Lyrics for Song: Eat The Meek
Lyrics for Album: So Long & Thanks For All The Shoes



Why must we stay where we don't belong (x2)

Because theres never gonna be enough space
so eat the meek, savour the taste.
Its always gonna be a delicacy
so lick your chops and eat the meek.

Why must we stay where we don't belong
Why must we stay where we don't belong, don't belong.

The factory mass producing fear, bottled, capped
distributed near and far, sold for a reasonable price.
The people they love it the feed it
brush with it, bathe with it, breath it
inject it direct to the blood.
It seems to be replacing love.

Why must we stay where we don't belong
Why must we stay where we don't belong, don't belong.

Because theres always gonna be token truth
Forgotten code, discarded youth.
You know theres always gonna be pedigree
one own the air, one pay to breathe.

Why must we stay where we don't belong (x2)
Why must we stay where we don't belong, don't belong.


Eat The Meek

Nofx's 'Eat The Meek' stands as a defining track from their 2001 album 'So Long & Thanks For All The Shoes,' capturing the raw energy and satirical edge of the early 2000s emo-punk scene. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of melodic hooks and aggressive distortion, reflecting the era's fascination with social commentary wrapped in theatrical performance. Released during a period where Nofx were establishing themselves as a major force in the underground, the recording showcases their ability to merge catchy pop sensibilities with the darker, more abrasive textures typical of their discography. As a staple of their live sets and a frequent point of reference for fans of the genre, the track remains a vivid snapshot of mid-2000s alternative rock culture, characterized by its high-energy delivery and memorable chorus that continues to resonate with listeners today.
