"Bad Habit" is the third track from the critically acclaimed 1994 album Smash by The Offspring.
The song's lyrics are about a man who experiences road rage from other bad drivers and thinks about shooting them. (Lyric sample: "Hey man, you know, I'm really okay/The gun in my hand will tell you the same/But when I'm in my car, don't give me no crap/'cause the slightest thing, and I just might snap")
It is told from first person point of view, causing some controversy; but The Offspring lead singer Dexter Holland has repeatedly stated that the lyrics should not be taken seriously, going so far as to reference it on the joke intro track on the band's next album, Ixnay on the Hombre.
On almost every single occasion, Bad Habit is always the first song to be played at an Offspring concert.
