OFFSPRING – Genocide (1994)

“Genocide” is a powerful and thought-provoking song by the American punk rock band The Offspring. The song tackles the dark topic of genocide and the devastating impact it has on humanity. With its aggressive sound and poignant lyrics, Genocide shines a light on the horrors of mass killings and begs us to reflect on the atrocities committed throughout history. “Genocide” is taken from The Offspring’s 1994 album Smash.

Our lives run different ways Through the rain I see you in the sun Our star shines anyway If you wish upon it we are one

One, two, three, four

Dog eat dog Every day On our fellow man we prey Dog eat dog To get by Hope you like my genocide

I find it such a shame Through the pain I see things as they are We’re served up on a plate The pedestal is high enough to fall And if in time We can see the errors of our ways Would anyone change it anyhow? Our time is up…

One, two, three, four

Dog eat dog Every day On our fellow man we prey Dog eat dog To get by Hope you like my genocide

Dog eat dog Every day On our fellow man we prey Dog eat dog To get by Hope you like my genocide

I bet you’d only run If you saw what goes inside our own I bet you’d lead the way If it were up to you to decide But it’s not

Dog eat dog Every day On our fellow man we prey Dog eat dog To get by Hope you like my genocide

Dog eat dog Every day On our fellow man we prey Dog eat dog To get by Hope you like my genocide

Like a silver flame Like a suicide Like killing boy One, two, three, four

Mmmmm… I especially enjoyed that one. Let’s see what’s next.
