You come around every now and then
Your thoughts are different but you're still the same
Why else would you come here
Scumbag on a mission
You're telling me that it's been a while
Shit-eating grin and a brand new lie
Somebody let you come here
Scumbag with permission
Never thought I'd see the likes of you around this place
What's the special occasion
Did you run out of friends
Here you are coming round again
And things are different but you still pretend
You got a reason to come here
Scumbag with ambition
And now your telling me that things have changed
And you'll be leaving in a couple days
Your gonna change your world someday
Scumbag with a vision
It must be nice to know you got it all figured out
But from where I'm sitting
It's the same thing again and again
You never stop to think before you open up your mouth
Cause everytime you do
It's the same thing again and again
Your thoughts are different but you're still the same
Why else would you come here
Scumbag on a mission
You're telling me that it's been a while
Shit-eating grin and a brand new lie
Somebody let you come here
Scumbag with permission
What's the special occasion
Did you run out of friends
And things are different but you still pretend
You got a reason to come here
Scumbag with ambition
And now your telling me that things have changed
And you'll be leaving in a couple days
Your gonna change your world someday
Scumbag with a vision
But from where I'm sitting
It's the same thing again and again
Cause everytime you do
It's the same thing again and again

This song is actually about someone who "Comes around every now and then" and he mooches off of all his family members and friends. He comes around every now and then with some bullshit speech, and he convinces them that he just needs a tiny favor, and he'll pay them back, and, i don't know, every family has one relative like that.
ok, i'm adding to this. Mike wrote Scumbag...its detailed in the Shenanigans liner notes I believe. He's written that, Eminus Sleepus, JAR, and Ha Ha You're Dead.
I think the line that says "Shit eating green and I'm begging by" should be "shit-eating grin and a brand new lie" anyway.. great song! one of my favorites
Yeah, it is, the website i got the lyrics from were messed up. Sorry about that
I'll have to say that I really like this song. It reminds me of a lot of people that I know
This song is so rad, and its just about an outcast trying to fit in by changing who and what he is. Another brilliant craft by Billie Joe!
dude.... mike wrote scumbag.
dude no he didnt. who ever told you that was smokin' something i want.
and most/all of panic song as well. Mo Rocco is a dumbass J.
the heard scumbag was on the american pie two. everyday i listen to it!!!!!!!!!!!, my favorite is when billie says scumbag on a mission.
