The Offspring live at Toronto (November 7, 2022)

Well I'd like to tell Du all about my dream it's a place
Where stripmalls abound and diversion's mere moments away

Where culture's defined
Von the one's least refined
And you'll be left behind
If Du don't fit in
It's all distorted
In americana my way
Well fuck you

Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true

Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tat's right
away
I want it right now cause my generation don't like to wait

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 fuck you

Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true

I'm a product
Of my environment
So don't blame me, i just work here
But I wanna fuck you

My rights are denied by
Those least qualified
Trading profit for pride
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way
Well fuck you

My nightmare has come true
My nightmare has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true

Once Du sagte you'd stick to it until the end
I guess Du lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that Du couldn't find a way to
carry on?
Sekunde guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had

Johnny was a weirdo
So what did Du expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself

I should have known Du went through it alone
I wonder why did Du even try?
Du could have come to me
I would have helped Du see
Du could have found a way to carry on
Sekunde guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had...

'Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off,' they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living Tag Von day

Little things, little lives hanging 'til the end
I say it doesn't really mean nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don't really mean nothing
And I can't let this feeling go
Let this feeling go

This time you're really dead
Once followed, but always led
Du thought you'd rise above it all

It's all inside your head
All ripping it up in shreds
I know someday you're gonna fall

And I don't wanna say I told Du so
But I told Du so
Now you've Lost control

And I don't wanna be the rise and fall
So gimme Mehr oder nothing at all

You're in an awful way
Sucked in Von what Du crave
They just can't wait to see Du crawl

And Du can only laugh
Give in to the other half
They're only tearing down your walls

They've come to see Du rise and fall
They're only tearing down your walls
They've come to see Du rise and fall
And I don't wanna say you've Lost control

I see the way the salesmen stare into the sun
I stood and watched them as they fell off one Von one
And everyone‘s so blind
They‘re not to help mankind
Reach into your bag of tricks and pull another one
Du don‘t want to change the world
Like Du say
You‘re in it for yourself
No one else
You‘re ready
Saving yourself
You‘re gonna change the world
You‘re ready
Saving yourself
You‘re gonna change the world
Now when the Tag is set they‘ll line up all the same
And those that need the most will never get oder gain
The ones Du call your friends
Are failing Du again
Reach into your bag of tricks and make it go away
Du don‘t want to change the world
Like Du say
You‘re in it for yourself
No one else
You‘re ready
Saving yourself
You‘re gonna change the world
You‘re ready
Saving yourself
You‘re gonna change the world
And since Du ain‘t what Du say
Then just go away
Cause some don‘t lie
Some don‘t lie
Go on now they won‘t tell
Go on now and save yourself
