[Verse 1]
I've been told that to get what you want
You just got to give what you can
But I know for what I want, it don't come easy as that
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 [x3]
And for all I know
I swear I never will

[Verse 2]
Do you think you'd sell your soul
To just have one thing turn out right?
For the thousandth time you turn and 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]

[Bridge]
No way out
Same old stuff always drags me down
No way out
Never going to get up, get on
No way out
Get it right, now

[Chorus]

The Offspring

The Offspring is an American punk rock band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1984. The current line-up of the band Brian Keith “Dexter” Holland (vocals, guitar), Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman (lead guitar), Greg “Greg K.” Kriesel (bass), and Pete Parada (drums).

The Offspring is currently one of the biggest punk rock acts, along with the likes of Green Day, Rancid, and Sublime, all of which come from California. The Offspring and other groups are credited for reviving main-stream punk rock, though it isn’t as popular as it was in the ‘80s.
