Franco Un-American

NOFX · They've Actually Gotten Worse Live [2007]

I never thought about the universe,

It made me feel small.

Never thought about the problems of this planet at all.

Global warming, radioactive sites,

Imperialistic wrongs, and animal rights. NO!



Why think all the bad things when life is so good?

Why help with an end when there's always a could?

Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea,

Outside of California, it's foreign policy.



I don't want changes,

I know reactions

Your dillemas are my distractions.



That's no way to go, Franco Un-American

No way to go, Franco Un-American

No way to go, Franco Un-American

No way to go, Franco, Franco Un-American



I never looked around, never second-guessed

Then I read some Howard Zinn now I'm always depressed

And now I can't sleep from years of apathy

All because I read a little Noam Chomsky



I'm eating vegetation cause a fast food nation

I'm wearing a couple of shoes cause of globalization

I'm watching Michael Moore expose the awful truth

I'm listening to Public Enemy and Reagan Youth



I see no world peace 'cause they're zealous armed forces

I eat no breath-mints 'cause they're from the hooved horses

Now I can't believe; what an absolute failure

The president's laughing 'cause we voted for Nader



That's no way to go, Franco Un-American

No way to go, Franco Un-American

No way to go, Franco Un-American

Where can we go, Franco Un-American?



I want to move north and be a Canadian

Or hang down low with the nice Australians

I don't want to be another I don't care-ican

What are we gonna do Franco, Franco Un-American

Franco Un-American

Recorded during NOFX's 2007 live performance, 'Franco Un-American' exemplifies the band's signature blend of punk energy and satirical lyricism. The track features the group's characteristic vocal delivery and rhythmic intensity, characteristic of their work in the late 2000s. Released on 'They've Actually Gotten Worse Live,' the song continues the tradition of addressing political and social themes through a distorted, high-energy sound that has defined their career. It serves as a dynamic addition to their extensive discography, capturing the raw spirit of their live shows while maintaining the melodic hooks that have made them a staple in the punk rock genre.
