	I don't think this is an anit-American song at all. It's just talking about how Americans in gerneral don't really seem to listen to Christians. We're puresecuted by people for what we believe, yet they all yell about free speech and stuff like that. So, for the most part, this song is about christians and non christians together.

No Picture Jeff Average	#2 by Jeff Mensch at Sep 29, 2007 at 4:11 AM EST
	Im agreeing with cowbell love on this one, although i feel the lines "and I swear we were born to let you down, we scream but never make a sound" applies alot more to youth than anyone has suggested.

No Picture sammy Average	#3 by sammy shaffer at Sep 29, 2007 at 8:29 AM EST
	I heard this song on the radio, and this is the final straw. I like a lot of Hawk Nelson- I'm going to get this cd :). 1

	What the heck is wrong with people!! No comments!! Wow I am really sad about myself. I just heard this song, on some one myspace! Lol... Anyways I think this song is about discrimination or terroist How us Americans or whatever other country are to them. I might be totally wrong but my friend is Brazilian and she said thats was she thinks of the song. I agree with her. I think. anyways say bye to molly!! O /\|\ /\

No Picture Eric Average	#5 by Eric Boozer at Sep 30, 2007 at 6:01 PM EST
	i agree with lazblack. very catchy song though. my favortie line is "they dissect everything we say" cause thats so true.

No Picture Gary Wanna Be	#6 by Gary Rossington at Oct 2, 2007 at 1:14 AM EST
	I disagree with cowbell love those lines go "And I swear we were born to let you down we scream but never make a sound we point but don't know which direction we are america right now" These lines sound to me like a conversation with God. Possibly about UNHEARD and unanswered pray (I believe that God WONT hear prayer if the prayer has unconfessed sins, and boy does AMERICA have a lot of those right now)

No Picture David Average	#7 by David Turner at Oct 3, 2007 at 4:06 AM EST
	I think this song is about non christians and christians, like some people said above... how they question everything about what we say, and about God, and how he exicts.

No Picture Rich Average	#8 by Rich Frazer at Oct 3, 2007 at 5:40 AM EST
	I also don't think it's anti- American either. He is just pointing out the fact that even his own people don't care. Even to the point of persecution... but he makes a couragous statement when he says the chorus. That fires me up to go on everytime I hear it. What can they do? Humiliate?! Slander?! Kill...that does not change the fact that I'm a child of the most high king God Almighty!? : D. Don't get me wrong it's so hard to take it into perspective, but when I truly think about it I rejoice when I'm called to suffer for His sake.

No Picture Brandon Wanna Be	#9 by Brandon Stephenson at Oct 3, 2007 at 9:13 PM EST
	WOW....First of all there can be so many different imterepations for this song it's not even funny I agree with our.lady.of.sorrows when she says "I think this song might be about rebellion and how people always doubt you before they trust you." That is deffinatly one part of this song Also this is a very anti american song..."Cuz we point the finger Think everyone else is to blame" Meaning people are very discriminating because they look at everyone elses faults and flaws before we look at ourselfs they are simply saying "Have you ever asked me what makes me the way I am? Before you start judging me, or anyone for that matter.. Remember, you're not perfect either. Not everyone thinks the way you do. People don't have to live up to your expectations." and so on.... They are shaking their fists at American becuase they are talking about how America Effects our children in negetive ways. "we scream but never make a sound" That meaning they are trying their hardest to get their point across and be heard but no one has the patients or time to listen to them. They just they don't want to listen to a word they are saying because The government is stuck up and don't think anyone is right except themselfs. "we point but don't know which direction" falsely accusing someone without any knowledge Or proof they acually did something wrong. They don't know who did it so they are pinning the blame on someone innocent. We Are America right now. think about it

	The one part that I'm not sure about is "How can I hold the gun". If you think you know the correct lyrics, please let me know. Currently, you can hear this song on hawk nelson's purevolume - www.purevolume.com/hawknelson - or find it on their new cd, Smile, It's the End of the World, which comes out April 4th.

No Picture Austin Average	#11 by Austin Cook at Oct 6, 2007 at 8:45 PM EST
	Woah. No other comments. How catchy is the hook of this song? ....Very. "They dissect everything we say"- truest words spoken in the whole song. I think this song might be about rebellion and how people always doubt you before they trust you.

No Picture Jack Average	#12 by Jack at Oct 6, 2007 at 10:38 PM EST
	this song is talking about how the world can take everything that a christian has and how we will always have something to hold onto even when the world takes it all..we'll still have God
