Let Yourself Go

Green Day Released 2012

Song Meaning

The message for this song in the ¡Uno! deluxe lyric book is: "How much can I pay you not to finish your story? You keep telling the same story over & over & over & over & over & over & over punch me in the fucking face!"

This song bluntly expresses frustration with annoying people. The people targeted by the narrator are those who don't know when to shut up. The narrator even says that he'd "rather get punched in the face" than continue to listen to pointless jabber. He "lets himself go," so to speak, because he feels that if he doesn't rid his mind of thoughts about these people, he'll explode.

Lyrics

Shut your mouth 'cause you're talking too much
And I don't give a damn anyway
You always seem to be stepping in shit
And all you really do is complain

It's your lie, tell it how you like
Small minds tend to think alike
Shut your mouth 'cause you're talking too much
And I don't give a fuck anyway

Let yourself go
Gotta let it go

Cut the crap 'cause you're screaming in my ear
And you're taking up all of the space
You're really testing my patience again
And I'd rather get punched in the face

You're getting on my very last nerve
Everything you've said I've already heard
I'm sick to death of your every last breath
And I don't give a fuck anyway

Let yourself go
Gotta let it go

Always fuck fuckin' with my head now
Always fuck fuckin' with my head now
Always fuck fuckin' with my head now
Always fuckin' with my head and I gotta let it go

Let yourself go
Gotta let it go
