Word Forward
Foo Fighters · Greatest Hits [2009]
Good bye Jimmy, farewell youth
I must be on my way I've had enough of you
Was a young man, proud and true
Just a simple boy with nothing left to lose
Years that I've wasted
These I owe you's
They're just fucking words
This is life or death
It's time to clear the air
You better save your breath
Say have you heard
Say have you heard
The Poison in my heart
And voices in my head
Years that I've wasted
These I owe you's
I meant every word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
But it's only words
I meant every word
They're just fucking words
(Repeat)
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
I must be on my way I've had enough of you
Was a young man, proud and true
Just a simple boy with nothing left to lose
Years that I've wasted
These I owe you's
They're just fucking words
This is life or death
It's time to clear the air
You better save your breath
Say have you heard
Say have you heard
The Poison in my heart
And voices in my head
Years that I've wasted
These I owe you's
I meant every word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
But it's only words
I meant every word
They're just fucking words
(Repeat)
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word Forward
As a staple on Foo Fighters' 2009 Greatest Hits compilation, 'Word Forward' exemplifies the band's signature blend of rock energy and melodic sensibility. The track features Dave Grohl's driving drumming and dynamic vocal delivery, characteristic of the group's evolution from their grunge roots to a polished arena rock sound. Released during a period of significant commercial success, the song reinforces the band's reputation for crafting anthemic tracks that resonate with broad audiences. It stands alongside other enduring hits on the collection, showcasing the enduring appeal of their mid-to-late 2000s discography and solidifying their status as a defining force in modern alternative rock.
