NOFX

NOFX (/ˌnɵɛfˈɛks/) is an American punk rock band from Los Angeles, California (later relocating to San Francisco). The band was formed in 1983 by vocalist/bassist Fat Mike and guitarist Eric Melvin. Drummer Erik Sandin joined NOFX shortly after. In 1991, El Hefe joined to play lead guitar and trumpet, rounding out the current line-up. The band rose to popularity with their fifth studio album Punk in Drublic (1994), which was certified gold in both the United States and Canada, and is now considered a classic punk album by fans and critics alike. Their seventh studio album So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes (1997) was also certified gold in Canada.

Intellectual property never meant anything to me
So I'm not crazy
For trying to pimp out a classic song
At twenty-five years old, it's the humane thing to do
Even though you know we know you think it's wrong
But after 700 covers and 1800 shows
And because it's the song that Colombians love to hum
We voted to pull the plug and euthanize
Linoleum

I think I was born into this world
To piss people off
So I'm doing what a smart band never would
I'm taking our one well known song
And trying to make it
Not very good

Linoleum never meant anything to me
I never even wrote a chorus, just verses and a bridge
It's like bulldozing a bowling alley for a used record store
Decomposing your best song is sacrilege
But when most hopeless bands play it wrong
And it's in Le Tigre's best song
And it was the last song that Tony ever played
It's time to put Linoleum out to stud
And make sure that it gets laid

That's me and I got a new kitchen floor
But I still sleep with a close friend
The leather trunk next to my bed

That's me on the street and I'm walking with my kid
When she told me she knows everything I did
Because she just finished our book (dad?)

What the f*ck?
What the hell?
Why did she feel the need to tell me
That she knows her dad is more than kinda weird
She knows that I do drugs
She knows that I'm kinky
But what keeps me up at night
Is that her and her friends know that I drink pee

Not that there's anything wrong with that
