THE OFFSPRING - STARING AT THE SUN
ALBUM: AMERICANA (1998)
Intro:
 
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway, 
Dodgin' bullets while you're tryin' to find your way; 
Everyone's around but no one does a damn thing -
It brings me down, but I won't let 'em
If I seem bleak, well you'd be correct,
And if I don't speak, it's 'cos I can't disconnect,
But I won't be, burn-ed by the reflection
of the fire in your eyes
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
as you're staring at the sun.  
As you're staring at the sun.
FASTER (repeat x2)
When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway, 
When I escaped I didn't feel like I'd got away; 
There's more to living than only surviving -
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still tryin'
Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate:
My will is something, that you can't confiscate,
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
by the fire in your eyes
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah...  
Dm N.C. C
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway,
Dm N.C. C C A
Dodgin' bullets while you're tryin' to find your way;
Dm N.C. C C
Everyone's around but no-one does a damn thing -
It brings me down, but I won't let 'em
If I seem bleak, well you'd be correct,
And if I don't speak, it's 'cos I can't disconnect,
But I won't be, burn-ed by the reflection
of the fire in your eyes
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
as you're staring at the sun.  
As you're staring at the sun!
