Song Notes
That one is funny because it was inspired by The Sopranos. We found out that James Gandolfini’s favorite record was Dookie, and he used to listen to it constantly on vinyl in his trailer. That was corroborated to Billie by [Sopranos actor] Michael Imperioli, so he started heavily watching the show again. Then Billie started writing this song, and it has an aggressive feel, so I wanted to attack it like that. That’s where those runs come from. When he showed me the song, I got a Gangs of New York vibe from it. That’s why I play an almost Irish jig part in it; I don’t know what led me to that, but it just happened. The same thing happened in the song 'Minority'. I don’t know where my Irish influence comes from. I’m adopted — maybe I have some Irish in me, I don’t know.

Lyrics
I'm making an offer that you cannot deny
You won't be laughing when I'm making you cry
'Cause, ay-oh! I hear the pleas get louder
You son of a bitch, you're gonna beg and cower
Vendetta is a friend of mine
Revenge is sweeter than wine
I never asked to hear your god-damned feelings
Get on your knees when you are kissing my ring
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
Well, I can remember all the bad memories
I never forget a face that's quite so ugly
Ay-oh! Lost years are wasted
I always liked you, but I'm glad that you're all dead
Vendetta is a friend of mine
Revenge is sweeter than wine
I never asked to hear your god-damned feelings
Get on your knees when you are kissing my ring
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
I'm making an offer that you cannot deny
You won't be laughing when I'm making you cry
'Cause, ay-oh! I hear the pleas get louder
You son of a bitch, you're gonna beg and cower
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom
