Blackball — текст песни (Offspring)

In this world of hate and shallowness

Where enemies become your consolation

And those of us who win the game give up our minds

I dont call that winning

Say this doesnt apply to you

But ask yourself first

What have I done today to win the game

And just what have I sacrificed



Win the battle lose the war

I know Ive played this game before

When people were still real

I dont want this anymore

Its time for me to close the door

Theres nothing left to feel



Reflect on all our yesterdays

My own words choke me

Why were they spoken

Regret for the things Ive said and done

Just cant compare with

Regret for those that I have never tried

So blame this world or blame yourself

Its really all the same

When you are standing on the precipice

From which you just cant return



Win the battle lose the war

I know Ive played this game before

When people were still real

I dont want this anymore

Its time for me to close the door

Theres nothing left to feel



In the style of forgotten men

I look to my horizon

I see nothing

While thoughts of guns and desecration

Sweep through my mind

But only coffins and bones remain

As I look to you

The emptiness behind your eyes

Seals my decision

Cant carry on in this world of juggling

Where all this thoughtlessness and bludgeoning

Your key to success

What kind of tradition to carry on



Blackball the new disease

Blackball the new disease

Blackball your evil ways

Have found their way inside me



Blackball the new disease

Blackball the new disease

Blackball for a better life

In this high tech dog eat dog existence



(chorus)
