Offspring, The - Take It Like A Man Lyrics






When you won't go along
Some will feel like you can't find your way
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've seen it all before
Now don't get me wrong
I've seen many a life gone astray
When someone goes
All your bows won't make it any better so let it go

[CHORUS]
Shut up and take it like a man
You need us to get a life
For your own good we'll take you by the hand
'Cause you need a little more

Maybe no one will say it
Maybe no one's aware it goes on
All I know
All I know it's like going off the deep end
Could you make a decision?
Could you think for yourself and go on?
Everyone knows
Everyone knows you've got to fit into the mainstream so save your woes

[CHORUS]

Close your eyes
Look away now
Make believe while you can
So you'd best go along
Don't let on if you can't find your way
Many more
Many more do it for you
Because heaven knows
Heaven knows it's like playing with fire
Your life's a throw

    Before Offspring went pop and softcock, the early stuff was there Punk era after that it's just pop crap.

  9. W.... ....

    This song reminds me of Soundgarden for some reason. I love the Eastern riff. Wish they would have stayed like this for more than 3 albums.

    W.... ....

    @Wolfdragon92584 i was just thinking that, there was another (lesser known) 90s band called Pond who were very good, their first album has some serious Eastern riffs going on, I'd recommend it

  10. k.... ....

    LIKE a man! you idiot

  11. k.... ....

    One dude is not taking it as a man

  12. I.... ....

    Yeah but if any group deserves some fame n fortune - its Dexter n Co

  13. D.... E....

    They play this song in France last year !!!

  14. B.... M....

    Fuck off offspring didnt fucking sell out you dumb fuck. Just like what Cody Anthony said they evolved so dont say shit until you know what your talking about you dumb fuck

  15. Y.... ....

    Probably still back in the 90's.

  16. S.... ....

    Man... this song... still is my absolute favourite The Offspring song. After all these years it still gets under my skin. Where have the times gone...

  17. c.... j....

    great song.

  18. C.... A....

    @sojirokaidoh2
    Meh, you look at Smash, Ixnay, Americana, and Conspiracy, they all slowly progressed. It wasn't them selling out. It was the band evolving, you can only do the same thing for so long.

  19. s.... t....

    where did the fucking 90's music dissapeared???

  20. m.... ....

    WANT THIS SONG LIVE!!!! Thumbs up!!

  21. O.... ....

    @OnlyOneTyping do

  22. O.... ....

    @sojirokaidoh2 oh right.... and so the song says "everyone knows you've got to fit into the mainstream so save your woes" I recommend that's what you.

  23. E.... ....

    @menacinggesture like AFI

  24. m.... ....

    I wouldn't say the offspring "sold out" and went soft. They still make decent stuff. Its hard catching lightning in a bottle once. You want a home run every time they're up to bat. As we all evolve as people, they've also evolved as people, and a band. How many times can you write the same songs? Ya know? You have to see it their way, too.

  25. R.... A....

    BEST ALB. EVER

  26. t.... ....

    this song is amazing. :D

  27. s.... ....

    Damn you, money. You robbed us all of a great band.

  28. b.... ....

    The lyrics are so "cheap" but so true at the same time.

  29. F.... ....

    fuckin awesome!!

  30. J.... M....
