Dan, the company man, felt loyalty to the corp

After 16 years of service, and a family to support

He actually started to believe the weaponry and chemicals were for national defense

Cause Danny had a mortgage and a boss to answer to

The guilty don't feel guilty, they learn not to

    NOFX is always so surprising in their lyrical abilities. Just some pop punk band with the same beat in nearly every fucking song (except when they ska it up) and a melody/harmony that sounds like Broadway music. But damn are their lyrics smart -- simple without being sophomoric (take note Jonathan Richman), and preachy without sacrificing humor and fun (looking at you Anti-Flag).

    "The Idiots are Taking Over" is another good one. So relevant today but it was written during Dubya's tenure.
