Green Day - Brat Lyrics

Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
They're getting over the hill
Death is closing in and catching up
As far as I can tell
Got a plan of action and cold blood
And it smells of defiance
I'll just wait for Mom and Dad to die
And got my inheritance

Well now I want more
'Cause I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
Now it's all figured out
Nothing good can last

Crows feet and rot are setting in
And time is running out
My parent's income interest rate
Is gaining higher clout
I'm a snot nosed slob
Without a job
And I know I darn well should
Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
But my future's looking good

Well now I want more
'Cause I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
Now it's all figured out
Nothing good can last

Well now I want more
'Cause I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
Now it's all figured out
Nothing good can last

I own everything from green day

Obviously, the narrator of the song is a brat that's waiting for his parents to die so he gets all their money. He feels no shame about expecting his parents' death with pleasure and excitement - he's bored and all he wants is all the money he doesn't have to work for.



By playing a part of this horrible spoiled child, the author of the song is expressing his opinion about some of the people who were born with a silver spoon and never had to work for all the luxuries they get. They don't have to have a job, don't have to struggle and work day and night to pay their rent - their parents give them a free ride to a rich life. Now, of course, not all kids with rich parents end up like the narrator of Brat, but those who actually do are out there waiting with an anxious smile - "Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days, and my future's looking good".

So that’s the meaning to this song

From songmeanings.com

I think Billie said this song was specifically about what he feared his own kid (Joey) would become knowing that he was now a multimillionaire.

Sorry, this name is restricted. Insomniac and American idiot will always be my favorite Green Day Albums ❤️❤️❤️

this is the perfect song to go 60 down a side street to

His mum and dad made 64 accounts to dislike this

Hmmm this is pop punk! Always has been alway will be! Not true punk!

Pop versus True. Yeah, you're so 1991, quit bitching and write some better songs than this (good luck.)

So, every wannabe punk rocker on the internet claims. Yet, the Ramones, the Clash, Bad Religion, the Buzzcocks, you name it all have sung their praises for Green Day as a punk band. But what do the Godfathers of the genre know?

@Sorry, this name is restricted. At their stage in the game, Green Day have no reason to care about whether they're "real" punk or not. They're very well-known for having lots of great music that people have loved for years; and in the long run, that's the part that matters.

@Devil's Offspring Of course you're absolutely correct. I just find it funny that the average Joe on the internet calls them fake, not-punk yada yada, but the godfathers of punk recognise Green Day as such.

When my mom wont let me play FS19 before bed....

This song isnt long enough its too good

Today’s music don’t look so hot these days it’s getting over the hill!

Yikes...is that legal :/

I understand disliking videos but why songs? If you don’t like the song, don’t listen and Green Day is the bomb

mom and dad don't look so hot these day
dadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadada
dadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadada
what those are the lyrics right?

This is my theme song recently

Just wait 'til you're in your 40s like me, then you'll REALLY feel this shit. Come on and croak already, I need the dough! hehehehe

Literally a 3 chord song xD

Well technically four because of the end of the chorus

This album easily contains my favourite Mike Dirnt basslines

Dookie had some great basslines too, Insomniac is similar to Dookie in that way.

Good song to listen to when your parents are dicks

Because??

Me when my parents don't let me play Minecraft after 9:00 P.M.

Are you like 7?

@Iron Maiden 666 no, hes a man of culture

@Dr. P Lankton Ah

This song is about wanting your parents to die so you can get some inheritance, so....

@Bennett Cravillion To get minecraft

To my parents when I’m acting real rebellious and they call me a brat to that.

I only like the beginning of this XD

28 people are parents.

Wow, really? I didn't know! Are you sure there's only 28 parents?

I think people liked their old stuff better cus they could relate way more to it.

Evelyn GD I agree with you on that

They don't have the original Greenday style now they have a different sounding style

Ever since I bought this CD, this and the "Dude Ranch" album by Blink-182 are my two favorite albums.

i dont really get why people dislike this,i mean srsly if was your choice to click on and listen to the song so like whaaaat??

Insomniac is my favorite album the song Makes Me Wanna thrash around

Great album!

Bass gives me an eargasm

Insomniac! 💩💩💩💩

Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
They're getting over the hill
Death is closing in and catching up

And got my inheritance

Well now I want more
'Cause I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt

Thank you

everyone gets all mad when people post the lyrics from Google but tbh that way you can act like you know the lyrics without having to go off of the song lol

DoReMi Melody DoReMi Melody true but to be honest there are things that are overwhelmingly obviously wrong. "but it's all figured out." "But" not "well". that "well" can go right before "nothing good can last." you know cause that's the way old Billie the Strongarm Joe sings it.

he’s saying damn you nimrod

I play this song when my mom and dad call me a brat. then I leave my house and scream "Shenanigans!" in people's window's

THIS SONG IS BADASS!!!!!!!!!!

so goooood

takes me back to the good days!!!

why would people dislike it?!

Those people listen to Nickleback. It’s okay, their all gone now, the governments got em.

@Mason Harmatiuk but the government shut down

Emo Punk Trash oh hey I see you comment on ARTV’s videos :)

Because it isn't Dookie.

no body gives a shit what number you are fuck you and love the music

Thank you for saying that. I wish I could give you the thumbs up more than once. They must be teenagers

Blake Walker and u must be a grumpy old man

Fricking amazing song
