Look at me while I look at you
Seeing eye to eye we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing
If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just keep it your own
I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected
If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just leave me alone
I would be patient but it takes so long
I don't want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day
If you've got a vision
Then I don't want to see
If you've got a notion
Don't waste it on me
Seeing eye to eye we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing
If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just keep it your own
I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected
If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just leave me alone
I would be patient but it takes so long
I don't want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day
If you've got a vision
Then I don't want to see
If you've got a notion
Don't waste it on me

this songs reminds me my ex relationship!
act like this!
i was too young to understand what was going on in the world at the time they wrote this but i think there was a war going on somewhere in the early 1990's and the song is about 2 political figures that disagree and continue killing innocent people in their war.
"if we destroy eachother we might save a life or two"
this line is what really got me thinking this. if they both die theyll end up saving many peoples lives because they wont be around to kill everyone.
i could be totally wrong but i think this might be what its about.
Forever and a day - the songs last song is no different.
I think the song is about staying true to your own opinions, and not be led by other people. "Lean on me while I lean on you" is sort of "When the blind follows a blind..."
This song was also written under Offsprings time on Epitaph records, and maybe they were influenced by Brett and Bad Religion, and then the song is about not being blinded by religion. Only Dex knows
