NOFX - Vegetarian Mumbo Jumbo Lyrics






I don't want tofu,
I'd rather have a mouthful of beef stew,
I don't want to be vegetarian,
Why eat beans when you can have steak instead?

I don't feel bad about,
Eating something that's dead,
So why should I be sad,
For cows getting hit in the head?
So I like eating fish,
Tell me what's wrong with this,
How can you blame me,
For eating chicken of the sea?

Don't waste your breath yelling at me,
About animal rights,
And how they should be free,
It's survival of the fittest,
And we're winning.

I don't feel bad about,
Eating something thats dead,
So why should I be sad,
For chickens being force fed,
So I like eating fish,
Tell me what's wrong with this,
How can you blame me,
For eating chicken of the sea?

    Celebramos el cumpleaños No. 47 del vocalista y bajista Vegetariano y Proteccionista MICHAEL FAT MIKE de la banda NOFX

    El primer álbum de NOFX se llama Liberal Animation
    [sarcasmo]

  10. S.... ....

    Best song from their best album.  Punk music about Bush and being Liberal get REALLY old.  I am even a liberal but oh my fuck does it get boring after the 100th song you hear.

    S.... ....

    +Meg Yeah I hate liberals. Too right wing.

  11. 4.... 4....

    nofx - vegan

  12. Z.... P....

    this is obviously ironic

    Z.... P....

    you're sure? 'cause i can't really understand, they were promoting junk food too, so i might say this would be ironic, but the lyrics are really straight. Btw, FAT mike is fat mostly because of the food he uses to eat...

    Z.... P....

    its not ironic. someone asked fat mike in an interview if he regrets any lyrics. he responded with something along the lines of "i dont regret writing vegetarian mumbo jumbo but at the time its what i believed but ive changed my mind."

  13. G.... ....

    You obviously don't get it, you obviously aren't a true NOFX fan.

  14. J.... S....

    from which song is the intro from?
    thx

  15. D.... ....

    2:24 best breakdown ive ever heard hands down

  16. D.... ....

    damn this takes me back to elementary wow...

  17. d.... v....

    FUCK U!

  18. D.... F....

    i always thought the song was meant to be ironic anyway

  19. S.... S....

    @Phonologie its acknowledges animal rights, but is saying fuck it ima eat meat, but according to their bio fat mike went vegetarian after making this album for a little while, haha

  20. R.... B....

    @anabilish 1. I don't like nofx, just stumbled here by chance 2. change? sacrifice? yeah sure. things never change, smartass, except for the outside façade. enough with this bs of changing the world in a better place! 3. it's untrue to say we don't need them to survive, it's quite clear 4. since everything has always some bad outcome, always, if you stop to think about every variable it's like not living at all. I can care for the effects on people I love, but that's all, straight and simple

  21. R.... B....

    @anabilish AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH you don't even know what you're talking about! neither have you the decency to admit it, but then again I'm not surprised as turning things upside down is the quickest way to try and gain the edge when someone's out of their comfort zone. having been a christian I do know them, unlike you, and they are as unable to accept facts as you are. my argument is solid as any scientist could confirm. but if you like better your illogical truths, stick to 'em

  22. R.... B....

    @anabilish lastly, I don't like LotR and it looks like you ignore a lot about science. one can state something only if studied deeply and extensively, and it still might be invalidated some day cause new data pop up more and more lately, from anywhere, we don't know the half of ourselves, even less of animals, no sensible person would rule out anything about other living beings's properties, except for the obvious. but then, your choice, anyone can follow any made-up religion he/she wants

  23. R.... B....

    @anabilish right, a simple, valid and true argument for eating sentient beings is that sentient beings use and eat sentient beings for survival. and no, exploitation is linked only to us being rat bastards in fact it has always existed and always will, and no, food is bad when is bad cause if you take a healthy grown carrot and spray it with crappy stuff it gets bad. plus, livestock pollutes cause it's fed with cheap crappy grains, if raised in open space, grass-fed, it would be a lot different

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

    @anabilish also, my foolish belief system is science, so I think it's stupid to assume without proof plants need nerves to actually feel things like we do. they don't seem to have ears but it turns out they somehow 'hear' sounds and music and distinguish them. we still don't know the half of them, most people still don't know they have their unique dna like us, so they might have an adequate system which we can't see, just as we couldn't see atoms a century ago.

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

    @anabilish sure as hell it's a problem, and it's caused mostly by a crappy, lazy, motionless lifestyle, and then by bad food. you really think people can't have vegetables grown artificially with crappy products? or that they are always healthy even if sprayed with pesticides? food is not bad but can be produced badly and become damn harmful. and yeah livestock emissions are high, that's why I'd like people to calm down, think about their real need and stick to it as I try to do

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

    @anabilish I wonder when people are gonna stop believing everything they are told just cause it's the trend. most of the nutrition studies about the 'healthy choice' are long lists of precentages, with which you can basically say anything you want. you're worried about the enviromental impact, don't buy from the agribusiness factories. and please stop with the unheard voices blabla, just cause you see cows walking while apples or tomatoes don't doesn' mean they're not alive and don't feel things

  27. R.... B....

    meat vegetables or fruit, still dead stuff. I rather eat democratically everything than follow some post hippy/new age eating philosophy

    R.... B....

    Like
    PaleoHacks?

  28. G.... F....

    SARCASM

  29. B.... H....

    How is he FAT Mike and now a vegan? Total contradiction.. I can bet he had plenty relapses..BEEF ITS WHATS FOR DINNER!

  30. W.... O....

    so strange, they are very controversial, they bash veggies in this song but in "your wrong" they say people are wrong for eating meat

  31. E.... O....

    @PunkrockIch PILGRIM! ahaha :D

  32. F.... Q....

    Where's my steak....?

  33. R.... ....

    I'm vegetarian :D and Vegans are freaking awesome, dude! They have the Vegan powers duuuhh. and don't forget... Chicken is not vegan!

    quoting movies ftw :D

  34. j.... ....

    @Poolerirish haha fat mike is a vegan know, and when asked about it said " hey, people change " veganism ftw!

  35. J.... ....

    I heard FatMike is actually vegan now, so those of you that like NOFX and are making fun of veggies and vegans, well, I guess you're adding him to the mix too..hahahaha. I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian that despises tofu but you have to have a sense of humor too....I guess ;)

  36. Z.... P....

    great lyrics

  37. 3.... ....

    vegans are full of shit!!!!

  38. F.... ....

    I don't know if anyone knows this but...isn't that tune in the beginning called "Andantino" by classical composer Matteo Carcassi? I take classical guitar lessons and that's one of the songs in my book.....

  39. c.... ....

    fat mike is a fucking genius sarcastic!

  40. T.... ....

    @ranuWOW xD Glad we're on good terms :P
    Haha, yeah. Just goes to show how world views change with time! A fave band of mine used to be Anarchy Punk, now they have pro-political songs. Crazy world we live in!

  41. B.... T....

    @Tobi2x4 oh no my feelings are so hurt now cause you said i was a troll. lol oh no how will i ever live my life now, knowing that im a troll??? oh god existence as i know it is going to come to an end lol and seriously search vegetarian and go through a few pages and this song will be there. i don't listen to nofx or whoeva they are. anyways from what ive been reading almost the whole band is vegetarian or vegan now so yea......

  42. T.... ....

    @ranuWOW Ahh, okay. That makes sense. I stumbled upon this song, haha.
    Thank you. I appreciate the well wishes.
    Also, sorry for calling you a troll... my emotions are a bit on edge right now. Normally I don't accuse people of trolling unless I'm damn certain they are, haha. ^^;

  43. B.... T....

    @Tobi2x4 i went to this video because i wanted to see the lyrics. i was searching stuff about being vegetarian and this video popped up. and im glad i could lighten up the mood on your misfortune. jah bless

  44. T.... ....

    @ranuWOW If I'm a punk ass poser for listening to them, what does that make you, considering you had to go to this video to see my comment? I'm not listening to them to be punk, I listen to them because I enjoy their music. Big difference right there.
    I'm glad you made me laugh, cause I spent all day yesterday in the hospital with my grandmother who is dying.
    I've got a sneaking suspicion that you are a wannabe troll that even 4Chan doesn't want to have. Damn /b/ wannabe.

  45. B.... T....

    @Tobi2x4 i called you a punk ass poser cause you're listening to nofx. they are a joke. and im sure you comment wasn't meant to be a lil polite comment about your grandmother. you meant to poke fun. but the thing is that vegetarians honestly dont give two shits bout you eating meat in front of them. and im glad i was able to make you laugh during your exciting day in your moms basement.

  46. T.... ....

    @ranuWOW Wow, really? All I said was that I like eating meat in front of vegetarians. I didn't call myself punk for doing that, so where do you get off calling me a punk poser? Seriously, your comment made me laugh my ass off at its sheer ludicrousness. The reason I said my comment is cause my aunt is vegetarian, and when she's home from out west, I eat meat in front of her, she makes a weird face, and I laugh, and she does too. Think before you speak, just sayin'.

  47. B.... T....

    @Tobi2x4 trust me they do not care if you are eating meat in front of them. im vegetarian and everyone eats meat in front of me. it doesn't make us feel bad or sad or anything lol cause we are not the one stuffing a dead animal into our mouths :) so eat all tha meat you want and hopefully you wont die from high blood pressure, cancer, or even your asshole getting clogged up. LOL fuckn fake ass punk poser.

  48. A.... B....

    @SIRWAF Yeah.

  49. T.... ....

    *I like eating meat in front of vegetarians

  50. T.... ....

    I like eating

  51. B.... ....

    @CriminalCypress His views changed dumbass.

  52. J.... ....

    Fat Mike wrote this about 20 years ago, obiously his beliefs change over time as everybody's does...

  53. B.... ....

    NOFX Rules

  54. 4.... ....

    fat mike is a vegan now:)

  55. B.... L....

    @bradaman46 killing my mom and eating her is the same as eating a burger.. yea totally bro, good one.

  56. B.... L....

    YEAAA IM GONNA GO EAT SOME FRIED CHICKEN AND DRINK SOME MEAT BEER BITCHES

  57. B.... D....

    you guys are just idiots, if you don't feel bad about eating something that's dead, go kill your mum and eat her. Fat Mike is a fucking vegan now,so pull your tongue out his ass, or even better keep it in there and follow in his footsteps.

  58. i.... ....

    its all good to me i like food.but you can keep ur satin an tofu

  59. W.... F....

    MMMMMMM Steak

  60. N.... A....

    you suck if red meat is on the back burner . Hippies

  61. z.... ....

    good old nofx

  62. T.... A....

    i don't feel bad about eating something's thats DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  63. h.... ....

    Veggies and vegans are no fun.

  64. d.... ....

    @ooJDMoo Its not propaganda lol. If you actually watched the documentary (the guy who made it eats meat) it explains exactly that about organic meat and supporting local farm produce. And no one is trying to say meat is bad for you, its more complicated than that and effects ethics, morality, etc etc. And i can assure you i am not falling for anything. I made a conscious decision to stop eating meat based on many reasons and alot of thought.

  65. J.... ....

    @destinationuknown85 you think i don't know that? your preaching to the wrong person hombre.

  66. d.... ....

    as gandhi said, "you can judge the advancement of civilisation by the way they treat their animals". Think we pretty much fail. But then again, we treat humans in the same way, like resources.

  67. d.... ....

    @muler321 dude, we create world hunger by the fact we use crop fields to feed animals on mass industrial scale to feed fat people who want their big macs and cheeseburgers. Use that land to grow crops which could feed faaar more people. Oh, but capitalism breeds greed doesn't it, thats why america is the fattest nation on the globe. Go get your cheesebuger, and maybe a clue somewhen in your miserable self centered existance.

  68. d.... ....

    @mommysantichrist because all the farms of the world (this is fact, do some research) are using their fields to plant crops to feed animals which are then sold to mass corporations and end up in fast food - why do you think you can buy a cheeseburger for $1 or 99 pence but try buy some vegetables for the same price. Its so much more complicated than you think.

  69. d.... ....

    @DMcFed you're a fucking idiot man.

  70. d.... ....

    @ooJDMoo you are wrong in so many ways. You read just what meat companies want you to (just like you say about PETA). Watch MeatInc for instance, and do some research. You can get all you need from vegetables, plus in this day and ages the way animals are treated is disgusting. We turned them into a resource, well i guess just like we did with human beings. Human resources departments, what an insult. Same mindset. Open your mind bro.

  71. h.... ....

    If you eat human, too, it makes it okay.

  72. C.... T....

    @dissonantcry Sir, if you think your body is designed by evolution, why are you concerned with slapping God in the face? Of whose team are you on?

  73. D.... ....

    This album's embarrassing, as is all NOFX prior to White Trash. El Jefe took them from obscure garbage to the second best band in the world. I still have no idea why Fat Mike was allowed to continue on as the singer, but it is unique. He is one lucky marxist millionaire.

  74. J.... ....

    @muler321 no my point being we shouldn't focus all our time on saving said 3rd worlds because it just takes away from the rest of the food supply and it's not really a war we can win.

  75. m.... ....

    @mommysantichrist Therefore, more animals should be used for food, or we might have to resort to cannibalism.

  76. m.... ....

    @Deadleader555 That's a difficult thing to do.

  77. J.... ....

    @muler321 who's to say we should save the people in 3rd word countries. the food supply is getting bad as it is.

  78. J.... D....

    @muler321 Not all AR activists are into PETA, I am, but I know lots who hate them. About human rights, most of the activists I know, me included, are also into human rights; if we could use meat to feed the hungry children in 3rd world countries we would. We realy don't need animal products to live, so we don't use them, if we can avoid HUMAN and ANIMAL cruelty we do.

  79. m.... ....

    @madvegan66 It's not a problem if it's a lifestyle choice, but animal rights? Give me a break! PETA and all those hypocrites want to give animals more rights than some humans in this world. Why don't we look at the third world countries before we begin looking into animal rights.

  80. T.... ....

    @madvegan66 I dont think so dude, i dont think so...

  81. J.... D....

    @yescharliesurfs Fat Mike

  82. T.... ....

    @madvegan66 who?

  83. J.... D....

    Thank goodness he's a vegetarian now.

  84. g.... ....

    @stokeybacon88 yes he hated vegetarian protesters, and then he read more and then he became a vegetarian

  85. K.... O....

    Isn't this supposed to have another side of the track?

  86. P.... P....

    it`s like the descendents, except lame.

  87. z.... a....

    @2887466 he wasnt a veggie when he wrote this song look on wiki or a biography or sumit

  88. m.... ....

    He doesn't care about animals, he just cuts down on eating them cause it's healthy ;)

  89. 3.... ....

    idiot, watch his interviews he just have a good way to see how the world is managed and stuff

  90. M.... G....

    i dont think speaking against the government should be labled as a 'stereotype', its the foundation of WHY punk exists... a stereotype would be alcohilic drug abusers, and nofx has been that since day one!! hahaha

  91. 0.... ....

    he made this song back then I think but he goes a little overboard sometimes when writting songs and now hes a vegetarian, thats a little akward

  92. J.... H....

    So's fat mike

  93. p.... ....

    have heard this in years boss song, cheers for putting if up

  94. m.... ....

    this song fukin rocks!

  95. T.... ....

    yeaheheheh
