¡UNO!
Troublemaker
Song Meaning
The message for this song in the ¡Uno! deluxe lyric book is: "✓ Beach ✓ Douchebags ✓ Sluts ✓ Bars ✓ Tattoo shops. How convenient!"
Billie Joe (Total Guitar, 2012): “Troublemaker and Rusty James are kind of like a fuck you to the old punk scene and the old guard a little bit. There are so many people who get to our age and they become bitter, and maybe their life isn’t going the way they want it to. That’s what those songs are about. There’s a fine line between being an angry young man and being a bitter old fart, you know?”
Fan interpretation: "The overall theme in this song is definitely strong lust. Lines like, 'you're giving me a heart attack' and 'I wanna get inside of you,' among others, illustrate this. The narrator sees this girl repeatedly in public, and his lust for her grows every time. In comparison to other songs on this album, the narrator knows that he can get this girl, rather than having to fight for her. Maybe that speaks for her sexual demeanor, as well... if you catch my drift."

Lyrics
Hey! You're giving me a heart attack
You're giving me a cardiac arrest
When I'm sitting at the traffic light
Hey! I wanna get inside of you
I wanna crack your cranium
Delirium on the lower east side of your mind
I wanna be your troublemaker
Hey! I like your BMW
I like your BMX-cellent tits
With a tattoo of a pig sniffing glue
Hey! You're living at the W
You're looking like a Jezebel hot as hell
Sunburnt in a pink bathing suit
I wanna be your troublemaker
Easy cum and go
Gonna go it alone
Knock yourself out with a shot of Patr�n
I wouldn't say I'm straight
Cause I'm bent out of shape
From now 'til death do we party
Just before it's too late
Hey! You're giving me a heart attack
You're giving me a cardiac arrest
When I'm sitting at the traffic light
You're giving me a cardiac arrest
When I'm sitting at the traffic light
Hey! I wanna get inside of you
I wanna crack your cranium
Delirium on the lower east side of your mind
I wanna be your troublemaker
Hey! I like your BMW
I like your BMX-cellent tits
With a tattoo of a pig sniffing glue
Hey! You're living at the W
You're looking like a Jezebel hot as hell
Sunburnt in a pink bathing suit
I wanna be your troublemaker
Easy cum and go
Gonna go it alone
Knock yourself out with a shot of Patr�n
I wouldn't say I'm straight
Cause I'm bent out of shape
From now 'til death do we party
Just before it's too late
Hey! You're giving me a heart attack
You're giving me a cardiac arrest
When I'm sitting at the traffic light
