Walking Contradiction Lyrics
Do as I say not as I do because
The shit so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
I'm a smart-ass but I'm playing dumb
Standards set and broken all the time
Control the chaos behind a gun
Call it as I see it even if
I was born deaf blind and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
A victim of a catch 22
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no rights
Do as I say not as I do because
The shit so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
I'm a smart-ass but I'm playing dumb
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no rights
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no rights
The shit so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
I'm a smart-ass but I'm playing dumb
Control the chaos behind a gun
Call it as I see it even if
I was born deaf blind and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
A victim of a catch 22
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no rights
The shit so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
I'm a smart-ass but I'm playing dumb
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no rights
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no rights

This song refers to people who are full of shit, dishonest and hypocritical folks basically. It reminds me of a girl who gave every impression of being into me yet ultimately was just using me physically and emotionally to feel better about herself. I listen to it when I wanna tune in with the resentment I feel about that.
Billie Joe Armstrong is such a good song writter and this song proves it. "Talk is cheap and lies are expensive" Man isn't that the truth?
I totally agree with you! I often find beautiful stanza like this is many of their songs. I can't help but think "Holy crap, how does this man think of this stuff?!"
