The Offspring Tribute EP

 Come Out And Play

You gotta keep 'em separated

Like the latest fashion like a spreading disease
The kids are strapping on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake out their own campus locale
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 bash it up bash it up 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 the thousands before
No one's getting smarter no one's learning to score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope tie your own rope tie your own

It goes down like the latest fashion like a spreading disease
The kids are strapping on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake out their own campus locale
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 bash it up bash it up bash it up

Self Esteem

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
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've got no self esteem
We make plans to go out at night I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
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 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
 I know I should say no but it'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

The Meaning Of Life

On the way trying to get where I'd like to say
I'm always feeling steered away by someone trying to tell me what to say 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
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
But not for me I'll do it on my own
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I 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
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
But not for me I'll do it on my own
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I can't make it work your way thanks but no thanks

Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)

Give it to me baby give it to me baby give it to me baby
And all the girlies 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, 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 so do that brand new thing.
The world needs wannabes the world loves wannabes
So let's get some more wannabes and do that brand new thing.

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.

Now he's getting a tattoo. he's getting 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.

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 million miles away
I can't stay, I can't stay million miles away

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
I went away but what I really left left behind was me
I need to be getting on my way home
Million miles away million miles away
I can't take, I can't take 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
Each passing day, every passing face seems like such a blur
I long to be home, silently lying next to her

Defy You

You may push me around but you cannot win
You may throw me down but I'll rise again
The more you say the more I defy you so get out of my face
You cannot stop us you cannot bring us down never give up we go on and on
You'll never break us never bring us down we are alive!

The wind blows I'll lean into the wind
My anger grows I'll use it to win
The more you say the more I defy you so get out of my way
All my will all my strength rip it out start again
You cannot stop us you cannot bring us down never give up we go on and on
You'll never break us never bring us down we are alive!

All my will all my strength rip it out start again
Can you leave it all behind can you leave it all behind?
Because you can't go back you can't go back
You cannot stop us you cannot bring us down never give up we go on and on
You'll never break us never bring us down we are alive!
