Today I can't stand listening to them because of the lyrics, and I personally think Jello Biafra is a left wing loonie, wish I had a dad growing up to stear me clear of that garbage.

Interesting. I'm not, and never have been, a super huge DK fan but I still like them—as well as other Jello projects—and I find Jello's lyrics entertaining. For me they've aged well because they're humorous and sarcastic, unlike someone like Zack de la Rocha whose self-righteously earnest lyrics I've come to find more annoying over time.
