Just The Flu Lyrics
Looking back to the past,
predictions of the end
Unseen ultra violet rays
are beating on my head
Nuclear threat wanna bet will be our demise
The day will come when we'll look to apocalyptic skies
When the news had spread, that soon we'd all be
dead
Well it just blew our minds
No one could have guessed that our worst fears at
best
Figments of our time
So it seems that our dreams will never come to be
How could such a stupid thing destroy humanity?
A few weeks till extinction and there's nothing we can
do
A message sent to other worlds will say, "It was just the flu"
There's no lesson to be learned
There's no one left to learn it
OK THIS COULD BE REALLY WRONGE OR COMPLETLY RIGHT BUT ILL GO WITH RIGHT.........THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE NUCLEAR WARFARE CRISIS IN OUR WORLD TODAY AND HOW LIKE ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY HAS NUKES TODAY AND HOW FATMIKE IS ADDRESSING IT IN A MORE SYMBOLISTIC WAY AS IN LIKE A SICKNESS OF THE WHOLE WORLD....AND THE WHOLE PART ABOUT "A MESSEGE SENT TO OTHER WORLDS WILL SAY, IT WAS JUSTTHE FLU" THE FLU CAN BE EITHER DEADLY OR HARMLESS DEPENDS ON HOW YOU TREATED IT AND HOW MUCH CARE YOU TOOK INTO IT........AND IT ALL REFFERS TO HOW THIS NUCLEAR CRISIS WOULD AHVE BEEN EASILY OVER COME BUT SINCE IT WAS NEVER "TREATED" IT RESULTED IN "DEATH" OR HOW FAT MIKE PUTS A STUPID THING DESTROYING HUMANITY I WOULD BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THIS SONG ALOT BETTER IF IT WASNT SO DAMN LATE AND I WASNT SO TIRED
yeah, they're basically saying that the human race is screwed up.
i think the song is not just about nuclear stuff..but about all the stuff humans cannot handle..diseases, nuclear stuff, ozon stuff...etc..:P
quoted from a nofx interview on their official site, ur all wrong by the looks of it :P
MRR: Is one of you’re new songs you sing about something like, “There’s no lesson to be learned if there’s nobody here to learn it.” Are NOFX actually getting sensitive or peace punky?
Fat Mike: Oh, no. Not at all. It was either Stephen King or Harlan Ellison who wrote a story about everybody dying of the flu. So it’s like all that nuclear power, peace punk stuff is bogus, it’s just a virus that killed everybody.
One has to wonder exactly how so many icons, songwriters, script writers for infamous animations, movies and tv shows manage to hit the nail on the head so often. Maybe because they have insider knowledge? The year is 1990, nearly 30 years preceding the great pandemic, the event that will be forever written into history as the moment the masses finally lost their sovereignty and handed all their power over to the hateful, vengeful, traumatised perpetrators of hell on earth... Don't worry, it's just the flu.....
