The Offspring - The Meaning of Life

On the way
Trying to get where I'd like to stay
I'm always feeling steered away
By someone trying to tell me
What to say and do.
I don't want it.
I gotta go find my own way.
I gotta go make my own mistakes.
Sorry man for feeling,
Feeling the way I do.

(chorus)
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Open wide and they'll shove in
Their meaning of life.
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But not for me. I'll do it on my own.
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life.
I can't make it work your way.
Thanks but no thanks.

By the way,
I know your path has been tried and so
It may seem like the way to go.
Me, I'd rather be found
Trying something new.
And the bottom line
In all of this seems to say
There's no right and no wrong way.
Sorry if I don't feel like
Living the way you do.

(chorus X2)
