NOFX - The Longest Line (1992) EP

Ubedljivo najjači EP NOFX-a, i to iz one rane, najkvalitetnije faze 90-ih. Na EP-u se nalazi i sigurno jedna od najznačajnijih pesmica ovog benda, The Death of John Smith, koja je jedna od retkih njihovih numera sa skroz ozbiljnom lirikom, uostalom, procenite sami, dakle mnogo jak tekst koji je pokazao da NOFX nisu isključivo zajebantsko-prozivački bend, već da umeju da se pozabave i socijalnim temama. Takođe, tu je i naslovna numera koja je himna za sebe. Enjoy!

I've got respect from the community

I've got my bridge game to look forward to

I've got this chance, a golden opportunity

As long as I keep doing what I'm supposed to

You see my wife and kids, they depend on me

To provide them with nothing but the best

I feel it's my duty, my obligation

To live up to the standards society suggusts

So I'll keep on working for their benefit

And I'll keep on drinking

I'll keep on believing, keep on believing in my life

Another day of slaving and smiling, buying and trading

Living the life of a wealthy man

But somehow I don't feel so rich inside

But that doesn't make sense

I just had this little vacation

As soon as I get this operation

Taken care of, I'll start enjoying

The good things in life

So I'll keep on working for the benefits

And I'll keep on drinking

I'll keep believing in my life

When the pity spins your mind

Darkness fills your heart

And I won't be around

When you're feeling all alone

Then you'll know it's time

To go into the ground

When the pity spins your mind

Darkness fills your heart

And I won't be around

I've got my family, friends, and associates

To stand by me as the threshold comes near

Within their faces I see grave concern

As I ask myself if their thoughts are sincere

After all these years of being complacent

What do I get? Tenderness, affection, a true sense of love?

No! Just a pain through a body chalk full of regret

I'll keep on believing my life still has value

And I'll keep on laughing

Why can't I stop laughing?

I can't stop the laughing...
