I'm not sure I'd classify 2006 as the good "old" days for NOFX. I thought this song came out in the mid-90s. To be honest, I didn't think they were even still playing. I like to recite random song lyrics around the house so my 10-year-old can tell me "that's not even a song, Mom!" She googled the lyrics and hit on this video. Ah, but it's always a little disturbing to be reminded that our mothers had entirely different lives back in the "old days." :p
I think he was talking more about the political/cultural climate we've been embroiled in these past few years, not the era of the band. Thank you for story about singing random lyrics around your kiddo :3 that was freaking adorable. :D

His change for the "just an average Joe" line reveals the true meaning of the song. It's one of the most ballsy punk songs of all time, almost no one gets it.
@@jimmyb4812 The surface meaning, or at least what I thought when I heard this 20 years ago, was that it's an anti-racist song about not labeling people with skin color. The true meaning is that it's an anthem for American Jews, who despite looking white, consider their culture and race to be separate from European whites in important ways. So the song is about that complex situation, where they look white but don't want to be called white. It's all there in the original lyrics but when he changes the "just an average Joe" line in this performance he spells it out. I say few people get it because I've seen many adults go through life without catching on to this Jew/White distinction, and it was even more unknown when this song was new.
@@iyziejane Huh. I never even thought of that. Going through the lyrics with that idea in mind does make a lot of sense. I think it may be both at the same time, but it definitely does seem to also be talking about Jews.
hey man these are the real punk rockers like green day used to be. green day have grown a lil bit but these guys are still like they first formed this band and i love it
