They’ve answered their own questions with a resounding yes through a packed itinerary of shows and a handful of recordings that are among the rawest musical experiences of the new decade. Combining reckless improvisational energy with the combined skills of four deadly sharp musicians, OFF! have dug down through a decades’ worth of accumulated stylistic garbage, and rediscovered the stripped down core of noise, speed, and rock & roll that punk seemed to have lost forever.
What's Next
OFF! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Parking lot concentration camp
Looted and polluted
Sociopath's clearcutting profit
Coughing up their discharge
What did you do
Once you knew?
What now?
What's next?
Who's gonna save your world?
Plan B doesn't exist
Ruin the cycle pursuit of cash
Make this hurting stop
Every fourth breath
Nothing's left
What now?
What's next?
Who's gonna save your world?
Plan B doesn't exist
Go and torch the white sheets
Washed over rising tides
How will you replace them
Once they've died?
What now?
What's next?
Who's gonna save your world?
Plan B doesn't exist
The lyrics of OFF!'s song "What's Next" reflect a sense of urgency and desperation towards the destruction of the planet caused by humans. The opening lines "Bulldozed over green mansions, parking lot concentration camp, looted and polluted" suggests how the destruction of nature has resulted in the construction of urban landscapes leading to an environmental crisis. The imagery of bulldozers and parking lots as a concentration camp indicates how nature is being treated as a prisoner by humans. The line “Looted and polluted” implies how nature is being used as a resource with no consideration towards its preservation, leading to its destruction.
The theme of the song revolves around the question of what will happen next, given the current state of environmental destruction. The lines "What now? What's next? Who's gonna save your world? Plan B doesn't exist," make us ponder over the fact that humans are relentlessly destroying everything around us, and there seems to be no backup plan in place. The line "Every fourth breath, nothing's left" highlights the fear of how soon, there will be nothing left for us to survive on, leading to a dangerous future.
In conclusion, "What's Next" by OFF! is a confrontational song urging humanity to think about the consequences of their actions towards the environment before it's too late. The song calls for urgent action and a change in the way we live and the way we treat nature.

Guys, this song is actually exclusive to GTA 5 because Keith Morris is the radio's host in the game, so he was able to have this song on there exclusively.
