I've Become A Cliché
NOFX · The Longest Ep [2010]
I'm 40 now and I got a family and I got shit to do.
And, you know, I made the decision when I was 40...
I'm goin' on the wagon, you know?
No more drinking, no more drug taking, no... oh, this?
This is a beer, but... you know... this is light beer!
It's... it's not even like drinking beer!
I've become a cliché.
I've become a cliché.
I've become a cliché.
I've become a cliché.
Okay, well, I'll have a drink or two at shows,
but only to loosen up.
I totally stopped doing drugs.
Oh, prescription drugs are... you know, that's different.
It doesn't have to be my prescription.
If a doctor prescribes these drugs, they've gotta be pretty safe.
But, you know, I definitely don't do street drugs anymore.
I mean, unless you've got some.
I've become a cliché.
I've become a cliché.
I've become a cliché.
I've become a cliché.
Oh, you're not holding.
That's cool.
No big deal.
You know, I never do it unless it's just around...
or someones offering it.
Oh, I know a guy!
Yeah, he's... he's like 10 minutes away.
I'll... I'll drive. I'll drive.
You know, I got money too!
Oh, oh we... yeah we could just stay here.
Or... I'll be back in 20.
I've become a cliché.
I've become a cliché.
I've become a cliché.
I've become a cliché.
Whaddya mean?
This is not last call.
This is first call.
We'll... we'll... I know a place we can go.
We'll go right... You threw up!
