Blackball Lyrics - Offspring - Offspring

In this world of hate and shallowness 

Where enemies become your consolation 

And those of us who win the game give up our minds 

I don't call that winning 

Say this doesn't apply to you 

But ask yourself first 

What have I done today to win the game 

And just what have I sacrificed 

Win the battle lose the war 

I know I've played this game before 

When people were still real 

I don't want this anymore 

It's time for me to close the door 

There's nothing left to feel

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

Reflect on all our yesterdays 

My own words choke me 

Why were they spoken 

Regret for the things I've said and done 

Just can't compare with 

Regret for those that I have never tried 

So blame this world or blame yourself 

It's really all the same 

When you are standing on the precipice 

From which you just cannot return 

Win the battle or lose the war 

I know I've played this game before 

When people were still real 

I don't want this anymore 

It's time for me to close the door 

There's nothing left to feel 

Photos 

In the style of forgotten men 

I look to my horizon 

I see nothing 

While thoughts of guns and desecration 

Sweep through my mind 

But only coffins and bones remain 

As I look to you 

The emptiness behind your eyes 

Seals my decision 

Can't carry on in this world of jugglers 

Where all this thoughtlessness and bludgeonings 

Your key to success 

What kind of tradition to carry on 

Blackball The new disease 

Blackball The new disease 

Blackball Your evil ways 

Have found their way inside me 

Blackball The new disease 

Blackball The new disease 

Blackball For a better life 

In this high tech dog eat dog existence
