    __________________________
   / Offspring               / I think this really serious song is about this low class-American
  / The Kids Aren't Alright /  who looks back at his childhood in the American ghetto, and realizes
 / Americana               /   that he and his friends never really had a chance to move upwards
/_________________________/    through the American social classes. Quite thought-provoking.
