The Decline - Nofx



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.
