This song is a parody of sappy power ballads, which were very prominent in the commercial metal scene at the time. It’s title is a reference to another Anthrax song – Efilnikufesin (N.F.L.). When the title is put backward, it reads “nise fukin ballad”.
The first 2 verses contain prototypical ballad...
[Verse 1]
We fell in love at first sight
I can't explain the feelings
When I first saw you
We were so, so happy
A lifetime of love, sweet honey child
You'll always be mine
[Verse 2]
But then I played the fool
I never meant to hurt you
Or sleep with all your friends, oh
We reconciled, we found ourselves
Our love was meant to be
Oh baby, can't you see, oh
[Guitar Solo: Dan Spitz]
[Verse 3]
Oh, you left me standing in the mud
Crying to myself
A heart so full of pain
But we fell in love again
This time forever
True love prevails over all
She got hit by a truck
[Outro]
Boohoo (Joey, Joey, get me some tissue)
