Fuck Time

Green Day Released 2012

Song Meaning

The message for this song in the ¡Dos! deluxe lyric book is: "Ahh, fuck it! Dogs will be dogs."

Billie Joe (Visions, 2012): “One of the actors from the American Idiot Broadway musical, Theo Stockman, called himself ‘King of Fuck’. Before every performance the ensemble formed a circle and shouted: 'One, two, three, it’s fuck time!’ So I named a song after it. We played it as Foxboro Hot Tubs at Don Hill’s and initially the song should have stayed there. But then we realised we shouldn’t give It’s Fuck Time away to our alter-ego but that we should use it for Green Day!”

Billie Joe (Warner Music Poland interview, 2012): "There's songs like Fuck Time which is obviously about fucking."

Billie Joe: "[Fuck Time] was originally going to be a Foxboro Hot Tubs song. But we liked it so much that we said, 'Why waste it?' It's just a big, fun, stupid song. It doesn't imply anything; it just comes out and says it. A lot of old rock and roll songs imply sex. Or just the term 'rock and roll': rockin' and rollin' -- well, that means fucking. So why not say it? Just go there."

Fan interpretation: "This song is about sex. Specifically, really dirty, nasty sex. In this scenario, the narrator wants complete control over his partner. The line 'Drop your laundry and slam the door' lends itself to the spontaneous nature of the feelings felt by both sides."

Lyrics

I'll drop your laundry and slam the door
I don't want your love so give me more
I'm a beggar but I don't want a dime

Oh baby baby it's fuck time
You know I really wanna make you mine
Oh baby baby it's fuck time
There's nothing left to say

Take a look into my eyes
I wanna hold you 'til you're paralyzed

Oh Amanda Jones, your holy grace
I wanna choke you 'til you're blue in the face
Your dirty thoughts and a dirty mind

Oh baby baby it's fuck time
You know I really wanna make you mine
Oh baby baby it's fuck time
There's nothing left to say

Take a look into my eyes
I wanna hold you 'til you’re paralyzed

Take a look into my eyes
I wanna hold you 'til you're paralyzed
Take a look into my eyes
I wanna hold you 'til you're paralyzed
