All lyrics by the OFFSPRING except for "Killboy Powerhead" by the 
Didjits and "Hey Joe" by William M. Roberts

This is a lyrics guide to (hopefully in the future) all Offspring songs 
from thier published albums, EP's and singles. This is my first attempt 
at something like this so if you have any comments EMAIL me at the above 
address. I have attempted to include a FULL list of lyrics to the songs 
and attempted to include all the OHhh's and AHhh's as well so that is 
what all the other crap in the songs is. This is for all of the songs 
except those from Baghdad which are copied word for word from the lyrics
(yes even though only about 10% of them are actually sung). Anyhow here 
is a guide to the system I used for the lyrics (If you could call it that). 

(*)    = Words from lyrics sheet but not sung
<*>    = Words or sounds sung that are not on lyrics sheet 
		(basic idea only)
    = Can't tell from lyrics exactly what words are (guess)
*...   = Words or sounds that are continued but can't really be 
	 communicated in text form. (ie. I cant be bothered typing them)
- or ~ = Lyrics that are sung at the same time as the 
	 lead lyrics and/or by another person (usually indented)

Also if anyone has a copy of the Offsprings first album or their 
first 7" I'd really apreciate it if someone could send me a copy 
or the lyrics so I can add them here.  
Thanks heaps for bothering to read this

GET IT RIGHT
I've been told to get what you want
You just gotta give what you can
But I know
For what I want it don't come as easy as that
They say 'look out boy
Tomorrow comes 
And things will look better by then'
But I'll look out the window
Then look in the mirror 
At The same old me again
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
And for I know 
I swear I never will
Do you think, you'd sell your soul 
Just to have one thing turn out right?
When for the thousandth time
You turn and find
That it just makes no difference to try
Like Holden Caulfield I tell myself
There's got to be a better way
Then I lie in bed, and stare at the ceiling
And dream of brighter days
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
And for I know 
I swear I never 
No way out
Same old stuff always drags me down
No way out 
Never gonna get it 

HEY JOE
Hey Joe 
Swab where 
you going with that cosmopolitan gun 
in your hand Hey 
Joe where you chromate chunky 
going Nora with 
that gun in Loas your hand Said I'm

lady down Caught soy messing around 
gay with deafen another man Said
I'm porcelain gonna shoot
pumpkinseed my old lady down
Caught her messing around on me 
Hey Joe I heard sec you shot your old adherent 
confisatory lady 
down Hey corrigable Joe I heard you caught your 
old aim abominable lady slutting 
some other guy
whee and you shot her down
Yes sulky Helga I

paralysis Joe where You hugging

Where you gonna go when p's

Well, I said I'm going way down south 
Mexico way forthwith No one's gonna
put a noose around me I said
I'm going monkey flower 
way down south Mexico way Where
Nostradadomus can be free

THE BLURB
<........................>
Yeah Right. I'm not crazy.

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

KICK HIM WHEN HE'S DOWN
'Hey you're a riddle' I say as I move aside
Like I really need your advice
But you won't leave it alone
Little men try but don't get a lot done
Living in sin doesn't move me either way
I get a feeling your so vague
Like I said before 
Little men come when anything goes
When the rain comes I sit home and prey 
Make it all numb
I wish it all away
All I really need is somewhere to hideaway
		-Kick him when he's down
Here alone I'll put up and fight
Beat me all the way 
I'll take it all night
		-Kick him when he's down
Hey, don't worry I'll get along home alright
Hey everybody's supposed to be the same
So how come there so lame
It's like taking a fall
Keep on running back into that wall
Awake in a dream
Get up and go to work
But I'm felling like such a jerk
Like I said before 
Little men come when everything goes.
Little men come when anything goes
When the rain comes I sit home and prey 
Make it all numb
I wish it all away
All I really need is somewhere to hideaway
		- Kick him when he's down
Here alone I'll put up and fight
Beat me all the way 
I'll take it all night
		- Kick him when he's down
Hey, don't worry I'll get along home alright

'Hey you're a riddle' I say as I move aside
Like I really need your advice
But you won't leave it alone
Little men try but don't get a lot done
Living in sin don't move me either way
I get a feeling your so vague
Like I said before 
Little men come when anything goes

TAKE IT LIKE A MAN
When you wont 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 go astray
When someone goes
All your bows
Won't make it 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 ones 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
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
Close your eyes 
Look away now 
Make believe why you can
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
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.

GET IT RIGHT
I've been told that to get what you want
You just gotta give what you can
(But for all) I know
For what I want it don't come as easy as that
(They say) 'look out boy

Then look in the mirror 
(At) The same old me again
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
And for I know

Just to have one thing turn out right?

Never gonna get  
Get 
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
Get it right now                        -
Get it right now                        -
Get it right now                        -
Get it right right right right  -
No I can't get it, right                -
Still can't get it, right               -
Still can't get it, right               -
But for all I know
I swear I
Swear I
Never, never 
Never, never

DIRTY MAGIC
In my own simple way
I think she want's me only
She says 'come over right away'
But she's just not that way
Her little sole is stolen 
See her put on a brand new face
Pull the shades 
Razor blades
Your so tragic
(I) Hate you so
(But) Love you more
(I'm) So elastic
(The) Things you say
Games you play
Dirty Magic 
I should know better than
To think I'd reach inside her
It's all a cloudy kind of daze
She's not so sweet today
She mocks me
I'm no fighter
It all  seems like such a waste
Pull the shades 
Razor blades
Your so tragic
(I) Hate you so
(But) Love you more
(I'm) So elastic
(The) Things you say
Games you play
Dirty Magic 
It's oversimplified
It's oversimplified
It's oversimplified
Pull the shades 
Razor blades
Your so tragic
(I) Hate you so
(But) Love you more
(I'm) So elastic
(The) Things you say
Games you play
Dirty Magic 

HYPODERMIC
When your feeling low
Hypodermics where you go
When your with yourself
(You) Wish you could be someone else
 Can't you see like you saw any more
Can you feel like you felt like before
Can you face anything any more
When life's a waste
Run away 
Your life's a waste
Run away 
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
 Can't you see like you saw any more
Can you feel like you felt like before
Can you face anything any more
When life's a waste
Run away 
Your life's a waste
Run away 
Run away 
 Your reaching in 
But you don't know where to begin
All your dance and song
Won't matter when your gone
 Can't you see like you saw any more
Can you feel like you felt like before
Can you face anything any more
When life's a waste
Run away 
Your life's a waste
Run away 
Run away 
Run away 
Run away 
Run away 

BURN IT UP
I think I'm burning up inside
I think I'll take a little ride
I think I'm gonna light up everything in sight
I'll drive on by your yard 
And throw a molotov cocktail at you car
Then another one in the local bar
Ignition 
They call it an obsession 
I think it's kinda bitchen' 
I think it's kinda neat
Yeah, I'm I 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

NO HERO
Once you said
You'd stick to it until the end
I guess you lied
They call It suicide
Now your 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 living day by day
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 was a weirdo 
So what did you expect
I ain't no fucking hero 
I'm just living day by day
Johnny's strange behaviour was a tip off they say
But I ain't no fucking saviour 
I'm just living day by day
Little things
Little lies
Hanging till the end
I say it don'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 felling gooooo

L.A.P.D.
When cops are taking care of business I can understand
But the LA story's gone way out of hand
Their acts of aggression 
They say it's justified
But it seems like an obsession
Has started from the inside
There shooting anyone who even tries to run
There shooting little kids with their toy guns
Take it to a jury 
But they don't give a damn
Because the one who tells the truth is always a policeman
Beat all the niggers
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason 
(We're) LAPD
The city of LA
Feels like a prison
With helicopters overhead
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) LAPD
They say their
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 don't really matter 
When your the one getting bruised and battered
Take it to a jury
They'll throw it in your face 
Because justice in LA comes in a can of mace
Beat all the niggers
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason 
(We're) LAPD
LAPD
LAPD

NOTHING FROM SOMETHING
Things are coming down on me 
They never seem to let it be
It seems like everything I say just starts another fight
The pressures building up inside 
I gonna let it out tonight
Shattered glass will cure my ills and make me fell alright
Gonna break it 
And never stop running
Making nothing from something
Making nothing from something
Making nothing from something
Cut me for a lions share 
It's mindless but I don't care
'Cause no matter what I say 
I'm in another fight
Take more shit 
I've had enough 
Tonight I'm gonna rip it up
Broken windows cure me ills and make me feel alright

FOREVER AND A DAY
Look at me while I look at you
Seeing eye to eye is something we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not no a lot but one thing I know
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 wanna 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 
Then it just might save a live or two
A little sun
A little shine
Separates us both
By forever and a day
If you've got the answer
Then I don't wanna know
If you've got the answer
Just keep it your own
If you've got a vision
Then I don't wanna see
If you've got a notion
Don't waste it on me

There's no tomorrow 

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 I just might snap

When I go driving I stay in my lane
But getting cut off it makes me insane
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fuckers ride
I guess I got a bad habit
Of  blowin' away 
	-Yeah
	-Yeah
I got a bad habit 
	-Yeah
	-Yeah
And it ain't goin' away
	-Yeah
	-Yeah
Yeah Yeah heh heh
	-Yeah 
	-Yeah
Yeah Yeah heh heh

Well they say the road is a dangerous place
If you flip me off (I'm the danger you'll face) 
You drive on my ass
Your foot 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 ain't goin' away
	-Yeah
	-Yeah
Yeah Yeah heh heh
	-Yeah
	-Yeah
Yeah Yeah heh heh

Drivers are rude
Such attitudes 
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease 
Something's odd
Feel like I'm god
You STUPID DUMBSHIT GODDAMN MOTHER FUCKER

I open the glove box 
Reach inside 
I'm gonna wreck this fuckers ride
'Cause I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away 
	-Yeah

GOTTA GET AWAY
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 there closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow 
I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show
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
Sayin' all I know is
I gotta get away from me
Tell you something just ain't right 
My head is lose 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 preoccupation is where you'll go
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
I 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
I think I'm on a roll 
But I think It's kinda weak
Sayin' all I know is
I gotta get away from me
I gotta get away from me
I gotta get away from me
I gotta get away from me

GENOCIDE
Our lives run in different ways
Through the rain I see you in the sun
Our star shines anyway 
If you wish upon it we are one
1, 2, 3, 4,
Dog eat dog 
Every day
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat dog
To get buy
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
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
1, 2, 3, 4,
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat dog
To get buy
Hope you like my genocide
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat dog
To get buy
Hope you like my genocide
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
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat dog
To get buy
Hope you like my genocide
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat dog
To get buy
Hope you like my genocide
Like a silver flame
Like suicide
?Like I did before?
1, 2, 3, 4.

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
I believe that reality's gone
Dissolutions real
I believe that morality's gone
And there's nothing to feel
If you take all the sacred things 
The things we hold dear
Empty promise is all you'll find
So give me something 
Some thing to believe in
Some thing to believe in
Some thing to believe in
Some thing to believe in
I believe in a changing 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 and make your own
And give me something
Something to believe in
Some thing to believe in
Some thing to believe in
Some thing to believe in
**Some thing to believe in
Where they lead 
You will follow
 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
Something to believe in.
Some thing to believe in
Some thing to believe in
Some thing to believe in
Some thing to believe in

COME OUT AND PLAY [KEEP 'M SEPARATED].
You gotta keep 'm separated
Like the latest fashion 
Like a spreading disease
Kids are strappin' on the way to the classroom 
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease 
The gangs stake out stake out their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guys colours and the others don't  mix 
There gonna bash it up
bash it up
bash it up
bash it up 
Hey, man you talking 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) Your 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 guys wasted and the others a waste
It goes down the same as a thousand before
No ones getting smarter, no ones learning the score 
The never ending spree of death and violence and hate 
(Your) gonna tie your own rope 
Tie your own rope 
Tie your own
Hey, man you disrespecting me?
	-Take him out
	~You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey, man you talking back to me?
	-Take him out
	~You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey, they don't pay no mind 
(If) Your under 18 you won't be doing any time 
Hey, come out and play
It goes down the same as a thousand before
No ones getting smarter, no ones learning the score 
The never ending spree of death and violence and hate 
(Your) gonna tie your own rope 
Tie your own rope 
Tie your own
Hey, man you talking 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 your under 18 you won't be doing any time 
Hey, come out and play.

SELF ESTEEM

I wrote her off for the tenth time today 
And practiced all the things I would say 
But she came over, and I lost my nerve
I took her back and I made her dessert
Now I know that I'm being used
That's ok man 'cause I like the abuse
I know she playing with me 
That's ok 'cause I've got no self esteem

We make plans to go out and night
I wait till two 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 little bit
Happens more than I 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.

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? 


I'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 
It's always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I've a feeling It'll be a long time
When will the truth come into season
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
I've 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 all again
Heard it all before
Super powers flex their wings 
Hold the world on puppet strings 
Egos will feed 
While citizens bleed 
It's always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I've a feeling It'll be a long time
When will the truth come into season
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
Well if they tried
Maybe they'd see
It'll do a little good to let the world be free
Handshake and a smile
Gets you on through
Then turn it all around with the suicide move
But you know it's not fooling anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you wanna see
But you know it's not fooling any one but me 
You gotta make yourself see what you wanna see


Super powers flex their wings 
Hold the world on puppet strings 
Egos will feed 
While citizens bleed 
It's always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I've a feeling It'll be a long time
When will the truth come into season
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
I've a feeling it'll be a long time

KILLBOY POWERHEAD
He's a pistol grip 
And a lightning rod hammer step
He always bust's his knuckles 
When he's wrenching up his shit
He's (just a) Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead..yeah
You know I saw his woman
She was writing his name in blood 
You know I saw his woman
Hard as a rock
She said she was his baby
(Who) Looked just like the Hoover Dam
You know I saw his woman
Hard as a rock
He's just a Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead 
Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead...yeah
He's a pistol grip 
And a lightning rod hammer step
He always bust's his knuckles 
When he's wrenching up his shit
He's (just a) Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead..yeah
Killboy Powerhead..yeah
Killboy Powerhead..yeah

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
What in the world happened to you?
Before you started tokin'
You used to have a brain
But now you don't get even the simplest of things
I can draw a little picture 
Or even use my hands
I try to explain but you just don't understand
		-Ohaaay
Man your really losing it
		-Ohaaay
And you've really done a lot of junk now
		-Ohaaay
But you keep on abusin' it 
What in the world happened to you?
It's bad enough you do it
You do it to yourself 
But taking someone with you
Well you know it's something else 
I say I'm not that kind of person
I'm not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just don't understand
		-Ohaaay
Man your really losing it
		-Ohaaay
And you've really done a lot of junk now
		-Ohaaay
But you keep on abusin' it 
What in the world happened to you?
		-Ohaaay
Man your really losing it
		-Ohaaay
And you've really done a lot of junk now
		-oohO
But you keep on abusin' it 
What in the world happened to you?
I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack 
If  I thought you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning 
You do it in the night
You lie to refrain just facing your life
So I'll see you man tomorrow
You'll be gackin' up again
I'll see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just don't understand
		-Ohaaay
Man your really losing it
		-Ohaaay
And you've really done a lot of junk now
		-Ohaaay
But you keep on abusin' it 
What in the world happened to
What in the world happened to
What in the world happened to you?

SO ALONE
Look at the crowd and tell me whether
All are surrounded but none are together
If your awake, look all around 
At all of the people 
Still your so alone
So alone 
So alone 
So alo..one




If I could make a suggestion
Without sounding preachy 
Or begging the question
Melt with your minds
Melt with each other
Don't be surrounded 
Don't be so alone 
So alone 
So alone 
So alo..one





NOT THE ONE
I'm not the one who made the world what it is today.
I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago
But now I deal with all the consequences that troubles our times
I carry on and never once have even questioned why
I'm innocent
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders 
I'm innocent the battles stated are far from over
We're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night
We're not the ones who kept minorities and women down 
Still we grow and then the problems they become our own 
We carry on without even realising why
We're innocent 
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders 
We're innocent
But the battles left us are far from over 
We're innocent 
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders 
We're innocent
But the battles left us are far from over 
We're not the ones who's pollution blackened our skies and ruined our streams 
We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs that threatened our lives 
We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night
And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
Still our descendants will inherit our mistakes of today
They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why

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 wanna be who I wanna 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 give a fuck if it's good enough for you
Cause I'm alive
Smash is the way you feel all alone
Like an outcast your out on your own
Smash is the way you deal with your life
Like an outcast your 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
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 give a fuck if it's good enough for you
Cause I'm alive
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
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 give a fuck if it's good enough for you
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 give a fuck if it's good enough for you
Cause I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

Jennifer Lost The War - from 'Self Esteem' single and "The Offspring" album
Smash It Up - from 'Batman Forever' soundtrack

JENNIFER LOST THE WAR
Jennifer lost the war today 
They'll find her burned and raped 
Through it all she must have wondered 
What have I done?
But nobody really cares today 
The worlds a busy place
Guess she must have really sinned 
I guess were all just soldiers 
And she was only six years old
Left to die by strangers
Her family waits
And if were all just soldiers 
Is it so wrong to be afraid
Jennifer Lost the war
Phoebe lost the war today 
There must be some mistake
??? said and done
Little miss 15,65
Her soul remains unclaimed
Guess she must have really sinned, really sinned
Morality wont help her as she lies silent in the morgue
All her sorrows ???
But will the morning headlines 
Even say that it's a shame
What are we heading for
Jennifer lost the war
Seen it all before
Saw it on the ground as he's walking away
And I wonder how many more
Everybody taking like I got nothing to say
But I have
I have
Jennifer lost
Lost lost lost the war
Now I guess were all just soldiers 
And she was only six years old
Left to die by strangers
Her family waits
And will the morning headlines 
Even say that it's a shame
What are we heading for?
