“Stuff Is Messed Up” by The Offspring

"Stuff Is Messed Up" is a deep cut from Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, the Offspring's eighth album, which Columbia put out on June 11, 2008; it wasn't among the record's four singles. Dexter Holland wrote the music and the words, and Bob Rock produced, engineered and mixed it, with Eric Helmkamp also engineering.

The album was a long haul. It ended a five-year wait for new Offspring material after 2003's Splinter, the longest stretch between their studio albums up to then. The band had been chipping away at songs since the fall of 2004, went quiet, then announced in November 2006 that they were recording with Rock; all told, the writing and recording ran four years across three studios before wrapping in April 2008.
