Текст (слова) песни: NOFX - The Decline

 
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 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
