The Offspring - Lyrics!

Nitro (Youth Energy) - Smash

Our generation
Sees the world not the same as before
We might as well just throw it all
And live like there's no tomorrow
There's no tomorrow
We are the ones
Who are living under the gun everyday
You might be gone before you know
So live like there's no tomorrow-ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow-you ain't gonna live it for me
Believe it
The official view of the world has changed
In a whole new way
Live fast cause if you don't take it
You'll never make it
So if you understand me
And if you feel the same
Then you will know what nitro means
You'll live like there's no tomorrow-ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow-you ain't gonna live it for me
There's no tomorrow

Bad Habit - Smash

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 gonna wreck this fucker's ride

I guess I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away
Yeah 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 *ss
Your 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
I feel like I'm God
You stupid dumbsh*t goddam motherf*cker
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this f*cker's ride

I guess I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away
Yeah I got a bad habit
And it ain't goin' away
Yeah

Gotta Get Away - Smash

I'm getting edgy all the time
Someone around me just a step behind
It's kinda scary the shape I'm in
The walls are shakin' and closin' in

Too fast or a bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people and it's startin' 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
Think I'm on a roll but I think it's kinda weak
Sayin' all I know is I gotta get away from me

Tell you somethin' just ain't right
My head's all loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends cause they all bug
Life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped

If you reason don't you know
Your own pre-occupation is where you'll go
I think I'm being followed, I look around
It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground

Sitting on the bed or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take
Think I'm on a roll but I think it's kinda weak
Sayin' all I know is I gotta get away from me

Gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me

Sitting on the bed or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take
Think I'm on a roll but I think it's kinda weak
Sayin' all I know is I gotta get away from me

Genocide - Smash

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

One two three four
Dog eat dog everyday
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat dog to get by
Hope you like my genocide

I find it's 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 in time if we can see the errors of our ways
Would anyone change it anyhow?
Our time is up

One two three four
Dog eat dog everyday
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat dog to get by
Hope you like my genocide

I bet you'd only run
If you saw what grows inside
Our own
I bet you'd lead the way
If it were up to you to decide
But it's not

One two three four
Dog eat dog everyday
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat dog to get by
Hope you like my genocide
Like a silver flame
Like suicide
Like killing boy
One two three four

Something to Believe In - Smash

Hmm I especially enjoyed that one. Let's see what's next.
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
Things that we hold dear
Empty promise is all you'll find

Give me somethin'
Somethin' to believe in
Somethin' to believe in
Somethin' to believe in
Somethin' to believe in
I believe in the changin' of the guard
Put our feet on the ground
See it happen in your own backyard
Everything breaks down
Do you accept what you are told
Without even thinking
Throw it all you'll make your own

Give me somethin'
Somethin' to believe in
Somethin' to believe in
Somethin' to believe in
Somethin' 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

Give me somethin'
Somethin' to believe in
Somethin' to believe in
Somethin' to believe in
Somethin' to believe in

Come Out and Play - Smash

You gotta keep 'em separated

Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease

The gangs stake their own campus locales
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guy's colors and the other's don't mix
They're gonna bash it up

Hey man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play

By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste

It goes down the same as a thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score

Your never ending spree of death a violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope

Self Esteem - Smash

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practice 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 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?

We'll I'l relate this little bit
It happens more than I'de like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score

Now I know she's playing with me
But that's ok cause I've got no self esteem

The Meaning Of Life - Ixnay On The Hombre

On the way
Trying to get where I'd like to stay
I'm alway's feeling steered away
By someone tyring to tell me
What to stay 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

Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in the 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
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!

All I Want - Ixnay On The Hombre

Day after day your, home life's a wreck
The powers that be, just breathe down your neck
You get no respect, you get no relief
You've gotta speak up, and yell out your peace!

So back off your rules
And back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive

Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
All I want
All I want
Yeah yeah yeah yeah YEAH!

How many times, is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say?
You try being cool, you feel like a lie
You've played by their rules, not it's their turn to try!

So back off your rules
And back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive

Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
All I want
All I want

I said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen then it might make sense

So back off your rules
And back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive

Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
All I want
All I want
Yeah yeah yeah yeah YEAH!

I Choose - Ixnay On The Hombre

Look at me I'm falling
Off a cliff now
I can still hear my mama yelling no no no
But the words mean nothing
Can't catch up to me now
And the view's so beautiful all the way down

When I was a little boy
Sucking juice from a bottle
Believing my perceptions were oh, so real
But I didn't know nothing
Still knowing nothing
Was just enouph for me to know the way I feel

This is life
What a f*ucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose

Look at me, I'm swollen
Like a babana fish now
I'm never gonna make it, make it out of this hole
But I keep on laughing
Doesn't really matter
There's dozens of reasons for explaining my soul

This is life
What a f*ucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose

Don't know who made this all come true
But now while your here you've just gotta do
What you gotta do (one two three four!)

Now if I wasn't such a weenie
Do you think you'd still love me?
Pretending I'm an airplane on the living room floor
Like a lovely genorator
You stand right by me
And if words were wisdom
I'd be talking even more

So I keep on falling
As I'm looking back above me
Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot
Now I'm like Deniro
I'm Amarillo
And I'll never know when I hit the ground

This is life
What a f*ucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose

Gone Away - Ixnay On The Hombre

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal
It's so unfair

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah, it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and hail mary's
Can't bring back
What's taken from me

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah, it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
Oh, please let me trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah, it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away

Have You Ever - Americana

Falling, I'm falling
have you ever walkied through a room
but it was more like the room passed around you
like there was a leash around your neck that pulled
you through

have yoy ever been at some place
recognizing everybody's face
untill you relized that there was no one there you knew
well i know

some days, my souls confined and out of mind
sleep forever
some days, I'm so outshined and out of time
have you ever

falling, I'm falling
have you ever buried your face in you hands
cause no one around you understands
or has the slightest idea what it is that makes
you be
have you ever felt like there was more
like someone else was keeping score
and what could make you whole was simply out of reach
well I know

someday I'll try again and not pretend
this time forever
someday I'll get it straight but not today
have you ever

falling, I'm falling
some days, my souls confined and out of mind
sleep forever
some days, my darkest friend is me agian
have you ever
someday I'll try again and not pretend
this time forever
someday I'll get it straight but not today

when the truth walks away
everybody says
cause the truth about the world is crime does pay

so if you walk away, who is gonna stay
cause I'd like to think the world is a better place

when the truth walks away, everybody stays
cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay

so if you walk away
who is gonna stay
cause I'd like to make the world be a better place

when the truth walks away
everybody stays
cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay

so if you walk away
who is gonna stay
cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
I'd like to leave the world as a better place
I'd like to think the world

My friends got a girlfriend

No Brakes - Americana

Lay awake
I don't give a sh*t
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 alright
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
No Brakes

Fuses glow
Wounds festering
Till 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 someone's got to give now

Lay awake
I don't give a sh*t
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

Someone said it's alright
Save it now, Don't say it for my sake
Someone said it 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 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 alright
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
No Brakes
No Brakes
No Breaks

The End Of The Line - Americana

When the sirens flash is gone
And we're left to carry on
All the memories are too few

When the pastor's music plays
And that casket rolls away
I could live again if you
Just stay alive for me

Please stay now, you left me here alone-
It's the end of the line
Please stay, I can make it on my own-
Make it on my own
It's the end of the line

Now that you are dead and gone
And I'm left to carry on
I could never smile cause you
Won't stay alive for me

Please stay now, you left me here alone-
It's the end of the line
Please stay, I can make it on my own-
Make it on my own
It's the end of the line

Finally
Your final resting day
Is without me
I weep
And think of brighter days
What about me

You can't take back, the one mistake
That still lives on after life it takes
In that one day, that changed our lives
And bitter memories are left behind

Please stay now, you left me here alone-
It's the end of the line
Please stay, I can make it on my own-
Make it on my own

Please stay now, you left me here alone-
It's the end of the line
Please stay, I can make it on my own-

Feelings - Americana

Feelings,
nothing more than feelings
trying to forget my
feelings of hate

Imagine
beating on your face
trying to forget my
feelings of hate

Feelings
For all my life I feel it
I wish I'd never met you
You'll make me sick again

Feelings...whoa, oh, oh
Feelings...whoa, oh, oh
Feelings of hate on my mind

Feelings
Feelings like I've never liked you
Feelings like I wanna kill you
Live in my heart

Feelings
Feelings like I wanna deck you
Feelings like I've gotta get you
Out of my life

Feelings, whoa, oh, oh
Feelings, whoa, oh, oh
Feelings, the hates in my eyes.

Feelings, whoa, oh, oh
Feelings, whoa, oh, oh
Feelings, you're not very nice.

Go!

Feelings, whoa, oh, oh
Feelings of hate on my mind

Feelings, get out of my life.

Feeeeelllliinnggss, whoa, ohh, ohh
Feeeeelllliinnggss, whoa, ohh, ohh
Feeeeelllliinnggss, get out of my life

Staring At the Sun - Americana

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them

If I seem bleak
Well you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

Though you hear me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

The Kids Aren't Alright - Americana

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

Now the neighbourhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
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
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on?
The cruellest dream, reality

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Everybody knows money can be made from the internet. But some do not know how, or don't know how to choose the best companies. I'll tell you what is the best one! Try Desktop Dollars and see the cash get in!

She's Got Issues - Americana

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 sh*t

Yeah!
Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
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

Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
She thinks 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 nonstop, 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

Yeah!
Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
She's playing the victim
And taking it all out on me

My god she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay

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

Walla Walla - Americana

Goodbye my friend, you've messed up again
You're going to prison, you're off to the pen
You've gotten off easy so many times
But I guess no one told you how to GET A LIFE!

The judge wasn't lenient like he was before
You got three to five and a kick out the door
The public defender really did try
Too little, too late, you didn't GET A LIFE!

Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination

Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others

Well, I'll see ya

That car looked so tempting, so easy to drive
Just like that apartment that you burglarized
You started to run, but didn't get far
Cause under your arm was a VCR!

I didn't do it!
I didn't do nothin' man
This is bullsh*t!
He just gave it to me
It was a present!

Ho ho, not this time my friend
You'll be in lockdown by ten
I'm afraid you can't talk your way out of this one, son
Now four walls are your 24-hour-a-day, constant companions!!

Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time!
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination

Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others

Well, I'll see ya
Well, I'll see ya
Have a nice life

Americana - Americana

Well i'd like to tell you all about my dream, it's a place
Where strip malls abound and diversion's mere moments away
Where culture's defined by the
Ones least refined
And you'll be left behind
If you don't fit in

It's all distorted
In americana my way

Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true
Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tat's right away
I want it right now cause my generation don't like to wait
My future's determined by
Thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion
But it's okay

Everything's backwards
In americana my way

Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true
I'm a product
Of my environment
So don't blame me, i just work here
My rights are denied by
Those least qualified
Trading profit for pride
But it's okay

Everything's backwards
In americana my way

My nightmare has come true
My nightmare has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true

Pay the Man - Americana

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
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
Come down to sorry and sable
It's always the man
Always keeping you down
Bow down cause I see it before me
Shadow and light
That always keeps you running
Shut up you talk too much
Pay the man
Shut up you talk too much
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
Pay the man
Shut up you talk too much
Pay the man
Shut up you talk too much
Pay the man
