Getting edgy all the time
There's someone around me just a step behind
It's kinda scary, the shape I'm in
The walls are shakin' and they're closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show
One bad habit that I can't shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake

Sitting on the bed
and I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm gonna roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me

Tell you something, just ain't right
My head is on loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends cause they all bug
Life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped
There's a reason, don't you know?
Your own preoccupation is where you'll go
I'm being followed, I look around
It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground

Sitting on the bed
and I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm gonna roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me

whoa...whoa...
whoa...whoa...

Sitting on the bed
and I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
think I'm gonna roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me

    The Offspring are one of the worst bands on the planet along with Nickelback & Limp Bizkit. Fact!

    I agree to a point. Everything they have made since Ixnay is equivalent to those bands but the stuff before it wasnt that bad, it just grew really stale, thats all.

    That album had some fun tunes on it, Gotta Get Away was a good one. I was also a big fan of Bad Habit:

    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've screamed those lines along in a few festival mosh pits in my time! Oh and in my car when some douche cuts me up!

    I liked Smash but that's about it. They went from being a band I can tolerate to being a hated band when they release "Pretty Fly For A White Guy" & "Why Don't You Get A Job" -which was a mockery they did with a good Beatles song).

    the album after smash .. yeah, wasn't all that great. smash was pretty good. just this chorus on this track:

    sitting on the bed and i'm lying wide awake.
    there's demons in my head and it's more than i can take.
    i think i'm gonna roll but I think it's kinda weak.
    saying all i know is i gotta get away from me.

    it's very catchy. has been stuck in my head the past few day's. along with filter's 'the best thing's & paul westerberg's 'waiting for somebody.'

    these guys had some pretty decent hits

    i actually popped in Americana in my car on the weekend...definitely not as good as i thought it was in 98 haha

    Ah yes, Americana was the "sell-out" album. BTW, they were more of a "grunge" band than punk weren't they?

    Anyways, I'll add that in my opinion, their best song was Gone Away.

    I don't know what album this from, it wasn't on Smash :confused:
    It also doesn't sound like a song they'd put in Americana or any album that featured "Original Prankster" or that song 'I Know You Wanna Hit That, Hit That' :p

    Ignition ain't a bad album.

    The way it begins...classic!
    was it?....

    They began to suck on Americana; Ixnay is a nice album, I love Ignition and some of Smash and the self-titled.
    I believe the children are our future... unless we stop them now...
