The Offspring — I Choose lyrics

Lyrics

Look at me I’m fallin', off a cliff now
I still hear my mama yelling no, no, no,
But the words mean nothing
Can’t catch up to me now
And the view is so beautyful
All the way down
When I was a little boy
Suckin' juice from a bottle
Believing my perceptions were oh so real
But I didn’t know nothing
Still knowing nothing
Was just enough for me To know the way I feel
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
Look at me I’m swollen, like a bananafish now
I’m never gonna make it, make it out of my hole
But I keep on laughing
Doesn’t really matter
There is dozens of reasons
For explaining my soul
When I was a teenager
Sucking booze with the vatos
Discussing who was gonna live to be 21
They said they wouldn’t make it They didn’t make it We’re all naked
When the day is said and done
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
Don’t know who made this all come true
But now while you’re here
You just gotta do What you gotta do One, two, three, four!
Now if I wasn’t such a weenie
Do you thing you’d still love me Pretending I’m an airplane
On the livingroom floor
But like a lovely generator
You stand right by me And if words were wisdom
I’d be talking even more
So I keep on falling
And I looking back above me Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot
Know I’m like Deniro
I’m amarillo
And I’ll never know
When I hit the ground
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
