The Offspring Lyrics for Song: Blackball
 Lyrics for Album: The Offspring [1989]
 
 
 
 18373>In this world of hate and shallowness
 
 Where enemies become your consolation
 
 And those of us who win the game give up our minds
 
 I don't call that winning
 
 Say this doesn't apply to you
 
 But ask yourself first
 
 What have I done today to win the game
 
 And just what have I sacrificed
 
 
 
 Win the battle lose the war
 
 I know I've played this game before
 
 When people were still real
 
 I don't want this anymore
 
 It's time for me to close the door
 
 There's nothing left to feel
 
 
 
 Reflect on all our yesterdays
 
 My own words choke me
 
 Why were they spoken
 
 Regret for the things I've said and done
 
 Just can't compare with
 
 Regret for those that I have never tried
 
 So blame this world or blame yourself
 
 It's really all the same
 
 When you are standing on the precipice
 
 From which you just cannot return
 
 
 
 Win the battle or lose the war
 
 I know I've played this game before
 
 When people were still real
 
 I don't want this anymore
 
 It's time for me to close the door
 
 There's nothing left to feel
 
 
 
 In the style of forgotten men
 
 I look to my horizon
 
 I see nothing
 
 While thoughts of guns and desecration
 
 Sweep through my mind
 
 But only coffins and bones remain
 
 As I look to you
 
 The emptiness behind your eyes
 
 Seals my decision
 
 Can't carry on in this world of jugglers
 
 Where all this thoughtlessness and bludgeonings
 
 Your key to success
 
 What kind of tradition to carry on
 
 
 
 Blackball The new disease
 
 Blackball The new disease
 
 Blackball Your evil ways
 
 Have found their way inside me
 
 
 
 Blackball The new disease
 
 Blackball The new disease
 
 Blackball For a better life
 
 In this high tech dog eat dog existence
