The Grouch Lyrics

I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun and I hate everything
This world owes me so fuck you

Glory days don't mean shit to me
I drank a six pack of apathy
Life's a bitch and so am I
The world owes me so fuck you

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

I've decomposed yet my gut's getting fat
Oh my God, I'm turning out like my Dad
I'm always rude, I've a bad attitude
The world owes me so fuck you

The wife's a nag and the kids fucking up
I don't have sex 'cause I can't get it up
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch
The world owes me so fuck you

This song is so fucking great. I love it! I think he's saying he doesn't want to be old, be a "grouch." He wants to stay young and be himself, optimistic. He's saying his dad was old and a grouch I'm guessing. Nothing went the way he planned... so he thinks the world owes him. I think most of us feel that at one point or another. amazing song

He's singin of the fact of life, no matter how hard you try you always end up fucked sooner or later, the world owes me so FUCK YOU!

Cover art for The Grouch lyrics by Green Day

yeah, this song is about you getting fucked up after wishing and wanting so much to become something you wanted to be, and even if you did become what you wanted, it's not what you wanted in the end.
