Em 1984, os adolescentes Dexter Holland e Greg Kriesel, que eram colegas de ginásio em Huntington Beach, resolveram formar uma banda após saírem de um concerto da banda de projeção local Social Distortion. Mais tarde, Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman foi chamado para banda pelo seu infame talento de conseguir bebidas alcoólicas para os integrantes da banda, na época menores de idade. Tocando sob o nome de Manic Subsidal, em 1986 a banda decide trocar de nome para The Offspring.

[Verse] E5 One is for envy and one just for spite C5 The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes G5 Don't make it better D5 The twisting knife turns all by itself, on to someone else
E5 Your self-liberation will leave this behind C5 Beyond slings and arrows, bearing on our mind G5 Don't make it better D5 Shake it off, it never mattered, anyway
G5D5 If we don't make it alive B5E5 It's a hell of a good day to die. D5C5 All our light that shines strong D5G5 Only lasts for so long. G5D5 And it's ashes to ashes again B5E5 Should we even try to pretend? D5C5 All our light that shines strong D5G5 Only lasts for so long.
E5 The banner you're waving is burning in red C5 It's blocking the sunlight, that shines overhead G5 You against the world D5 Diamonds and pearls, voices inside you churn, watch the city burn
E5 Your own liberation will leave them behind C5 All the slings and arrows, bearing on your mind G5 Don't make it better D5 Break it 'cause it never mattered anyway
G5D5 If we don't make it alive B5E5 It's a hell of a good day to die. D5C5 All our light that shines strong D5G5 Only lasts for so long. G5D5 And it's ashes to ashes again B5E5 Should we even try to pretend? D5C5 All our light that shines strong D5E5 Only lasts for so long.
E5C5G5D5 E5C5G5D5 I won't come down
E5 The banner you're waving C5 Is burning in red G5 You against the world, diamonds and pearls D5 It never mattered, mattered, mattered anyway
G5D5 If we don't make it alive B5E5 It's a hell of a good day to die. D5C5 All our light that shines strong D5G5 Only lasts for so long. G5D5 And it's ashes to ashes again B5E5 Should we even try to pretend? D5C5 All our light that shines strong D5E5 Only lasts for so long. D5C5 All our light that shines strong D5G5 Only lasts for so long.
