- Time Bomb LyricsIf you wanna make the move then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
Livin' and dyin' and the stories that are true
Secrets to a good life is knowin' when you're through
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
He's back in the hole where they got him livin'
Like a rat but he's smarter than that nine lives
Like a cat take him to the youth authority home
First thing you learn is that you got to make it
In this world alone
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Now he's gotten out, he's gotten free he's gotta go
Gotta car 21 years old, he's runnin' from the
Bar his pager's beepin' he's got in deep in
Whatever he can move on in you know that kid's a creepin'
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac
The boy's a time bomb, the boy's a time bomb
In tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below
His eye his mother cries, she knows that he is strong enough
To die he's rollin' in the Cadillac, it's midnight sunroof is down
Three shots rung out the herd's deal, the new King is crowned
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Oh time bomb

✔️
When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the creation process for Rancid's 'Time Bomb' single was based on the notion of death, particularly the death of a nonconformist, laicist, and hedonist that was illuminating and tempting death at the same time. The dark imagery is vivid throughout, but it also scores the parody of the above character's demise. The word this personification of the character gets, 'time bomb,' also denotes release and his end. Thus, the collective interpretation of the song could be that death is an inner struggle which the personified character goes through over the course of the lyrics. Although the singer does not actually die, it is stated indirectly that the person experiences despair, has no hope and isolates himself/herself from the open world and finally mental destruction. The song repeats this affirmation while additionally drawing attention to the moments of struggle and survival, youth and rebellion, and the toll of a perilous lifestyle. The lyrics cover violence, crime, and references to a troubled life which are not really kid-friendly under 13 years. The death of a character and the indications of a dangerous lifestyle hint at a maturity level that requires parental guidance.
