Playlist The Offspring

the offspring - all i have left is you

I'll be the one
Spin me around
Lifting you up
And holding me down

Inside the storm is raging
It blows up in your eyes
Inside the heart is breaking
The river is running dry

I could run, I could hide
When I'm crashing down is the one who saves me

All in a twaddle
Grab around me now with the phone
And we're holding on
And there's nothing else to hold on to

So don't tell me when it's gone
'Cuz all I have left is you

All of love, out of time
When I'm falling down, you are the one who saves me

All in a twaddle
Grab around me now with the phone
And we're holding on
And there's nothing else to hold on to

So don't tell me when it's gone
'Cuz all I have left is you

Oh-Oh
When there's nothing else to hold on to
So don't tell me when it's gone
Cuz all I have left is you

I'll be the one
Lifting you up again
Inside the storm is raging
Hold me down, hold me down

Oh yeah
Lie that you are waiting (2x)
Lie that you are waiting for
And we're holding on
And there's nothing else to hold on to
So don't tell me when it's gone
'Cuz all I have left is you

Oh-Oh
When there's nothing else to hold on to
So don't tell me when it's gone
'Cuz all I have left is you
Oh-Oh
All I have left
All I have left is you

the offspring - the kids aren t alright

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

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn (oh oh)
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn (oh oh)
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 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

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

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
Its 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 lives
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 another again and again
Like someone on his dying breath

the offspring - bad habit

Hey man you know I'm really ok .
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 just might snap .

When I go driving I stay in my lane .
But getting cut off- it makes me insane .

Open up the glove box,
Reach inside,
I'm gonna wreck this fuckers ride,
'Cause I got a bad habit .
Of blowin' away,
Yeah, Yeah
I got a bad habit,
Yeah, Yeah
And it 'aint goin' away,
Yeah, Yeah---
Ohh Ohh Ooh ohh

Well they say the road's a dangerous place .
If you flip me off I'll get in your face .
You drive on my ass,
Your foot's on the gas,
And your next breath is your last-

'Cause I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away,
Yeah, Yeah
I got a bad habit,
Yeah, Yeah
And it 'aint goin' away,
Yeah, Yeah---
Ohh Ohh Ooh ohh

Drivers are rude,
Such attitudes,
But when i show my piece-,
Complaints cease, Something's odd,
I feel like I'm God,
You stupid dumb-shit god-damn motherfucker

Open up the glove box,
Reach inside,
I'm gonna wreck this fuckers ride,
'Cause I got a bad habit,
Of blowin' away,
Yeah, Yeah
I got a bad habit,
Yeah, Yeah
And it 'aint goin' away,
Yeah, Yeah---
Ohh Ohh Ooh ohh

the offspring - 80 times

80 times was all it took for him, he has no more tries
No one seems to care too much for him
You can see it in his eyes
Drive down the street that he's on
Don't look his way
You keep going on and on and on
But you can't hear him say
Help Help!
Help Me!
Help Help!

Help Help!

Help me!

Help Help!

the offspring - all along

Deep inside secret's burning
I Should have known all the while what's true
I went along, to fool myself
Can't go on, I can't 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 it's true
Take it on, or turn your back
Either way, you can't 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 - all i want

ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

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

Chorus:

So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want be controlled
It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want

ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
You've tried being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by their rules
Now it's their turn to try

Chorus

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

Chorus

Ya, Ya, Ya, Ya, Ya

the offspring - baghdad

In your plane in the blue sky
You roam around
Worlds that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster

'This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iraq'

The president said, 'Let it ride'
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad

Warrior, the time bomb's about to go
What will you feel
Will you even wonder
If the man that's in your sights
Ever kissed his girlfriend good-bye
The Captain said, 'Kill or die'
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad

Great satan, our flags are burning
Now America has found its young men In the sand
Where their casualty Is just another number
In Iraq

The president said, 'Let it ride'
You will be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
In Baghdad
In Baghdad

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 O.K.
She never really used her head anyway

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

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

Watch my Girlfriend 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 of the bloody axe
Scoop all the heads into my burlap sack

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

the offspring - blackball

In this world of hate and shallowness
Where enemies become your consolation
And those of us who win the game give up our minds
I don't call that winning
Say this doesn't apply to you
But ask yourself first
What have I done today to win the game
And just what have I sacrificed

Win the battle lose the war
I know I've played this game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel

Reflect on all our yesterdays
My own words choke me
Why were they spoken
Regret for the things I've said and done
Just can't compare with
Regret for those that I have never tried
So blame this world or blame yourself
It's really all the same
When you are standing on the precipice
From which you just can't return

Win the battle lose the war
I know I've played this game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel

In the style of forgotten men
I look to my horizon
I see nothing
While thoughts of guns and desecration
Sweep through my mind
But only coffins and bones remain
As I look to you
The emptiness behind your eyes
Seals my decision
Can't carry on in this world of juggling
Where all this thoughtlessness and bludgeoning
Your key to success
What kind of tradition to carry on

Blackball The new disease
Blackball The new disease
Blackball Your evil ways
Have found their way inside me

Blackball The new disease
Blackball The new disease
Blackball For a better life
In this high tech dog eat dog existence

the offspring - bloodstains

They can make things worse for me
Sometimes Iâ??d rather die
They can tell me lots of things
But I can't see eye to eye
Well, I know they know the way I think
I know they always will
But some day I'm gonna change my mind
Sometimes I'd rather kill

Bloodstains
Speed kills
Fast cars
Cheap thrills
Rich girls
Fine wine
I've lost my sense, I've lost control, I've lost my mind

Things seem so much different now
The scene has died away
I haven't got a steady job
And I've got no place to stay
Well, it's a futuristic modern world
But things aren't what they seem
Some day you'd better wake up
From this fucked up fantasy

Bloodstains
Speed kills
Fast cars
Cheap thrills
Rich girls
Fine wine
I've lost my sense, I've lost control, I've lost my mind

the offspring - pretty fly

Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
And all the girls say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy)
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis

You know it's kind of hard just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue, and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well, he makes up in denial

So don't debate, play it straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
So hey, hey do that brand new thing

Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
And all the girls say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy)

He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice they're gonna kick his lily ass

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world loves wannabes
So hey, hey do that brand new thing

Now he's getting a tattoo, yeah, he's gettin' ink done
He asked for a "13" but they drew a "31"
Friends say he's trying too hard
And he's not quite hip
But in his own mind, he's the, he's the dopest trip

Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
The world loves wannabes
So let's get some more wannabes
And hey, hey do that brand new thing!
