We Got Two Jealous Agains
NOFX (usa) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought you were the one when I heard Holidays in the sun come
From your bedroom but my mind started to stray when I saw Youth of Today
Mixed with your singles what's with this underdog
And this GNR EP? I don't think Hanoi rocks
And I don't want your Paul Stanley next to my Subhumans gatefold
I'm not trying to be a jerk but I don't think this record mergers gonna work

But when I saw Christ on Parade, and This is Boston, Not LA
I knew you were the one
I knew you were for me when I saw the first Vandals EP
I found SNFU and cool I owned that record too
Seems we both had Social Unrest and sung "she's a pervert nurse"
We both had the first pressing of How Could Hell Be Any Worse

So now we got two Earth ADs and we got two Killing Jokes
We got two Adolescents two Peni's and two The Crews
We got two Someone Got Their Head Kicked Ins
We got two Declines, two Damaged
And two Jelous Agains, I knew you were the one

When I saw Machine Gun Etiquette
I knew you were the one when I saw the Peace War comp
We got two Articles of Faith, 31 minutes of group sex
We got a couple of Avengers, and a pair of Out Of Steps
We got 2 What We Do Is Secret, we got 2 TSOL's
We got 2 Freedom Of Choices we got two Three Hits From
Hells





I knew you were the one
