what to say.
SCATTERED
Billie offering up all he can to his wife trying to gain her affection.
ALL THE TIME
This song is about trying to quit something like drugs or alcohol.
WORRY ROCK
Sorta like Scattered.
PLATYPUS ( I HATE YOU )
This song is about a person who gets pleasure out of seeing others in pain. Billie Joe wrote this about a magazine writer who trashed them after Dookie came out, during Kerplunk! He loved them they we're and would always be the best no matter what…but then he acted like an asshole, Billie decided to release on nimrod instead of insomniac because he felt it show him they've grown…but he died before the album came out. (from Green Day > UK)
UPTIGHT
This song is about a suicidal person who hates his life.
LAST RIDE IN
An instrumental song written during a soundcheck.
JINX
Jinx is about a girl who liked Billie.
HAUSHINKA
Billie met a girl named Haushinka in Japan a long time ago. He remembers her in this song.
WALKING ALONE
Puttings yourself in the position where you just want to be along.
REJECT
About the parent who's kid received Insomniac for a present from his grandma on his 8th birthday. The parent wrote a letter to Billie Joe objecting to the lyrics and saying that it wasn't music.
TAKE BACK
A song about not being able to forgive someone for what they did to him.
KING FOR A DAY

GOOD RIDDANCE ( TIME OF YOUR LIFE )
