GREEN DAY

- Walking Contradiction Lyrics

Do as I say not as I do because
The shit's 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
I'm a victim of a catch 22

I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right

Do as I say not as I do because
The shit's 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 right

I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right

When we think about what all of this might truly mean, Green Day's 'Walking Contradiction' is a very deep song dealing with the topic of hypocrisy and self-awareness where the artist uses the metaphor of a 'walking contradiction' at the center of this to concentrate on the mismatch of one's words with his deeds. Walking contradiction lyrics are primarily focused on aspects such as angst, reflection, despair, social commentary, and anger. Besides, the song is also very much about the issues of hypocrisy, contradiction, chaos, and disorder along with the humanbeset by conflicting selves.
