On 11 November, 2001, after ten years together and over 250,000 album sales worldwide, No Fun At All decided to quit. Since 2004, No Fun At All has performed some reunion gigs. At the reunion show at the Groezrock Festival, No Fun at All announced that they would bring out a new album in the fall of 2008 through their own label Beat 'Em Down Records. On April 19, 2012 the Millencolin Festival announced that No Fun At All canceled their show at the festival due to their disbandment [1]. As of May 2013, however, the band is active again and will be touring Australia in November of that year with Boysetsfire, Off with Their Heads and Jughead's Revenge.
Believers
No Fun At All Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get molested by the people who believe
They run around and bother everyone they see
Somebody stop them I don't care what it takes
Please leave me alone
Please leave me
I'm tired of listening to them talking of heaven
I'm tired of the believers
I'm tired of listening to their endless boring song
You'll be happy come get salvation
(I'll be happy when I smash your face in)
I take a step and then I hear the little bells
Some bald fanatics try to make me buy their books
I take another step and hear the tambourine
If you're a good boy you won't end up in hell
In No Fun At All's song Believers, the singer expresses his frustration and annoyance towards the people who believe in a certain religion or way of life, who constantly bother him and try to sell him their beliefs. The lyrics describe how the singer feels like he is being molested by these people who are trying to force their beliefs onto him. He pleads for someone to stop them, no matter what it takes, and for them to leave him alone. In the chorus, the singer expresses his exhaustion with the believers and their constant talk of heaven, claiming that he'd rather smash their faces in than listen to them.
The second verse describes the singer's experience of walking through town and constantly being approached by people trying to sell their books or beliefs. They use tambourines and bells to catch his attention, and to try and manipulate him into believing what they believe. The singer sees through their tactics and describes how he would rather not end up in heaven if it means having to deal with the believers.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the pushiness of religious people who try to force their beliefs and way of life onto others. It conveys a sense of frustration and annoyance with the constant bombardment of people trying to sell their religion.
