Mr. Jones

NOFX · Liberal Animation [1988]

My name is Mister Jones,

I get inside your bones,

I know how to make you tweek,

You soon will be my freak.



Because I know what you need,

I control your mind,

I roll up your sleeves,

I make ties that bind,

I've got you!



You'll soon be begging on your knees,

You've got the disease,

All your money belongs to me,

You've got the disease.



I can't seem to live without you,

Without you whats the point,

I wasn't born with a silver burnt spoon,

Do I still have any choice? (NO!)



Because I know what you need,

I control your mind,

I roll up your sleeves,

I make ties that bind.

Mr. Jones

NOFX's "Mr. Jones" serves as a quintessential example of the band's early punk energy, captured on the 1988 album *Liberal Animation*. Released during a pivotal era for the group, the track exemplifies their signature blend of aggressive instrumentation and socially conscious lyrics. As a staple of their discography, the song reflects the raw, unpolished aesthetic that defined NOFX's initial years before they evolved into a more complex musical entity. It remains a defining recording that showcases the band's ability to channel the spirit of the late 80s underground scene while establishing a distinct voice within the broader punk rock landscape.
