Mota

It's not a strictly anti-drug song but instead a criticism of drugs taking over your life and becoming your persona.

Alright people, Let set the record straight(I hope). This song, is NOT pro drugs/marijuana, but it is not entirely anit-drug/marijuana either. If your a true Offspring fan, you'll know what I'm talking about. In the song, it explains the bad part about pot, totally, 100%. (Not clearly) But if you really listen, it's also saying that if you are gonna smoke, be a smart stoner. NOT a stupid stoner. The 'stupid stoner' is like everyone here explained, the stoners that only live their life off pot, everyday, morning and night and nothing else, retarded and stupid, like that's their life. The smart stoner, at least in my words, are those who smoke pot, but don't let it control their lives, they still read books, go to school, have out with friends and such and such. I smoke pot but I didn't let it control my life. I'm about to graduate actually(not that any of you care, anyway).

If you want me to support my statement. Here's some support.

-The line 'Losing out might be okay all night/life'. The 'might be okay' stood out to me the most because like I said, The Smart/Stupid stoner theory, depending which direction your going, it 'MIGHT' be okay all night or all life.

-I'm sure your all aware of the MOTA music video(Yes, there is music video for this song you so called 'Offspring fans') If you watch during intro drum parts of the video, it shows in fast flipping a variety of people that smoke pot. It shows many different people, from mothers, doctors, old people, young people, ect. Thus, saying that EVERYONE SMOKES POT.

-Most importantly, at the end of the Music Video, it's live footage of the band finishing the song, and after the song was over, it shows in full glory the (old)drummer Ron Welty grabbing a joint from a roadie or someone backstage. Totally gets handed to him and he takes a hit. Thus kind of telling you something there.

I bet you a million dollars some of you are going straight to Youtube after this . . .

I rest my case.

+OFFSPRING 4 LIFE SON+

Wonder if my mate Wallin remembers this song from when he liked the offspring. Wonder if he'd give a fuck if i reminded him.

Lifeson just summed up exactly what I wanted to say. Yeah I sort of quit pot last month, and I'm pretty glad I did. I'm thinking that I might just do it on the odd occasion, but not as much as I used to

Wow k this is gona be the first comment on this song. alright this song is obviously about drugs aint it and Mota is a word for 'weed' for thsoe who dont know. So this song seems to be basicaly saying drugs are fu*king up your life but who cares when it feels this good!

no way

dont badmouth the drugs!!!

If anyone doesnt understand the mezaning of this song they're an idiot

agreed foffof, its bloody obvious. Dam awesome, fast song, still one of my offspring favourites

The idiocy is apparent in the grammar and spelling in this thread.
