You're Gonna Go Far Kid
░The Offspring░ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Show me how to lie
You're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you get back into line
A mob jumps to their feet

Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
So play it out I'm wide awake
It's a scene about me
There's something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want
Well it's all because of me

Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you'll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid, trust, deceived!

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Now dance, fucker, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

So dance, fucker, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Clever alibis, Lord of the flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say




See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives

Overall Meaning

The Offspring's "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" is a song about manipulation and deceit. The lyrics describe someone who is skilled in lying and controlling others to get what they want. The song suggests that this person is dangerous and will ultimately succeed in their endeavors, even if it means hurting those around them.


The song's opening lines, "Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time," set the tone for the rest of the track. The singer recognizes the skill of the manipulator and marvels at their ability to turn people against one another. The lyrics go on to describe how this person uses clever words to incite a mob and how they revel in the chaos that follows.


As the song progresses, the manipulator appears to be plotting against someone in particular. The line "there's something in your way, and now someone is gonna pay" suggests that the singer knows that someone is going to be hurt, but is powerless to stop it. The song ends with the implication that the manipulator will continue to succeed in their scheming, and that they will go far.
