The Offspring Follow

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 in the line a mob jumps to their feet

Now dance, fucker, 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 â€~em right between the eyes, hit â€~em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see â€~em running for their lives

Slowly outta 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, fucker, 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 â€~em right between the eyes, hit â€~em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see â€~em running for their lives

Now dance, fucker, dance, he never had a chance
And no one even knew, it was really only you
So dance, fucker, dance, I never had a chance
It was really only you

With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit â€~em right between the eyes, hit â€~em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see â€~em running for their lives

Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies
Hit â€~em right between the eyes, hit â€~em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see â€~em running for their lives

And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd

a friend told me about it. It's a sort of tribute to Pink Floyd's'Have a Cigar', following the same basic tale of musician'srelationships with the record companies. If you haven't heard theFloyd song, check it out (Come in here dear boy, have a cigar,you're gonna go far) In a nutshell, it's about the greed of thecompanies as they tell the artist everything they want to hear,lying through their teeth to make sure that artist never knowswhat the 'high life' is truly like, the brutal mentality whichgoes with the fame and the fans. Basically, keep em happy andthrow em a bone once in a while. Keep em dancing.

WOW. It's about politics, guys. Simple and corrupt politics. Imean, who else could a song like this be about? I listen to thissong constantly because, as a political science major, it remindsme exactly of what I refuse to be. The day in which we all have tolie for personal gain and kill to get what we want is the day Ilose all faith in the human race. It's borderline right now.
