NOFX - California Drought Lyrics






I once heard a song about it never rains in Southern California
I once saw a band play at the farm sober, I hadn't had a drink
Like cleaning gums or hugging bums or doing something that you knows good for ya
Those times are tedious and tenuous and hopefully much shorter than a blink

I'm so easy to dechiphe
I could rationalize for life
But from all the strife I caused, I gotta go without
Taking 'codones is insane
I don't wanna kill, I want more pain
So like the California drought, I'm drying out

I got the one job that it's frowned upon if you're not a user
The bands that are all sober are the ones playing the Warped and county fairs
I'll go to a meeting and get called a loser
Then I get invited to a party from a bro who works at Bayer

He's got shit from 1910
Bottled H, that's genuine
I just want see what all the hype's about
I just gotta try it once
But I say no 'cause I got 3 months
And like the California drought, I'm drying out

My sponsor should be Ernie Ball or PBR and not Pat from Petaluma
The chips I want are kale, corn, potato and for betting on a flush
But now I gotta listen to a 20 minute story that's just a rumor
And I'm sorry but this nicotine and caffeine don't gimme the same rush

I'm a jest pilot in jux
To positions in a crux
I'm not in fashion, I'm in flux, so they all doubt
I just want some cocaine
But it's making me insane
I think I may have broken my brain, I'm drying out

    I once heard a song about it never rains in Southern California
    I once saw a band play at the farm sober, I hadn't had a drink
    Like cleaning gums or hugging bums or doing something that you knows good for ya
    Those times are tedious and tenuous and hopefully much shorter than a blink
    I'm so easy to dechiphe
    I could rationalize for life
    But from all the strife I caused, I gotta go without
    Taking 'codones is insane
    I don't wanna kill, I want more pain
    So like the California drought, I'm drying out
    I got the one job that it's frowned upon if you're not a user
    The bands that are all sober are the ones playing the Warped and county fairs
    I'll go to a meeting and get called a loser
    Then I get invited to a party from a bro who works at Bayer

    I just want to try a bunch but can’t I got 8 months!!!!

  3. J.... B....

  4. d.... ....

    Damn Smelly, that break down is sick!

  5. C.... G....

    God I’ve want Fat Mike in the Joe Rogan podcast for so long

    C.... G....

    This!!! Make it happen ;)

  6. v.... O....

    not to downplay the drought but we live in a CUNTry where real Nazis have taken a political foot hold. why don't you write something more relevant and alarming.....like how there are fucking Nazis.

    v.... O....

    vaping Otter why not write your own album?

    v.... O....

    You're wrong though. Nazis aren't doing shit in America. Quit spreading SJW propaganda. Im glad NOFX isn't dumb enough to buy into the regressive left bullshit.

    v.... O....

    If your talking about Trump, this was made before he came to power

  7. M.... W....

    The drums on this song are so amazing!

    M.... W....

    FINALLY!!! Someone that sees what I see. I read a review of the album and the reviewer mentioned the trumpet solo at 1:57... I was like did you not hear Smelly go all Buddy Rich!!? Dude went otherworldly with it and you mention an easy trumpet solo? He missed the real solo. Well at least we didn't :)

    M.... W....

    Exactly! I was blown away by the drums on this song! I had a tough
    time learning the part so I could cover it. I even had to slow down the
    tempo of the song so I could try to hear everything that was happening.
    Incredible!

    @Matt Wilson Drummer
    What gets me about Smelly is how easy he makes it look. For years he's been like that. You hear something and imagine him just going off and you see him do it and he's just casually going off. Like he could literally yawn lol

    M.... W....

    Yeah, you are totally right!  He makes it look like the easiest drum part in the world no matter what he is playing.  I guess if you play fast wild drum parts for that many years it gets easier.

    "I just want some cocaine, but it's making me insane..."
