The Offspring - Don′t Pick It Up

I saw a little kid
As he walked around
He picked a candy bar up
Off the ground
He chowed about a half
Then his face turned blue
Turned out that candy bar was doggy-doo
Don′t pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don′t pick it up I say
You′re gonna be bummed that you went that way

You′re out there makin′ bacon
No scrutiny
You mess around too much
And you got VD
You know you never think
And you′re sore today
You′re gonna take it back to California
Don′t pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don′t pick it up I say
You′re gonna be bummed that you went that way

My friend was kinda hurtin′
For a girl to try
He saw one that looked like Pat
On Saturday Night Live
It had a pair of thingies
But a mustache too
Not clearly male nor female
So now what to do
Don′t pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don′t pick it up I say
You′re gonna be bummed that you went that way

The Offspring - She′s Got Issues

I′m seeing this girl and she just might be out of her mind
Well, she′s got baggage and it′s all the emotional kind
She talks about closure and that validation bit
I don′t mean to be insensitive, but I really hate that shit

And I say yeah, yeah
Oh man, she′s got issues and I′m gonna pay
Yeah, yeah
She thinks she′s the victim, yeah

Now, I know she′ll feel abandoned if I don′t stay over late
And I know she′s afraid to commit, but it′s only our second date

And I say yeah, yeah
Oh man, she′s got issues and I′m gonna pay
Yeah, yeah
She says she′s the victim, but she takes it all out on me

I don′t know why you′re messed up
I don′t know why your whole life is a chore
Just do me a favor
And check your baggage at the door

Now, she talks about her ex non-stop, but I don′t mind
But when she calls out his name in bed, that′s where I draw the line
You told me a hundred times how your father left and he′s gone
But I wish you wouldn′t call me daddy when we′re gettin′ it on

And I say yeah, yeah
Oh man, she′s got issues and I′m gonna pay
Yeah, yeah
She′s playing the victim and taking it all out on me

Yeah, yeah
My god, she′s got issues and I′m gonna pay
Gonna pay, gonna pay, gonna pay, gonna pay
Gonna pay, whooo, whoa

If you think I′m controlling
Then why do you follow me around?
If you′re not co-dependent
Then why do you let others drag you down?

I don′t know why you′re messed up
I don′t know why your whole life is a chore
Just do me a favor
And check your baggage at the door

The Offspring - It′ll Be A Long Time

All this time has whittled away
Like so many days in one
Back and forth the leaders sway
Backing it up with guns
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That′s always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I′ve got a feeling it′ll be a long time
When will the truth come in to season
I′ve got a feeling it′ll be a long time
All they want is what they can defend
Before their time is up
Make the same mistakes again
Heard it all before
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That′s always the way it goes
Well if they tried
Maybe they′d see
It′d do a little good to let the world be free
Handshake and a smile
Gets you on through
Then turn it all around with a suicide move
But you know it′s not fooling anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you want to see

The Offspring - Why Don′t You Get A Job?

My friend′s got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says "man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"

She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend
You gotta say

I won′t pay, I won′t pay ya, no way
na-na, Why don′t you get a job?
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
na-na, why don′t you get a job?

I guess all his money, well it isn′t enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well it isn′t enough
Cause that girl′s got expensive taste

I won′t pay, I won′t pay ya, no way
na-na, Why don′t you get a job?
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
na-na, why don′t you get a job?

Well I guess it ain′t easy doing nothing at all
But hey man free rides just don′t come along
every day

Let me tell you about my other friend now

My friend′s got a boyfriend, man she hates that dick
She tells me every day
He wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend
You gotta say

I won′t pay, I won′t pay ya, no way
na-na, Why don′t you get a job?
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
na-na, why don′t you get a job?

I won′t give you no money, I always pay
na-na, Why don′t you get a job?
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
na-na, Why don′t you get a job?

[Spoken:]
Hey, that′s something everyone can enjoy!

The Offspring - The Kids Aren′t Alright

When we were young, the future was so bright, whoa
The old neighborhood was so alive, whoa
And every kid on the whole damn street, whoa
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now, the neighborhood′s cracked and torn, whoa
The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn, whoa
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown, nothing′s free
Longing for what used to be
Still, it′s hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Jamie had a chance, well, she really did, whoa
Instead, she dropped out and had a couple of kids, whoa
Mark still lives at home ′cause he′s got no job, whoa
He just plays guitar and smokes a lotta pot

Jay committed suicide, whoa
Brandon od′d and died, whoa
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality

Chances thrown, nothing′s free
Longing for what used to be
Still, it′s hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Go!

Chances thrown, nothing′s free
Longing for what used to be
Still, it′s hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

The Offspring - You′re gonna go far, kid

Show me how to lie
You’re getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that’s hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line
A mob jumps to their feet

Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You’re gonna go far, kid

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
So play it out I’m wide awake
It’s a scene about me
There’s something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can’t get what you want
Well it’s all because of me

Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you’ll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You’re gonna go far, kid
Trust, deceived!

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

Now dance, fucker, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

So dance, fucker, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

Clever alibis
Lord of the flies
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

The Offspring - The Noose

Well our souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way
We all end up forsaken, we′re just choosing our own way
The future now incinerates before our very eyes
And leaves us with emptiness of no more tries

Well our visions of glory have spiraled down the drain
The best of our intentions come crashing down in flames
The depths of our despair we are unable to contain
It′s shallow living

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our mak′r comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

Well the tracers from yesteryear are burning in the dust
Your bruises are reminders of naivete and trust
You′re only feeling stronger cause your body′s getting numb
Now I lay you down
Put the coins in your eyes
And blow the candles out

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our mak′r comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

No more!
No more!
Nothing!

No more!
No more!
Ever!
No!
More!

The Offspring - All Along

Deep inside secretas burning
I Should have known all the while whatas true
I went along, to fool myself
Canat go on, I canat escape it

All along
I think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I stand here betrayed and broken

Close my eyes from the burning
All along all the while itas true
Take it on, or turn your back
Either way, you canat escape it

The Offspring - A lot like me

How does it feel?
When you have it all?
How can you live?
With nothing at all?

Where do you run?
Where do you go?
When the holes in your truth
Are starting to show?

And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can′t get out of bed

How can you take?
Without giving back?
How does it work?
When it′s really cracked?

How does it feel

And no wonder
Hearts and minds have been won
How does it feel
And I wonder
How it′s all come undone And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can′t get out of bed

Want it You got it You′re sorry You bought it You′re sliding
Want it You got it You′re sorry You bought it Can′t hide it
Tell me who do you see
Cause you look a lot like me

How can you take?
Without giving back?
Who do you see?
Cause you look a lot like me

The Offspring - Hypodermic

When you′re feeling low
Hypodermic′s where you go
When you′re with yourself
You wish you could be someone else

Can′t you see like you saw anymore
Can′t you feel like you felt before
Can′t you face anything anymore
When life′s a waste
Run away
Your life′s a waste
Run away

Once you get a ride
Doesn′t matter where you lied
Once you shoot it in
Doesn′t matter who you′ve been
You′re reaching in but you don′t know where to begin
All your dance and song won′t matter when you′re gone

The Offspring - We Are One

We are one with ourselves
We don′t give a shit about anyone else
Well it won′t be wrong until our day in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down

We are one
We are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one
We are weak
We are gonna make ourselves extinct

Let it go
We′re gonna let it go
It′s real, we are one
You know it′s true
Don′t fuck with us or we′ll fuck with you
It′s a mentality that kills the best
We better stop
The walls come tumbling down

We are one and it won′t be news
When we hang ourselves with one collective noose
Well, it won′t be wrong until our day in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down

The Offspring - Crossroads

Time has washed away
And now I may wonder
How did it all slip by
Cause I always thought
We had forever
Future calls to me
To take me away from things
I don′t want to leave behind
Like I′m slipping away
I can′t hold on

Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But that′s not what worries me
I just want to know what′s home

Through it all
My mind still wanders
To the one who touched my soul
Though her road leads away
She′s still my
True love
I could believe

Will is not enough when all those
Lost days stand in the way
But she was
My hopes and dreams my
Whole world
I could believe

I still want to know
Who can see for me
Crossroads tell me

Now you′ll have to trade
Your past away
And find another day
So is change a friend or an enemy

Through what comes to pass
I′ll find my way
I′ve seen it all before
But is the best you can be
The best thing to be
Some people say
You′re just wasting time
But that′s not what worries me
I just want to know what′s home

The Offspring - The Meaning Of Life

On the way
Trying to get where I′d like to say
I′m always feeling steered away
By someone trying to tell me
What to say and do
I don′t want it
I gotta go find my own way
I gotta go make my own mistakes
Sorry man for feeling
Feeling the way I do
On yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and they′ll shove in
Their meaning of life
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
But not for me I′ll do it on my own
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I can′t make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
By the way
I know your path has been tried and so
It may seem like the way to go
Me, I′d rather be found
Trying something new
And the bottom line
In all of this seems to say
There′s no right and wrong way
Sorry if I don′t feel like
Living the way you do

The Offspring - Rise and fall

This time you’re really dead
Once followed, but always led
You thought you’d rise above it all

It’s all inside your head
All ripping it up in shreds
I know someday you’re gonna fall

And I don’t wanna say I told you so
But I told you so
Now you’ve lost control

And I don’t wanna be the rise and fall
Give me more or nothing at all

You’re in an awful way
Sucked in by what you crave
They just can’t wait to see you crawl

And you can only laugh
Give in to the other half
They’re only tearing down your walls

And I don’t wanna say I told you so
But I told you so
Now you’ve lost control

And I don’t wanna be the rise and fall
Give me more or nothing at all

They’ve come to see you rise and fall
They’re only tearing down your walls
They’ve come to see you rise and fall
And I don’t wanna say you’ve lost control

And I don’t wanna say I told you so
But I told you so
Now you’ve lost control

And I don’t wanna be the rise and fall
Give me more or nothing at all

The Offspring - Beheaded

Mommy doesn′t have a head any more
Keep it underneath my bed on the floor
Well that′s alright, that′s OK
She never really used her head anyway

Daddy called me a silly bore
Bet he won′t say that any more
Because the way his body is severed too
His vocal chords are gonna be hard to use

Beheaded, watch you spurt like a garden hose
Beheaded, bloody mess all over my clothes

Watch my girl friend come to the door
Chop off her head, she falls to the floor
Now watching my baby′s jugular blow
Really makes my motor go

Wrap a towel round the bloody stump
Take my baby′s body to the city dump
Then wipe the mess off the bloody axe
Scoop all the heads into my burlap sack

Beheaded, watch her spurt like a garden hose
Beheaded, bloody mess all over my clothes

All my collection, adorns my room on bamboo poles
Use to be a little, but a little got more and more
Now I′m craving yours

Night brings bad dreams, bad dreams and guillotines

Off with her head
Off with her head
Off with her head
Off with her head
Off with her head
Off with her head

Find another victim for my machine
Put him in a home-made guillotine
Blade falls, gonna need a casket
Watch your head plop in a wicker basket

Leave the house at a quarter to four
Come back with sixteen or more
Cause the more I walk, the more I see
I got a funny feeling coming over me

Beheaded, watch you spurt like a garden hose
Beheaded, bloody mess all over my clothes

The Offspring - L.A.P.D.

When cops are taking care of business I can understand
But the L.A. story′s gone way out of hand
Their acts of aggression, they say they′re justified
But it seems an obsession has started from the inside
They′re shooting anyone who even tries to run
They′re shooting little kids with toy guns
Take it to a jury but they don′t give a damn
Because the one who tells the truth is always the policeman

Beat all the niggers
Beat whoever you see
Don′t need a reason
(We′re) L.A.P.D.

The city of L.A. feels like a prison
With helicopters overhead and bullets whizzing by
Martial law ain′t no solution
Police brutality′s just social pollution

Beat all the white trash
Beat whoever you see
Don′t need a reason
(We′re) L.A.P.D.

They say they′re keeping the peace
But I′m not buying it because a billy club ain′t much of a pacifier
"Protecting your freedom"
Now that′s just a lie
It′s an excuse for power that′s more like an alibi
Law and order doesn′t really matter
When you′re the one getting bruised and battered
You take it to a jury, they′ll throw it in your face
Because justice in L.A. comes in a can of mace

The Offspring - Something To Believe In

I believe that reality′s gone
Disillusion′s real
I believe that morality′s gone
And there′s nothing to feel
If you take the sacred things
The things that we hold dear
Empty promise is all you′ll find
So give me something
Something to believe in
I believe in a changing of the guard
Put our feet on the ground
See it happen in your own background
Everything breaks down
Do you accept what you are told
Without even thinking
Throw it all and make your own
And give me something
Something to believe in
Where they lead
You will follow
Well I guess that′s just the way it goes
And if you look away
You′ll be doing what they say
And if you look alive
You′ll be singled out and tried
If you take home anything
Let it be your will to think
The more cynical you become
The better off you′ll be

The Offspring - Gotta Get Away

I′m getting edgy all the time
There′s someone around me just a step behind
It′s kinda scary, the shape I′m in
The walls are shakin′ and they′re closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow
I′m paranoid of people and it′s starting to show
There′s one guy that I can′t shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There′s demons in my head
And it′s more than I can take
I think I′m on a roll
But I think it′s kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
I tell you something just ain′t right
My head is on loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends cause they all bug
Life is a riddle and I′m really stumped
If you reason, don′t you know
Your own preoccupation is where you′ll go
I think I′m being followed, I look around
It′s only my shadow creepin′ on the ground

The Offspring - Burn It Up

I think I′m burning up inside
I think I′ll take a little ride
I′m gonna light up everything in sight
I′ll drive on by your yard
And throw a Molotov cocktail at your car
Then another in the local bar

Ignition
They call it an obsession but I think it′s kinda bitchen′
I think it′s kinda neat
Yeah, I′m a pyro
I wanna burn it up
Yeah, I′m a pyro

Tonight this ′hood will be a pyre
I′m gonna set your house on fire
I′ll dance around the pretty flames
Such a wonderful game

I want to make a tiki torch
I′m gonna throw it on your porch
Then I′m gonna run away
And come back another day
So many houses, so little time
So many reasons, I′m not a crime
I′d like to set you up
I′d like to set you up

The Offspring - Jennifer Lost The War

Jennifer lost the war today
You′ll find her burned and raped
Through it all
She must have wondered
What have I done
But nobody really cares today
The world′s a busy place
Guess she must have really sinned

I guess we′re all just soldiers
She was only six years old
Left to die by strangers
Her family waits
And if we′re all just soldiers
Is it so wrong to be afraid

Phoebe lost the war today
There must be some mistake
Say it happens all the time
And it′s said and done
And Little Miss 1565 Your soul remains unclaimed
Guess you must have really sinned

Morality won′t help her
When she lies silent in a morgue
And all our sorrows just don′t count at all
But will the morning headlines
Even say that it′s a shame
What are we headin′ for

Seen it all before
Silent on the ground
As he′s walking away
And I wonder how many more
Everybody takes it
Like it′s nothing at all
Jennifer lost the war

The Offspring - Out On Patrol

Look at my soldier boy now
With that big gun in your little hand
As you patrol this foreign land
Hear the mine that clicks beneath your feet

Now do you see the light
Fading while your world is crumbling
Out on patrol
And all you can do is sit and stare
What revelation have you now
What culmination to your speck of life
Your moment in time

As you sit here all alone
Will your buddies come and save your life
But as the enemy appears
See your life flash before your eyes

What a surprise --
You′re fucked with again Yeah
It′s a way of life you need to get over
All the rage just eats you alive

Sometimes I think I′m gonna drown
Cause everyone around′s so hollow
I′m alone
Sometimes I think I′m going down
But no one makes a sound
They follow
And I′m alone
Yeah if I make it I′d be amazed
Just to find tomorrow
One more day and I′d be amazed
Just to see it waiting
And if I make it I′m still alone
No more hope for better days
But if I could change
Then I′d really be amazed
And when you know you can′t relate
To one more shiny face
Your heart breaks
No one cares
And when you know you can′t go on
Cause everything is wrong
Your heart breaks
But no one′s there

The Offspring - Fix you

She wakes up
Rage and grace
Pulling me closer
Pushing away
And me the sharpest thorn on your vine
Twisting and turning, we′re all intertwined

Broken wing
Empty glass
Words that scream and bounce right back
She says,"You know, we′d all like to rearrange"

Chorus:
I wish I could fix you
And make you how I want you
I wish I could fix you
And I wish you could fix me

I wish I could heal you
And mend where you are broken
I wish I could heal you
And I wish you could heal me

The beaming sunrise buries the night
The setting sun destroys the light
And she said, "Baby, I′ve got to get going"
Cutting each other without even knowing

She sees a million stars like holes in the sky
All God′s tears, for her they cry
And I am in her rain

Chorus

Broken wing
Empty glass
Words that scream and bounce right back
She says, "You know, we′d all like to rearrange"

The Offspring - A Thousand Days

Ask me no questions and I′ll tell you
I′ll tell you no lies
When all is said and done
Does it really matter who′s wrong or right
Don′t ask me for a reason, I can′t explain
Why we hurt one another again and again
As I lie bleeding here I still
I still reach for you

A thousand days
Have passed away
A thousand days
Were captured in her eyes

Your eyes are open now but you know
It′s still hard to see inside
When action and intention
Are two seperate things
Now I somehow wish I could explain
Why we hurt each other again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
I still reach for you

A thousand days
Have passed away
A thousand days
Were captured in her eyes

Forever we′ve been
Trapped by our hearts
Trapped by our minds
I′d like to leave
I′d like to win at love

But I just can′t let it go
And I just can′t watch it slipping away
And I just can′t let it go
And I just can′t stand another minute

Maybe now someday our shattered live
Will mend themselves again
But now a million miles away
I still wish I could
And though I somehow know, I can′t explain
Why we hurt one another again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
I still reach for you

The Offspring - No Brakes

Lay awake, I don′t give a shit
If I even ever wake up in the morning
Down below, there′s a pile of sin
Always waiting for a, waiting for a warning

Burned at the stake, inside, I′m blistering
Not a whisper looking in, you′d never know it
Miles below, I look up again
When you snap they say before you never show it

Someone said it′s alright
Save it now, don′t say it for my sake
Someone said it′s alright
Faster now, you know I got no brakes, no brakes

Fuses glow, wounds are festering
′til the wind comes up and takes it to the last pow
Back and forth, staring at the wall
This room′s a cage, I know that something′s gotta give now

Lay awake, I don′t give a shit
If I even ever wake up in the morning
Down below, there′s a pile of sin
Always waiting for a, waiting for a warning

Burned at the stake, inside, I′m blistering
Not a whisper looking in, you′d never know it
Miles below, I look up again
When you snap they say before you never show it

Someone said it′s alright
Save it now, don′t say it for my sake
Someone said it′s alright
Faster now, you know I got no brakes, no brakes

Someone said it′s alright
Save it now, don′t say it for my sake
Someone said it′s alright
Faster now, you know I got no brakes

Someone said it′s alright
Save it now, don′t say it for my sake
Someone said it′s alright
Faster now, you know I got no brakes

No brakes
No brakes
No brakes

The Offspring - Elders

When we younger
There always seemed like
Some perfect mold
That we′re supposed to be
But now we′re growing up and
I see it′s just not that way
Now I feel like someones lied to me

Cause I′ve been true
Made good for you
And now I feel used
I′m asking you
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you

Tell me now elders
What were your reasons for
Making it seem
Like you were so much more
If you want to feel good
Because of our accomplishments
Why the fuck
Don′t you just do it yourself

Cause I′ve tried
Man I′ve tried
While you all lied
So now just tell me
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you

Look at all the families now
Who don′t talk and don′t trust
Because of the way
That things have been done
When will you finally learn
To leave out the bullshit
And just be straight with us

The Offspring - Genocide

Our lives run different ways
Through the rain I see you in the sun
Our star shines anyway
If you wish upon it we are one
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat dog
To get by
Hope you like my genocide
I find it such a shame
Through the pain I see things as they are
We′re served up on a plate
The pedestal is high enough to fall
And if in time
We can see the errors of our ways
Would anyone change it anyhow
Our time is up
I bet you′d only run
If you saw what goes inside our own
I bet you′d lead the way
If it were up to you to decide
But it′s not

The Offspring - Nothingtown

Let’s make this complicated
Thinking is overrated
We’re busting out
Of this shitty little town

Green grass and colored lenses
Tear down these picket fences
Burn in our beds
While the city lies sleeping

Why oh why?
Are we starting up and going down?
My oh my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
We’ll leave this town today
Hold on tighter
With my lighter
Shining through

These city streets are burning
Rose red your wheels are turning
Make me believe
Someday we could really leave

Blindfold a new direction
Stop asking better questions
Don’t figure out
That we’re never getting out

Why oh why?
Are we starting up and going down?
My oh my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
We’ll leave this town today
And I’ll row it if you steer it
I’ll yell until you hear it
Hold on tighter
With my lighter
Shining through

Why oh why?
Are we starting up and going down?
My oh my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
Our dreams get in the way
And I’ll row it if you steer it
I’ll yell until you hear it
Hold on tighter
With my lighter
Shining through

Still stuck in Nothingtown
Still stuck in Nothingtown
Come on let’s go

The Offspring - Hammerhead

I am the one
Camouflage and guns
Risk my life
To keep my people from harm

Authority
Vested in me
I sacrifice
With my brothers in arms

Through this doorway
What’s on the other side
Never knowing
Exactly what I’ll find
Locked and loaded
Voices screaming
Let’s go!
Come on do it!
Here we go

Take a life
That others may live
Oh that’s just the way it goes
Shut my eyes
It hammers in my head
Where it’ll end nobody knows

Take a life
That ten others may live
Oh that’s just the way it goes
It’s playing over and over in my head
Where it’ll end
Nobody knows

Stay the course
Reasonable force
I believe I serve a greater good

Smoke and dust
Enemies are crushed
Nothing left
Where a man once stood

Through this doorway
What’s on the other side
Never knowing
Exactly what I’ll find
Locked and loaded
Voices screaming
Let’s go!
But I’m just doing what I’m told

Take a life
That others may live
Oh that’s just the way it goes
Shut my eyes
It hammers in my head
Where it’ll end
Nobody knows

Take this life
That ten others may live
Oh that’s just the way it goes
It’s playing over and over in my head
Where it begins
And where it’ll end
Nobody knows

Bang bang it hammers in my head
Bang bang it hammers in my head
Bang bang it hammers in my head
In my head
In my head

Yea though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for Thou art with me
Locked and loaded
Gonna find my truth
Now I’m busting through
All hell breaks loose

And you can all hide behind your desks now
And you can cry, ‘teacher come help me!’
Through you all
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true

The Offspring - Stuff is messed up

Now, I don′t know and it′s hard to explain
But it seems like things are just kind of insane
Because the world is crying but nobody′s listening,
So please leave a message on my cell phone!

I see bullets getting better, biblical weather
And that guy on TV is like a total asshole
Who are you wearing tonight? Celebrity fundraiser, tight!
Black ties making wrongs right, how′s your social Band-Aid?

I don′t know much,
I don′t know too much...
But I know this -
Shit is fucked up!

I guess it′s all about the dream,
The ends justify the means
I′m tellin′ you, shit is fucked up!

You know, it′s all about the dream,
The ends justify the means

Now thank god for the media for saving the day,
Putting it all into perspective in a responsible way
With more celebrity news, typical bullshit ′n′ views,
I think we′re losing this fight sponsored by Bud Light

And now we′re rockin′ the casbah and taking the flak,
The genie′s out of the bottle and we can′t put it back (Put it back!)
All this stuff, it′s overwhelming my brain
Can you see the storm comin′? It′s coming this way...

I don′t know much,
I don′t know too much...
But I know this -
Shit is fucked up!

I guess it′s all about the dream,
The ends justify the means
I′m tellin′ you, shit is fucked up!

You know, it′s all about the dream,
The ends justify the means,
The ends justify the means!

Shopping sprees, RPG′s, ecstasy, atrophym,
Genocide, pimp my ride, politize, euphemize,
Injustice everywhere, apathy, I don′t care,
Hurricanes, climate change, huh!

Therapy, I won′t tell, rehab and LOL
Worldwide calamity, TV reality
Euthanize, supersize, death squads and boob jobs
VIP infamy, gratify instantly

I don′t know much,
I don′t know too much...
I don′t know much,
I don′t know too much!

I guess it′s all about the dream,
The ends justify the means
I′m tellin′ you, shit is fucked up!

You know, it′s all about the dream,
The ends justify the means

The means, the means!

The Offspring - Denial, Revisited

So here we go
Having the same old fight again
There she goes
Same old game that never ends If I could say
The right words
I know I could make you stay
If I could say
The right words
Things would work out all right

And if you go
I won′t believe
That it′s forever

And you can go
But I′ll never leave
Cause it′s not over

Replay last night
Talking it out don′t make it right
I know she′s tried, but my whole world
Is her and all we′ve got now

And if you go
I won′t believe
That it′s forever

I won′t let go
Even if she say that it′s over
I know it′ll be
Different this time
If you′d just stay

And when we wrote this story
How did it end?
It was you and me for all our lives
Come on, donat say it
We′ll try again
And if I′d just hold you
We could last

But she stands softly
Tears down her face
Hitting me, oh god
This is the end
I′d wait here for
But there′s nothing more now I can do
How did you know
How did you know
How did you know
Finally

The Offspring - Vultures

Now I could lie by your side
All serrated for you
Down below cancer grows
Weeping waits inside you too
All our rage begs a stage
It′s a waste of time though
And you style seems worthwhile
But this lonely road has turned And you faded there
They pretend to care
Vultures waiting
If you don′t like me
Certify Me Yeah I don′t know
Yeah I won′t go
Yeah save it I′m okay

And in the sun a loaded gun
Makes for conversation
All the while in denial
It′s too late for me to change

And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me

Oh we′re jaded I don′t know
Overrated I won′t go
All serrated Save it I′m okay
Okay Yeah I wonat play Yeah go away Yeah save it Iam okay

The Offspring - Pay The Man

See the way the wind blows
Lives are intertwined
Watch the way the world goes
The man deals out our plight

Jester in the corner
Laughs without a sound
Jester in the corner
Malady abounds

In our souls
In our souls
In our souls

See the way the sun sets
Twilight of this life
The man is making little bets
Playing with our lives

All that I believe now
Anything is possible
A simple explanation
For the evil in this world

And in our souls
In our souls
In our souls
In our souls

Oooh oooh, no

Come down to sorry and sable
It′s always the man
He′s always keeping you down
Bow down ′cause I see it before me
Shadow and light
That always keeps you running

Oooh, shut up, you talk too much
Oooh, pay the man now, yeah
Oooh, shut up, you talk too much
Oooh, pay now, pay now, now, now

Look at you and your struggle for freedom
But you ain′t nothing
We all pay the man for living
Wouldn′t it be nice for a change now
To be unchained
My life is for me now

But this is life
This is life
This is life
This is life

Pay the man now
Pay the man now
Pay the man now
He′s the man, now

Oooh, shut up, you talk too much
Oooh, pay the man now, yeah
Oooh, shut up, you talk too much
Oooh

Oooh oooh, no

Whoa

Whoa (now, now)
Whoa (now)

The Offspring - Way Down The Line

Nothing changes cause it′s all the same
The world you get′s the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line
There is a chain that′s never broken
You know the story it′s sad but true
An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids
The same old way his drunken father did
What comes around well it goes around
Nothing changes cause it′s all the same
The world you get′s the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line

At 17 Shannon is pregnant
As young as her mom when she had her
Her kid is never gonna have a dad
The same old way that Shannon never had
What comes around well it goes around
Nothing changes cause it′s all the same
The world you get′s the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line
And all the things you learn when you′re a kid
You′ll fuck up just like your parents did
It all just happens again
Way down the line

And welfare moms have kids on welfare
And fat parents they have fat kids too
You know it′s never gonna end
The same old cycle′s gonna start again
What comes around well it goes around

The Offspring - Self Esteem

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I′m being used
That′s okay man cause I like the abuse
I know she′s playing with me
That′s okay cause I′ve got no self esteem
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejection′s got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so
When she′s saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she′s saying that I′m like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it′s better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care Right?
Now I′ll relate this a little bit
That happens more than I′d like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that′s kind of hard when she′s ready to go
I may be dumb
But I′m not a dweeb
I′m just a sucker with no self esteem

The Offspring - No Hero

Once you said you′d stick to it until the end
I guess you lied, they call it suicide
Now you′re gone
What was so wrong that you couldn′t find a way to carry on?
Second guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had

Johnny was a weirdo
So what did you expect?
I ain′t no fucking hero
I′m just trying to survive myself

I should have known you went through it alone
I wonder why did you even try?
You could have come to me
I would have helped you see
You could have found a way to carry on
Second guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had...

′Johnny′s strange behavior was a tip-off,′ they say
But I ain′t no fucking savior
I′m just living day by day

Little things, little lives hanging ′til the end
I say it doesn′t really mean nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don′t really mean nothing
And I can′t let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Let this feeling go

The Offspring - Forever And A Day

Look at me while I look at you
Seeing eye to eye we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing

If you′ve got the answer
Then I don′t want to know
If you′ve got the answer
Just keep it your own

I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected

If you′ve got the answer
Then I don′t want to know
If you′ve got the answer
Just leave me alone

I would be patient but it takes so long
I don′t want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day

If you′ve got a vision
Then I don′t want to see
If you′ve got a notion
Don′t waste it on me

The Offspring - Kill The President

In a world without leaders
Who′d start all the wars?
The world that you′re saving
Will always be yours

Kill the President
Listen to the voice of reason
Unify with that single line
Stop the man with the power
Of the government
A leader′s not the center
Of democracy

In a world without leaders
Who′d make people starve?
The world that we′re saving
Will always be ours

Everyone says
Well maybe I′ll make a difference
Thinking they′ve got plenty of time
But you′re squeezed
A little tighter everyday
Punished before you can commit a crime

In a world without leaders
Who′d start all the wars?
The world that you′re saving
Will always be yours

Kill the President
Listen to the voice of reason
Unify with that single line
Stop the man with the power
Of the goverment
A leader′s not the center
Of democracy

America
All of your enemies
Come from within
But you lash out so
It is seen
Like some frightened child
In an angry world
Or the fall of Rome
Your demise comes
From your own hands

In a world without leaders
Who′d start all the wars?
The world that you′re saving
Will always be yours

In a world without leaders
We might have a chance
But we′ll never see it
As long as there′s

Look at the crowd and tell me whether
All are surrounded
But none are together
If you′re awake, look all around
At all of the people

Without sounding preachy
Or begging the question
Melt with your minds
Melt with each other
Don′t be surrounded
Don′t be so alone

The Offspring - Come Out Swinging

You brace and hold it all inside
It′s more than you can stand
No one around even tries
Tries to understand

Don′t turn away, don′t turn away
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They′re in your way
But as long as you′re swinging
Strong then you′ll get by

Your pacing′s wearing out a line
Right beside your bed
The scene replays a million times
Stuck inside your head

And though you stand in place
Your mind escapes
Read between the lies
Smile′s on your face
You fake like you′re ok

Don′t turn away, don′t turn away
Come out swinging
Out on your own
They′re in your way
You may be stinging
But you′ll get by
Don′t turn away, don′t turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
The pain inside can guide your way

Midnight, no sleep
Inside, you scream to
No one, hears you fall
Daylight, prove me today
One more try

Don′t turn away, don′t turn
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They′re in your way
You may be stinging
But you′ll get by
Donat turn away, don′t turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
Pain inside
Leads you through so you′ll get by

When you won′t go along
Some will feel like you can′t find your way
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I′ve seen it all before
Now don′t get me wrong
I′ve seen many a life gone astray
When someone goes
All your bows won′t make it any better so let it go

Shut up and take it like a man
You need us to get a life
For your own good we′ll take you by the hand
′Cause you need a little more

Maybe no one will say it
Maybe no one′s aware it goes on
All I know
All I know it′s like going off the deep end
Could you make a decision?
Could you think for yourself and go on?
Everyone knows
Everyone knows you′ve got to fit into the mainstream so save your woes

Close your eyes
Look away now
Make believe while you can
So you′d best go along
Don′t let on if you can′t find your way
Many more
Many more do it for you
Because heaven knows
Heaven knows it′s like playing with fire
Your life′s a throw

Hey man you know I′m really okay
The gun in my hand will tell you the same
But when I′m in my car
Don′t give me no crap
Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap
When I go driving I stay in my lane
But getting cut off makes me insane
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I′m gonna wreck this fucker′s ride
I guess I got a bad habit
And it ain′t goin′ away Yeah
Well they say the road′s a dangerous place
If you flip me off I′m the danger you′ll face
You drive on my ass
You′re foot′s on the gas
And your next breath is your last
Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease
Something′s odd

The Offspring - Demons

Clouds pass over the moon
Like an eye that shows impending doom
Tension in this misty air
Souls pass into the room
Drawn in by a lost memory
You will join them in the moonlight

You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in death

Time passes like the wind
As we race to beat days dusky grin
Mornings just a moment away
Your body glistens in candlelight
As we all look on in fiendish delight
The ritual is just beginning

Come fulfill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
As virgins and spectres sing
This madness will never cease

In the dead of night
You will follow
In the footsteps of many others
Who have come before
I will show you the altar
Your Aztec eyes, Egyptian hair
Your beauty bestoved upon my lair
I′ve loved you before, in other lives
But you′ve never meant as much to me
Never meant as much to me as now

In this night of sacrifice
where blood is spilt
That will never spill again
But in your linen robes
We want you now
We want you now
You could never ask for more than that

You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in
Come fulfill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
This madness will never cease

The Offspring - Living In Chaos

Somewhere the time was right, could have been gone in ten
This world is hard to fight, hitting you once, hit it again
To know the way it feels, everyone gets knocked down
When you get up itas real, by taking it back, turn it around

Get on it, up on it
Get on it wouldn′t wanna be you
Get on it, out on it
Get on it no oneas gonna free you
You know, when youare keeping it slow
No matter where you wanna go wouldnat wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It′s on we′re living in chaos

Somewhere along the line, things get chipped away
This place keeps going down, gets a little worse every day
I see hate and greed, this worldas a messed up town
Embrace the pain and see, by taking it back, you turn it around

The Offspring - Tehran

In your plane in the blue sky
You roam again
Words that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster
This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iran

The Captain said kill or die
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran

Warrior, the time bombs
About to go
What will you feel
Will you even wonder
If the man that′s in your sights
Ever kissed his girl goodbye

The President said let it ride
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran

Great Satan
Our flags our burning

Soon America may find
Its young men in the sand
Where there casualty
Is just a number
In Iran

The President said let it ride
You will be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran
