Rumors have been swirling about a new album from The Offspring for nearly three years. The wait has come to an end with the release of the up-tempo ‘Let The Bad Times Roll’. Along with the release of the new single, the full album is set for an April 16 release.
The genre bending punk rockers formed in the mid-80s but it wasn’t until their 1994 breakthrough album Smash did they become a near house hold name. Recent years have seen the band sell off the rights to their music for a cool $30 million and the unfortunate departure of longtime bassist Greg K.
Dexter and Noodles will carry the band into their very respectable fifth decade of making music. They announced last year that the album was done and that they were looking for the right record label to release it to the public.
‘Let The Bad Times Roll’ is their first in nine years and is the follow up to 2012’s Days Go By. So turn this one up and let us know what you think.
‘Let The Bad Times Roll’ Song Lyrics:
We’re gonna hang ‘em high
We’re gonna shoot straight up in the air
This eye is for an eye
Don’t need to ask and don’t need to care
But don’t be thinking we’re crazy
When you see all the hell that we’re raising
Don’t be thinking we’re crazy
Cause the truth is what we’re erasing
And so I
I’m doing it all for you
I’m doing it all for you
Oh baby let the bad times roll
Machiavelli flow
Hey Lincoln, how does your grave roll?
Take what’s right and make it wrong
Make it up as I go along
Let me know when you decide
Apathy or suicide
Oh baby let the bad times roll
Now it was all a lie
But that bitch won’t get in my way
Keep shoutin’ what I like – lock her up lock her up
Now that’s a good one I gotta say
But don’t be thinking we’re crazy
When you see all the hell that we’re raising
Don’t be thinking we’re crazy
Cause the truth is what we’re erasing
And so I
I’m turning my back on you
I’m turning my back on you
Oh baby let the bad times roll
On a stripper pole
Ya fuck it let the bad times roll
Mexicans and blacks and Jews
Got it all figured out for you
Gonna build a wall let you decide
Apathy or suicide
Oh baby let the bad times roll
