    Song Meaning
    Lyrically, I was just reflecting on bad times in life. That’s the thing about nostalgia, sometimes you think, “That was an awful time.” Everybody’s got that ugly place in their life where they have to deal with ugly thoughts – it could be like revenge or whatever. Thankfully, I have an outlet in songwriting." (Billie Joe on Rolling Stone, January 2024)
    Lyrics
    I'm makin' an offer that you cannot deny
    You won't be laughin' when I'm makin' you cry
    'Cause, ay-oh!
    I hear the pleas get louder
    You son of a bitch, you're gonna beg and cower

    Vendetta is a friend of mine
    Revenge is sweeter than wine
    I never asked to hear your goddamned feelings
    Get on your knees when you are kissin' my ring

    Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
    Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom

    Well, I can remember all the bad memories
    I never forget a face that's quite so ugly
    Ay-oh!
    Lost years are wasted
    I always liked you, but I'm glad that you're all dead

    Vendetta is a friend of mine
    Revenge is sweeter than wine
    I never asked to hear your goddamned feelings
    Get on your knees when you are kissin' my ring

    Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
    Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom

    I'm makin' an offer that you cannot deny
    You won't be laughing when I'm makin' you cry
    'Cause, ay-oh!
    I hear the pleas get louder
    You son of a bitch, you're gonna beg and cower

    Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
    Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
    Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
    Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
