Discover the story of the song > Wreckin’ Bar – The Vaccines

The song talks about a person who thinks they're better than everyone else and is interested in a pretty girl who is using a wrecking bar. The person references a book, newspapers, women, and bars, and asks the girl where she's been but doesn't really care. They suggest going home but don't have time for the girl's good upbringing. The song warns against being judgmental and turning your back or you might end up with a negative outcome.
