The Meaning Of Life Lyrics

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
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
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

Arent all Offspring songs like that? (blatant, i mean) still one of their best songs... offspring is like bad religion, you can't get tired of them and its not possible to not like just one of their songs...

i just love the sound of this song. it's also got a great meaning, another punk message. the song tells of how authority figures wanna shove down your throat their interpritation of how you should live your life. this song tells people to live life their own fuckin way, even if they make mistakes along the way

I think someone screwed this up and posted 2 sets of lyrics.

Meaning of Life is about being forcefed your life to you instead of choosing your own path.

not poetic, but definately has a message and is not meaningless ramblings like some punk and pop bands... I think it's perfect for their music. Why conceal the meaning? They still use satire and such, so it's deep, just not hidden. -Taco

this song is amazing. why the hell are there so few posts?

in the same vein as all i want, its about finding things for yourself and taking the other road. Pretty much ecompasing the meaning of punk. good stuff.
