Lyin' here, arm around my girl
I turn on the radio
A shame we had to bail
You know we put on quite a show
What am I gonna do?
I left on my answer phone
Till then, what I told you
Right now, I just don't know
And I said
Hey! Kid!
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own
I said it's all right
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along trying to be nobody else
It's god-damned right, you know!
Every day will break
But another comes along
Won't have long to wait
And you've always got that song
It's funny when you're drunk (funny when you're drunk!)
How everything is clear
"Come check out my bum!"
Can get the rock right out of here
And I said
Hey! Kid!
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own
I said it's all right
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along tryin' to be nobody else
It's god-damned right, you know!
Feelin' so much better in this frame of mind,
'Cause I've been sick of taking over all the good guitars
And I know (and you know) I'm a capable guy
I got so many things I wanted to do
And I got the chance to prove it to you!
Hey - I'm lyin' (I'm lyin'!) 'cause I waited my life
And I am ready to blow
But when I do something about the wind and rain
They start all over again
And I need some pieces from you!
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own
I said it's all right
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along tryin' to be nobody else
It's god-damned right, you know!
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own
I said it's all right
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along tryin' to be nobody else
It's god-damned right, you know!

It's a shame, I wouldn't say Fightstar do bad,
But there success is & will never be anything compared to Busted's.
For the chorus
Hey kid
- because Charlie was the youngest in the band
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own.
-He doesn't expect him to live a lie in Busted doing something he doesn't believe in
I said it's all right.
- He's not mad at him for leaving
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along tryin' to be nobody else,
It's god-damned right, you know!
-He's not going to get anywhere trying to be somebody he's not
But the song is definately about the split of Busted.
'It's a shame we had to bail,
you know we put on quite a show,'
This is him saying that he thinks it's 'a shame' that Busted had to end as they did, and they were good while they lasted.
'What am I gonna do?'
Obviously him lamenting about what to do next, wondering if he has a career without Busted.
The correct line instead of ''Cause I've been sick of taking over all the good guitars' is 'Cause I've been sick of thinking over all the difficult times,'
hich clearly means that things had been strained within the band and he wants to remember the good tmes rather than the bad.
'I'm ready to start all over again,'
This is Matt saying he is stepping up and moving on from Busted.
'And I need some pieces from you' is actually 'patience,' blatantly talking to Charlie Simpson (who left Busted and effectively broke the band up.)
That's my take on it, anyway.
