One Fine Day Lyrics
I would have it start this way
Open up the fridge and have a tall boy
Yeah
Head out to the game again
We don't even really care who wins
Now excitement seems to grow
When we're hangin' with the bro's
When we're chillin' and we pound a case of Stroh's
Now the game is cool to see
You can "High 5" on TV
Count the riot on the one two three
Operation is in sight
And the field is open wide
When you break it then you know you're still alive
If the cops don't make you pay
And you make your getaway
Then you know
That's one fine day
We could torch a car or two
Then have ourselves another tall boy
Yeah
That's the real game that's on
I don't really give a shit who wins
To destroy everything in my sight
Cause it never gets dull, it never gets old
The only thing it gets is more bold
Drinkin', fightin', going to the game
In our world it's a way to stay sane
If you're asking me
To have it my way, I'd say that's
One fine day
What amuses me most are the posts on here by people who don't realize the song is a SATIRE, as are so many of The Offspring's best. Despite being brilliantly catchy and fun, the actual content of the song is SATIRE, not a glorification of football riots. The point is that it's sad, pathetic really, that people think of this sort of thing as "one fine day." As with a majority of The Offspring's work, this song is a piece of social commentary about yet another thing that's wrong with people and society. The crowning line comes toward the end: "I believe it's my God-given right, to destroy everything in my sight." It doesn't take a dedicated fan to get the message from their other work that they clearly don't believe that, any more than they believe that it's really "Cool To Hate." I guess that's the danger of satire: there's always someone out there stupid enough to not notice that it's satire and take it at face-value.

That being said, I really enjoy this song's message non-satirically. Running around blowing up cars and getting drunk is something that's really fun to listen to a song about, even if it's not something I'd like to do in real life.

this is another really sarcastic song. the beat is so fuckin catchy and it gets stuck in your head. the song is about getting completely wasted, partying, fighting, and rioting. basically it satarizes the idiots who riot on the streets for no reason (like oakland raider fans)
I agree with you, ninjawaiter. Some people even call Cool To Hate their anthem Like you said there will always be people who won't get it right
Someone up there said "i love the meaning of this song cuz its everything that would be a perfect day for me too!! =)" What a moron
The Offspring uses sarcasm and satire in a lot of their songs
Ah, another (perfect) example of The Offspring's wry sarcasm... I love these guys. They just take a straightforward subject and make it all sarcastic. Just like "Cool To Hate," which is an equally awesome song. :)
songs like this show why the offspring is one of the best bands today. they can write great hardcore punk songs (all i want), great punk pop songs (want you bad), and songs like this that dont really fit in any genre, and still have one of the most recognizable sounds today. they should have made this a single though, because it is one of the catchiest songs they have ever written.
CRAZY TAXI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Siiiickkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Moe
this is dana's favorite song
this is one of the greatest songs ever the concept is the best
i love the meaning of this song cuz its everything that would be a perfect day for me too!! =)
Its about Football("Soccer" to americans) RIOTS. When I go to visit my homeland I try to catch as many Footie matches as I can. And I have been this situation many a times. CAN'T BEAT THEM....JOIN THEM.
