"Hey Kid" is the second official single from Matt Willis, released on August 14, 2006. It is taken from Willis's debut solo album Don't Let It Go to Waste. "Hey Kid" also appears in the 2006 teen film John Tucker Must Die and the action packed teen film Alex Rider:Stormbreaker, and therefore will be on both the films soundtracks.
The lyrics of this song are about the days after Busted, Willis' original band, split.
This song features two music videos, one being the main video and the other to fit the story of John Tucker Must Die.
On August 20, the song entered the UK Top 75 at #61, based solely on download sales. The following week it climbed to #11 due to the physical release of the single.
The B-Side "Me And Your Mother" was also featured on Willis' debut album as a hidden track

"Hey Kid" (radio edit) (Written By Matt Willis/Julian Emery/Jason Perry/Jonny Kwiencinski)
Mama takes offence at you livin' in sin The system chews you up as you start to begin Kids got tattoos, rings in his ears Everything's come true that his mama fears Raised in a latrine on a dead end street I was a gang bang scoundrel of the social elite Its the same old story, never get a second chance The system never fails but you gotta make a stance Chorus Hey Kid! Hey Kid! Look what ya did Hey Kid! Hey Kid! Whoa oh! Hey Kid! Hey Kid! Mama blew her lid Hey Kid! Hey Kid! Whoa oh! I got my education at the school of hard knocks The pushers and the shovers you can stuff your rocks My teachers had the qualities you need for president They were rich, two faced and mentally bent I broke out of school at the age of sixteen I was a rebel rouser like Jimmy Dean I had a chip on my shoulder as big as the world But I knew a thing or two about gettin' the girls Chorus Solo
