Lyrics: Offspring, The. Way Down The Line.

Nothing changes cause it's all the same,

The world you get, is the one you give away.

It all just happens again,

Way down the line...



There is a chain that's never broken.

You know the story, it's sad but true.

An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids,

The same old way his drunken father did,

What comes around, well it goes around.



(Chorus)

Nothing changes cause it's all the same,

The world you get, is the one you give away.

It all just happens again,

way down the line!



At 17, Shannon is pregnant.

Young as her mom when she had her.

The kid is never gonna have a dad,

The same old way that Shannon never had,

What comes around, well it goes around!



(Chorus)

Nothing changes cause it's all the same,

The world you get, is the one you give away.

It all just happens again,

way down the line!



And all the things you learn when your kid,

You'll fuck up just like your parents did.

It all just happens again,

Way down the line!



And welfare mom's have kids on welfare.

Fat parents they have fat kids too.

You know it's never gonna end,

The same old cycle's gonna start again,

What comes around, well it goes around!



(Chorus)

Nothing changes cause it's all the same,

The world you get, is the one you give away.

It all just happens again,

way down the line!



And all the things you learn when your kid,

You'll fuck up just like your parents did.

It all just happens again,

Way down the line!
