Track 11 from Nimrod
Released 1997
Green Day has played this song live 2 times.
The narrator in this song is about to be subjected to some type of punishment, whether its emotionally or physically. We can tell that the person inflicting the punishment is someone who was formerly in love with the narrator, or has ties to him: "You've finally met your nemesis/Disguised as your fatal long-lost love." The narrator explains that he knows he is cursed, and that others around him will likely be as well. He also bitterly accepts whatever punishment he may receive.
I fucked up again it's all my fault
So turn me around and face the wall
Read me my rights and tell me I'm wrong
Until it gets into my thick skull
A slap on the wrist
A stab in the back
Torture me, I've been a bad boy
Nail me to the cross until you have won
I lost before I did any wrong
I'm hexed with regrets and bad luck
Keep you distance 'cause it's rubbing off
Or you will be damned to spend your life in hell
Or earth with me tangled at your feet
You finally met you nemesis disguised as your fatal long lost love
So kiss it good bye
Until death do we part
You fell for a jinx for crying out loud
I'm a curse hanging around you (x4)
