Lyrics for The Decline by Nofx:
| | | Artist: | Nofx |
| | Album: | The Decline EP | | Track: | The Decline | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 117 | | | | Lyrics: | Where are all these stupid people from
and how did they get to be so dumb
Bred on purple
mountain range
Feed amber waves of grains
To lesser human beings, zero
feelings
Blame it on human nature, man's destiny
Blame it on the
greediocracy
The fear of God, the fear of change, the fear of truth
Add the Bill of
Rights, subtract the wrongs,
There's no answers
Memorize and sing Star spangled
songs,
When the questions
Aren't ever asked is anybody learning from the past
We're
living in united stagnation
Father what have I done.
I took that 22. A gift for me
from you
to bed with me each night.
Kept it clean polished it well.
Cherished every
cartridge every shell
Down by the creek under brush under dirt
There's a carcass of
my second kill
Down at the park under stone under pine
There's a carcass of my brother
William
Brother where have you gone to I swear
I never thought I could I see so many
times
They told me to shoot straight, don't pull the trigger squeeze,
that will insure a
kill, a kill is what you want
To kill is why we breed
The Christians love their guns
the church and NRA
Pray for their salvation prey on lower faiths
The story book's
been read and every line believed
The curriculum's been set logic is a threat
Reason
searched + seized
Jerry spent some Time in Michigan
A 20 year vacation After all he
had a dime
A dime is worth a Lot more in Detroit
A dime in California Just a 20 dollar
fine
Jerry only stayed A couple months
It's hard to enjoy Yourself while bleeding
out the ass Asphyxiation is simple and fast
It beats 17 fun years of being someone's
bitch
Don't think Drink your wine Watch the fire burn
His problems not mine just be
that model citizen
I wish I had a schilling for every senseless killing
I'd buy a
government. America's for sale and
You can get a good deal on it and make a healthy
profit,
Or maybe tear it apart. You start with assumption,
That a million people are
smart, smarter than one.
Serotonin's gone, she gave up, drifted away
Sara
fled though process gone
She left her answering machine on
The greeting left spoken
sincere
Messages no one will ever hear
10,000 messages a day a million more
transmissions lay
Dead victims of the laissez faire
10,000 voices, 100 guns, 100 decibels
turns to one,
One bullet, one empty head
Now with serotonin gone
The man that
used to speak Performs a cute routine.
Feel a little patronized. Don't feel bad. They
found
A way inside your head And you feel a bit misled.
It's not that they don't
Care.
The television's put a thought inside your Head
Like a Barry Manilow
Jingle I'd
like to teach the World to sing in perfect
Harmony a symphonic blank Stare.
It doesn't
make you care.
Not designed to make you care.
They're betting you wont
care.
They'll place a wager on your greed, a wager on your pride
Why try to beat
them when a million others tried.
We are the whore. Intellectually spayed.
We are
the queer. Dysfunctionally raised.
One more pill to kill the pain, (3x)
Living
through conformity
One more prayer should keep me safe.
One more prayer to keep us safe
(2x)
There's gonna be a better place
Lost the battle lost the war
Lost the
things worth living for
Lost the will to win the fight.
One more pill to kill the
pain.
The going gets tough the tough get debt
Don't pay attention pay the
rent
our next of kins pay for your sins
A little faith should keep us safe
Save
us
The human existence is failing resistance
Essential. The future written off. The
odds are
Astronomically against us only moron and genius
Would fight a losing battle
against the super ego.
When giving in is so damn comforting
And so we go on with our
lives
We know the truth but prefer lies
Lies are simple. Simple is bliss.
Why go
against tradition when we can
Admit defeat. Live in decline.
Be there victim of our own
design
With status quo built on suspect.
Why would anyone stick out their neck
Fellow
members of club. We've got ours.
I'd like to introduce you to our host.
He's got his
and I've got mine.
Meet The Decline.
