The Offspring Tattoo

All this time has whittled away
Like so many days in one
Back and forth the leaders sway
Backing it up with guns

Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed

That's always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I've got a feeling it'll be a long time
When will the truth come in to season

I've got a feeling it'll be a long time
All they want is what they can defend
Before their time is up
Make the same mistakes again

Heard it all before
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed

While citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes
Well if they tried
Maybe they'd see

It'd do a little good to let the world be free
Handshake and a smile
Gets wewe on through
Then turn it all around with a suicide move

But wewe know it's not fooling anyone but me
wewe gotta make yourself see what wewe want to see

Been reaching for a reason for the pain that's come (Oh, oh, oh)
Been waiting for the season when the healing's done (Oh, oh, oh)

Well, line up in black and white
This blood runs red on both sides
Broken in two,
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as...

See the battle now it's raging in our hearts and minds
Hear the voices how they're shouting out the others' crimes

Well, our past lies dressed in white
We're all just dragged to the fight
Broken in two,
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Line up in black and white
This blood runs red on both sides
Our past now thrown aside (thrown aside)
We're all just dragged to the fight
Broken in two,
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as one

We could be one
We could be one
We're coming undone
We could be one
Hurting as...

In your plane in the blue sky
wewe roam again
Word that echo in your mind
Make wewe moyo beat faster
This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iran

The President alisema let it ride
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran

Warrior, the time bombs
About to go
What will wewe feel
Will wewe even wonder
If the man that'sin your sights
Ever kissed his girl goodbye

The President alisema let it ride
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran

Great Satan
Our flags our burning

Soon America may find
Its young men in the sand
Where there casualty
Is just a number
In Iran

The President alisema let it ride
Islam be damned
Make your last stand

We've been playing now for much too long
And never gonna dance to a different song
I'm gonna scream and shout till my dying breath
I'm gonna smash it up till there's nothing left
Ooh smash it up
Smash it up smash it up
Ooh smash it up
Smash it up smash it up

People call me weird, oh it's such a shame
Maybe it's my clothes, must be to blame
I don't even care if I look a mess
Don't wanna be a sucker like all the rest

Smash it up
And wewe can keep your crystal glasses
Smash it up
And wewe can see a very dead-way end
Smash it up
And wewe can stick a frothy lager
Smash it up
Up the fuck with your lesson

We've been playing now for much too long
And never gonna dance to a different song
I'm gonna scream and shout till my dying breath
I'm gonna smash it up till there's nothing left

And everybody's smashing things down
I alisema everybody's smashing things down
