Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't know much about history
'Cause I never learned how to read
Dropout, I'm a knucklehead
Sick boy and I shit the bed
[PreChorus]
Maybe I'm in love with a deviant
Maybe I got terminal vertigo
[Verse 2]
Slam danced on my face again
Nonsense is my heroin
Rude boy going comatose
Drop out, and I'm adiós
[PreChorus]
Maybe I'm in love with a deviant
Maybe I got terminal vertigo (Oh)
I defy the science of a missing link
Oh God, I think I'm gonna lose my skull
[Chorus]
I said, "Look Ma, I ain't got no brains"
I'm a goner, and I don't feel no pain
I'm with stupid, and I'm all by myself
'Cause I'm special, and I don't need your help
[Bridge]
Well, I'm gone, gone, gone, and I'm far away (Don't panic, don't panic)
Well, I lost my head, and I'm here to say (Don't go, don't go)
Oh, Mama, Mama, Mama, Ma, I'm all grown up (Don't panic, don't panic)
Well, it's too late now for my suicide
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I said, "Look Ma, I ain't got no brains"
I'm a goner, and I don't feel no pain
I'm with stupid, and I'm all by myself
'Cause I'm special, and I don't need your help
Written by: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool
