the offspring - blackball lyrics
[verse 1]
in this world of hate and shallowness
where enemies become your consolation
and those of us who win the game
give up their minds
i don’t call that winning
say this doesn’t apply to you
but ask yourself first
what have i done today to win the game
and just what have i sacrificed
[chorus 1]
win the battle or lose the war
i know i’ve played the game before
when people were still real
i don’t want this anymore
it’s time for me to close the door
there’s nothing left to feel
[verse 2]
reflect on all our yesterdays
my own words choke me
why were they spoken
regret for things i’ve said and done
just can’t compare with
regret for those that i have never tried
so blame this world or blame yourself
it’s really all the same
when you are standing on that precipice
from which you just cannot return
[chorus 1]
win the battle or lose the war
i know i’ve played the game before
when people were still real
i don’t want this anymore
it’s time for me to close the door
there’s nothing left to feel
[verse 3]
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
can’t carry on in a world of jugglers
where all this thoughtlessness
and bludgeonings your key to success
what kind of tradition to carry on
[chorus 2]
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 1]
win the battle or lose the war
i know i’ve played the game before
when people were still real
i don’t want this anymore
it’s time for me to close the door
there’s nothing left to feel
