This is just a nice little time-waster put together to make you
notice what you just might be missing. Well, I also like the
lyrics and the audio. So, here you get a sample of the lyrics.
And for the latter case.. support your local CD store!
O F F S P R I N G
I wrote her off for the tenth time today And practised 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 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 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 That happens more than I'd like
to admit Late at night she knocks on my door 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.
Self esteem / Offspring
Like the latest fashion Like a spreading disease The kids are
strappin' on their way to the classroom Getting weapons with the
greatest of ease The gangs stake 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 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 thousand before No one's getting
smarter No one's learning the score Your never ending spree of
death and violence and hate is gonna tie your own rope Come out
and play [keep 'm separated] 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
Smash / Offspring
We're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night
We're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down Still we
grow and then the problems become our own We carry on without
even realizing 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 not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies
And ruined our streams We're not the ones who made the nuclear
bombs That threaten 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
Not the one / Offspring
Look at the crowd and tell me whether All are surrounded But none
are together If you're awake, look all around At all of the
people Still you're so alone So alone If I could, I'd 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 / Offspring
G R E E N D A Y
So why are you alone wasting your time? When you could be with me
wasting your time Well, I'm a waste like you with nothing else to
do May I waste your time too
Sassafras Roots / Green Day
I sit around and watch the tube but nothing's on I change the
channels for an hour or two Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit I'm
sick of all the same old shit In the house with the locked doors
and I'm fucking lazy
Bite my lip and close my eyes Take me away to paradise I'm so
damn bored I'm going blind.. Longview / Green Day Something's on
my mind It's been for quite some time This time I'm on to you So
where's the other face The face I heard before Your head trips'
boring me Let's nuke the bridge we torched 2000 times before This
time we'll blast it all to hell I've had this burning in my guts
now for so long..
Emenius Sleepus / Green Day
Do you have the time to listen to me whine About nothing and
everything all at once I am one of those melodramatic fools
neurotic to the bone no doubt about it Sometimes I give myself
the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps
adding up I think I'm cracking up I'm I just paranoid? I'm I just
stoned?
I went to a shrink She whined about my drinks She said it's lack
of sex that's bringing me down I went to a whore He said my
life's a bore..
Basket Case / Green Day
When I was younger I thought the world circled around me. But in
time I realized I was wrong. My immortal thoughts turned into
just dreams of a dead future...
Why does my life have to be so small? Yet death is forever. And
does forever have a life to call its own?
One of my lies / Green Day
B A D R E L I G I O N
I can't believe it, the way you look sometimes, like a trampled
flag on a city street, oh yeah, and I don't want it, the things
you're offering me symbolized bar code, quick i.d., oh yeah I'm a
21st century digital boy I don't know how to live but I've got a
lot of toys my daddy is a lazy middle class intellectual, my
mommy's on valium, she's so ineffectual, ain't life a mystery?
21st Century (Digital Boy) / Bad Religion
Misery and famine
Unacceptable
Two babies in the dark Mona.. Lisa.. here comes Oblivion..
American Jesus
..christmas.. in my atomic garden..
One part per.. A sullen figure walk along a dusty road
His life was holy and he couldn't bear the load..
It's bad it's BAD RELIGION

Now some other things to be remembered:
..music suits even the savage beast
..bored beyond belief
..free your mind and your body will follow
..get crazee
The darkest of all blonde shadows
or kinda rat colored
or non-visual
well, it's flexible
