NOFX have teamed up with Olga & Vira “MadTwins” Ishchuk to give you a new animated video for their epic song “The Big Drag”, coming off their latest full-length, ‘Single Album’ available via Fat Wreck Chords label. Watch above. It will make you appreciate the track more, believe me.
Lyrics:
Before James (Jimmy Dread) died he smiled and laughed
Cuz he was just photographed for the last time
While it was drowned the kitten purred
At least thatโs what I thought I heard
But maybe thatโs cuz I need to believe in the absurd
Ashes to ashes after the planet crashes I trust all dust will turn to dust
I used to think a wasted life was not a crime โKevin Secondsโ
Thatโs before I realized we donโt have very much more time
Whose God was it that finally damned us
Or was it all foreseen by Nostradamus
My melodies are maladies my poetries are just phonetic
Trying to make sense of this world is preposterous pathetic
The Gods have had their fun playing this world but now itโs too upsetting
The human race is not worth watching or wagering on
Weโre just a longshot, an underdog with odds so bad now itโs just a blood letting
So, every deitywith dignity has just stopped betting
It used to be a blood sport, now that the most popular Godโs son is finally setting
So,follow me into a world of anything youโve ever dreamed
Now that morality is blurred if you listen really closely
You probably believe in every single word
The only thing we can count on is an eternity of this absurdity
Mesmerizedby rhetorical and memorized historical events
That never actually occurred
Because a herd needs to believe every command and every word they ever heard
Weโrenot blind were bound and blinded our minds have been land minded
And Iโm so excited!Remember when colors made a rainbow from a prism
Now black and white thinking makes reignbows into prisons
Every single person on this planet thinks they are right
The new black and white reignbows
Cuz if you thought that you were wrong
Youโd change your mind fuckfrom black to white
I do believe in True Romance
So,Iโm gonna dance and fight and fuck with every moment
Iโll always have something in my glass to raise
To make a toast for those making the most of the last days
But there is no black and white thereโs only different SHADES of gray
Thatโs why itโs insane to believe in anything or live a certain way
Nothing is ever gonna change, nothing will ever be ok
Nothing is ever gonna change, nothing will ever be ok
Thereโs only a finite number of tomorrows
And itโs not a lot but itโs all we really got itโs all we really got Live each precious moment that we can manage to carve out of each day
So,when itโs time for us to die weโll say our short goodbye
There is no sadness if thereโs no one left to cry
