  • Hey, little kid
    Did you wake up late one day and
    You're not so young, but you're still dumb
    And you're numb to your old glory but now it's gone

    I fell in love, but it didn't catch your fall
    Then I crashed, into a wall
    Then I fell to pieces on the floor
    Now you're sick to death

    Bombs away, here goes nothing
    The shouting's over
    Hey X-Kid, bombs away
    Here goes nothing
    The shouting's over and out
    Over and out again

    I once was old enough
    To know better, man I was too young to care
    Many cares, probably would but
    Hollywood is dead and gone

    You fell in love but then you just fell apart
    Like a kick in the head
    You're an X-Kid and you never even got started again

    Bombs away, here goes nothing
    The shouting's over
    Hey X-Kid, bombs away
    Here goes nothing
    The shouting's over and out
    Over and out

    And you were such a young soul
    And you got lost and out of control
    You went over the edge of joking
    And I have a broken heart

    Hey, little kid
    Did you wake up late one day and
    You're not so young, but you're still dumb
    You're an X-Kid and you never even got started again

    Bombs away, here goes nothing
    The shouting's over
    Hey X-Kid, bombs away
    Here goes nothing
    The shouting's over
    Hey X-Kid, bombs away
    Here goes nothing
    The shouting's over
    Hey X-Kid, bombs away
    Here goes nothing
    The shouting's over and out
    Over and out
    Over and over and out Writer/s: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tre Cool
