Тексты песен с альбома The Offspring 1. Jannifer 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 we're all just soldiers But she was only six years old Left to die by strangers Her family waits And if we're all just soldiers Is it wrong to be afraid Phoebe lost the war today There must be some mistake Say it happens all the time And it's said and done And little miss 1565 Your soul remains unclaimed Guess you must have really sinned Morality won't help her When she lies silent in a morgue And all our sorrows Just don't count at all But will the morning headlines Even say it's a shame What are we heading for Seen it all before Silent on the ground As he's walking away And I wonder how many more Everybody takes it Like it's nothing at all Jennifer lost the war
2. 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 someoneЪs 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 were 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
3. Out On Patrol. Look at you soilder boy now With that big gun in your little hand As you patrol this foreign land Hear the mine that clicks beneath your feet Now do you see the light Fading while your world is crumbling Out on patrol And all you can do is sit and stare What revelation have you now What culmination to your speck of life Your moment in time As you sit here all alone Will your buddies come and save your life But as the enemy appears See your life flash before your eyes
4. 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 thatЪs not what worries me I just want to know whatЪs 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 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 thatЪs not what worries me I just want to know whatЪs home
5. 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 youve 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 This madness will never cease
6. Beheaded. Mommy doesn't have her head anymore Keep it underneath my bed on the floor Thats alright though Thats ok She never really used her head anyway Daddy called me a silly bore Bet he wont say that anymore Because the way his bodyЪs severed in two His vocal chords are gonna be hard to use CHORUS Beheaded Watch you spurt like a garden hose Beheaded Bloody mess all over my clothes Watch my girlfriend come to the door Chop off her head, she falls to the floor Watching my baby's jugular flow Really makes my motor go Wrap a towel around the bloody stump Take my babyЪs body to the city dump Then wipe the mess off the bloody axe Scoop all the heads in my burlap sack CHORUS All my collection Adorns my rooms on bamboo poles Used to be a little But a little got more and more Now I'm craving yours Night brings bad dreams Bad dreams and guillotines Off with her head Find another victim for my machine Put him in a homemade guillotine Blade falls, gonna need a casket Watch the head plop in a wicker basket Leave the house at a quarter to four Come back with sixteen or more Cause the more I want, the more I see Got a funny feeling coming over me CHORUS
7. Tehran. In your plane in the blue sky You roam again Words that echo in your mind Make your heart beat faster This is no Vietnam We will win in Iran The president said let it ride Islam be damned Make your last stand In Tehran Warrior, the time bombs About to go What will you feel Will you ever wonder If the man thats in your sights Ever kissed his girl goodbye The captain said kill or die Islam be damned Make your last stand In Tehran Great Satan Our flags of burning Soon America may find Its young man in the sand Where there casualty Is just a number In Iran The president said let it ride You will be damned Make your last stand In Tehran.
8. A Thousand Days. Ask me no questions and I'll tell you I'll tell you no lies When all is said and done Does it really matter who's wrong or right Don't ask me for a reason, I cant explain Why hurt one other again and again As I lie bleeding here I still Still reach for you CHORUS A thousand days Have passed away A thousand days Were captured in her eyes Your eyes are open now but you know It's still hard to see inside When action and intention Are two separated things Now I somehow wish I could explain Why we hurt one another again and again Like someone on his dying breath I still reach for you CHORUS Forever we've been Trapped by our hearts Trapped by our minds I'd like to leave I'd like to win at love But I just can't let it go And I just can't watch it slipping away And I just can't let it go And I just can't stand another minute Maybe now someday our shattered live Will mend themselves again But now a million miles away I wish I still could And though I somehow know, I can't explain Why we hurt one other again and again Like someone on his dying breath I still reach for you
9. Black Ball. In this world of hate and shallowness Where enemies become your consolation And those of us who win the game give up their minds I don't call that winning Say this doesn't apply to you But ask yourself first What have I won today to win the game And just what have I scarified Win the battle or lose the war I know I've played this game before When people were still real I don't want this anymore It's time for me to close the door There's nothing left to feel Reflect on all out yesterdays My own words choke me, why were they spoken Regret for things I've said and done just can't compare with Regret for that I have never tried So blame this world or blame yourself It's really all the same When you are standing on that precipice From which you just cannot return Win the battle or lose the war I know I've played this game before When people were still real I don't want this anymore It's time for me to close the door There's nothing left to feel In the style of forgotten men I look to my horizon - I see nothing While thoughts of guns and desecration sweep through my mind But only coffins and bones remain As I look to you, the emptiness behind your eyes seals my decision Can't carry on in a world of jugglers where all this thoughtlessness And bludgeoning your key to success What kind of tradition to carry on Blackball - The new disease Blackball - The new disease Blackball - Your evil ways have found their way inside me Blackball - The new disease Blackball - The new disease Blackball - For a better life in this high tech dog eat dog existence
10. I`ll Be Waiting. Once I had a friend that I could count on So I thought Well so it seemed But times of need are not enough To prove your friendship to me now Once I saw a face that I believed in But a mask was all there was So who wears the masks and who wears the faces Well I guess I'll never know But as I stand here alone in a room full of people With nothing to say Beer on their minds, and smoke in the air Call them feiends but they just don't care Friend for life Such shallow words for brokrn minds Show me a friend for life Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive When I'll feel alive I'll be waiting for that day Once I found a love I had to know Now we might know each other just too well Cause when we're together we just can't get enough Or is it we just can't get what we want Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it Dreams quickly turn to reality Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine Well I guess I'll never know But as I sit here alone Think of the girl who came softly inside me The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair Call her my own but is she really there? Love for life Such noble words for noble minds Show me a love for life Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive When I'll feel alive I'll be waiting for that day Once I had a friend that I could count on Times of need are not enough Once I found a love I had to know Now we might know each other just too well Once I saw a dream I had to chase it Dreams quickly turn to reality Now let me close my eyes Because I don't want to see anymore
11. Kill The President. In a world without leaders Who'd start all the wars? The world that you're saving Will always be yours Kill the president, listen to the voice of reason Unify with that single line Stop the man with the power of the government A leader's not the centre of democracy CHORUS In a world without leaders Who'd start all the wars? The world that you're saving Will always be yours Everyone says 'Well maybe I'll make a difference' Thinking they've got plenty of time But you're squeezed a little tighter every day Punished before you can commit a crime CHORUS Kill the president, listen to the voice of reason Unify with that single line Stop the man with the power of the government A leader's not the centre of democracy America All your enemies Come from within But you lash out so It is seen Like some frightened child In an angry world Or the fall of Rome Your demise comes From your own hands In a world without leaders Who'd start all the wars? The world that you're saving Will always be yours In a world without leaders We might have a chance But we'll never see it As long as there's Session I don't know when it got this way I don't know how long she's gonna stay Every week it's the same in her room That's why I came Here I go, here I go again Our rendezvous never seem to end I know where I'll be, I'll make this confession Back in her bed for another goddamn session CHORUS I'll never learn God knows I try Keep coming back for session And I don't know why I'll never learn, I'll never see Just tell me why these sessions got a hold on me Some might say it's a fling For all I know it don't mean a thing Either way I can't complain Ain't no strings Guess I got it made Here I go, I go again Our renezvous never seem to end I know where I'll be I'll make this confession Back in her bed for another goddamn session CHORUS
