In the End Lyrics

All brawn and no brains
And all those nice things
And you finally got what you want
Someone to look good with
And light your cigarette
Is this what you really want?

I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see so
I hope I won't be there in the end
if you come around

How long will he last
Before he's a creep in the past
And you're alone once again?
Will you pop up again
And be my special friend
'Till the end?
And when will that be?

I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see
I hope I won't be there in the end
if you come around

I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see so
I hope I won't be there in the end
if you come around

Cover art for In the End lyrics by Green Day

Out of Billie Joe Armstrong's perspective of this song, "In The End," is about his mother's sexual life and the ugly, terrifying men she brought home with her. Billie has even said his mom would be viewed like a prostitute by these fakes and shitbags. The first line of the song, "All brawn and no brains," represents her naive love life. The rest of the song explains this, such as the chorus,

"I figured out what you're all about And I don't think I like what I see So I hope I won't be there in the end If you come around"

that Billie really thinks his mom has been fucked up since Billie's dad died, when he was ten with his other six siblings.

I agree with ^ this person

It's about Billie's mother and the man she's been seeing with, yes. Similar than Why do you want him. He said that in an interview.

Billie wrote this song for his Mother. Billie's father died when he was about 10/11 so whilst growing up he was used to seeing his Mother with other men, and was rather sick of it all!
