NOFX - Best God In Show Lyrics






I’ve no consideration,
zero mutual respect
For billions who suffer from
rational thought neglect
I don’t wanna waste a sentence,
I don’t want a convert-sation
That’s gonna end in disdain,
disbelief and aggravation

And I find it’s getting harder to hang out
With grown adults who actually believe
In Santa Claus and Noah’s Ark
and that their god is the best
My distaste has turned into detest

Who would read a 2000
year old medical journal
Techniques for bloodletting,
advice on Trichinosis
Would you navigate the globe
with a map of a flat earth
Without DNA testing,
would you believe virgin birth

And I find it’s getting painful to put up
With grown adults who actually believe
In Unicorns and Creation,
and God always takes their side
That’s when my innocent jabbing turns snide

Thank God for the Grammy,
thank God for the touchdown
Thank God for blowing up
the enemy’s sacred ground

So how am I supposed to take
anything you say seriously?
When you’ve swapped free will for faith,
hope and pre-destiny

And it’s getting agonizing to hang out
With grown adults who actually believe
Mythology and history
trump physics and science
My aversion has turned to abhorrence

  1. G.... ....

    Ah yes, Fat Mike does his Graffin impression. Love it!

  2. M.... R....

    It would be nice if he encompassed all religion, rather tha. Focus on American religion specifically. I mean, they're all fake....

  3. A.... G....

    Like jesus probably is a clone of her mother?

  4. g.... ....

    Listening to this on Christmas

    g.... ....

    I am..... Santa and Jesus came by 🤘

  5. L.... R....

    Hairy Hand

  6. B.... T....

    There are actually people who believe in flat earth now.. again?.. still?...

  7. N.... u....

    Evolution sure dont have any holes in it...i guess u believe the suns 93 million miles away...a guy in the 1500s without going to space said the earth is round...makes sense

  8. M.... ....

    62 people can't stand originality.

  9. C.... J....

    Think this is my all time no fx fave

  10. m.... b....

    fuck you devin i h8 u

  11. c.... ....

    this background looks like the cover of my school binder ~1997

  12. E.... J....

    HAHA this song is all about me.

  13. A.... B....

    Rich people, "god made me rich for a reason". Poor people "fuck, I guess god hates me". Both dumb

  14. M.... B....

    I-
    Yes.
    Just. Yes.



    Sorry religious family of mine, I'm not dumb.

  15. E.... S....

    All the people being like "I'm a Christian and I agree with this, let people believe what they want": you don't get it. It's not about morals and shit. Some people are just annoyed at what Christians are so willing to accept as true. Even if you're not shoving it in people's faces, you need to grow up if you think the shit in the Bible actually happened.

  16. S.... E....

    Somehow this sounds a lot like Element Of Crime (only they are German, and normally just go straight existentialist).

  17. H.... T....

    My pretty face is definitely going to Hell for enjoying this song! Ah fuck it, Heaven sounds boring anyway! Hell is just one big eternal party, while Heaven is just getting on your knees and sucking Jesus' dick for eternity!

  18. R.... K....

    a comma after history and trump is fitting

  19. T.... ....

    Hail Satan motherfuckers!

  20. p.... c....

    this sounds like a clash track from the late 70s/early 80s.

    p.... c....

    paul clarke no no no it does not lmao

  21. B.... B....

    I’m a Christian, and a pretty big fan of NOFX’s music. This does kinda hurt to hear not gonna lie. I wish more people would know that we’re really just called to show love and respect to everyone. It’s sad that so many “Christians” have totally missed this and are going around hating people such as the lgbt community and angrily arguing with people who disagree with the theology. The whole point is to be good to people. Past that, does it really matter where we think the universe came from and such?

    B.... B....

    Dude doesn't want Christian fans.

    B.... B....

    The problem is that he understands your religion better than you do. It's definitely not about love and doing good. That notion came about after enlightenment era secularism tamed your religion like a dog. That's why you're not burning people at the stake and stoning them to death. Not because your religion is inherently peaceful.

    B.... B....

    Stoning people who work on the Sabbath and raping the daughters and killing the sons of non believers. Doesn't that sound nice and lovely. True Christian values.

  22. C.... ....

    Best band. NOFX = NO FEAR

  23. A.... D....

    Fora Bolsonaro fascista

  24. B.... R....

    and most important FUCK RELIGION!!!!!!!

  25. B.... R....

    Fuck Brainwashed idiots americans! WAKE THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO WHAT NOFX HAS BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS!

  26. B.... R....

    FUCK TRUMP!!!!!!!

  27. C.... R....

    Watching these dumbfuck liberal atheists pretend to know anything about science is hilarious. NOFX has always made incredible sounding songs, including this one, but they are a bunch of clueless dumbfucks and nowadays totally anti-punk rock despite them bragging about being it constantly.

  28. 1.... A....

    God's real, it says so in the Bible :)

    1.... A....

    Then boy do I have some news for you about spider man.

  29. R.... N....

    Love the anarchy symbol that's my favorite symbol the anarchy symbol

  30. m.... f....

    Jamaica's alright

  31. L.... J....

    love the lyrics, buddhist fundamentalists can also be quite exhausting

  32. F.... S....

    FUCK this song is fucking amazing!

  33. u.... x....

    YOUR WELCOME

    u.... x....

    Go fuck a disease ridden rodent

    u.... x....

    Welcome for what? The lyrics are already in the video.

  34. J.... P....

    And here we have the anthem of atheism

    J.... P....

    @Captain Rupertikjakmos at least smart enough for not believing in god...

    J.... P....

    @DevyMarcusW You know fuck all about God or religion, so get a life.

    J.... P....

    Heil Satan! 666

    J.... P....

    @Captain Rupertikjakmos I know more about Christianity than the majority of Christians, but that doesn't really say a lot when you think about it

    J.... P....

    @Herpy Yeah, no.

  35. A.... D....

    Very good! Where do you stand on the #lochnessmonster as #dots in the #balticsea? #ifunicornsdontexisttherestfallsdownquickly #arentunicornsasymbolofvirginityinanothermythology #grecochristianinteraction

  36. I.... O....

    NOFX sound AMAZING. Especially when HIGH AS FUCK!!! Fat Mike and Nofx are my heroes

  37. p.... m....

    As far as Christianity goes its horrific. Its also weird, im gay and its worrying to think that billions of folk around the world hate me because of a old work of fiction!God is about as real as darth vader, a bit more evil and a way worse dresser though lol!

    p.... m....

    peter mcallister to me religion in general is the world's greatest bullshit lie churches teach kids about the easter bunny and santa clause but all of a sudden you want to say that a virgin gave birth one guy made all of humanity and that our planet just magically appeared and they say he loves everyone which is why some churches frown apon homosexuality like you pointed out and actually ban music generas made by the same people who "where made in gods image" and they ban people who use drugs but serve alcohol to whoever the hell wants it and that is why i firmly believe that religion not god but religion is compleate bullshit i believe there is a god i also believe that god is a element on the periodic table called carbon because if im not wrong (which i might be) carbon is found in everything and they say god created all so to me maybe not to you but to me god is the element carbon it makes up everything in this great planet and the best part is it dosent give a shit what you do with your life

    p.... m....

    Im not sure what your saying. You know im an atheist right, cos you seem to be rambling about periodic tables....its bizzare

    p.... m....

    peter mcallister my point was that everyone seems to be worshiping a figment of their imagination and then outcasting and shunning people who dont agree with their thinking

    p.... m....

    Eh most of them were going to hate you for other reasons too

  38. M.... M....

    Nofx fan from a land lost. This song is magic.

  39. M.... P....

    Hairy Mountain Troll? A Turd? Do you live in a valley? Cause you might be a little shit.

  40. D.... B....

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Hours of entertainment on this one video once your done listening to it you can go down bellow and read all the religion based arguments for days.

  41. Z.... 1....

    So refreshing. If people could just drop the religious mystical stuff maybe we could actually take responsibility for our actions and do what is right because it make sense and helps people.

  42. J.... D....

    Good song, beautiful use of reason, but my lord the fans sound like delusional teenagers.

    J.... D....

    No they're actually more like smart teenagers.. and i should know i've been one of them some longer time ago (note: irony) :p

  43. R.... S....

    This song is all about making fun of conservative Christian ideology

    R.... S....

    really religious traditionalism... since they all have their own assumptions

  44. Z.... ....

    mikes lyrics are so fucking good

  45. P.... H....

    its all good

  46. S.... ....

    Many NOFX listeners like to argue that the band was better pre-war on errorism. I disagree. Their new stuff is better.

    S.... ....

    SuperbowlJoel I think its all great

    S.... ....

    It's hard to choose an "era" of NOFX. Every album has a message that speaks true for any given time, so I say: It's all fucking great!

    S.... ....

    So you're not into punk

    S.... ....

    I like it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  47. K.... B....

    I fucking love this band

  48. R.... H....

    (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

  49. M.... ....

    Here's one for you, Christians: Explain how a mistranslation of the Bible is still as holy as the original work.

    Honestly, I think people need to stop shoving their religion (or lack of it) in other people's faces. The way I see it, believe what you want to believe, but remember that other people can believe what they want to believe too.

    M.... ....

    @Maxie Pattie we want you to drink bleach its yummy make sure you use Tide pods as a chaser lol

    M.... ....

    @terry bartsoff my deal is if you the fairytales up i don't destory them.

    M.... ....

    I can't just "believe what I want." People need to fuck off with that bullshit. I would love to believe in an all-loving god, but no one has ever given me a compelling reason to. I could try worshipping your imaginary friend alongside you but I'd just be lying to myself. Belief isn't a choice. Religion = delusion.

    M.... ....

    @Alijahc038[Ali] Everyone is in fact an atheist, some just like to pretend they have a magic invisible friend.

    M.... ....

    @Noise Redemption Its basicly the same thing.

  50. P.... B....

    omg i love this :'D

  51. C.... M....

    first comment, thanks for the upload and good job ^-^

    C.... M....

    you're not even close to first

  52. D.... ....

    Well, this song pretty much explains the last 20 years of my life. Now you know why I refuse to leave the house...lol

  53. S.... B....

    I just played this at the breakfast table after my parents came from church, really loud.

    S.... B....

    hero cookie?

    S.... B....

    What a mad lad

    S.... B....

    Nobody thinks you’re cool for this dipshit lol

    S.... B....

    I take shit that never happened for 600 alex

    S.... B....

    @john doe 16 year old me would've thought he was.

  54. T.... s....

    slow ska. if you dont like it, you dont like much

    T.... s....

    not slow ska, slow ska is reggae

  55. M.... H....

    I've never connected to a song more in my entire life. It makes so much sense.. yeah.. I was raised a catholic but now I think about it... because so many other theories we had on the world have been proved to be outdated so why are we still believing what some guy wrote down 2000 years ago?? I'm really confused about what I believe, you know, whether I believe in Christianity or whatever, but I'm glad I heard this song tbqh

    M.... H....

    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. I made up my own religion. It's mostly just a philosophy. I praise human potential, reason, questioning, and I enjoy the sun.

    If you ever have kids, the greatest gift you can give them is the ability to think critically about EVERYTHING.

    Here's a place for you to start though. Everything, including humans, is composed of subatomic particles. Those in turn make up all the elements. Where did all these elements come from? Figure that out, using science (with a little help from Google) and you'll figure out the closest thing to a fact based religion that we have.

    M.... H....

    +DARTH VIRAL That's called humanism my friend.

    M.... H....

    DARTH VIRAL thanks man. this is the rare comment....

    M.... H....

    Yeah I mean, I knew it was obvious when I saw that the bible didn't have a single selfie of jesus like wtf.

    M.... H....

    Sooooo...give us an update. It's been 5 years! Any progress on the theological dilemma?

  56. W.... S....

    Well, I for one believe in Unicorns...so there...

    W.... S....

    WWE isn't cool, WWF during the Attitude Era was cool, ECW was cool, and even WCW was cool. WCW in 2000 under Vince Russo is cooler than today's WWE product! And I hate Vince Russo! Everything Jim Cornette said about Vince Russo is 100% dead on accurate!

    W.... S....

    They Rino's dumb fuck

    W.... S....

    go fuck yourself

    W.... S....

    There in the bible, so they must be real.

    W.... S....

    I was gonna say the same!!! lololol!!! Nice :)

  57. Z.... ....

    why are there no videos of them playing this live :(

    Z.... ....

    @***** You don't fucking say

    Z.... ....

    Maybe because no one has put it onto YouTube.  I'm sure they play this live.  Our band does.

    Z.... ....

    @*****
    I'll go along and figure that you actually do know that they've never played it live and just add that I find it surprising.  It's kind of a signature song.and as mik0430 said in another thread "I pretty much agree with every word in this song". It's a simple song that says it all - you would think that it would be requested and that they would play it live.  But I may not have studied all of this like you have. And I mean that with respect if it is true.

    Z.... ....

    +John Mller you never added the video. Hence they never played it live. Liar.

  58. b.... ....

    Good effects, clean font, good text/background contrast, this is so rare to find on a lyrics video.

    b.... ....

    The timing on the lyrics is really good, too. It's pretty easy to sing along.

    b.... ....

    But... Aren't there supposed to be NOFX?

    Sorry I'll drink some cyanide for saying that

    b.... ....

    see... if you just follow the Style Guide, you can't go wrong.

    b.... ....

    who give a fuck shut up

  59. m.... ....

    I've loved this band for 15 years.. but this song elevated them so much higher for me... I 100000000000% agree with pretty much every word in this song

  60. M.... 9....

    In what program do you make these videos?

  61. r.... ....

    NICE QUALITY!
