Orange County is included in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area. Thirty-four incorporated cities are located in the county; the newest is Aliso Viejo, which was incorporated in 2001. Anaheim was the first city, incorporated in 1870, when the region was still part of neighboring Los Angeles County. Whereas most population centers in the United States tend to be identified by a major city, there is no defined urban center in Orange County. It is mostly suburban except for some traditionally urban areas at the centers of the older cities of Anaheim, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Orange, and Santa Ana. There are several edge city-style developments such as Irvine Business Center, Newport Center, and South Coast Metro.
The county is known for tourism with attractions like Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, and several popular beaches along its more than 40 miles (64 km) of coastline. It is also known for its political conservatism—a 2005 academic study listed three Orange County cities as among America's 25 most conservative, making it one of two counties in the United States containing more than one such city (Maricopa County, Arizona also had three cities on the list.) Orange County is part of the Tech Coast.
Secrets from the Underground
The Offspring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the promise of tomorrow,
That tricks and leaves you in the dark
There's something in the air,
And there's something rising up
Not one but a million that have had enough
Hey,yo, no
I'm not good at going away
I got something more to say
Kickin', screaming, it knocks you down, it knocks you down
Hey yo, go, underneath we'll tear you down
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!
This is not an anthem,
Or a threat in someone's name
But a promise that tomorrow
Will rock and burn, and things won't change!
There's something in the air,
There's something rising up
Not one but a million that have had enough!
Hey,yo, no
I'm not good at going away
I got something more to say
Kickin', screaming, it knocks you down, it knocks you down
Hey yo, go, underneath we'll tear you down
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!
Underneath we'll tear you down
Oh, oh, oh, secrets from the underground
Hey, no, no
I'm not good at going away
I got something more to say
Kickin', screaming, it knocks you down, it knocks you down
Hey yo, go, underneath we'll tear you down
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!
Hey yo, go
Hey yo, go
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!
