From album: "American Idiot" (2004)
This song was included as an iTunes bonus track for American Idiot, and as a B-side for the title track. Hence, the two characters described in the lyrics might be the two protagonists of the album: Jesus of Suburbia and Whatsername. But some argue that the song was actually supposed to be on Green Day’s lost album Cigarettes and Valentines, that was under production until the master tapes were stolen and led to American Idiot coming in its place, which wouldn’t be consistent with the abovementioned theory.
LYRICS
She's always living like she's running out of time
Too much just ain't enough to keep her satisfied
Her plastic card is filled with nothing comes to mind
It's now her occupation and she's overqualified
[Pre-Chorus]
The looks are always so deceiving
The truth is always misconstrued to you
[Chorus]
Too much too soon
Too little and now you're coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you
Too much too soon
Too much too soon
Too little and now you're coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you
Too much too soon
He's talking shit about how it was better way back when
He lives every waking moment as a means to an end
We are! We are! But I'm not, I never used to be
So God bless your fucking past and to hell with your glory
The looks are always so deceiving
The truth is always misconstrued to you
Too much too soon
Too little and now you're coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you
Too much too soon
Too much too soon
Too little and now you're coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you
Too much too soon
She packs her bags
This is goodbye
So Bon Voyage
Farewell
See you in hell
I hope you rest in pieces (FUCK YOU!)
Looks are always so deceiving
The truth is always misconstrued
Too much too soon
Too little and now you're coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you
Too much too soon
Too much too soon
Too little and now you're coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you
Too much too soon
