Show me how to lie
You're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line
A mob jumps to their feet
Now dance, f***er, dance
Man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
So play it out I'm wide awake
It's a scene about me
There's something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want
Well it's all because of me
Now dance, f***er, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you'll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
Trust, deceived!
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Now dance, f***er, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
So dance, f***er, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Clever alibis
Lord of the flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

I love this song. This is officially my yearly song. Its so inspirational. It really does boost up confidence and I love listening to chorus especially. The part where it says clever alibi Lord of flies my sisters were wondering what it was I was like it mean devil but it refers to the devil within us all and that part made me get the feeling to get ready to beat the crap out of someone. And whoever said these lyrics are wrong is wrong themself. But great song overrall I love the meaning too!

ok so ive read alot of yalls comments on here and i gotta tell you what ive seen is just down right well pathetic. especailly the one tell someone to grow the fuck up i belive it was. so what if the lyrics were wrong and the corrected. so what if someone noticed the error and said something about it. your just as wrong telling them to "grow the fuck up" or calling the a "whiny kid".whats the point even correcting them, do you honestly think there gona bother listening to the words of some complete stranger, someone the will never meet. yes offspring is a great band and it is one of the only rock bands i listen to besides classic rock. hell im a down to the root country boy and always will be but i still like offspring.now im not preachin at anyone im not saying your bad people or a bunch of kids or anything like that at all, im just puting my opinion in about cyber bullying. whats the piont of it it doesnt make you seem tuff to anyone.and why do it on here. and anyone can go far in life lisa. thank you all have a nice day. if you wish to contact me my emial is jakkin92@embarqmail.com.
Quick question | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/2/11
What is this song about? Any ideas? Like I get what its saying, but what is the context. Like what are they really singing about. Great song and great band.
Honestly this band should be a household name, as much as the rolling stones, or (God forbid) nickleback. This is really quality music with quality lyrics. Couldnt ask for more
MY FAVORITE!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/19/10
I think maybe the people who said the lyrics were wrong...were right, then the website edited it, and then you guys saw it, then hated on the others, because now the lyrics are right...but they might not have been when they saw them.
The Lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/4/10
Seriously, everyone,
The lyrics here are the PROPER LYRICS, unless you're used to the radio-edit. If you are, MAN UP AND LISTEN TO THE REAL SONG. Anyway, if you don't believe me, youtube this song (because the f'n Jango doesn't work) and listen to the song while looking at these lyrics. They're the same. Anyway, love the song. And, if you think the lyrics are wrong, tell the site, NOT US. Great song, great lyrics and I hope these guys stay with their sound. Good work guys, from Canada.
Why? | Reviewer: Lisa | 5/25/10
This is why The Offspring are my #1 influences. I love the vocals, their guitars, their bass (especially), their drums... just, everything. Their lyrics are what really get to me, though. They write really meaningful songs that stay with me for a while, and through everything.
By the way, whichever idiot complained about the lyrics, grow up and don't vent your anger out on people you've never even seen. We're here to enjoy the lyrics, not read the rambling of some whiny kid. You sure aren't going to go far.
Wow......... | Reviewer: ante | 12/24/09
If you're reading this please ignore any of the above lyrics as they appear. They are as wrong as you could possibly get.
And I am trying to be mean, I think whoever wrote these lyrics was related to Helen fucking Keller
-------------------------
My Comment: His name really says it all, doesn't it?
I couldn't find anything wrong with these lyrics and if there is, it's so small it doesn't even matter at that point. The thing is, people are going to hear it differently, so there will always be different opinions. But want to know something about complaining? Studies show that, 120% of the time, We don't want to fucking hear it.
We hardly use any of the shit we learned in kindergarden in real life, so use one of the better rules online: If you don't have something positive to say, KEEP IT TO YOUR FUCKING SELF!!!!!

offspring always has those songs that make you feel like u could pick a fight with the next guy u see and kick his ass
lyrics are right. at least with the album version they are. seein all the comments about it i decided to to play the song while i was reading and there as right as ever
SHUT UP BOUT THE DAMN LYRICS | Reviewer: punkrocker | 10/21/09
good now that we understand that, how but we drop the whole lyrics decussion completly, if bothers you that much look at another site. anywho, kick ass song, love it period. one of the first songs i heard by them, and i am now proud to say that i am a hard core fan. this would be an amazing song to beat the shit out of somebody to lol it makes me wana pick i fight with some of the assholes i noe, and yes i realized that thats not very ladylike,but wat can you expect from a chick who loves the offspring :)
It is good. | Reviewer: Nyarlathotep | 7/25/09
The lyrics are pretty spot on, someone else here said they did a cover of this song, my band still does and even though I'm on drums I'm more than fairly sure they are either perfect or nearly so.
This song has a lot of greatest too it, it is the avatar of punk in a lot of ways, the tempo and lyrics as well as the themes behind the words. They can be about a lot of things, politics being only one. For a radio hit is very powerful, but then again that has almost always been true of the Offspring.
Seems dead accurate to me | Reviewer: Just Me | 5/29/09
Unless there are multiple versions of this song floating around, it sounds quite accurate to me. Of course, I have mostly heard it on the radio and as such it has been... cleaned up to be G-rated.
But I'm pretty sure that the people making comments about errors must be citing an altered version of the song. Either that or they put their own lyrics in and like them better.
