Leave It Alone Lyrics
Breath ever soft
We wouldn't wanna break the eggs as we walk
Never alone, cautious, afraid
I hear the voice of reason on the p.a.
Leave it alone, follow the grain
We couldn't stop the irresistible force
Leave it the same, change with the leaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the old
Leave it alone
DA NA NA NA NA NA NA
Breath, ever so slight
We couldn't take away your god given right
Leave it alone, heel and stay
Roll over and shake and beg for the bone
Leave it alone
DA NA NA NA NA NA NA
We wouldn't wanna break the eggs as we walk
Never alone, cautious, afraid
I hear the voice of reason on the p.a.
Leave it alone, follow the grain
We couldn't stop the irresistible force
Leave it the same, change with the leaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the old
Leave it alone
DA NA NA NA NA NA NA
Breath, ever so slight
We couldn't take away your god given right
Leave it alone, heel and stay
Roll over and shake and beg for the bone
Leave it alone
DA NA NA NA NA NA NA

I guessed this was just about how the easiest route is to conform with society and not challenge authority and shit. Like how the structures and institutions that keep us in place are allowed to continue as it's just easier to 'Leave it alone'.
"Breathe, ever so slight, we couldn't take away your god given right" is my favorite line... to me it suggests that freedom and individually is stripped back so far that all you've got left is your breath.
i love this song -- radness
this song fucking rocks... I love it... to me it means totallly following the government and being basically a robot to the fucked up society in which we live... I mean I could be wrong though lol... oh well!
wow on a stick
I think this song is about how, in our Partnership for a drug free american society, we must all be careful when trying to do anything that's "against the rules": Breath ever soft We wouldn't wanna break the eggs as we walk Never alone, cautious, afraid I hear the voice of reason on the p.a. These lines represent how, even if your like smoking a joint by yourself, there is always that risk that you could get caught and end up in jail. There's always someone else there, the voice of reason. Just my two cents
this was the first nofx song i heard bk when i was 12:D and i love it . i remeber not having a clue what it meant but learning all the words anyway. i think i agree with slippererypete it definitly makes sense ijust know that its really rereally good
this song is awesome
first nofx song i heard, and its still maazing now!
When I first heard this song, I thought it was about masturbation... "we couldn't stop the irresistable force" I suppose it could be about anything that someone else doesn't want you to do, be it the government, parents, school administrations, etc. and probably isn't really about masturbation, as I had once thought.
In my opinion, this song is quite well comparable to "Quadrat im Kreis" by Wizo. I see it as a statement of (temporarily) being tired of your day by day struggle to propagate/stand for/try to convince others of your ideas, ideals and values.
I could also be totally wrong, but considering this, it makes perfect sense, at least to me ;)
