Jaded Lyrics

Somebody keep my balance
I think I'm falling off
Into a state of regression
The expiration date
Rapidly coming up
It's leaving me behind to rank

Always move forward
Going "straight" will get you nowhere
There is no progress
Evolution...

I must agree with both of you. It is about getting high or stoned. But a final question; why is Mike at the back of all the photos of the band?

I've heard that this song is about being high or stoned or whatever. I also heard that Billie Joe was high in the video for the song, to keep with the feeling of the song.

This song is about being stoned/high/jaded, but I heard from a friend that it was about evolution (hence "always go forward going strait will get you nowhere")
