  • This is one of, if not the best song I've ever heard in my life.

  • when I saw NOFX way back in the day (2003 or 2004) they stopped in the middle of another song and started playing the part from 4:13 of this video. words can't describe the feeling in the pit when they did that. wish i was at the show last July when they played the whole thing

  • NOFX are playing The Decline on Jan. 17th in Hollywood, CA. Gotta go!

  • @madvillain House of Blues Hollywood,CA TONIGHT!!!

  • Esto es orgasmico

  • in my top 5 songs ever...

  • I use to be punk, then I took an arrow to the knee.

  • @SuperHumanError who gives a fuck? what is with this arrow to the knee shit?

  • i know the pieces fit!

  • 5:00

  • michael moore and nofx take on wallstreet ! that would be cool

  • @mookuable Don't you dare even put that fat piece of liberal trash, who fucking scams the shit out of innocent Americans, next to NOFX. NOFX speaks the truth, while Micheal Moore makes it look like he's saying the truth.

  • I remember downloading this song back in around 2003. It took me like 4 days to get the whole thing.

  • P.S. about relegion, tell Greg Gaffin to stop singing about Jesus, that would be like me writing songs about the Easter Bunny, and Santa Clause!

  • Sorry about the grammar, I am at work and not paying attention to my typing.

  • now i can say that i have a favorite song

  • Logic>Religion

  • Dear poster of this video: As quoted from you "religious right-wing" Just to give you a heads up, that is who built this country.

  • @sbounty3 Yeah, we know they built this country, that was the whole complaint. This country barely has anything left to take pride in and anyone who thinks the way that i do are wrote off as "un-American". The truth is, the good qualities of this country are dwindling . Everyone ignores the underlying problems keeping us from moving forward as a people. Those "religious right-wing" killed this country. Religion, Greed, and Ignorance are zero steps forward, and every step back.

  • @wherespooty

    I would say I am rightwinish, and very religious "not a fundementalist baptist" but I am religious. I have no issues with Race, sexual orentation, or personal choices. I however do have an issue with ignorance, and greed. I also do not have any issues with someone working hard to fulfill "there dreams". NOFX would be nowhere without capitalism, plain and simple. One thing that they seem to be so against, is what allows them to be so succesfull.

  • perfect timing on splitting them was wondering how u were gunna do that

  • @ScaredCivilian "NOFX has never been played on MTV. (although I heard that MTV in Brazil did play our video once or twice, but who can be sure, things are wierd down there)." - Fat Mike

  • @ScaredCivilian this is the exact opposite of MTV punk. MTV punk is all that pop punk emo bull shit.

  • @ScaredCivilian i can't fuckign believe you said that about this song and Nofx. This is smart creative punk not mtv punk.

  • @l0veall watch the fires burn...just being a model citizen. Song speaks volumes of truth, good stuff

  • 0:01 what a bass!!

  • smelly for president haha

  • I don´t understand people that dont like the second part of this song, couse they probably didnt like the first part, so why would they listen to the second.

  • One more pill to kill the pain!

  • This awesome song is such an EARGASM! I just love it.

  • I love punk, and nofx is the top of my list of favorite bands, but they're so blind to the facts. too bad, since punks are usually the only musicians that reject the status quo. oh well.

  • The first time I listened to this song was when I was in the 7th grade with my brother in his car.

    God, do I love him.

  • @ornange what God?

  • I wanna make a video to this song sooo bad. Every time I listen to the song, it plays out in my head. I got the basic story board in my head from scene to scene. I just gotta tweak it a lil and add one or two scenes. I have no idea how I would go about making the video or if I can even make it legal and please all the lawyers and record company at the same time. Music like this inspires me to create.

  • @kazhiryu187 No matter what video you put with this song it will be awesome. Give it a shot and post it!

  • @kazhiryu187

    If you were going to make the video from filming, you should use windows movie maker, it has a lot of different features and is perfect for editing short videos or sticking more than one together. I think that it can also be downloaded free...

  • This isn't just a great song, it's a work of fucking art.

  • we are in the decline set up buy the bush family, and new world order , fuck you very much

  • listen it while watching the 18 first mn of the wall it rocks ! !

  • 0:00 - 0:08 is the most badass bass riff IN THE WORLD......Fat Mike plays a riff and I JIZZ IN MY PANTS

  • i have varied taste in music with real punk roots only because im a musician.. This song forever and will ALWAYS give me goosebumps and that feeing of virtue in the truth... NOFX always reminds me of what made me fall in love with music

  • @frndav9 if it wasent for nofx i whould have never played guitar great inspiration great band a work of art

  • @KattieIrion46 Just because you talk to yourself does not mean you can consider yourself a friend.

  • disfunctionally raised.

  • Mike's so good at bass...

  • "...and so we go, on with our lives, we know the truth but prefer lies. lies are simple, simple is bliss. Why go against tradition when we can admit defeat live in decline, be the victim of our own design.."

  • Damnit.... I'm listening to it again.

  • I get 25 minutes of chills every time I listen this song... Every time for the past 11 or 12 years.

  • me, dom and my car. I was 16 and this song changed everything. When i bought this Cd i was on my home and picked up my sister and paused it when she had to get in. I told her "sorry, I have to listen to this im gonna just listen now." And the whole way home as slow as possible pissing her off just to finnish the whole thing. Great night. Best car ride i ever had listening to something not just anybody could get.

  • el tiene lo suyo y yo tengo lo mio ja agunte nofx

  • i jack off to this shit

  • one more pill to kill the pain

    great

  • One of the most epic songs of our times.

  • @okn0tok NOFX played the soundtrack to my teens

  • @okn0tok i love tat guitar...

  • brilliant....

    

  • This song used to keep me up at nights! Been so long since I heard this, loved that CD so hard

  • I got a dozen or so scratches on this disc and now it plays like a regular NOFX album minus the need for excessive exaltation. ;p

  • I really really hate that this song 100% represents the reality in which as Americans live.... Fucking hell. Nofx rocks

  • I saw this live at Reading at a secret gig. Needless to say I spontaneously climaxed.

  • @benwatts93 the gig with frank turner? I wish I had been there

  • @psych0p4t3 Indeed it was. It made my year.

  • Forgot how amazing this is, reminds me of good times

  • This is the best punk song of all time. Epic and well written lyrics with a wide range of breakdowns. Im more of a metal fan myself. But let alone best punk song, id say one of the best songs ever written. Real political message!! Id kill ta see it live!!

  • @RipDiMeBaGetchapull

    Same here, actually this is one of my fav songs ever... one of the most lol.. but one of them.

  • @RipDiMeBaGetchapull I know so many metal heads with a soft spot for NOFX haha

  • this song breaks my herat

  • @thecolonade What's a herat?

  • @uiruu

    its how i write heart when drunk at a party lol

  • @uiruu no I'm pretty sure it's arabic for "hymen"

  • @R1SEandFALLas0NE

    Okay.... uh.... cool.

  • The government wants to keep people poor, stupid, and sick so control from the elite is easy. Fuck the government!!!!!! "One more pill to kill the pain."

  • Just when you think its calmed down 2:55 slaps you in the face.

  • humanity has used religion as a format of control since the beginning of time. its fake. there is no ruling "spirits" that can violate human life. is real! wake the fuck up from your fantasy!your wow/dnd state of mind. that's part of their control. your Judea/christian state of mind is part of the control. satan is not real. radical Islam is only a facet in which middle eastern warlords gain control. there is no reptilians, to me the reptilians are just a metaphor for fake ass politicians.

  • probably the best 18 minutes of my life

  • ...

  • @zetsuei69

    Well that's your opinion... I think the worst part is the one after 18:20 :-P

  • A masterpiece! A tribute to all free-minded, to all punk rockers, to all misfits! Waht a song! A F***in' hymn! Thanks to NOFX

  • The best song!!

  • 3 punk rockers even went against there won cause lol

  • my fucking god i love the very beggining of this second part, how it sounds kinda metalish than it just bursts into strate up punk! "place a wager on your greed a wager on your pride!"

  • @zetsuei69 that's so true

  • a Masterpiece.

  • Seeing This full song live in Toronto was the highlight of my concert attending life, hands down, and forever will remain that way! I cannot help but rock the fuck out to this song. Takes my breath away and brings a tear to my eye everytime I hear it.

  • fucking beautiful. i always feel kinda sad when this song is over, after actually listening to the whole thing, like if when the song ends they actually left too or something idk.

  • 3:34...i love this part.LOVE

  • 1 more pill to kill the pain wow this is 1 of my all time greats

  • I paid money for this (i.e. I boughf the CD). And I'm quite happy about that even if Mike's a greedy Jew

  • @notnowliberty One of the few CDs I bought, right next to Iron Maiden's Killers, Bane The note and a couple other masterpieces.

  • Comment removed

  • this will never get old. absolutely timeless

  • it doesn't make sense that the first half have 250,000 views and the second half only has 89,000...

  • @dylanmarinus its all the 12 year old "punk fans" or wanna be fans... they dont know what real punk is.

  • @zetsuei69 I see what you did there lol. Totally agree

  • best part 2:55 to 3:33... rapes my soul everytime

  • No matter anyone's background, gender, orientation, this work speaks to anyone. That's the beauty of punk.

  • This part of the song is good yes, but neither part would be complete without the other, in my opinion, the song is best as a whole, and neither parts are better that its counter.

  • this song never gets old....i could listen to it over n over n id never tire of it.....absolutely one of the best i've heard in the thing i call life

  • this song never gets old....i could listen to it over n over n id never tire of it.....absolutely one of the best i've heard in the thing i call life

  • @zetsuei69 Okay u had me -__-'

    True tho

  • its club" we've got thiers too" now

  • 4:13 give me chills - one of the MOST MEANINGFUL lyrics ever to me.

    "And so we go, on with our lives

    We know the truth, but prefer lies

    Lies are simple, simple is bliss

    Why go against tradition when we can

    Admit defeat, live in decline

    Be the victim of our own design

    The status quo, built on suspect

    Why would anyone stick out their neck?"

  • @pegioia I know that verse by heart, it's the best thing ever written, it's so true.

  • @pegioia best part of any nofx song. period.

  • @pegioia listened to this part for the first time, got to those lyrics and then when it was over scrolled down and saw you comment.

  • simply amazing! nofx in general are just great, fat mike is a great songwriter, and this really proves it! the most consistent punk rock band in history!! what other band has been good for 27 years! well i guess they werent that great the first few years they were a band when they were all teenagers, but since they released ribbed in 1991, they have been consistently great!!!!

  • "Laissez faire et laissez passer, le monde va de lui même!" 

  • "modern punk rock masterpiece'... i couldn't word any differently myself

  • ... the past the present and the future of punk rock

  • this is punk history right here, but i like their new songs too

  • Epic

  • This masterpiece deserves a trophy - filled with coke. Read the lyrics carefully. Later, when I understood them I watched the news and read about US policies and atrocities. The next time I heard the song I cried.

    The last 2 minutes remind me of the Subhumans song of PEACE/War comp by the way.

  • Saw them in Toronto a few years back now...They opened the show by playing the entire decline....unreal! Show was 2 hours in total , of every song you wanted to hear, you name it , they played...best show of my life aside from festivals.

  • @rawkus420 Ahhh I know the feeling!? They opened there second set at Reading festival this year with this and it most certaintly blew my socks off and out of the festival!

  • Cloud control to major tom.

    "one more pill to kill the pain"

    Very simeler!

  • @GuidoParkie

    derp

  • They got to 3 minutes in to the second part at Leeds april 2009 when the venue pulled the plug!!

  • They got to 3 minutes in at Leeds april 2009 when the venue pulled the plug!!

  • great... but not better than when the musics over

  • Its Such A Awesome Song, The Second Longest Punk Song Ever Written.This Is The Only Song Were Melvin Can Sing Properly, And He Is Actually Singing Really Good

  • @gasmaskboi19371945 Please Learn To Type Without The Use Of A Capital Letter At The Beginning Of Every Word, It's Pretty Annoying

  • @palkian90 sorry

  • @gasmaskboi19371945

    I appreciate your apology mate. Good stuff. Amazing song too.

  • This is the best song ever created. The genre can safely die now.

  • this is a big middle finger to rednecks in middle/bible belt, guntoting ammurrica. nofx forever.

  • @muzikman182

    Your wrong, this is a big middle finger to every single brainwashed movie watching, videogame playing, finger text'in, cologne wearing fool that is too wrapped up in themselves and comfortable with their leisure human existence. This is a song about losing our humanity, not about being a dumb Christian or redneck.

  • @hoboscience I'm sorry man, but colognes are pretty great...Baudelaire, haha. Great song.

  • @hoboscience I take offense to that in the sense that I watch movies, play videogames, text on my cellular phone, and wear cologne, but that doesn't somehow make me blind to the downfalls of modern day society and the pitfalls of humanity in general. I personally love The Decline and everything it stands for.

  • one of, if not the best punk song ever written, NoFX just kicks ass, end of story

  • i only like nofx till white thrash two heeb and a bean . i dont like nofx that much with hefe i rather with dave machine man ... i think dave used to bring the rough part of nofx probably his influences were from metal

  • @f1l173 Dude I don't mean to argue but Hefe loves metal.In fact his old band was a metal band.Anyway I really don't like metal that much,but thats just my opinion.

  • @punkzz1000 i hear ya man its just after hefe got in he brought more ska roots lets say then metal. im not really stuck in one genre lets say i dont like all metal but i like lots of songs from different bands , same to rock and in nofx evolution over the years one thing i have to admit they got better technique n lyrics but i dunno its something abt the riffs one liberal animation . i think if they played the very same songs of now days with that distortion i'd love them now

  • Perfect Song!!

    

  • very well!! and long!!

  • The trombone work is great.

  • I like the part from 0:00 to 8:39

  • Sooo, yeah.  You guys are all wrong. It's not even up for debate. Both parts are amazing. Part 1 is better. Period. Far better, smarter, lyrics. Part 2 is mostly music. There's not nearly as much being said. Now, I love NOFX's music, but the best part of what they do is the lyrics. Which makes Part 1 > Part 2 10/10 <3

  • This song is one of my favorites. I like it so much that I can't stop repeating it over and over. NOFX is one of my favorite bands too. The trumpet solo is my favorite part(s).

  • @MrDongle24 The trumpets are the shit in this song, wlaking out fo the show I just had that same trumpet solo reverberating around my skull....if I could repeat a monet in time that would be it!

  • The bit at 3:33 is the best. Gives me goosebumps

  • Why is everyone such a whiny bitch in this post area?

  • thanks for posting :) very epic! reminds me of a different time ;)

  • ive got decline

  • jesus christ this is the best punk song i've ever heard and as xboarder said, this half is better than the first half, and the first half blew me away.

  • FUCKING TIMELESS SONG. i never really got into to NOFX. but i couldnt help but fucking love this song the first minute or two i heard it.

  • 1 more kill to pill the pain

  • As the website says, "Never try this song at home."

  • The best part of listening to NOFX is they share my exact views on religion. God does not exist, and all the "believers" are naive chumps who are (1) afraid of the nothingness after death, and (2) want to project their "divine" morals on everyone they meet. I swear to God, I hate Christians! I know I will get like 50 thumbs down for this comment (which will help prove my point).

  • @AdioZeroTensorSK8 Why hate only Christians, there are a bunch of world religions to share your naive rage. Atheism aside (I ascribe to such a world-view as well) impotent hatemongering of your sort is simply pitiful. Tone down on the polemic language and you get results, not scowls.

  • @soyhelsinki and yes, fucking brilliant song :)

  • @soyhelsinki Lol, what results have you ever received using the word "polemic"? Open-mouthed confusion? I'm not an atheist. I just think most people are ignorant, but they can believe what they choose. Stop being so pompous, you vain prick. How's that for vocab?

  • @AdioZeroTensorSK8 You lost me man. You agree with them that God doesn't exist but aren't atheist? How does that work? Also...you don't believe God exists but you still swear to God? Good luck with that. Haha

  • @AdioZeroTensorSK8 people are pretty simple to understand then aren't they then buddy. what a wonderful black and white world you got going there.

  • @AdioZeroTensorSK8 right on to you mann say it like it is im with u on this one

  • @AdioZeroTensorSK8 , THumbs UP! you speak nothing but truth

  • @AdioZeroTensorSK8 well my ad fond friend, you may be right, or it may be that they are just against certain religious outlooks.

  • @AdioZeroTensorSK8 I just like how you swore to god that you hate people who beleive in him, :p lol

  • @AdioZeroTensorSK8

    Spend less time worrying about what other people believe.

  • @AdioZeroTensorSK8 i bet youre surprised all you got were thumb ups... let that show you that you can not worry, there are sane people in this world, and every consecutive generation is becoming more and more sensible and sane. humanity is following a pattern of adapting to the change in our psyche and beliefs due to passing on information and discoveries of physics and science to our offspring.

    well be aight

  • @AdioZeroTensorSK8 no thumbs down my friend but swearing to God when you say there isn't one? lol, and just saying believing that death is nothing sounds horrible. Wouldn't you rather continue on or something? I'm not Christian by the way. Muslims are by far the worst when it comes to religion, they'll kill you straight up. Religion makes war.

  • @LegendaryA37 buddy you gotta stop listening to the media and think for yourself, im not religious by any means, but i do know alot about religion. catholics and hardcore cristians are way fucking worse than muslems!! now, a very small percent of muslems are jihadist, and catholics have been killing people "in the name of god" for fuckin ages, the romans, the crusades, the irish catholics, man the catholic faith is pure evil, not even the jihadists can touch them. ps i dont agree with jihad lol

  • @bonham0924 wow I didn't know that bit about Catholics, thank for that information! but a catholic hasn't killed a U.S. marine yet so i gotta say Islamic terrorists are the biggest douches.

  • @LegendaryA37 just keep in mind that when someone says "i swear to god" its merely an expression and there is absolutely no correlation with religious beliefs. only and idiot would stoop so low to associate the expression with actual belief.
