The Offspring

I Choose

I Choose

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 is so beautiful
All the way down
When I was a little boy
Sucking juice from a bottle
Believeing my perceptions were oh so real
But I didn't know nothing
Still know nothing
Was just enough for me to know the way I feel

This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nighmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose

Look at me I'm swollen
Like a bananafish now
I'm never gonna make it out of my hole
But I keep on laughing
Doesn't really matter
There's dozens of reasons for explaining my soul
When I was a teenager
Suckin' booze with the vatos
Discussing who was gonna live to be 21
They said they wouldn't make it
They didn't make it
We're all naked when the day is said and done

This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nighmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose

Don't know who made this all come true
But know while you're here
You just gotta do what you gotta do

Now if I wasn't such a weenie
Do you think you'd still love me
Prending I'm an airplane on the living room floor
But like a lovely generator
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 fucked up thing we do
What a nighmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose

Million Miles Away

Million Miles Away

There was a time, looking through myself
Wanting to pretend
If I escaped, I could fill myself
I don't think you can
Been far and wide
But that hole inside
Never really leaves
When I went away, what I really left
Left behind was me

It's telling me
To be on my way home
Million miles away
I can't stay

Each passing day, every passing face
Seems like such a blur
I long to be home, silently
Lying next to her
Just to get back, by her side is all
All I need to be
Cause I went away
But what I really left
Left behind was me

I need to be
Getting on my way home
A million miles away
Million miles away
I can't take

Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)

Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)


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

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, 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 wannabe's
So do that brand new thing

(Give it to me, baby..)
ah-ah ah-ah
(Give it to me baby..)
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 wannabe's
So do that brand new thing

Now he's getting a tattoo
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 dopest trip

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 wannabe's
The world loves wannabe's
So let's get some more wannabe's
And do that brand new thing

Self Esteem

Self Esteem


la lala lalalalala

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
thats okey cause I like the obuse
now I know that's 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

ooohwee yo hehehe

When she's saying all 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????....

yeah

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
She's 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

o wehooo yehehehe oohhhh yehehehe

She's Got Issues

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

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

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

Smash

Smash

Head over heals i've fit in before
now i don't want to do it no more
i've held it all in with blood on my face
built it up man so bad you can taste
i don't slag no one
i don't even judge
don't give a shit cause i'm not gonna budge
i just want to be who i want to be
guess that's hard for others to see
i'm not a trendy asshole
i do what i want
i do what i feel like
i'm not a trendy asshole
i don't fuck if it's good enough for you
cause i'm alive
smash is the way you feel all alone
like an outcast you're out on your own
smash is the way you deal with your life
like an outcast you're smashing your strife
head over heals i've fit in before
now i don't want to do it no more
i just want to be who i want to be
guess that's hard for others to see

Special Delivery

Special Delivery

Hey now do you see me down the way
Been watching you everyday
In my car on your street is where I stay
I know you better that way
One day I'll be meeting you for real
You'll feel bad like I feel

It'll blow you away - You're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away - You're gonna fall for me

Hey now well I'm knocking on your door
This special delivery is yours
My infatuation it's true
Hello, I got something for you

ll blow you away You're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away * You're gonna fall for me
If you hadn't sold me
I'd still be away You're right in front of me
Then, I'll be on my way
Breathing you okay

Can't break from my sins
Cannot pray

But you can't kill a man when he's got no hope
You can't kill a man when he's got no hope

Staring At The Sun

Staring At The Sun

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
As you`re staring at the sun
As you`re staring at the sun
As you`re staring at the sun
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 cant confiscate
So forgive me, but I wont be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As youre staring at the sun
As you`re staring at the sun

When I ran I didnt feel like a runaway
When I escaped I didnt feel like I got away
Theres more to living than only surviving
Maybe I‘m not there, but I‘m still trying

Though you hear me
I dont think that you relate
My will is something
That you cant confiscate
So forgive me, but I wont be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As youre staring at the sun
As you´re staring at the sun

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while youre trying to find your way
Everyones around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I wont let them

If I seem bleak
Well youd be correct
And if I dont speak
Its cause I cant disconnect
But I wont be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you‘re staring at the sun
As you`re staring at the sun
As you`re staring at the sun
As you`re staring at the sun
As you`re staring at the sun

The End Of The Line

The End Of The Line


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't make it on my own - it's the end of the line
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

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

The Kids Aren't Alright

The Kids Aren't Alright

When we were young the future was so bright
the old neighborhood was so alive
and every kid on the whole damn street
was gonna make it bib and not be beat

now the neighborhood is cracked and torn
the kids are grown up but their lifes are worn
how can one little street
swallow so many lifes?

chances thrown, nothing`s free
longing for what used to be
still it`s hard, hard to see
fragile lifes, shattered dreams

jamie had a chance, well she really did
instead she dropped down 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
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 lifes, shattered dreams

chances thrown, nothing`s free
longing for what used to be
still it`s hard, hard to see
fragile lifes, shattered dreams
