Show me how to lie
You're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line
A mob jumps to their feet
Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
So play it out I'm wide awake
It's a scene about me
There's something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want
Well it's all because of me [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/o/offspring/youre_gonna_go_far_kid.html ]
Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you'll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
Trust, deceived!
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Now dance, fucker, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
So dance, fucker, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Clever alibis
Lord of the flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
The meaning of the song!!! This song was obviously inspired by the book "lord of the flies" , i noticed it because my band covers the song and i have to read the book for school... Then
i noticed the verse "clever alabies, lord of the flies" and boom i made the connectipn
the storys about a bunch of kids on an island
any way... Dance fucker dance man he never had a chance
(they do a dance on the island and kill one of the boys)
and no one even knew it was really only you
(they killed the 'beast' but it was really thier friend)
steal the way take him out today
(jack steals power and kills simon)
nice work you did, your gonna go far kid
(the childrens power postions will carry them far) "kid"
with a thousand lies and a good disgise
(the savages where paint to free themselfs from rules)
hit em right between the eyes
(hunting the pigs and eventually other kids)
when you walk away nothing more to say
(jack leaves to form his own tribe)
see the lightning in ytour eyes... Ect
(they went crazy in the storm)
Anyone that reads this book will know what im talking about and you can visit my band page myspace. Com / strapadobluff
to talk if u disagree
This song kicks ass and so does the book so that was a cool connection yeah

I think what this song talks about a kid who is amazing at decieving and lying to people and is always able to get away with whatever he's done without being caught by anyone. So the singer is techncially saying that this kid, is gonna go far with al his lies . . . Damn i wish i was a little like that!

I love this song. It has a good beat, the lyrics can be related to and the offspring are just an amazing band overall.

"lord of the flies" is another name for the devil. It's where the author of the book got the name. I rather think it might be a reference to that, rather than the book.

Never read the book but know i might lol awesome song though jrlc out peace
I agree with the whole its from the book thing. The song also sounds like someone teaching someone else how 2 be a rebel. I know it sounds crap but yeh.
