It was 1983
When Eric Melvin called
He heard that I played bass in False Alarm
He asked me if I wanted to start a punk band
I said "fuck yeah!"
And we saw Code of Honor
And since then, we've been brothers
I met Smelly
In East Hollywood
He didn't know me
But liked my Black Flag skateboard
I liked his two piece Tama drumhead drumset
That was a night I won't forget
The night we became NOFX
To survive we bought and sold
And did so many drugs
And made so many bad
Decisions and recordings
We never had a chance, until we got
A Mexican-American
A stolen phone card
A van to tour the country
Playin' backyards
Maybe we'd even get paid
