MxPx - Franco Un-American Lyrics

MxPx Lyrics

"Franco Un-American"
(originally by NOFX)

I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small
Never thought about the problems of this planet at all
Global warming, radioactive sites
Billionaire cons and reproductive rights, no!

Why think of all the bad things when life is so good?
Why help with an "am" when there's always a "could"?
Let Drew Brees worry about the levees breaking free
Outside of Puerto Rico, we're doing fine, you see

I don't want changes, I have no reactions
Your dilemmas are my distractions

That's no way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco, Franco Un-American

I never looked around, I never second-guessed
Then I read the YouTube comments, now I'm always depressed
And now I can't sleep from years of apathy
All because I saw kids in cages on TV
I'm eating avocados to support Vegan Nation
I'm learning only fake news 'cause of Facebook-ization
I'm watching Joe Rogan like there's gonna be a test
I'm listening to Anti-Flag and singing NOFX
I see no interstellar peace 'cause of zealous Space Forces
Just frat boy Neo-Nazis marching with their tiki torches
Now I can't believe what the Dems did with Bernie
The president's laughing 'cause he grabbed us by the puss*

That's no way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
Where can we go, Franco Un-American?

I wanna go east and eat with Japanese again
Or climb the wall and hang out with the Mexicans
I don't wanna be another "I-don't-care"-ican
What are we gonna do Franco, Franco Un-American?

The cover artwork of MxPx's version of "Franco Un-American" mimics that of "The War on Errorism" album by NOFX, but instead of George W. Bush, a caricature of Mitch McConnell is pictured.

Since the original song by NOFX was released 16 years earlier, MxPx re-worked the lyrics to reflect the current situation in the USA.
