The Offspring es una banda estadounidense de punk rock que ha dejado una marca imborrable en la escena musical desde su formación en Garden Grove, California, en 1984. Los miembros fundadores, Dexter Holland (vocalista y guitarrista) y Greg K. (bajista), formaron el grupo inicialmente bajo el nombre de Manic Subsidal antes de adoptar el nombre que les llevaría a la fama.
En sus primeros años, la alineación de la banda experimentó varios cambios, pero la llegada del guitarrista Noodles (Kevin Wasserman) y el baterista Ron Welty en 1987 consolidó el núcleo clásico de la banda. Entre 1989 y 1991, The Offspring lanzó sus primeras grabaciones independientes, incluyendo su álbum debut homónimo, que brindó un destello de lo que estaba por venir.

Kick him when he's down
Hey, you're a riddle I say as I move aside
Like I really need your advice
But you won't leave it alone
Little men try but don't get a lot done
Living in sin don't move me either way
I get a feeling you're so vague
Like I said before
LIttle men come when anything goes
When the rain comes I sit home and pray
Make it all numb I wish it all away
All I really need is just somewhere to hide away
(Kick him when he's down)
Here alone I'll put up and fight
(Kick him when he's down)
Beat me all the way I'll take it all night
(Kick him when he's down)
Hey, don't worry, I'll get along home alright
Hey, everybody's supposed to be the same
So how come they're so lame?
It's like taking a fall
Keep on running back into that wall
Awake in a dream, get up and go to work
But I'm feeling like such a jerk
Like I said before
Little men come when everything goes
When the rain comes I sit home and pray
Make it all numb I wish it all away
All I really need is just somewhere to hide away
(Kick him when he's down)
Here alone I'll put up and fight
(Kick him when he's down)
Beat me all the way I'll take it all night
(Kick him when he's down)
Hey, don't worry, I'll get along home alright
so right
