I Choose

Offspring

Look at me I'm falling


Off a cliff now


I can 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 beautiful


All the way down


When I was a little boy


Sucking juice from a bottle


Believeing my perceptions were oh so real


But I didn't know nothing


Still know nothing


Was just enough for me to know the way I feel





This is life


What a fucked up thing we do


What a nighmare 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 out of my hole


But I keep on laughing


Doesn't really matter


There's dozens of reasons for explaining my soul


When I was a teenager


Suckin' 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 nighmare come true


Or a playground if we choose


And I choose





Don't know who made this all come true


But know while you're here


You just gotta do what you gotta do





Now if I wasn't such a weenie


Do you think you'd still love me


Prending I'm an airplane on the living room 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


As I'm looking back above me


Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot


Now 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 nighmare come true


Or a playground if we choose


And I choose
