Hammerhead - The Offspring

[JTG of the PRB]

The first single off their new album, "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace." They've been playing this one a lot on my favorite local station, and it's really grown on me over the last few days. It's got a pretty kick-ass sound, and some pretty intense lyrics too. Give a listen, if you want!

I am the one,
Camouflage and guns.
Risk my life
To keep my people from harm.

Authority,
Vested in me,
I sacrifice
With my brothers in arms.

Through this doorway,
What's on the other side?
Never knowing
Exactly what I'll find.
Locked and loaded,
Voices screaming
Let's go!
Come on do it!!!
Here we go!

I'll take a life
That others may live!
Oh that's just the way it goes!
I shut my eyes
It hammers in my head.
Where it'll ends nobody knows.

I'll take a life
That ten others may live.
Oh that's just the way it goes!
It's playing over and over in my head!
Where it'll end,
Nobody knows

Stay the course,
Reasonable force.
I believe I serve a greater good!

Smoke and dust,
Enemies are crushed.
Nothing left
Where a man once stood.

Through this doorway,
What's on the other side?
Never knowing
Exactly what I'll find.
Locked and loaded,
Voices screaming
Let's go!
But I'm just doing what I'm told!

I'll take a life,
That others may live.
Oh that's just the way it goes!
I'll shut my eyes,
It hammers in my head.
Where it'll end,
Nobody knows.

I'll take this life,
Ten others may live.
Oh that's just the way it goes!
It's playing over and over in my head!
Where it begins,
And where it'll end,
Nobody knows!

Bang bang, it hammers in my head.
Bang bang, it hammers in my head.
Bang bang, it hammers in my head.
In my head,
In my head.

Yea, though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
For Thou art with me.
Locked and loaded,
Gonna find my truth.
Now, I'm busting through
And hell breaks loose.

And you can all hide behind your desks now!
And you can cry "teacher come help me!"
Through you all,
My aim is true !

My aim is true!

My aim is true.

2. i heard it a few days ago

it definitely sounds a lot like a throwback to their early days. i haven't really listened to or liked their stuff since ixnay, but this song is decent enough
