Father of All Motherfuckers
Fire, Ready, Aim
Song Meaning
Billie Joe Armstrong (NME, October 2019) said the song is about "the life AND death of the party" and the "lifestyle of not giving a fuck."
Green Day (YouTube/Twitter, October 2019): "This song is about our daily outrage. Attack without thought."
The title flips the standard "ready, aim, fire" military command into something dumber and more dangerous - shoot first, take aim later, think about it never. That's pretty much the song's read on social-media outrage culture.

Lyrics
Kick the dog when the whistle blows
Well, you're a liar (Ah)
Feed the creeps with a stick and bone
You're a liar (Ah)
Baby got the hyperbole (Ah)
Baby got the hyperbole (Ooh)
Kick the dog when the whistle blows
Well, you're a liar (Ah)
Rip it up on retribution
Turn it up sideways (Ah)
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Stick a hammer in your mouth
You're a liar (Ah)
Knock your teeth out to the ground
Well, you're a liar (Ah)
Baby got the hyperbole (Ah)
Baby got the hyperbole (Ooh)
Knock your teeth out to the ground
Well, you're a liar (Ah)
Rip it up on retribution
Turn it up sideways (Ah)
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Well, you're a liar (Ah)
Feed the creeps with a stick and bone
You're a liar (Ah)
Baby got the hyperbole (Ah)
Baby got the hyperbole (Ooh)
Kick the dog when the whistle blows
Well, you're a liar (Ah)
Rip it up on retribution
Turn it up sideways (Ah)
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Stick a hammer in your mouth
You're a liar (Ah)
Knock your teeth out to the ground
Well, you're a liar (Ah)
Baby got the hyperbole (Ah)
Baby got the hyperbole (Ooh)
Knock your teeth out to the ground
Well, you're a liar (Ah)
Rip it up on retribution
Turn it up sideways (Ah)
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
