Offspring lyrics
Album: Conspiracy Of One [2000]
| Intro
| |
|
When I step out to the microphone,
It comes out sounding something like this
|
| Come Out Swinging
| |
|
You braced and hold it all inside
Its more than you can stand
No one around even trys
Trys to understand
CHORUS:
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
Come out swinging
Come out Alone Or either way
Throw it away
As long as you're swinging
One day you'll get by
You're place seems wearing out of line
Right beside your bed
The scene replays a million times
Stuck inside your head
And though you've stayed in place
You're mind escapes
Read between the lies
The smile that's on you're face
You fake like you're ok
CHORUS:
Don't turn away
Don't turn awayayay
Come out swinging
Out on your own
or either way
Throw it awayayay
You may be stinging
You'll get by
Dont turn away
Dont turn awayayay
Come out swinging
Come out Alone again
Play inside then guide away
Midnight, no sleep
Inside, you scream to
No one, hears you fall
Daylight, prove me today
One more try
CHORUS:
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
Come out swinging
Come out Alone
Or either way
Throw it away
You may be stinging
One day you'll get by
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
Laying inside
Lead you (lead you)
Through
So you'll get by

| Original Prankster

|
You can do it!
Until the break of dawn
Life, Life, and I quote by the letter
Time, Time, Prozac can make it better
Noise, Noise, any kind will do
Can you feel it slip away, well it's all on you
Crime, crime, rockin' like Janet Reno
Time Time, 18 and life in Chino
Freud, Freud all along its true
Well you see the common day catches up to you yeah
CHORUS:
Knock down the walls
Its alive in you
Knock down the place
You alone it's true
Knock down the walls
Its alive in you
Youre gonna keep your head up through it all
Youre gonna bust out ohh
Original Prankster
Break out yeah
Original yeah
Bust out ohh
Original Prankster
You'll never stop now, stop now
That's what the main men say
You can do it!
You know it smells like shit, goddamn
Tag team, the double header
Son of Sam fire always makes it better
Navigate with style and aplumb
Cos wherever you're at......
Lies lies says hes down at the Bahamas
Tries tries all you little hoochy mammas
No way, none of this is true
When you see it coming down when the joke's on you
CHORUS
Hey!
You can do it!
Time, time, so cool to see ya
Nein, nein dont wanna be ya
Dime dime, so cool to see ya
Nein, nein dont wanna be ya
Crime, crime fine sensamilla
Crime, crime fine sensamilla
Crime, crime fine sensamilla
You'll see the common day catching up to you
CHORUS
|
| Want You Bad
| |
|
If you could only read my mind
You would know the things between us, ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the strange side, I cant lie
PRE-CHORUS:
Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come Around now
Cant you see
CHORUS:
I want you
All tatooed
I want you bad
Complete me
Mistreat me
I want you to be bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I feel waited, so long
Someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I've waited
So come on
Get out at close time
Pull out those highlights
Come around now can you see
CHORUS:
I want you
In a final soon
I want you bad
Complicated
X Rated
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
INTERLUDE:
Dont get me wrong
I know your only being good
But if thats whats wrong
I guess I just misunderstood
CHORUS:
I want you
All tatooed
I want you bad
Complicated
X rated
I want you bad
I mean it
I need it
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad, really, really bad

| Million Miles Away
| |
|
There was a time
Looking through myself
Wanted to pretend
If I escaped
I could feel myself
I dont think you can
Been far and wide
But that hole inside
Never really leaves
I went away
But I really lost
Left behind was me
Install in me
Clear me on my way
Ohhhhhhhh
Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh
A Million Miles Away
(Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh)
A Million Miles Away
I can't stay
I can't stay
(Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh)
A Million Miles Away
Each passing day
Every passing face
Seems like such a gloom
I long to be
Home silently
Lying next to her
Just to get back
By her side is all,
All I need to be
I went away
What I really lost
Left behind was me
I need to be
Getting on my way
Ohhhh oh oh oh
Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh
Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh
A Million Miles Away
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
A Million Miles Away
I can't take
I can't take
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
A Million Miles Away
INTERLUDE (guitar solo)
Install in me
Turn me on my way
I cant take, I cant take
A Million Miles Away
I cant take, I cant take
A Million Miles Away
I cant take, I cant take
A Million Miles Away
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I cant take
I cant take
A Million Miles Away

| Dammit, I Changed Again
| |
|
Hey come inside
While I stand here acting bored
(Yes I feel this way)
Clear out the cobwebs in my soul
CHORUS:
This time I turn around
Things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
Now I don't see things
The way Idid before
Things I feel today
Just don't matter anymore
It doesn't make any sense
To feel so different everyday
(Yes I feel this way)
When nothing's changed except for
CHORUS:
This time I turn around
Things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
Next time I...
CHORUS:
Next time I turn around
Things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
INTERLUDE
CHORUS:
This time I turn around
Things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
I see it

| Living In Chaos
| |
|
Got a sing song, man it goes like this
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 it's real,
By taking it back, turn it around
CHORUS:
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Never gonna be you
You know when you're keeping it slow
Better where you're gonna go
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It's over when you're living in chaos
Somewhere along the line
Things get chipped away
This place keeps going down
Getting worse every day
I see the hate and greed
This world's messed up town
Release the pain and see
Taking in back, turn it around
CHORUS:
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Never gonna be you
You know when you're keeping it slow
Better where you wanna go
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It's over
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya
Got a sing song and it goes like this
So when the time was right
Could've been calling down
This world is hard to fight
Beeting your ways, hit it again
But You know the way it feels
Everyone gets knocked down
When you get up it's real
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
(Ya ya ya)
Get on it, up on it, get on it
(Ya ya ya)
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Never gonna be you
Get on it, up on it, get on it
(Ya ya ya)

| 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
Itıll 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
|
| One Fine Day
| |
|
If I had a perfect day
I would have it start this way
Open up the fridge and have a tall boy yeah
Then I'd meet up with my friends
Head out to the game again
We don't even really even care who wins
(Hey) Wins (Hey) one, two, three
CHORUS:
Now the time just seems to fly when we're hanging with the boys
When we're cheering and when no one keeps the score
Now the game is cool to see, you can high five up to me
Count them running over one, two, three
Operation is inside and the field is open wide
When you break everything you know you're still alive
And The cops will you make you pay if you think you'll get away
Then you know that it's One Fine Day (Hey)
And before the day was through
We could torch a car or two
Then have ourselves another tallboy yeah
Water hoses in the lot
That's the real game that's on
I don't really give a shit who wins, (HEY!) Wins (HEY!) one, two, three
CHORUS:
Now the time just seems to fly when we're hanging with the boys
When we're cheering and when no one keeps the score
Now the game is cool to see, you can high five up to me
Count them running over one, two, three
Operation is inside and the field is open wide
When you break everything you know you're still alive
And The cops will you make you pay if you think you'll get away
Then you know that it's One Fine Day (Hey)
I believe it's my God-given right
To destroy everything in my sight
It never gets dull, it never gets old
The only it gets is more bold
Drinkin', Fightin', Goin' to the game
In our world it's a way to stay sane
If you're askin' me, to have it my way
I'd say that's One Fine Day
CHORUS:
Now the time just seems to fly when we're hanging with the boys
When we're cheering and when no one keeps the score
Now the game is cool to see, you can high five up to me
Count them running over one, two, three
Operation is inside and the field is open wide
When you break everything you know you're still alive
And The cops will you make you pay if you think you'll get away
Then you know that it's One Fine Day (Hey)
Then you know that it's One Fine Day
Hey Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

| All Along
| |
|
Deep inside I seek whats burning
Should have known all the while whats true
Went along, to fool myself
Can't go on, I can't escape it
CHORUS:
All along
Think I'm really new
It was down in the words I've spoken
All along
Still believe in you
Now believe we are betrayed and broken
Close my eyes from the burning
All along, all the while its true
Take it on, turn your back
Either way, you can't escape it
CHORUS
All along
Think I'm really new
It was down in the words I've spoken
All along
Still believe in you
Now believe we are betrayed and broken
INTERLUDE:
ohhh ohhh oh oh oh
All along
Think I'm really new
It was down in the words I've spoken
All along
Still believe in you
Now believe we are betrayed and broken
All along, I still believe in you

| Denial, Revisited
| |
|
So here we go
Having the same old fight again
Though there she goes
Same old game that never ends
If I could say all the right words
I know I could make you stay
If I could say all the right words
Things would work out alright
CHORUS:
And if you go
I won't believe
That it's forever
And you can go
I'll never leave
'Cause it's not over
Replay last night
Talking out don't make it right
I know she's tried
My whole world is her
And all we've got now
CHORUS:
And if you go
I won't believe
That it's forever
I won't let go
Even if she
Says that it's over
I know it'll be
Different this time
If you just stay
And when we wrote this story
How did it end?
It was you and me for all our lives
Come on, donıt 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

| Vultures
| |
|
Now I could lie, by your side
Oh so ready for you
Don't be low, catch the crows
We'll be right beside you too
Now all's a rage, it's a stage
It's a waste of time though
And your style, seems worth while
But this lonely road has turned
PRE-CHORUS:
And you faded there
Favorite day to dare
Vultures wating
If you don't like me satisfy me
CHORUS:
Yeah, I don't know yeah
Yeah, I won't go yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?
And in the sun a loaded gun
Makes for conversation
All the while in denial
It's too late for me to change
PRE-CHORUS:
And you were unchanged
Nothing more has changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
It does escape me
CHORUS:
Yeah, I don't know yeah
Yeah, I won't go yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?
Yeah, I won't play yeah
Yeah, go away yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?
INTERLUDE (guitar solo)
PRE-CHORUS:
And you never change
Nothing more has changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
It does escape me
CHORUS:
Yeah, I don't know yeah
Yeah, I won't go yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?
Yeah, I won't play yeah
Yeah, go away yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?

Red over white
It's one last fatal scene
Brought on by
Someone unseen
Moving on their own
Bring on the night
And bring us all to our knees
All are gone and none agreed
The one who acts alone
CHORUS:
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins when it's done
Conspiracy of one
Bring on the night
And bring us all to our knees
All are gone and none agreed
The one who acts alone
Red over white
It's one last fatal scene
Brought on by someone unseen
Moving on their own
CHORUS x 2:
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins when it's done
Conspiracy of one
INTERLUDE
CHORUS:
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins when it's done
Conspiracy of one
According to Dexter this song is about "a mass bomber kinda guy"
