It wasn't until I looked up the lyrics that I found out Offspring's Come Out and Play was about schoolyard violence...
"Kids are stopping (strapping) on the way to the classroom, getting lessons (weapons) with the greatest of ease"
"One goes to the mall (morgue) and the other to jail"
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- My mom said she had eyes in the back of her head. I looked and looked, but never found them.Anon
- I thought god looked like the face on the play-doh can!— Jonathan Franz
- I believed one of the greatest dangers you could face was quick sand. I was scared to death of it.Anon
- Actual lyrics: "I've never been your beast of burden"
My lyrics: "I've never been your big suburban"
— Big Suburban - I used to think that if you ate cat food you would die. I found out it wasn't true
— Bob#4 - THat Cheesecake was actually made of cheese. I was 18 when I found out it wasn't!— R
