The Meaning of Life

Singer:The Offspring

Album:Ixnay On The Hombre

On the way

Trying to get where I'd like to stay

I'm always feeling steered away

By someone trying to tell me

What to say and do

I don't want it

I gotta go find my own way

I gotta go make my own mistakes

Sorry man for feeling

Feeling the way I do

Oh yeah

oh yeah

Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life

Oh yeah

oh yeah

But not for me

I'll do it on my own

Oh yeah

oh yeah

Open wide and swallow their meaning of life

I can't make it work your way

Thanks but no thanks

By the way

I know your path has been tried and so

It may seem like the way to go

Me

I'd rather be found

Trying something new

And the bottom line

In all of this seems to say

There's no right and no wrong way

Sorry if I don't feel like

Living the way you do

Oh yeah

oh yeah

Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life

Oh yeah

oh yeah

But not for me

I'll do it on my own

Oh yeah

oh yeah

Open wide and swallow their meaning of life

I can't make it work your way

Thanks but no thanks

Oh yeah

oh yeah

Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life

Oh yeah

oh yeah

But not for me

I'll do it on my own

Oh yeah

oh yeah

Open wide and swallow their meaning of life

I can't make it work your way

Thanks but no thanks
