Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to The Offspring or about the 1990s in general.
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 a feeling it’ll be a long time
When will the truth come in to season
I’ve 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 you on through
Then turn it all around with a suicide move
But you know it’s not fooling anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you want to see
