Offspring, The - Disclaimer Lyrics






ladies and gentlemen
welcome to the disclaimer
that's right the disclaimer

this american apple pie institution
known as parental discretion
will cleanse any sense of innuendo or sarcasm
from the lyrics that might actually make you think
and will also insult your intelligence at the same time

so protect your family
this album contains explicit depictions
of things which are real
these real things are commonly known as life
so if it sounds sarcastic don't take it seriously
if it sounds dangerous
do not try this at home or at all
and if it offends you just don't listen to it

    ook. well I was quoting my favorite part, soo. lol

  12. E.... ....

    I sound like a prick, but I see this misunderstood so often that I really want to point it out. :/

    "This American apple pie institution known as parental discretion" is the subject of the sentence, and while they "will cleanse any sense of innuendo or sarcasm from the lyrics which might actually make you think", it is also they who will "also insult your intelligence at the same time" ... not the lyrics.

    I ain't tryin' to pick on you -- I've just wanted to say this somewhere for ages. :P

  13. s.... ....

    Jello fucking Biafra

  14. J.... ....

  18. A.... B....

    A.... B....

  21. M.... B....

    "There's always room for jello!"

  22. A.... R....

    this is the best disclaimer EVER!

    I FUCKING KNEW It sounded like Jello, I was just listening to My Ixnay CD, and Thinking to myself.. this announcer guy sounds JUST like the singer from Dead Kennedys... And now I know why :p

  25. S.... B....

    Jello Biafra for the win.

  28. R.... d....

    @joshpgnut sure thing dude. look for "jello biafra oprah" on youtube's search and you'll find the whole show.

  29. R.... d....

    @joshpgnut yes, that's Jello. I strongly recommend everyone listening to the disclaimer to watch Oprah's episode where Jello and Ice T gets face to face with Tipher Gore. Youtube has it, go look for it. truly awesome.

  30. J.... ....

    and if it offends you JUST DONT LISTEN TOO IT.

    J.... ....

    This comment is now relevant to today's society

  31. T.... ....

    go jello tells it the way it is dont liten if you dont like it

  32. I.... ....

    @joshpgnut Fuck its gotta be.

  33. L.... ....

    Well, I guess it's a good idea to warn parents and make sure small children don't listen to overly offensive songs, but I still don't like the label itself - it makes the album look dangerous and unhealthy.

  34. f.... ....

    it is jello you dumbasses

  35. R.... J....

    sure, there's an intro on each of the five that I have.

  36. D.... K....

    that's awesome

  37. a.... ....

    Is that Jello Biafro? or just Jello-ish?

  38. L.... ....

    also has anyone noticed they have a lot of "Opening" tracks of someone talking on a lot of their albums?

  39. L.... ....

    I would listen to more songs like this.

  40. L.... ....

    "Parental Advisory" = unlimited thumbs down.

  41. D.... ....

    You are worthy of an epic face palm for being a complete dumbass. Congrats.

  42. D.... ....

    GerosM88:
    A disclaimer is the thing they put at the beginning of any sort of media that states that they are not responsible for whatever it is. In this case, the Offspring are saying that if something offends you, don't listen, dangerous, don't do it, and finally, if it is explicit, protect your children. :)

  43. B.... ....

    It's making fun of parental advisories...

  44. G.... S....

    it makes fun of the people who took the lyrics from Smash seriously.

  45. q.... ....

    Jello Biafra! aka Osama McDonald aka
    J Lo aka Smegma Pigvomit aka Occupant

  46. G.... ....

    i think its just a gag thing, like how smash has the time to relax intro, yeah. i dont think thee is any real message besides... "dont listen to it if:"

  47. p.... ....

    go jello biafra

  48. B.... F....

    i wish the had an intro for the new CD, why'd they stop? didn't they realize how awesome the intro's were?

  49. d.... ....

    this is probably the best intro to any album to date :D

  50. L.... ....

    Jello FTW =D

  51. D.... W....

    'any window' = 'innuendo' :)

  52. m.... ....

    As he explained in an interview with Dutch magazine Oor in 1997:
    Ixnay = Away
    On The
    Hombre = Man
    Away On The Man
    Away With The Man
    Away With The Man Who Represses You
    Fuck Authority

  53. L.... ....

    Do not try this at home or at all.

  54. n.... r....

    it doesnt offend me it's just boring

  55. n.... r....

    stupid intro dont listen to it
