Army of One Lyrics

[Chorus]
And the world keeps on turning
As we all come undone
While the lost keep on searching
I'm the army of one

[Verse 1]
We are one, but I don't belong
It's hard to feel love when you've been wronged
But I keep on pushing on toward that light
The daylight's gone and I am night
Feel that blow with a stinging pain
It's always your eyes that give it away
If I'm staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
Then I'll spit in your eye 'cause I'm the army of one

[Chorus]
And the world keeps on turning
As we all come undone
While the lost keep on searching
I'm the army of one

[Verse 2]
We are one with blood and rage
It's hard to feel hope when you're filled with pain
But we keep on running on through the night
Resisting despair with all our might
Carry on, even when you cannot cope
Survival is digging in against all hope
For me, I'll never give up 'til the day I'm done
'Cause I'm burning alive, I'm the army of one
[Chorus]
And the world keeps on turning
And we all die alone
Broken hearts keep on searching
I'm the army of one

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, woah)

[Chorus]
And the world keeps on turning
As we all come undone
While the lost keep on searching
I'm the army of one

[Outro]
I'm the army of one
I'm the army of one

What did The Offspring say about "Army of One"?
Genius Answer

This is a superhero song, right? ‘The world sucks and everything’s stacked against me, but I’m going to put my head down and run as fast as I can, up through the wall, and try to get through it.’ Dig in when you know things are tough and try to have the self-resilience and confidence in yourself to make it through.
