When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did,
Was for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost sacrifice,
Before more damage could be done I took his life.
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin,
Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the poison,
They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer,
I heard a thousand people screaming, while three billion others cheered,
He was gone, and I would soon be...
Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain,
I was not criminally insane, in fact I was found to be,
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society,
A minor threat except for that one man I killed.
As the sedatives take effect, I just smile and close my eyes,
There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I realize,
I was going straight to hell, and he thought that I should know,
That the man I killed's replacement planned this whole scenario,
And what I did had no significance at all.

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.
