lyrics The Offspring

Time has washed away
And now I may wonder
How did it all slip by
Cause I always thought
We had forever
Future calls to me
To take me away from things
I don't want to leave behind
Like I'm slipping away
I can't hold on

Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But thats not what worries me
I just want to know whats home

Crossroads

Time has washed away
And now I may wonder
How did it all slip by
Cause I always thought
We had forever
Future calls to me
To take me away from things
I don't want to leave behind
Like I'm slipping away
I can't hold on

Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But thats not what worries me
I just want to know whats home

Through it all
My mind still wanders
To the one who touched my soul
Though her road leads away
She's still my
True love
I could believe

Will is not enough when all those
Lost days stand in the way
But she was
My hopes and dreams my
Whole world
I could believe

I still want to know
Who can see for me, yeah, yes
Crossroads tell me

Now you'll have to trade
Your past away
And find another day
So is change a friend or an enemy

Through what comes to pass
I'll find my way
I've seen it all before
But is the best you can be
The best thing to be
Some people say
You're just wasting time
But thats not what worries me
I just want to know whats home


Da Hui

I won't fuck with Da Hui
I won't fuck with Da Hui
I won't fuck with Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with me

I won't take off on Da Hui
I won't take off on Da Hui
I won't take off on Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with me

Chorus
Haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
I'm not a part of the North Shore society
Stuck on the shoulder, that's where you'll find me
Digging for scraps with the kooks in line!

I won't park next to Da Hui
I won't park next to Da Hui
I won't park next to Da Hui
Because I don't really feel comfortable

Chorus
Haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
I'm not a part of the North Shore royalty
Stuck on the shoulder, I'm not complaining
Digging for scraps, I'm a kook in line!

Chorus
Haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
Cause I'm not a part of the North Shore society
Stuck on the shoulder, that's where you'll find me
Digging for scraps with the kooks in line!

Don't fuck with Da Hui
Don't fuck with Da Hui
Don't fuck with Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with you!


Dammit, I Changed Again

Hey come inside
While I stand here acting bold
(Can't stand to feel this way)
Clear out the cobwebs in my soul
Oh oh oh oh

This time I turn around
Things have changed
Now I don't feel the same
Start a fight
I can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again

Now I don't see
Things The way I did before
(Can't stand to feel this way)
Things i feel yesterday
Don't matter anymore
Oh oh oh oh
It doesn't make any sense
to feel so different day to day
(Can't stand to feel this way)
When nothing's changed except for me
oh oh oh oh

Next time I turn around
Things have changed
Now I don't feel the same
Start a fight
I can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
turn around
Things have changed
Now I don't feel the same
Start a fight
I can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again

turn around
Things have changed
Now I don't feel the same
Start a fight
I can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
turn around
Things have changed
Now I don't feel the same
Start a fight
I can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
Oh oh oh Oh oh
Oh Oh oH
I see it

Defy You

You may push me around,
But you cannot win.
You may throw me down,
But I'll rise again.


Demons


Clouds pass over the moon
Like an eye that shows impending doom
Tension in this misty air
Souls pass into the room
Drawn in by a lost memory
You will join them in the moonlight

You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in death

Time passes like the wind
As we race to beat days dusky grin
Mornings just a moment away
Your body glistens in candlelight
As we all look on in fiendish delight
The ritual is just beginning

Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
As virgins and spectres sing
This madness will never cease

In the dead of night
You will follow
In the footsteps of many others
Who have come before
I will show you the altar
Your aztec eyes, egyptian hair
Your beauty bestoved upon my lair
I've loved you before, in other lives
But youUve never meant as much to me
Never meant as much to me as now

In this night of sacrifice
where blood is spilt
That will never spill again
But in your linen robes
We want you now
We want you now
You could never ask for more than that

You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in
Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
The more you say,
The more I defy you.
So get out of my face,
Whoa, yeah.

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,
Who-oa yeah.

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.

All my will.
All my strength.
Rip it out.
Start again.

(Can you leave it all behind?) All my will.
All my strength. (Can you leave it all behind?)
Rip it out. ('Cause you can't go back.)
(You can't go back.) Start again.

(Can you leave it all behind?) All my will.
(Can you leave it all behind?) All my strength.
('Cause you can't go back. You can't go back.) Rip it out.
(You can't go back. You can't go back.) 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!
We are ali-i-ive!
Woah, no-oh...


Demons (a mexican fiesta)

Clouds pass over the moon
Like an eye that shows impending doom
Tension in this misty air
Souls pass into the room
Drawn in by a lost memory
You will join them in the moonlight

You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in death

Time passes like the wind
As we race to beat day's dusky grin
Morning's just a moment away
Your body glistens in candlelight
As we all look on in fiendish delight
The ritual is just beginning

Come fulfill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
As virgins and spectres sing
This madness will never cease

In the dead of night
You will follow
In the footsteps of many others
Who have come before
I will show you the altar
Your aztec eyes, egyptian hair
Your beauty bestowed upon my lair
I've loved you before, in other lives
But youve never meant as much to me
Never meant as much to me as now!

In this night of sacrafice
where blood is spilt
That will never spill again
But in your linen robes

We want you now
You could never ask for more than that

You are my offering

The centuries of pain
Your misery in life

Come fulfill the prophecy

This madness will never cease


Denial, Revisited

So here we go
Having the same old fight again
So 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

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 it out don't make it right
I know she's tried, my whole world
is her and all we've got now

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'd just stay

And when we wrote this story
How did it end?
It was you and me for all our lives
Come on don't 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
And I'm waiting for you
But there's nothing more now i can do

How did you know
How did you know
How did you know
Finally

Dirty Magic

In my own simple way
I think she wants me only
She said Come over right away
But she's just not that way
Her little soul is stolen
See her put on her brand new face

CHORUS

Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're 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 just seems like such a waste

CHORUS

It's Oversimplified (X3)

Don't Pick It Up

I saw a little kid
As he walked around
He picked a candy bar up
Off the ground
He chowed about a half
Then his face turned blue
Turned out that candy bar was doggy-doo
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way


You're out there makin' bacon
No scrutiny
You mess around too much
And you got VD
You know you never think
And you're sore today
You're gonna take it back to California
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way


My friend was kinda hurtin'
For a girl to try
He saw one that looked like Pat
On Saturday Night Live
It had a pair of thingies
But a mustache too
Not clearly male nor female
So now what to do
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way


"D.U.I.

Three in the morning and I gotta be someplace
I don't remember where
Friends try to make me stay or call me a cab home
I grab my keys and a beer

The cops they took my license away
But I got my car out of impound today
And I've been drunk since last Saturday
You'd better stay outta my way

I drink and drive
Feel so alive
I'll never take that dive
Feel so alive
I'm doin' ninety-five
I drink and drive
I feel so alive
I drink and drive

Early morning and the freeway's deserted
Like it's all mine
I'm trying to set a new driving speed record
But I can't drive a straight line
Flashing lights
Split the night
I'm tossing bottles as I swerve to the right
Now I've slammed my face into the back of a big-rig
At least you'll never catch me you fucking pigs

Designate someone other than me
I'm so drunk I can hardly see
Another shot of jagger and I turn the key
I got so many places to be

When I'm on a binge, my friends all cringe
They won't drive at night
Cause we're down at the freeway it's such a fright
But I think I drive alright


Elders

When we younger
There always seemed like some
Some perfect mold
That we're supposed to be
But now we're growing up and
I see it's just not that way
Now I feel like someones lied to me
Cause I've been true
Made good for you
And now I feel used
I'm asking you
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you
Tell me now elders

What wre your reasons for
Making it seem
Like you were so much more
If you want to feel good

Because of our accomplishments
Why the fuck
Don't you just do it yourself

Cause I've tried
Man I've tried
While you all lied
So now just tell me
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you

Look at all the families now
Who don't talk and don't trust
Because of the way
That things have been done
When will you finally learn
To leave out the bullshit
And just be straight with us

Feelings

Feelings...
Nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my...
Feelings of hate

Imagine...
Beating on your face
Trying to forget my...
Feelings of hate

Feelings
For all my life I’ll feel it
I wish I'd never met you
You'll make me sick again

Chorus
Feelings, whoah! Feelings
whoah! Feelings
Hate on my mind

Feelings!
Feelings like I never liked you
Feelings like I wanna kill you
Live in my heart

Feelings!
Feelings like I wanna deck you
Feelings like I've gotta get you
Out of my life

Feelings, whoah! Feelings
Whoah! Feelings
Hate's in my eyes

Feelings, whoah! Feelings
Whoah! Feelings
You're not very nice

...Go!...

Feelings, whoah! Feelings
Whoah! Feelings
Hate’s on my mind

Feelings, whoah! Feelings
Whoah! Feelings
Get out of my life

Feelings, whoah! Feelings
Whoah! Feelings (slower)
Get out of my life...
