-Offspring Lyrics: Offspring (self-titled)-
Blackball 
  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
