When I look 'round, I only see outta one eye
As the smoke surrounds my head, the sauna
I hear the voices, but I can't make out their words
Saying things, saying things that
I got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
I feel unusual from thinking
About the underground decay, God help me
Kill beneath the camera, watch the world begin to cry
It's not from pity, it comes from
What's been sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
As the smoke surrounds my head, the sauna
I hear the voices, but I can't make out their words
Saying things, saying things that
I got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
I feel unusual from thinking
About the underground decay, God help me
Kill beneath the camera, watch the world begin to cry
It's not from pity, it comes from
What's been sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye

'Kill beneath the camera, watch the world begin to cry' is a scene all in itself, to be considered as "one" and not two separate things, as it's referenced again "_IT_ comes from what's been stickin in my eye", "_IT_" being the aforementioned scene -- killing on TV and the misery that follows. "The killing" is caused by the imbalance of wealth in the world, insulating some and (quietly) starving others.
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
"When I look 'round, I only see outta one eye" ; "I hear the voices, but I can't make out their words" - those lines are about how the world got so misunderstood and fucked up that you get confused
the smoke and the asuna stand for the preasure
"It's not from pity, it comes from What's been sticking in my eye" - you get upset but you try to be blind and strong so you say you got somethin' stickin in your eye
idk a may be wrong
fat mike is a drug user
he always has been
in backstage passport he says i saw death sentence and drugs in the same sentence and thats what you dont want to see especially for a drug user
and he goes and takes drugs in the video
he says its not drug abuse because its not abusing a substance its just using it
I agree with Telot, that seems like a very minor meaning to the song, but it seems fitting. I also agree with TheYellowZebra and lukefun, those also seem like good meanings. The only way to find out is by asking Fat Mike, which I don't think most of us can do.

"As the smoke surrounds my head"
-Unlike now, punk shows USED to be freakin awesome and be in clubs where you could smoke...though nofx has more than one song about how they hate cig smoke - it was a mainstay of a punk show.
..."the sauna!"
-A mosh pit is like a sauna with all the jumping/moshing/pushing/skanking/fighting, it turns into a massive sweat lodge - just try and leave a mosh pit without at least 50 peoples sweat.
"I hear the voices, but I can't make out their words"
-Just like at a punk show - no matter how loud it is, you can't really hear the words...you just have to know them
So ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I maintain that my client, verse number one of Sticking in my Eye is really all about being at a punk show and getting jabbed in the eye with a mohawk.
