Offspring, The - Get It Right Lyrics






I've been told that to get what you want
You just gotta give what you can
But I know for what I want it don't come easy as that
They say, "Look out, boy
Tomorrow comes and things will look better by then."
But I'll look out the window
Then look in the mirror at the same old me again

[CHORUS]
Still can't get it right
And for all I know
I swear I never will

Do you think you'd sell your soul
To just have one thing to turn out right?
For the thousandth time you turnand find
That it just makes no difference to try
Like Holden Caulfield, I tell myself
There's got to be a better way
Then I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling
Dream of brighter days

[CHORUS]

No way out
Same old stuff always drags me down
Now way out
Never gonna get it

  16. F.... B....

    quite like this song wonder why everything else they do is utter tripe for teenagers

    F.... B....

    The song cointains a lot of reference from "Catcher in the Rye" and that book it´s about a teenanger so...

    back when the Offspring were PUNK.

    S.... E....

    back when they were GOOD

    S.... E....

    @Eduardo Ota Every album had some good and bad.

    S.... E....

    GatlingGunter nah man. I have listened to all their albums when i was still in 3rf 4th grade playing crazy taxi and listening to americana! After splinter it just went downhill!

    S.... E....

    Waffen no not at all. Ignition had a nice sound and felt very origin of them. Smash was their mainstream success ticket and improved sound. ixnay on the hombre took a darker turn to discuss more off school topics and americana was top notch, original prankster felt more experimental while still retaining the punk sound from previous albums, then splinter started to use different instruments and electronics, not so much punk anymore and then... then the greatest hits didnt have all of the great ones that never were mainstream like genocide, dirty magic, all i want, puuuuuuuuu... then that was it.. by then i was already in 8th grade and moved on to hard rock and metal... just recently listened to their newest albums and not good man not the same for sure! Their old songs are still amazing but their new content doesn’t match

    S.... E....

    Offspring forever

  22. J.... S....

    THEM 10 STUNT JUMPS TO THIS SONG WAS AMAZE AND IS EVERYONE HERE BC OF FORZA?

    J.... S....

    Yeah but i like punk and hardcore in general

  23. O.... ....

    The Catcher in the Rye!

  24. A.... B....

    wow this lyric really tell about me, fuck, i suck at everything, even my younger brother beat me at every video game, he even smarter than me. I'm lucky i go to college but what to do next is still another mystery for me. Next year is the end of my formal education life, the more it get nearer the more it scares me.

  25. r.... c....

    I LOVED this album! <3

  26. k.... ....

    Damn it , making those 10 ultimate air jumps on the bucket list to this song was amazing

    k.... ....

    karankenZ hahah ;D

  27. A.... M....

    Forza Horizon 3 :D but there was better songs from Offspring to put in the game :( but i put it also with Groove Music ^^

    A.... M....

    Milanista Eric Fh3

  28. H.... M....

    Why does this sound more like Thrash than Punk to me? Hm,I fuckin' don't know…

    H.... M....

    cos u're an heavy metal nerd lol ^^

    H.... M....

    +Milanista Eric Maybe thats why. But I think most hardcore punk sounds like thinned thrash.

    H.... M....

    usually punk has some similar riffs to thrash metal riffs

  29. R.... B....

    Forza Horizon 3

    R.... B....

    Rob Brooks geht gut ab 😸🙋✌👍

    R.... B....

    Me and my skateboard 1993!!!

    R.... B....

    Rob Brooks 'Muricas Baldwin truck! Fuck yea!

    R.... B....

    Rob Brooks same

    R.... B....

    wut really?

  30. E.... D....

    The Lyrical content is taken from T.S.O.L's No Way Out

    E.... D....

    well that's you opinion. TSOL are the ones who gave birth to the Offspring (that's why they called themselves like that)

    E.... D....

    True sounds of liberty/The statute of limitations

    A punk band, preceding the offspring... simply for preceding the offspring they gave birth to them... makes perfect sense.

    E.... D....

    Maybe the offspring were influenced by them but i've heard them name some of their influences in interviews and that band is not among them.

    E.... D....

    That's what the Offspring said, but they clearly were. TSOL would have suited them better, but they went into mainstream. They took their past and turned it into Pop. Imagine an album, with the content of Ignition and the ambition of Dance with me

    E.... D....

    Sure they were inspired by TSOL, their first album pretty much sounds like Dance With Me. But only their debut, they found their own sound from Ignition and forward. The offspring never turned "pop" though, they went mainstream and turned alternative rock and more poppy punk sure. But it`s not like they stopped playing fast music, they still have fast punk tunes here and there.

  31. d.... ....

    Why are you're lyrics so off? lol

  32. D.... ....

    Wow, this song's pretty depressing despite being so upbeat and catchy.

    I love songs that pull this off.

    D.... ....

    Not a depressing song I think. But it talks about feeling low when you think you do it all and it still does not work. It is just that you try to compromise when you should not. To be an artist you have to work more and more and get the shit that brings you down away. Sometimes, I just need this song. It means a lot to me.

    D.... ....

    Not depressing more angry.

  33. P.... ....

    If you want it, you can get it. It's just how bad you want it. As Mick Jagger once said, “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you might find you get what you need.”

  34. B.... C....

    Never, i'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees
    Nothing comes easy in this live myfriend.. the moment you stop fighting back ur dead..

  35. s.... ....

    Oh it's their best album no doubt.

  36. D.... ....

    poppy + stupid ar not the same thing. You can do quality pop and you can do crappy punk. The problem with Offspring's last album is it sucks at both categories, but Splinter was a good record, Conspiracy was great and Americana is their best record whatever the omgitsnothardcore audience says.

  37. D.... ....

    The mainstream punk bands from the 90s like Offspring and Green Day, probably yes. There are a million punk bands still kicking ass though. Just to say 2 from that period, NOFX and Pennywise are still doing great punk records. And for me Offspring's problem is not doing pop-punk, the problem is doing crappy pop-punk. For example, Green Day are doing great in their new style IMO. "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace" simply sucks in whatever style you put it in.

  38. D.... ....

    Don't you see any difference between Dirty Magic and Kristy Are You Doing Ok? (I compare those 2 because they have a similar tempo, I cannot compare "Get It Right" to anything on the last album... I've grown up with the guys, and I liked Conspiracy and Splinter... but the last one is not only pop-rock, it's uninspired and simply bad. Let's see what comes now

  39. m.... ....

    Still cant gereeeeeeee

  40. N.... ....

    @thesniperrage they're not punk no more there all poppy and stupid

  41. N.... ....

    @raphskate Banzai :P

  42. M.... ....

    @NoVAPunkLover NoFx stays true

  43. N.... ....

    all the offspring songs are good. y does everyone say they suck now theyyre great

  44. N.... ....

    offspring used to be good, they were hardcore and skate punk, but now they've fallen as low as Pop Punk crap. all punk bands are doin that nowadays. makes me sad.

  45. J.... B....

    @bluescommander i like all offspring, but this is definately best, its not bad, you just don't like it bro

  46. P.... H....

    @Greendayfan131313 I couldn't disagree with you more. I though Splinter was complete garbage. I think Ignition is great, Smash is mostly great, and everything after quickly degenerated into shit.

  47. P.... H....

    @Lilavati777 yes

  48. s.... ....

    best offspring album by far imo

  49. S.... ....

    @godzooky99 That´s just your opinion. Surely this album was great, but the new ones are great as well for most people.

  50. D.... K....

    I remember when Frank at Nemesis put out the 7 Inch of this on Baghdad. I stopped buying the records after this album....Wasn't that great.

  51. s.... ....

    catcher in the rye

  52. G.... ....

    @102611ful transcended its own genre? are we talking about the same band? they wrote straightforward punk and punk/pop songs with cool riffs and melodies.

  53. G.... ....

    @Greendayfan131313 that's just your opinion i liked americana just everything else afterwards sucks really bad

  54. j.... ....

    this is awesome shit

  55. b.... ....

    @windiebong nah i think americana was better

  56. E.... N....

    This song inspired me to read "Catcher in the Rye" years ago.

  57. M.... ....

    i was inline skater in my teens, I used to get into it with a lot of asshole skate boarders.

    Funny thing was like all of my friends were also skate boarders.

    I guess some people are and were just assholes in general.

    And fruit booting, I haven't heard that term in years, haha. I used to get a laugh out of being called a fruit booter.

  58. C.... U....

    Great ♥ *_*
