Franco un-american


I never thought
about the universe, it made me feel small
Never thought about the problems of this planet at all
Global warming, radio-active sites
Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! No!
Why think of all the bad things when life is so good?
Why help with an 'am' when there's always a 'could'?
Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea
Outside of California, it's foreign policy
I don't want changes, I have no reactions
Your dilemmas are my distractions
That's no way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco, Franco Un-American
I never looked around, never second-guessed
Then I read some Howard Zinn now I'm always depressed
And now I can't sleep from years of apathy
All because I read a little Noam Chomsky
I'm eating vegetation, 'cause of fast food nation
I'm wearing a couple of shoes 'cause of globalization
I'm watching Michael Moore expose the awful truth
I'm listening to Public Enemy and Reagan Youth
I see no world peace 'cause of zealous armed forces
I eat no breath-mints 'cause their from de-hoofed horses
Now I can't believe; what an absolute failure
The president's laughing 'cause we voted for Nader
That's no way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
Where can we go, Franco Un-American
I want to move north and be a Canadian
Or hang down low with the nice Australians
I don't want to be another 'I-don't-care-ican'
What are we gonna do Franco, Franco Un-American

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

NOFX è una band punk rock statunitense formatasi a Los Angeles, in California, nel 1983. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti del genere, NOFX ha pubblicato oltre dieci album in studio, vendendo milioni di copie in tutto il mondo. Il loro sound è caratterizzato da un mix di melodie orecchiabili e testi ironici e satirici che affrontano temi come la politica, la società e la vita quotidiana. Tra i brani più famosi ci sono "Linoleum", "Don't Call Me White", "The Decline" e "Stickin' in My Eye". Il gruppo ha collaborato con artisti come Pennywise e Rancid, contribuendo a definire l'estetica e la cultura del punk rock negli anni '90. Dopo oltre quarant'anni di attività, NOFX si è sciolto nel 2024 con un ultimo concerto di commiato.
