Easily one of The Offspring’s finest songs and so underrated.

I'm a senior citizen (over 65), and to be honest, I like very few groups from the 90s on. The Offspring is the exception. They're the complete package. Dexter's killer vocals, kick-ass instrumentals, perfect melodies, and above all, hard-hitting, honest, down-to-Earth lyrics. They're not whining, they're not bitching, they're just telling you how it is. Every album is pure gold, and I always travel with at least half a dozen Offspring CDs in my truck.

As a teenager listening to The Offspring, I will find the meaning of life by my way.

コレコレから来ましたｗ じいさんの２０年探してた曲を２分で見つけてくれたコレリス最高ｗ

as a man in a wheel chair who loves to feel speed this brings me more joy then it should

This is why the Offspring is legendary. Killer music with meaningful lyrics.

This is without doubt my favourite punk song of all time. I remember excitedly buying this album on release. I’m now 39 and still listen to this album. This song though has everything. Fast drums, rocking guitars and lyrics about making your own way in life. How can you top that? Oh yeah, don’t make it too long! Perfect

Who’s here 23 years after Tekken: The Motion Picture?

ふん～ふんふんふんふん～

ふんふふん（鼻歌）よりw 思ったよりアップテンポな曲で草

Mad Max: Paraplegic Road

"Sorry if I don't feel like living the way you do." The way he delivers tha line is fuckin gold.

reading a lot here from people who say the lyrics of that song describe their teenage years, but for me it seems the older I get, the more relevant those lyrics become for me

某配信者さんの生配信で気になって見にきました！

if your listening to offspring in 2024 you're a fucking legend 🌟

The power of the offspring burns bright in this one. What a way to kick the album off after 'the disclaimer' he ha. This band have never failed to provoke the most energy in me. Eternally grateful for that! X

見つかってよかった

I first heard this song at the end credits of Tekken: The Motion Picture.

Who listening in 2024 ???

いや、なつかしいなｗ 20年悩んでたじいさんありがとう。青春を思い出してOffspringをまた聞きたいと思ったｗ

On the way Trying to get where I'd like to stay I'm always feeling steered away By someone trying to tell me What to say and do I don't want it I gotta go find my own way I gotta go make my own mistakes Sorry man for feeling Feeling the way I do [Chorus] Oh yeah, oh yeah Open wide and they'll shove in Their meaning of life Oh yeah, oh yeah But not for me, I'll do it on my own Oh yeah, oh yeah Open wide and swallow their meaning of life I can't make it work your way Thanks but no thanks Whoaaaaahhhhhhhh [Verse 2] By the way I know your path has been tried and so It may seem like the way to go Me, I'd rather be found Trying something new And the bottom line In all of this seems to say There's no right and wrong way Sorry if I don't feel like Living the way you do [Chorus] Oh yeah, oh yeah Open wide and they'll shove in Their meaning of life Oh yeah, oh yeah But not for me, I'll do it on my own Oh yeah, oh yeah Open wide and swallow their meaning of life I can't make it work your way Thanks but no thanks [Chorus] Oh yeah, oh yeah Open wide and they'll shove in Their meaning of life Oh yeah, oh yeah But not for me, I'll do it on my own Oh yeah, oh yeah Open wide and swallow their meaning of life I can't make it work your way Thanks but no thanks Whoaaaaahhhhhhhh

My fave Offspring song. Really was the perfect kick-off for Ixnay.

Definitely in their Top 5 songs. The whole of Ignition, Smash and most of Ixnay are perfection in punk. The sound captures the era.

鼻歌まんまや😂 いい曲と出会えました😊

Offspring are the masters of having random awesome stuff in their music videos!

One of the most underrated song of his band

when music was music. Sucks to say im 28 and the new generation will never know what it was to growup listening to Americana and albums like this. Hopefully someday someone will stumble across this comment 20 years from now and say wow music has changed lol

The brightest moments of my childhood...the Offspring. Thank you

Soundtrack of my teenage years..

This band reserved a place deep in my heart. I remember when my school friend gave me my first Offspring (Americana)Album from his elder brother at the age of 8. Unforgotten.....

they don't stop to amaze me. respect Offspring!!!!

I feel like this song suits me well, due to it being fast-paced and aggressive. But mostly because I'm at times told how to act, what to do, and what to like. But another way I interpreted it is that people should live the way they want as long as no harm is being done. The Offspring as a whole have taught me to flip the finger to those kind of people. Seriously, I've gotta thank these guys if I ever get the chance to meet them!

I always take from this song, and video., Never give up, Never give in, Never quit. No matter what life throws at you. Live life on your own terms. And have been since '97. Rock on, Offspring, Rock on.

One of my all time favorite songs. And I'm talking about all music not just Offspring songs. Great beat, great vocals and a great message!

I remember being in 6th grade hearing this album for the first time on cassette and then seeing the music video on mtv. Back when mtv played music. Than seeing it pop up in skate and motocross videos. Oh the memories of the good ol days

I would pay all the moneys in order to see extreme wheelchair racing live

Still an awesome song in 2023 ! My favorite song by Offspring. 🤘 55 years young and still rocking this hard doing this and Kids aren't all Right vocals and guitar in my band here in the Philippines. People love it! 🇺🇲

I remember in the UK at the time. I was drowning in endless Britpop and Spice Girls, this ablum was a real saviour, such a breath of fresh air. I still have the chills down my back listening to these tracks as I did when I put Inxay in my cassette walkman for the first time over a quarter of a century ago.

Some are fanatical about iron maiden, others Metallica... But for me The Offspring are the greatest band ever!

For me, THE best Offsprings song. Fight me, or just listen to this finest piece of art which is really special. It's cleaning up my twisted or stucked mind no matter if I'm super happy cause riding long way home for Christmas nor when I'm confused, sad and depressed when everything around is phuckin up although I'm trying to do my best. Pure three minutes of magic. Thanks guys.

The whole album is phenomenal!

….aaand I’m 16 again 😎🤘🤘

The offspring have a culture of their own, the surf and skating. I always listen to dirty magic when I go surfing I love the California lifestyle that they portray so awesome. I love the offspring from when I was 14 till now 30 I think the song the kids aren't alright is like an anthem for what is happen to society. I'm not sure how

This song is really underrated. I prefer this to Gone Away.

コレコレ聖地巡り

Listened to this growing up. Now I'm 30 and it's more relevant than ever

Still remember that this song came to my mind the first time that been in Long Beach in 2019....The Offspring is one of the best bands in the history

Ixnay on the Hombre....my favorite album of my Sr year in high school. So many cool memories cruising around to all these songs

Los amo tanto ❤

Simple about complex stuff. Always loved Dexter's lyrics.

Suck a kickass song. Pure punk energy!

группа моей юности ! Декстер - красавчик ! люблю вас парни !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! панк рок форева !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember I first heard this during the closing credits of a Tekken animated movie years ago. Had to go down quite the rabbit hole to find it again. Really worth the hassle

This song, and all the whole album is underrated.

I love this song. So representative of adolescent years. On the way Trying to get where I'd like to say I'm always feeling steered away By someone trying to tell me What to say and do I don't want it I gotta go find my own way I gotta go make my own mistakes Sorry man for feeling Feeling the way I do Oh yeah Oh yeah Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life Oh yeah Oh yeah Not for me I'll do it on my own Oh yeah Oh yeah Open wide and swallow their meaning of life I can't make it work your way Thanks but no thanks

Как же я тащусь от голоса этого парня 😊 уже и лет мне под сраку , и песни миллион раз слышал , и всё равно радуюсь , вновь и вновь . Офспринг это офспринг 😊 . Кто со мной ?

Ixnay the best and underrated album of this band

One of the best they ever done.

Ixnay is one of the best music from the 90's

コレコレから来た人いない？

Люблю именно эту композицию

This is literally my childhood. I remember hearing this song in steel roots, and loved it ever since

Offspring it's the best of punk rock

これこれからきた！

Their music still drives me. Their songs were and will always awesome. Thanks for your effort to make this art 🤟🤟🤟🤟

THE OFFSPRING = BAND LEGENDARY , CLASSIC AND COOL

Всегда превосходно!!!!

GREAT MUSIC..GREAT LYRICS.! AT THAT TIME EVERY YOUNGSTER COULD RELATE TO THE LYRICS..

何年経っても。 最高だろ！！！

Offspring in old surf videos nothing better

Offspring fans at an old folk's home in 30 years.

So what I've taken from this video is that the meaning of life is to race paraplegic people on turbo powered wheel chairs....sounds good to me

I love this song. I always liked the lyrics, but just giving it a listen after not hearing it for a while, the lyrics are REALLY resonating with me right now!

First Punk song I ever heard, I was 11. My life changed that very moment, and in my late 30's now the only constant in my life still is Punk. Do what you want, deal with the crap and don't give a sh*t what everyone else thinks. If your life is different from what everyone expects, hooray for you

コレたんのつべら見てすぐきたわ

THE OFFSPRING ES EL MEJOR PUNK ROCK DEL MUNDO

todo lo que hace The Offspring es un rotundo exito

The life of the offspring was the life of me when I was younger

Offspring ne m'a jamais déçu sur les ouvertures de leurs albums...toujours des gros hits électriques.

My older brother got this album when it came out, I was hooked and copied it on tape.True beginning of my punk years, and the start of the years of worry for my mother haha. Soon I would become hooked to hardcore and still am till this day. But about this song/the Offspring: We went 3days camping with school at age 12 and my father drove 5 of us. Smash and Xnay on the A&B sides of my tape and he played both sides on the way over there. I couldn't feel more happy and proud that he didn't throw it out. Just told him this story, 18 fckn years ago already, and he remembered as well. Oh yes, Annemarie was the girl we all were in love with hahaha! It's nice to still have a connection with a song, still find yourself in its lyrics and also think about one of my role models, all in the same song. Keep truckin' y'all!

某配信から！

One of their best songs! 🤘🏻

One of favourite Offspring songs, it has a real punk rock meaning

The woah yeaeyea's really do it for me

What happened to you guys? Ignition, Smash, Ixnay, Americana, Conspiracy of one...maybe Splinter... and then... lol I know it is too late to change again so I will keep listening your old songs, the one's that made my feel alive. That song was awesome by the way...;)

My top3 The Offspring songs: 1. The Meaning of Life 2. The Kids aren't Alright 3. Want You Bad

2019 and The offspring is still helping show me the meaning of life

What a tune, never gets old.

this song has a lot of meanings for me. Religion: You can't tell me how to live my life with god. He does HIm, I do me. As he intended so excuse me if it bothers you. Life: Nothing in life is easy, you can't tell me what I want to do with my life because its not yours. Things work differently from person to person, Yeah give me advice, but don't be mad if I do it my way. Being Disabled: Its not over because it looks like it from other people's perspectives in how life can be for them if they were in a state where they are limited. All because THEY think you are done doesn't mean YOU should feel that way too. Push away those who try to control your life through their experiences. Nothing is absolute. Nothing is limited long as you believe in yourself. Swallow your pride at least you did something new

Dexter's voice has so much range

I finally found The Meaning Of Life! YES!!!

what a band. I love them.

Thank you Tekken animated movie for letting me know this song existed.

Skate and Offspring.I Love It!!!!

The four horsemen of the apocalypse

ixnay on the hombre, es uno de los mejor discos PUNK ROCK de toda una vida

Cant say enough theyr so good ☕ One best bands ever💪🤘

I miss this kind of music❤😢

The perfect song to end Tekken: The Motion Picture

Больше 20 лет прошло... а круто по сей день🔥🔥🔥
