what dou think about Elders (http://www.song-list.net/theoffspring/elders/tracks) song? amazing one!;)

When we younger
There always seemed like some
Some perfect mold
That we're supposed to be
But now we're growing up and
I see it's just not that way
Now I feel like someones lied to me
Cause I've been true
Made good for you
And now I feel used
I'm asking you
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you
Tell me now elders
What wre your reasons for
Making it seem
Like you were so much more
If you want to feel good
Because of our accomplishments
Why the fuck
Don't you just do it yourself
Cause I've tried
Man I've tried
While you all lied
So now just tell me
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you
Look at all the families now
Who don't talk and don't trust
Because of the way
That things have been done
When will you finally learn
To leave out the bullshit
And just be straight with us

Whole Self-titled is really underrated in my opinion.

I'm not sure if I understand this song.

Someone told him, that being "elder" is great and easy and that his generation will be happy, right? Or he was observing elders and he concluded that it's "cool" to be elder? If the second one, why he feels like someone lied to him? That "someone" can be him only,right? Now those "elders" are judging his generation that they are not like them? Or he found out that "elders" aren't that perfect as they pretend to be?

I can actually say that the Self Titled album is the best album.
No questions asked, Awesome solos, and dexters voice was mind blowing..


P.S: I have an audio that is a performance of A Thousand Days, It's really old, I'm supprised becuase of the fact that Dexter actually sang it higher than the original, And he pulled it off, Ahhh Dexter was a really good singer..

elders is such a great song, nice melody and lyrics, but hey, arent we talking about offspring here? :P

I love the whole CD. My favorite track is a cross between Demons and Crossroads.

Elders is a good track. I wish they still played it live.

Jennifer Lost The War, Out On Patrol, Demons and I'll Be Waiting are my favourite of S/T at the moment.

I actually prefer Revelations to Out On Patrol, the opening solo is awesome, it's what Out On Patrol needs.

Elders is a great song also, especially when the 'look at all the familes now' part kicks in. But I tend to overlook it by those other 4 songs.

Yeah, I think the demo is so much better, To bad mister Thom Willson thought it wasn't punk..
