The Decline Lyrics - Nofx

Where are all the stupid people from? 

And how'd 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, mans destiny (mans destiny) 

Blame it on the greediocracy (greediocracy) 

Fear of god 

The fear of change 

The fear of truth

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Refresh Your Christmas Playlist With These 10 Modern Holiday Tracks 

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 to me from you 

To bed with me each night 

Kept it clean 

Polished it well 

Cherished every cartridge, every shell 

Photos 

Down, by the creek, under brush, under dirt 

There's a carcass of my second kill 

Down, by 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 

A kill is why we breed 

The christians love their guns 

The church and nra 

Pray for their salvations 

Prey on the lower faiths 

The story book's been read 

And every line believed 

Curriculum's been set 

Logic is a threat 

Reason searched and seized 

Jerry spent some time in michigan 

A twenty year vacation, after all he had a dime 

A dime is worth a lot more in detroit 

A dime in california, a twenty 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 seventeen fun years of being someones bitch 

Don't think (stay) 

Drink your wine (home) 

Watch the fire burn (be) 

His problems not mine (safe) 

Just be that model citizen 

I wish I had a schilling 

(for each senseless killing) 

For every senseless killing 

I'd buy a government 

America's for sale 

And you can get a good deal on it 

(a good deal on it) 

And make a healthy profit 

Or maybe, tear it apart 

Start with assumption 

That a million people are smart 

Smarter than one 

Serotonin's gone 

She gave up, drifted away 

Sara fled, thought process gone 

She left her answering machine on 

The greeting left spoken sincere 

Messages no one will ever hear 

Ten thousand messages a day 

A million more transmissions lay 

Victims of the laissez faire 

Ten thousand voices, a hundred guns 

A hundred decibels turns to one 

One bullet, one empty head 

Now with serotonin gone 

The man who 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, yeah 

The television's put a thought inside your head 

Llike a barry manilow, jingle 

I'd like, to teach the world to sing 

In perfect harmony 

A symphonic blank stare, yeah 

It doesn't make you care (make you care) 

Not designed to make you care (make you care) 

They're betting you won't care (you won't) 

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 

One more pill to kill the pain 

One more pill to kill the pain 

Living through conformity 

One more prayer to keep me safe 

One more prayer to keep us warm 

One more prayer to keep us safe 

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 

Na na na na na 

La na na na na 

Na na na na na 

Na na na na na 

The going get tough, the tough get debt 

Don't pay attention, pay the rent 

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 the victim of our own design 

The status quo, built on suspect 

Why would anyone stick out their neck? 

Fellow members 

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 

We are the queer 

We are the whore 

Ammunition 

In the class war 

We are worker 

We love our queen 

We sacrifice 

We're soilent green 

We are the queer 

We are the whore 

Ammunition 

In the class war
