Leave It Alone
NOFX · Ten Years Of Fuckin Up [1994]
breathe
ever so soft
we wouldn't wanna break the eggs as we walk
never alone
cautious afraid
I hear the voice of reason on the P.A.
leave it alone
follow the grain
we couldn't stop the irresistable force
leave it the same
change with the leaves
bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the old
leave it alone

breathe
ever so slight
we couldn't take away your god given right
leave it alone, heel and stay
roll over and shake and beg for the bone
leave it alone

Leave It Alone
NOFX's 'Leave It Alone' stands as a defining track from their 1994 debut album, Ten Years Of Fuckin Up. Released during the height of the late 90s punk revival, the song encapsulates the band's signature blend of aggressive punk energy and melodic hooks. The recording captures the raw, high-energy performance style that would characterize their discography for decades to come. As a staple of their early work, the track exemplifies the chaotic yet catchy sound that propelled NOFX to prominence in the alternative rock scene. It remains a quintessential example of the genre's evolution in the mid-90s, reflecting the era's cultural zeitgeist through its unapologetic attitude and driving rhythm.
