The Offspring Something To Believe In

[dr315t]

die cd hat ihr eigenes karma wie die simpsons

[jdboone21]

Proud to say this was my first CD also.

[jabraho]

The guitar at the very beginning and the drums at the very ending of the song are just fantastic, prodigious, extraordinary, absolutely amazing...

[thefreeflowification]

And if you go away

You'll be doing what they say

And if you've got a life

You'll be seeing that it's right

should say:

And if you look away

You'll be doing what they say

And if you look alive

You'll be singled out and tried.

[itsthemusic11]

@thefreeflowification thank you for posting this so I don't have to lol. I hate it when people add lyrics and they are wrong!

[kalspals1]

great choice first CD mine was Aqualung!!

[chaster321]

This album rocks, i was always an offpsring fan, because of my dad, and he picked this up at an old record store for 3$. Im gonna get him their first two albums for christmas

[vivid007]

it's just so true

[chrissidiras]

Sometimes this song makes me wanna cry

[jgerrard565671]

The first cd i ever ripped to my computer haha

[SuperShaunboi]

Shit I had this cd in 6th grade when it first released and all my friends in Germany loved it. I am pretty sure I was the first to have it in that city but it spread very fast to Europe.

[judenkoks]

@SuperShaunboi

ju arr ßo kuul my frennt.

[Roadiepat]

the lyrics are wrong

[melehosen]

The offspring will never die

[wootfortoot]

@hunterof7shadows

lol read your comment

[wootfortoot]

@hunterof7shadows

i think you have some issues

[pyee01]

4 ppl have nothing to believe in. theyre losers 4 life!!!! hahahahaha

[badgerbadger16]

@Music8734 I think you made a mistake on some of the lyrics. Awesome song either way though.

[TheDonbillz]

one of my favorite from this album by far

[TheDonbillz]

wow...thiss brings it back....flash back memories...i remember reading the lyrics n being absent minded to what this was about

[Symboliclarity]

my first cd too!

[JoelVert]

Something to believe in= SANDWICH OUBELIÉÉÉÉ hahaha xD

[hoorayforpee69]

best album ...

[Francipunkmetal]

AMO esta cancion!!!!!

[slimdanny]

This was my first CD!!!

[slaff40]

@slimdanny I had it on cassette only :o

[robzwel]

it smells like my teen spirit... take your sk8te and fuck off !!

[robzwel]

it smells like my teen spirit... take your sk8te and fuck off !!

[caucasianjake]

some of the lyrics typed out are wrong, but over all good job man. Sick song, love these guys till the end for sure!

[wolfmanjacksaid]

when I got Smash I was like ok this album is freaking amazing the next one can't be that great right? wrong- Ixnay on the Hombre rocked my face off. after those 2 though...the stuff is ok but those 2 CDs are my favorite

[Alfonse152]

-.-  in this fu**in' world there's anything to belive in

[soulmonk]

OooOOooO♫

[borisattva]

4 people think they live in la la land

[soydave1988]

i love this whole album. i wish they played stuff like this on the radio and not all the kesha and lady gaga crap

[theoffspringguy]

Idk how anyone can bash Americana or Conspiracy of One...those were two great albums. I guess it's just popular to bash bands' later albums to prove how much of a fan you are or something. I'll be the first to say the last two albums were disappointing, but this band gave me 6 great albums and keeps on putting it out for fans.....the new fans then get exposed to the old albums...nobody can help when they were born.

[BukkakeSniper]

@theoffspringguy Aside from the vocals, Americana and Smash have an entirely different sound, so it's easy to see how fans of one would not enjoy the other.

[seezarorest]

The lyrics are incorrect..It should be:

"If you take the sacred things

Things that we hold dear

Empty Promises is all you'll find"

and

"If you take home anything

let it be your will to think

The more cynical you become

The better off you'll be"

Pleas correct this. Cheers

[MusicVsSkating]

damn. im 17 and were covering great songs like this one in our band. bam.

[greenn37]

@MusicVsSkating

Cool!  Online validation!

[MusicVsSkating]

@greenn37 give us some time, ill make a video.

[TheSkuLLcomedyShow]

4 people don't believe it.

[gionnidigei]

The offspring were my first teenage music love. Too bad they've fucked themselves up like that nowadays. Anyway Ignition, Smash and IXnay are timeless albums.

[danin900]

@gionnidigei i agree, everything was great till Americana, then Offspring fucked up

still like 'em though

[l0veall]

@danin900 some songs on americana are dope

[danin900]

@l0veall yeah, but some songs ruined The Offspring's reputation

[newyorkyanks22]

@danin900 pretty fly for a white guy???

[danin900]

@newyorkyanks22 and She's Got Issues and Why Don't You Get An Job?

[rusticwiles0]

Was it something to believe in or was it suddenly too even? =)

[rusticwiles0]

@rusticwiles0 lol my own inside joke used to think it was "suddenly too even" not "something to believe in"

[royalsteven]

Well I give you God. This song message is more urgent today then ever. Today's youth is fucking up majorly compared to the generation X today is Generation Sucks. Superficial and materialistic beings we are not we are mostly intelligent and spiritual beings. I miss the good old 90's when bands used to kick ass and at least tried to convey a message. I mean wich songs today have a great intro like this one?

[Slayerhead17]

@royalsteven tell me about it dude i go to highschool with what i have dubbed as the disney generation. I am an avid fan of everything 90's and late 80's, punk music included. I'm pretty much an outsider but i'm damn proud of it; as the offspring once said, "i'm not a trendy asshole, do what i want, do what i feel like." I'm glad i'm not a plastic but i really wish i coulda gone to high school in the 90's, i agree with u totally man.

[royalsteven]

Just keep being yourself, no matter what others say! And be different than the herd. If the If they don't agree that is their problem!

[Slayerhead17]

@royalsteven oh i never will. I tried fitting in before and hated it, just felt like it wasn't me i was constantly asking myself "why am i hangin with these douchebags?" the only thing i hope is that i meet more genuine people in college since i'm a senior this year.

[Osmentx3]

good nute .

[debelabibica]

best 20 marks wellspent! all the song kicks ass on this cd!

[fuckamericanidiot]

the guitars sound awesome, fuck conspiracy! that chugging at 2:20, amazing. and STILL the biggest selling independent album of all time, EVER

[AlxMiNeR]

ITS cool to hate! :D but cool to enjoy offspring and pennywise ^^

[ITSMISTERK2001]

Offspring never gets old, seriously, they are the leaders of modern day music, period. They are pretty bad ass, bottom line.

[DeadTime34]

think it goes

"and if you look away

you'll be doing what they say

and if you look alive

you'll be singled out and tried"

[melaantaa]

this album has no bad song, every song is awesome!!

[guitarwaysted]

Might aswell play the whole album.

[guitarwaysted]

Who cares about the video, am making money with player poker over here,nice song for the final table.

[gongargongar]

haha the lyrics posted here are horrible

[formigatomicaa]

Fuckkk Nerf Herder!!!!!

[JesterJonez13]

I can listen to this forever.

[kphilpott77]

My dad bought this album for me when I was 7 yrs old. I fell in love with punk and didnt know what is was and have loved it ever sence.

[Madison991]

My favorite punk album....

[BeattieBullet94]

love the pickslide at the begining

[loserkid0908]

the lyrics you posted are so wrong

[ayethereztherub]

Get your bikes and boards, we're goin to 7-11!

[lcbaudar]

@ayethereztherub Aw yea - for ring pops & orbitz drinks lawl..

[TheRobiMariani]

NEVER BORED, incredible.................100­0s times and still not bored

if have to find a particular best one...smash the song

[MrKRYLAR]

lyrics are wrong in a couple of lines

[fuckamericanidiot]

@MrKRYLAR the liner notes are wrong, it does happen

[bedtimefordemocracy]

fucking love this song. one of the best on smash for sure!

[visible000]

Someone Tell Me Why I Can Listen To This Album Again And Again Without Getting Bored?

[MidNiteR32]

Cuz it's fucking awesome. Probably one of the best albums of the 90s.

[dyindaze]

@MidNiteR32 o ya it is

[y2jeff84]

smash is the best album they ever did. So many great songs

[Jagguar20]

Indeed bro. From "Time to Realx" to "Smash" there is not one song that I'm not in love with!

[djencode]

This takes me back to my teenage years!

[jeandepaul]

you saying that takes me back to my preschool years. I was a mushroom.

[charginmahlazors]

@djencode takes me back to my pre-teens lol. Bought this tape when i was in grade 5. Man I've always had good taste.

[SaradThamia]

@djencode I hear that! My bro was 12 when Americana came out. I was 15. This is the first rock band we ever go into(still have the original copy of Americana we got! lol. That CD actually survived our house fire.) and the first band we ever saw in concert! This is a good song but I still love "End of the Line" "Gone Away"(became my heart's song after losing 4 friends in high school) and "The Kids Aren't Alright." The Kids Aren't Alright and Youth Of The Nation were like my generation's anthems.

[Sw0rDMaNz]

We all need something to believe in! And this song proves iIt! =D

[doggienipple]

I did a school project with this song-

Everyone thought I was a maniac.

Public school needs an overhaul.

[Someinsanegenuis]

@doggienipple everyone is thinking about themself and what others think of them, so they are to busy to think u are a maniac :P

[cky2k06]

i remember my older brother always listening to this tape back in the day lol.

[worrior777]

he got the nickname dexter in highscholl. validictorian. noodles got his nickname in middle school. ron welty(drummer) had no nicknames except on tour, the called him lump. best fucking band ever. "when i feel adreniline coursing through my veins,its offspring i hear. -#1 fan

[IveGotTheNuts]

This is what I crank in my truck when I go sledding. Offspring to get you going.

[evanpoopshit]

The "woahs" in this song are are probably the best they've ever done. GREAT SONG!

[thearistocrate17]

smash is an album to own. the memories from junior high-priceless!

[eilrruughei]

YESSS!!! This brings back the memories...GOOD TIMES

[Slipknot808]

And if you go away

You'll be doing what they say

And if you've got a life

You'll be seeing that it's right

------------------------------­-----------------

Those lyrics are wrong. It's:

And if you look away

You'll be doing what they say

And if you look alive

You'll be singled out and tried

[cnelsonsmith]

thts right

[mybezerro]

yes yes yeshhhhh

best riff ever for intro

i fucking love this part too 2:22

[arthymian]

This song has the best beggining ever! great riff

[93riven]

the first 3 records I really good, even today (nostalgia mode off), too bad they released so much crap afterwards (with the exception of Pay the man which is an awesome, mature track, it's kinda weird it came on Americana)

[renato1942]

that´s right only the first 3 records is good, the rest is garbage

heheh pooor english

[henridvl1994]

@93riven

pay the man was made in the time of ixnay on the hombre. but because it was to different with the other songs on ixnay it came out on Americana.

Sorry for my english ; )

[MarmaaDuke]

By far the best Offspring song made XD

[DarkLabProductions]

totally! almost without a doubt!

i learned how to play this song and its so fun!

[muler321]

I just figured this out on drums today!

[krustikuhnt]

love Greg's bass bridge

[bulletnose51]

fuck you!

[Viking0fNorway]

niggerrrrr

[drewcolcher]

It's people like you that make me lament the absence of a selective abortion program that weeds out parasitic embryos.

[Viking0fNorway]

Go Fuck Youre Fat Moma before I´l do it!

gonna piss on ur grave, piss in youre eyes & Shit in ur face!

Shiit!

Legalize!

[Atoutlem0nde]

Oooohh look who's a big boy now? Using words like fuck and piss? I guess that makes you all grown up. And what was that? Talking about his momma? Oh yeah, that's real mature.

[Karuik2]

aint "e-tough guys" funny?

[Atoutlem0nde]

Y'know for a while they actually were. Now they're just downright annoying.

[Karuik2]

well ill give you that one. sometimes they can be entertaining. its gotten more rare than it used to be though.

[lawnyard]

bet you dont even do your own fucking

[Viking0fNorway]

suddenly one day you have fucked for the last time after ur dick is cut of and stuck down youre trought! LOL

[imawesome432]

congratulations on coming out of the closet thedoc56

[drewd1987]

this asshole needs to quit posting the wrong lyrics.

[punkrockrules8]

smash forever and ever!

the best album of music history

[DarkLabProductions]

without a doubt the best offspring album.. after they made this album, they sold out hard!

but thats my oppinion

[DaymanVersusNightman]

This is the real offspring! There old shit will always be better no matter how old it gets.

[Karuik2]

(im a bit late buuut...) HELL YES

[offspringrlegendjd]

yeah thats true the lyrics are better than the song

[islandcharmer09]

never gets old. fuckin love it

[FREEZERQC]

IT STILL ROCK!

[PureCore]

Incredible song, incredible lyrics!

[offspringrlegendjd]

must admit this is not the best of songs

[IDriveCarsFast]

The lyrics are better than the song overall

[DaymanVersusNightman]

Then you are clearly not the offspring legend

[offspringrlegendjd]

hey its my own view dick

[ClouDLiveZ]

i cut grass for 2 days to by this "cassette" back then well worth it

[JoelD311]

Haha that's awesome!

[Bayern11]

great fucking song... really describes on how i feel on society today...

I believe that reality's gone

Disillusion's real

I believe that morility's gone

And there's nothing to feel

Great, great song

[idioticminority27]

what cd is this from? *looks at screen* oh. well that helps to solve my dilema.... good song!

[GrungeDude411]

didnt like this song. boo. lol

[OffspringxRancidfan]

fuck off cody.

[GrungeDude411]

xD you gonna make me bitch xDD

[OffspringxRancidfan]

good.

[NirvanaRocks93]

retard. oh and you think im mentally retarded lol. you're the one who blocks everyone cause you're a fuckin pussy shit.

[619opivy]

I can and been listing to this cd for a long time and still puts me into bliss!

[msfsaint]

it's a bit of a pity that their more mainstream stuff is so stupid, but holland (or whatever his name is) almost got a phd, so he's kinda smart, and what he writes as funny lyrics is so fucking true. ppl look for things to believe in (aka stupid shit, mostly religious) and separate everyone else with the same kind of yearning for something to belive in

[fallensoldier100]

Dexter is KINDA smart? KINDA?

Try getting a P.h. D in molecular biology. It's not that he couldn't but it would divert too much of his attention away from the offspring.

[Acsabi44]

Greg Graffin has one in evolutionary biology

[candyseller29]

Fallensoldier:

Your comment said Dexter is KINDA smart but he is really really smart he was valid dictorian (spelled wrong sorry) In college that's why they nick named him dexter cuz he was super smart =)

[fallensoldier100]

My comment was directed at someone who said Dexter was "kinda" smart and I put emphasis on the kinda to make it seem ridiculous which it is.

[mickystoned]

"If you take home anything,

let it be your WILL TO THINK!"

great album always put it on after work.

[stancombewills]

And if you look away

You'll be doing what they say

And if you look alive

You'll be singled out and tried

Thanks for putting this up!!!

[POERULES]

hey man i am glad i am not the only one to catch tha little flaw kudos

[mrbreo]

I noticed it too. the mistake changes the entire meaning of the song from one of "think for yourself" to one of "we should be doing what everyone else is."

[rsbankvids969]

rock!!!!!

[damaged702401]

yes yes

[JosephCurrency]

These lyrics aren't entirely correct...let's get out the red pen.

1st verse, 3rd line: I believe that morality's gone

1st verse, 7th line: Empty promises, all you'll find

Fourth to last line: You'll be singled out and tried

Second to last line: The more cynical you become

There are a few other minor ones, but I figured those were worth pointing out (that's how it is in the liner notes, so I'm gonna assume what I put are the right lyrics).

But awesome song, thanks for putting it up.

[Music8734]

Ok Thanks i Fixed them up
