Hey Kid Lyrics
Lyin' here, arm around my girl,
I turn on the radio.
A shame we had to bail,
You know we put on quite a show.
What'm I gonna do?
I left on my answer phone,
Till then, what I told you -
Right now, I just don't know.
And I said,
Hey! Kid!
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own.
I said it's all right.
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along trying to be nobody else,
It's god-damned right, you know!
Every day will break,
But another comes along.
Won't have long to wait,
And you've always got that song.
It's funny when you're drunk (funny when you're drunk!)
How everything is clear.
"Come check out my bum!"
Can get the rock right out of here.
And I said,
Hey! Kid!
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own.
I said it's all right.
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along tryin' to be nobody else,
It's god-damned right, you know!
Feelin' so much better in this frame of mind,
'Cause I've been sick of taking over all the good guitars
And I know (and you know) I'm a capable guy.
I got so many things I wanted to do
And I got the chance to prove it to you!
Hey - I'm lyin' (I'm lyin'!) 'cause I waited my life
And I am ready to blow,
But when I do something about the wind and rain,
They start all over again,
And I need some pieces from you!
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own.
I said it's all right.
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along tryin' to be nobody else,
It's god-damned right, you know!

These lyrics are wrong.. But the song is definately about the split of Busted.
'It's a shame we had to bail, you know we put on quite a show,' This is him saying that he thinks it's 'a shame' that Busted had to end as they did, and they were good while they lasted.
'What am I gonna do?' Obviously him lamenting about what to do next, wondering if he has a career without Busted.
The correct line instead of ''Cause I've been sick of taking over all the good guitars' is 'Cause I've been sick of thinking over all the difficult times,' hich clearly means that things had been strained within the band and he wants to remember the good tmes rather than the bad.
'I'm ready to start all over again,' This is Matt saying he is stepping up and moving on from Busted.
'And I need some pieces from you' is actually 'patience,' blatantly talking to Charlie Simpson (who left Busted and effectively broke the band up.)
That's my take on it, anyway.
Blatantly about Charlie Simpson's departure from Busted.
I agree with spacexoddity
For the chorus Hey kid
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah! It happens on its own. -He doesn't expect him to live a lie in Busted doing something he doesn't believe in
I said it's all right.
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!) You don't get along tryin' to be nobody else, It's god-damned right, you know! -He's not going to get anywhere trying to be somebody he's not
Everyone else is pretty much correct, Charlie leaving.
It's a shame, I wouldn't say Fightstar do bad, But there success is & will never be anything compared to Busted's.
