You're Gonna Go Far Kid
Offspring Lyrics

Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time
Teach me how to deceive since you're becoming more skilled at it over time.

And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach
It takes talent to make a group of people turn against one person; it's not an easy skill to master.

Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd
A crafty phrase can manipulate a group of people who are not aware of the truth.

And as you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet
As you conform to society's standards, the same people who once opposed you will now support you suddenly.

Now dance, fucker, dance, man, he never had a chance
You took advantage of someone who was vulnerable and controlled their every move.

And no one even knew it was really only you
No one realized that you were the mastermind behind everything all along.

And now you steal away
You're leaving with everything you've wanted and you're never looking back.

Take him out today
Destroying someone else's metaphorical position on top by making them look bad to others.

Nice work you did
You've accomplished what you set out to do, and it was done flawlessly.

You're gonna go far, kid
You're going to be successful in the future with your deceitful skills.

With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Using many falsehoods and a strong facade to appear as someone who is trustworthy and a good person.

Hit 'em right between the eyes
Targeting their weaknesses with definitive and devastating tactics.

When you walk away, nothing more to say
You can leave with your head held high since your work here is done.

See the lightning in your eyes
You're satisfied with your victory and your eyes reflect your inner emotions.

See 'em running for their lives
Others are trying to escape from you after realizing the truth.

Slowly out of line, and drifting closer in your sight
You've gained the upper hand and are slowly rising to the top while others are falling in line behind you.

So play it out, I'm wide awake, it's a scene about me
I understand what you're doing to me and I'm ready to confront you.

There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay
You have obstacles in your path, and you're willing to hurt someone else to overcome them.

And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me
If you don't succeed, it's because I sabotaged you and prevented you from achieving your goal.

Now you'll lead the way, show the light of day
You're now the one in charge and you'll help others see the truth in your manipulative ways.

Trust deceived
Your trust in others has been betrayed, and you've learned that most people cannot be counted on.

Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies
Your excuse for your deceitful actions is ingenious, and you are the king of those who follow you blindly.

Dance, fucker, dance, he never had a chance
You're mocking someone you've defeated and reminding them that they had no chance of winning against you.

Hit 'em right between the eyes
Continue to target your opponent's weaknesses and keep hitting them hard.

When you walk away, nothing more to say
You got what you wanted, and there's no reason to continue the conversation or the charade.

See the lightning in your eyes
Your eyes now show your aggression and your desire for power.

See 'em running for their lives
Those that once admired you are now running away from you, fearful of what you're truly capable of.
