Take Back

About Take Back

“Take Back” is a short, hardcore-style song that ranks as one of the hardest songs Green Day have done on this album alongside “Platypus (I Hate You)”. The lyrics talk about someone who has been pushed just a little too far by someone else and is willing to resort to violent retribution to “take back” whatever dignity he could still get. This is the shortest song on the album, clocking in at only 1 minute and 9 seconds. .
