Mattersville


There's a place
some of us choose to live
Gated community cops cant come in
A neighborhood for punks over the hill
We spend our golden years in Mattersville
We can do whatever we want, whenever we please
There's always a keg of beer and a block of cheese
We got caroms*, pinball, Asteroids
Space Invaders and Missile Command
We will grow old, together
We will play Bridge and Texas Hold 'Em
Dwayne and steve and kev they still skateboard
But most of us lawn-bowl and shuffleboard
We may be getting ripe, but we ain't bored
We got a blackboard with some rules and laws
Hefe's got an 18-car garage
Most of the cars are smashed and so is Spike
Twice a week on karaoke night
Eric Melvin lives next door to me
Limo and the Locknecks head security
At the end of my cul-de-sac
Davey Havok's house is painted black
We will grow old and fatter
We got our ville so what else matters
Trashy, mod and kev they're stayin' up
Nathan, Matt, and Dan are passin' out
California cracks we're goin' down
doo doo, doo doo, do do do doo, doo doo
da da daa, daa daa, da da da daa, da da da

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics MATTERSVILLE of NOFX is also present in the album War on errorism (2003)
