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
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
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 someone's 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
Like 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 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
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

I am from France, I bought this masterpiece at a local record store when I was 15... I am 40 years old now... aaargh... I saw NOFX 4 times... until they announced that they planed to play their final tour. On the tour dates, only one gig in France in the city of Chambery... just 30 minutes from home. That was a few days ago, in a room with 6500 NOFX fans from the whole country and abroad. Last song: they played The Decline. I got goosbumbs when they started to play the intro... 25 years later I was looking at this punkrock masterpiece playing live... a priceless moment in my life with a huge singalong communion with fans at the end. For sure I will remember this moment of the french final show. Thank you NOFX, so long and thanks for everything

I saw NOFX play all of Punk in Drublic at riot fest a few years back. After they finished, they said “Ok, the festival said we have time for one more song!” And started playing the Decline for about 15 minutes until they literally just shut the sound off. One of the countless reasons I fucking love this band.

we did that for years every weekend at the local caffe bar here in Croatia, and every time the owner lady said "one more song", we put Decline on, turn off the monitor with a screensaver password left on and the pogo begins. when she said that, she grabbed the heavy tray and waited for the song to finish. crazy pogos were held there, but with every glass and bottle of the caffe left intact. you wreck shit, you get out and you're happy if you don't get the tray over your back. we were all afraid of her as she is our own mother now, thinking of it, I realize that all of us were young enough and didn't realize that she knew how long this song was. but what was really important is that she enjoyed watching us being happy. and that was the whole point. dear Sylvia, thank you for giving us the place where we can create our own story for years, in a town where that kind of stuff was kinda imaginable at the beginning of the 2000s in a small town like ours here in Croatia. we understand that now. all of us will be the 'parents in need' for your children in their best years. our parents could sleep well and not even worry about us when they knew we're at your place. we'll do the same for you and your kids now.

I have had the same experience, every time I’ve seen this live he’s flubbs it royally usually right before the “Saratonin’s gone….” breakdown, if anything it’s incredible he plays all those bass lines and sings at the same time…..! The line he plays moments before they rip into “place a wager on your freedom, wager on your pride…” is incredibly difficult on its own aside from after 4 measures he sings over it, quite passionately might I sneak in there……With me always since a tender 14 years old, many moons ago.
