"Disclaimer", sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh The Offspring, mempersembahkan sebuah pernyataan yang menggugah pikiran tentang sensor dan pertanggungjawaban pribadi. Lagu ini mempertanyakan peran otoritas dalam mengendalikan ekspresi artistik, menyoroti kecenderungan masyarakat untuk melarikan diri dari kenyataan yang tidak nyaman dengan mencari perlindungan dalam pernyataan "tidak untuk semua orang". Melalui liriknya yang tajam dan penuh sarkasme, lagu ini mendorong pendengar untuk mempertanyakan norma-norma yang sudah dianut dan merangkul perspektif yang lebih luas tentang sifat kebebasan berbicara.
Disclaimer Lyrics
The Offspring
ladies and gentlemen
welcome to the disclaimer
that's right the disclaimer
this american apple pie institution
known as parental discretion
will cleanse any sense of innuendo or sarcasm
from the lyrics that might actually make you think
and will also insult your intelligence at the same time
so protect your family
this album contains explicit depictions
of things which are real
these real things are commonly known as life
so if it sounds sarcastic don't take it seriously
if it sounds dangerous
do not try this at home or at all
and if it offends you just don't listen to it
