Elders - The Offspring

When we were younger

There always seemed like some

Some perfect mold that we’re supposed to be

But now we’re growing up and

I see it’s just not that way

Now I feel like someone’s lied to me

'Cause I’ve been true and made good for you

And I feel used

I’m asking you

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel to be like you?

Tell me now elders

What were your reasons for

Makin' it seem like you were so much more?

If you want to feel good, man

You’ve got accomplishments

Why the fuck don’t you just do it yourself?

Man I’ve tried

Man I’ve tried while you just lied

So now just tell me

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel to be like you?

'Cause I’ve been true, made good for you

And I feel used

I’m asking you

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel to be like you?

Look at all the families now who

Don’t talk and don’t trust because of the way

The things have been done

When will you finally learn to leave out the bullshit

And just be straight with us
