About

The third song off of Green Day’s third album Dookie, “Chump” is a bitter song directed the narrator’s ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend, whom he doesn’t know at all, but already despises.

Another important note is that the second half of the song is an instrumental interlude about a minute and a half...

Chump Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know you, but I think I hate you
You're the reason for my misery
Strange how you've become my biggest enemy
And I've never even seen your face

[Chorus]
Well, maybe it's just jealousy mixin' up with a violent mind
A circumstance that doesn't make much sense
Or maybe I'm just dumb

[Verse 2]
You're the cloud hangin' out over my head
And hail comes crashin' down, welting my face
Magic man, egocentric plastic man
Yet you still got one over on me

[Chorus]
Well, maybe it's just jealousy mixin' up with a violent mind
A circumstance that doesn't make much sense
Or maybe I'm just dumb
I'm a chump

[Bass Solo]

[Instrumental Outro]
