Offspring
Well i'd like to tell you all about my dream, it's a place
Where strip malls abound and diversion's mere moments away
Where culture's
defined by the
Ones least refined
And you'll be left behind
If you don't fit in
It's all distorted
In americana my way Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true
Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, that's
right away
I want it right now cause my generation don't like to want
My future's determined by
Thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way
Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true I'm a product
Of my environment
So don't blame me, i just work here
My rights are denied by
Those least qualified
Trading profit for pride
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way
My nightmare has come true
My nightmare has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true
Hey man you know I'm really okay
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 makes me insane
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
I guess I got a bad habit
And it ain't goin' away Yeah
Well they say the road's a dangerous place
If you flip me off I'm the danger you'll face
You drive on my ass
You're foot's on the gas
And your next breath is your last
Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease
Something's odd
I feel like I'm God
You stupid dumbshit goddam motherfucker
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name And if I could trade
I would And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold Now that you've gone away
Falling, I'm falling Have you ever walked through a room
But it was more like the room passed around you
Like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through
Have you ever been at someplace
Recognizing everybody's face
Until you realized that there was no one there you knew
Well I know Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, I'm so outshined and out of time
Have you ever Falling, I'm falling
Have you ever buried your face in your hands
Cause no one around you understands
Or has the slightest idea what it is that makes you be
Have you ever felt
like there was more
Like someone else was keeping score
And what could make you whole was simply out of reach
Well I know Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever Falling, I'm falling Some days,
my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, my darkest friend is me again
Have you ever
Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to make the world be a better place
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
I'd like to leave the world as a better place
I'd like to think the world.

When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat Now the neighborhood's
cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams Jamie had a chance,
well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot
of pot Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us
Ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side
I can't lie Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now can't you see I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad Complete me
Mistreat me
Want you to be bad If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting
So long
For someone almost like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting So come on
Get out of clothes time
Grow out those highlights
Come around now can't you see I want you
In a vinyl suit
I want you bad Complicated
X-rated
I want you bad Don't get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad Complicated
X- rated
I want you bad I mean it
I need it
I want you bad
