[Green Day - One Eyed Bastard lyrics]

I'm making an offer that you cannot deny
You won't be laughing when I'm making you cry
'Cause, ay-oh! I hear the pleas get louder
You son of a bitch, you're gonna beg and cower

Vendetta is a friend of mine
Revenge is sweeter than wine
I never asked to hear your god-damned feelings
Get on your knees when you are kissing my ring

Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom

Well, I can remember all the bad memories
I never forget a face that's quite so ugly
Ay-oh! Lost yеars are wasted
I always liked you, but I'm glad that you'rе all dead

Vendetta is a friend of mine
Revenge is sweeter than wine
I never asked to hear your god-damned feelings
Get on your knees when you are kissing my ring

Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom


I'm making an offer that you cannot deny
You won't be laughing when I'm making you cry
'Cause, ay-oh! I hear the pleas get louder
You son of a bitch, you're gonna beg and cower

Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom

About the song Green Day - One Eyed Bastard

Green Day, the iconic punk rock band, has once again set the music scene ablaze with their latest release. The untitled track, with a sound reminiscent of their classic punk roots, has stirred up a myriad of reactions among fans.

For many listeners, the song is an instant hit, a "banger" that captures the essence of Green Day's signature style. Fans express excitement, claiming it to be a worthy addition to the band's extensive catalog of hits. One enthusiast even anticipates the electrifying experience of hearing the song live in a stadium, with the entire crowd joining in on the catchy chorus.

However, not all feedback is equally positive. Some listeners draw parallels between the song's intro riff and Pink's "So What," raising questions about originality. The comparison fuels debates among fans, with one side defending the band's creative choices, while others argue that the resemblance is too close for comfort.

The use of public domain material in the music video, featuring Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse, has become a focal point of discussion. Fans acknowledge this as a clever move, taking advantage of Mickey's newfound public domain status. The visual representation adds an interesting layer to the song's reception.

Political undertones are not lost on the audience, as a few long for the days of Green Day's more politically charged music. The sentiment seems to be divided between those who appreciate the band's evolution and those yearning for a return to their roots.

Interestingly, the track also prompts comparisons to the band's previous album, "Father of All Motherfuckers" Some listeners express concern that the new release shares too much similarity with the sound of the aforementioned album, hoping for a departure and a return to the band's earlier works.

In the midst of varied opinions, there's a consensus on the anticipation for the upcoming album, set to release on the 19th 2024. Fans are eager to see how the rest of the tracks will shape up and whether the band will deliver a cohesive and compelling musical experience.
