The Offspring - Conspiracy of One (2000)

Intro

When I step out to the microphone,
It comes out sounding something like this

Back to top

Come out Swinging

You brace and hold it all inside
It's more than you can stand
No one around even tries
Tries to understand

Don't turn away
Don't turn away
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
But as long as you're swinging
Strong then you'll get by

Your pacing's wearing out a line
Right beside your bed
The scene replays a million times
Stuck inside your head
And though you stand in place
Your mind escapes
Read between the lies
Smile's on your face
You fake like you're ok

Don't turn away
Don't turn away
Come out swinging
Out on your own
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by

Don't turn away
Don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
The pain inside can guide your way

Midnight, no sleep
Inside, you scream to
No one, hears you fall
Daylight, prove me today
One more try

Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by

Don't turn away
Don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
Pain inside
Leads you through so you'll get by

Original Prankster

You can do it!

Until the break of dawn
Life, Life, cannot go by the letter
Time, Time, Prozac can make it better
Noise, Noise, any kind will do
Can you feel it slip away, when it's all on you

Crime, crime, rockin' like Janet Reno
Time Time, 18 and life in Chino
Freud, Freud all along it's true
Well you'll see there comes a day catches up to you

Knock down the walls -

You know it smells like shit, goddamn
Tag team the double header
Son of Sam fire always makes it better
Navigate with style and aplomb
Cause wherever you're at that's the tip you's on

Lies lies says he's down in the Bahamas
Tries tries bangin' little hoochie mamas
No way, none of this is true
Well he'll see there comes a day when the joke's on you yeah

Want You Bad

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 tatooed
I want you bad
Complete me
Mistreat me
I want you to be bad, bad, bad

If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting, so long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting
So come on

Get out of clothestime
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, bad, bad, bad, bad

Dont 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, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
I mean it
I need it
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad

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 teling me
To be on my way home
Ohhhhhhhh
Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh
Million miles away
Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh
I can't stay

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

Cause I went away
But what I really left
Left behind was me

I need to be
Getting on my way home

Ohhhhhhhh
Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh
Million miles away
Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh
Million Miles Away
I can't take
I can't take

I need to be
Getting on my way home

I can't take
I can't take
Million miles away

I can't take
I can't take
Million miles away

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

This time I turn around
and things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
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 important yesterday
Just don't matter anymore
It doesn't make any sense
To feel so different everyday
(Can't stand to feel this way)
When nothing's changed except for me

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

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

I see it

Living in Chaos

Got a sing song, man it goes like this

Somewhere the time was right,
Could have been gone in ten
This world is hard to fight, hitting
You once, hit it again
To know the way it feels, everyone
Gets knocked down
When you get up it's real, by taking
It back, turn it around

Get on it, up on it, get on it -
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, out on it, get on it -
No one's gonna free you
You know, when you're keeping it slow
No matter where you wanna go -
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It's on - we're living in chaos

Somewhere along the line
Things get chipped away
This place keeps going down
Gets a little worse every day
I see hate and greed
This world's a messed up town
Embrace the pain and see
By taking it back, you turn it around

Get on it, up on it, get on it
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, out on it, get on it
No one's gonna free you
You know when you're keeping it slow
No matter where you wanna go
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It's over.

Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling

Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya

Got a sing song and it goes like this

Somewhere the time was right
Could've been gone in ten
This world is hard to fight
Hitting you once, hit it again
To know the way it feels
Everyone gets knocked down
When you get up it's real
Taking it back, turn it around

Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling

(Ya ya ya)
Get on it, up on it, get on it
(Ya ya ya)
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Never gonna be you
Get on it, up on it, get on it
(Ya ya ya)

Special Delivery

Hey now do you see me down the way?
Been watching you everyday
In my car on your street is where I stay
I know you better that way
One day I'll be meeting you for real
You'll feel bad like I feel

It'll blow you away - you're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away - you're gonna fall for me

Hey now well I'm knocking on your door
This special delivery is yours
My infatuation it's true
Hello, I got something for you

It'll blow you away - you're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away - you're gonna fall for me
If you hadn't sold me
I'd still be away - you're right in front of me
Then, I'll be on my way
Breathing you okay

Can't break from my sins
Cannot pray

But you can't kill a man when he's got no hope
You can't kill a man when he's got no hope
God, help me

It'll blow you away - you're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away - you're gonna fall for me
If you hadn't sold me
I'd still be away - you're right in front of me
Then, I'll be on my way

One Fine Day

If I had a perfect day
I would have it start this way
Open up the fridge and have a tall boy yeah
Then I'd meet up with my friends
Head out to the game again
We don't even really care who wins

Now excitement seems to grow
When we're hangin' with the bro's
When we're chillin' and we pound
A case of stroh's
Now the game is cool to see
You can high 5 on TV
Count the riot on the one, two, three
Operation is in sight
And the field is open wide
When you break it then you know you're still alive
If the cops don't make you pay and make your getaway
Then you know that's One Fine Day

On that day before we're through
We could torch a car or two
Then have ourselves another tall boy yeah
Water hoses and batons
That's the real game that's on
I don't really give a shit who wins

I believe it's my God-given right
To destroy everything in my sight
Cause it never gets dull, it never gets old
The only it gets is more bold
Drinkin', Fightin', Goin' to the game
In our world it's a way to stay sane
If you're asking me to have it my way
I'd say that's One Fine Day

Then you know that it's One Fine Day
Hey Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

All Along

Deep inside I seek whats burning
Should have known all the while what's true
I went along, to fool myself
Can't go on, I can't escape it

All along
I Think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I stand here betrayed and broken

Close my eyes from the burning
All along, all the while it's true
Take it on, or turn your back
Either way, you can't escape it

All along
I Think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I stand here betrayed and broken

ohhh ohhh oh oh oh

All along
I Think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I stand here betrayed and broken

All along, I still believe in you

Denial, Revisited

So here we go
Having the same old fight again
There she goes
Same old game that never ends
If I could say the right words
I know I could make you stay

If I could say all the right words
Things would work out all right

And if you go
I won't believe
That it's forever
And you can go
But 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
Go 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

I'd wait here for you
But there's nothing more now I can do

How did you know?
Finally

Back to top

Vultures

Now I could lie, by your side
All serrated for you
Down below, cancer grows
Weeping waits inside you too

All our rage, begs a stage
It's a waste of time though
And your style, seems worthwhile
But this lonely road has turned

And you faded there
They pretend to care
Vultures wating
If you don't like me certify me

Yeah, I don't know yeah
Yeah, I won't go yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?

And in the sun a loaded gun
Makes for conversation
All the while in denial
It's too late for me to change

And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me

Yeah, I don't know yeah
Yeah, I won't go yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?

Yeah, I won't play yeah
Yeah, go away yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?

And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me

Yeah, I don't know yeah
Yeah, I won't go yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?

Yeah, I won't play yeah
Yeah, go away yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?

Conspiracy of One

Red over white
It's one last fatal scene
Brought on by
Someone unseen
Moving on their own
Bring on the night
And bring us all to our knees
All are gone and none agreed
The one who acts alone

Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins when it's done
Conspiracy of one

Bring on the night
And bring us all to our knees
All are gone and none agreed
The one who acts alone
Red over white
It's one last fatal scene
Brought on by
Someone unseen
Moving on their own


Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins when it's done
Conspiracy of one

Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins when it's done
Conspiracy of one

Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins when it's done
Conspiracy of one
