Rancid Lyrics


FORMED: 1991, Berkeley, CA

Rancid's history starts in the end of 1991. Tim and Matt
had played in Operation Ivy who ended up in -89 and Tim was

Reviews about Rancid songs

what i think this song is about | Reviewer: max the bat
    ------ About the song Ruby Soho performed by Rancid

My assesment is that ruby is the punk in the room next door and the couple neighbours next door were having a party and fucking and they were shouting so ruby couldn't take it anymore and had to leave so quikly that he had no time to think about his destination, thereby destination unknown. The rest of the song is about ruby and the girl in the couple next door which he may be yearning to fuck and the part about saying good bye is about ruby and the girl next door going to fuck or away with her boyfriend ... ya dig?!

    ------ About the song Get Out Of My Way performed by Rancid

"I’m trying to dance here, I move in the double so".
"I don't see any fun in filling up your office space."
"I paid as much as you" not "played".
"But you'll do anything, anything if you can stand in my light
You got a uniform, all you need is a badge"
"Why did you come at all, you fucking cock!"

Green Day WAS punk. They ARE sellouts | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Roots Radicals performed by Rancid

Green day had some really good music... Then they sold out with 21st century Breakdown. Now theyre pop-punk. But that pop before punk makes them pop. Idk if they should even be labeled as punk at all.
Anyway this is a Rancid song, I thought I'd just contribute to the conversation. Rancid is insanely awesome. So is Operation Ivy ( which evolved into Rancid after 2 yrs) but alot of Operation Ivy did come over into Rancid.


brotherly love | Reviewer: Alex Haegendoreens
    ------ About the song Avenues & Alleyways performed by Rancid

I love this song. It's my favorite song by Rancid. I like Tim's line "He's a different color but were the same kid, I treat him like my brother he'll treat me like.his". This is the best brotherly love song ever


Green Day Aren't punk! | Reviewer: Reece
    ------ About the song Roots Radicals performed by Rancid

@ RJ Armstrong they say "On my stereo" again before the yeah's.

Green Day too are pop punk, in other words not punk at all. Rancid are one of the oldest Punk bands still going around, along with NoFX, Bad Religion, The Descendants, Millencolin, Pennywise (Although without Jim what's the point of listening to em) there are others I just couldn't be screwed thinking about them atm.

Green Day played a role in Punk Revival in just the image, but calling their music punk has never felt right to me.

    ------ About the song Don't Call Me White performed by Rancid

Can't say I've ever heard either version of this song,but the lyrics speak volumes.It's so true that alot of Caucasians feel White Liberal Guilt for being their ethnicity.It sounds like a cliche even to me,but it's the person you are inside that counts.Nothing else.Not every white person is a racist.Or some jerk-wad who hates their heritage.

    ------ About the song Roots Radicals performed by Rancid

I listen to both green day and rancid. I started to listen green day from their nimrod era. I am happy that i started listen to them because if there wasn't for green day i wouldn't know for some really great bands like Rancid.
Maybe green day isn't all punk-rock NOW but at least they were.
But this is rancid song so why are people discussing about green day??

P.S. I am really, really sorry for my bad english >_O

WTF | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Ruby Soho performed by Rancid

To "anonimous":
I don't know what the fuck kind of douchey pop-punk you grew up with, but REAL punk has absolutely nothin to do with sexual encounters. REAL punk is about saying "fuck you" to fake authority which is why so many of these bands are Liberal, even though they stand up for and support fake authority in people like Obama.
