You're Gonna Go Far Kid
The Offspring(오프스프링) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The Offspring's "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" is a song that delves into the art of deception and manipulation. The song begins with the opening lines, "Show me how to lie, You're getting better all the time," which highlights the importance of deception and how it can be honed and perfected over time. The song then discusses the idea of turning others against someone, which is referred to as an "art that's hard to teach." The lyrics suggest that manipulation is a talent that not everyone possesses.
The chorus of the song takes on a more aggressive tone, with the repeated phrase "Now dance, fucker, dance" serving as a command. The verses continue with the theme of manipulation and deception, with the line "And if you can't get what you want, well it's all because of me" painting a picture of the singer who has successfully manipulated those around him into getting their way.
The song's lyrics paint a somewhat sinister picture of those who possess the skills of manipulation and deception, showing that they can have a great deal of power over others. The chorus of the song is particularly catchy, with the memorable phrase "Now dance, fucker, dance" becoming a popular catchphrase.

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

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
