Letra:
Where are all the 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,
Fear of truth.
Add the bill of rights subtract the wrongs
Memorize and sing star spangled songs
There's no answers when the questions aren't ever asked is anybody learning from the past,
Were 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 the carcass of my brother william.
Brother where have you gone to I swear
I never thought I could 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 salvation,
Prey on the 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...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 1
Serotonins 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,
10, 000 messages a day
A million more transmissions lay
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 about what they found a way inside your head.
And you feel a bit misled.
It's not that they don't care.
The televisions 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 won't 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 whores
Intellectually sprayed
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 should keep us 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
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 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,
We got decline
Where are all the 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,

Man's destiny

Acabaron con The Decline su último (se retiran después de 40 años) concierto en Madrid. Se me caían las lágrimas. 😭
#4 Qué conciertazo!
#4 Core memories.
Punk in Drublic lo tengo quemao de escucharlo porque fue mi primer acercamiento a NOFX.
The Decline lo tengo quemado simplemente porque es una obra maestra del punk rock.
#6 White Trash... y Punk in Drublic, dos obras maestras.
Pero tengo entendido que son (¡eran!) una mierda en directo.
#7 Y tienen hasta un disco sobre ello
#7 #8
Yo también te respondo, los he visto 3 veces, creo, la primera no me acuerdo, las dos últimas en Vitoria, hace 4 años aprox en un plazo de 6 meses, y fue una mierda asi de grande! Con muchas tertulias y bromas internas entre canciones, insufrible y aburrido, sin poder disfrutar porque cada tres canciones se ponían hablar entre ellos cortando todo subidón.
Eso sí, si te metían the decline, o stickin in my eye empalmada con linóleum, y no se que mas pués...
#8 pues yo los he visto 3 o 4 veces y ninguna de ellas ha destacado, y si que hay un par de esas veces muy malas , con fat Mike borracho desvariando y cantando y tocando fatal
a mi me han decepcionado bastante en directo , sobre todo porque los discos son buenísimos y muy potentes
igual he tenido mala suerte ...
bad religión o pennywise por ejemplo es al revés, en directo ganan mucho
#18 Les he visto varias veces en directo (por no decir que fue el primer concierto al que fui allá por el año 98), y lo que es cierto es que el declive de la década de 2010 (la época más fuerte de drogas y alcohol de Fat Mike) es tremendo, pero los directos de la gira de despedida han sido aluciananes (ellos mismos dicen que han tocado con cascos casi por primera vez)
Bad Religion no fallán igual que DKM
Pennywise han evolucionados a unos yayos que dicen mucho fuck you, hacen versiones y luego tocan 20 minutos de sus mejores canciones
#7 son bastante buenos solo que fat mike lleva a ser un poco brasas. En 2019 los vi en Vitoria y me dio un siroco el ver que seguían tan bien como cuando tenía 17 años yo…lo disfruté un montón.
#6 punk in drublic es magistral y ahí ya dejé de escucharlos aunque si que los he visto siempre que he podido (la última vez en 2019 en Vitoria junto con bad religion, otro de mis grupos favoritos), yo los empecé a escuchar con el white trash, y de ahí pasé al S&m airlines, ribbed…todos diferentes pero geniales como discos enteros…

#1 Hola
#1 el ultimo verso es, si no recuerdo mal "Meet the decline"
Y Mike pone guinda a la cancion que acaba con una brutal multiorquesta donde se cierra el circulo y las letras acaban por mandar el.mensaje final, con Eric Melvin y su grito:
"We are the queer
We are the whore
Ammunition
In this class war"
Brutal
Pedazo de línea de bajo para empezar el tema. Fat Mike es uno de los bajistas menos reconocidos de la historia.
Pedazo concierto hace 25 años, que ni me acuerdo donde fue. Mi pies no se movían del sitio pero el resto del cuerpo iba de un lado a otro
NoFX es posiblemente la mejor banda de punk rock de la historia y este trabajo es una sacada de chorra de Fat Mike, autentico temazo y posiblemente la cuspide del grupo. Me ha hecho muchisima ilusion verlo en portada en meneame, aqui un fan acerrimo que tiene casi toda su discografia y a mis 15 años me sabia todas sus canciones y aprendia a tocar la guitarra por ellos. Nostalgia.
Esta cancion merece ser escuchada y degustada como una increble pieza artística, que es lo que es.
La mejor canción de punk de la historia (al menos para mi), no por pionera ni ser influencia de nada sino por ser una obra cumbre en el estilo. Tengo el CD original comprado el mismo día que llegó a España y la he escuchado un par de veces en directo. No puede dejar indiferente a nadie.
Y muchos quizá no conozcan las versiones de Baz
a punk rock symphony-
- The Decline Live at Red Rocks w/ Baz's Orchestra
#21 Eso iba a decir la versión en directo con Baz es alucinante
Vistos varias veces en vivo y siempre rinden pero si el público no es bueno ellos bajan el pistón.
Una pena que se retiren pero han sido 41 años de música y aunque musicalmente no avanzaran mucho de disco a disco este EP fué una joya. Sólo he visto esta canción en vvo entera 1 vez y es un temazo.
Sin esta canción Green Day en su vida hubiese co,puesto Jesus Of Suburbia y se huebiesen quedado reducidos a un one hit wonder sin American Idiot.
6 veces les he visto en directo; un directo horrible que tienen, pero tuve la suerte de escuchar esta canción en directo hace casi 20 años, la reconocí con el primer riff. Basta decir que es mi canción favorita.
El decline, para limpiarse los democos
Tardé muchos años en enterarme de que NOFX era una banda y no una marca de camisetas. Ojalá no lo hubiera descubierto nunca.
Gran grupo. De los mejores punkarras.
Yo descubrí NOFX escuchando un recopilatorio que se llamaba THE SURVIVAL OF THE FATTEST. The decline la poníamos con mis compis de piso cuando estábamos estudiando por la noche y empezábamos a tener la bajona antes de los exámenes. Era un subidón.
