- The Offspring: Not The One
-
- I'm not the one who made the world what it is today
- I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago
- But now I deal with all the consequences that troubles our times
- I carry on and never once have even questioned why
-
- I'm innocent
- But the wieght of the world is on my shoulders
- I'm innocent
- But the battles started are far from over
-
- We're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night
- We're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down
- Still we grow and then the problems they become our own
- We carr on without even realizing why
-
- CHORUS
- We're innocent
- But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
- We're innocent
- But the battles left us are far from over
-
- We're not the ones whose pollution balcked our skies
- And ruined the streams
- We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs
- That threaten our lives
- We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
- We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night
-
- And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed
- And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
- Still our descendents will inherit our mistakes of today
- They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why
-
