You're Gonna Go Far Kid
The Offspring爀 Lyrics

Show me how to lie
Teach me how to deceive others

You're getting better all the time
Your lying skills are improving

And turning all against the one
Turning everyone against a person

Is an art that's hard to teach
It takes a certain level of skill to be able to manipulate others

Another clever word
Another deceitful statement

Sets off an unsuspecting herd
Tricks people into believing something that is not true

And as you get back into line
As you conform to expectations

A mob jumps to their feet
People are easily influenced and will follow the crowd

Now dance, fucker, dance
Now manipulate the situation and control others

Man, he never had a chance
He was powerless against your manipulation

And no one even knew
No one realized it was all your doing

It was really only you
You were the one pulling the strings all along

And now you steal away
You get away with what you've done

Take him out today
Convince others to harm him

Nice work you did
You succeeded in your manipulation

You're gonna go far, kid
You will succeed in life with your manipulation skills

With a thousand lies
With many deceitful statements

And a good disguise
And a convincing facade

Hit 'em right between the eyes
Manipulate them successfully

When you walk away
When you are finished manipulating

Nothing more to say
There is nothing left to be revealed

See the lightning in your eyes
Your deceitful nature is apparent in your eyes

See 'em running for their lives
Others are frightened by your manipulation

Slowly out of line
Slowly deviating from expectations

And drifting closer in your sights
Becoming a target of your manipulation

So play it out I'm wide awake
So continue with your manipulation, but I am aware of it

It's a scene about me
Your manipulation is aimed at me

There's something in your way
There is an obstacle to your manipulation

And now someone is gonna pay
Someone will be blamed for the obstacle

And if you can't get what you want
If you are not successful in manipulating as you desire

Well it's all because of me
You blame me for your failure

Now you'll lead the way
Now you will take charge and manipulate the situation

Show the light of day
Show others what they are supposed to think or do

Nice work you did
You succeeded in manipulating as you desired

You're gonna go far, kid, trust, deceived!
You will succeed in life with your manipulation skills, but others must be careful to not trust you

Clever alibis, Lord of the flies
Deceptive excuses and an ability to control others like the character in the novel 'Lord of the Flies'

Hit 'em right between the eyes
Successfully manipulate them

So dance, fucker, dance
Continue manipulating

I never had a chance
Others are powerless against your manipulation
