The band just uses one guitar for this song so if you want, use Guitar 1 when there are
parts and just let the bass play.

No Picture Jon Lead Player	#3 by Jon Shuffler at Sep 30, 2007 at 10:13 AM EST
	It's a catchy song, too bad they're talking about war... since someone I know died in war. It's a little depressing.

No Picture Kieran Average	#4 by Kieran Molloy at Sep 30, 2007 at 1:39 PM EST
	I love the sarcastic anti-war lyrics, great song.

No Picture Ace Average	#5 by Ace Of Spades at Sep 30, 2007 at 1:54 PM EST
	The video is trippy but kool. It goes well with the music. But the lyrics make them sound like a bunch of whiny liberals (don't get me wrong, conservatives suck equally as much). It would sound better if Rage Against the Machine were singing the lyrics.

No Picture lewi Wanna Be	#6 by lewi broadway at Oct 1, 2007 at 1:21 AM EST
	wow im the only one to comment! alright! good for me! i like this band theyre good i like the message theyre sending out the songs pretty self explanitory

No Picture tim Average	#7 by tim martin at Oct 7, 2007 at 1:33 AM EST
	Sounds like exaggerated satire directed at the American look on war. There's also the line on how you're allowed to drive a tank before you're allowed to drink. =P Nice beat too.

No Picture JJ Average	#8 by JJ at Oct 7, 2007 at 2:51 PM EST
	This song has quite the political message. Basically it's about wat, and how as Americans We're entitled to a death for our country, I'm pretty sure its sarchastic, but it's still a great song. It's got quite a disco feel, if you watch the video.

No Picture Dylan Rhythm Player	#9 by Dylan Fitzgerald at Oct 10, 2007 at 4:10 AM EST
	Either this song is literal, or it's a low blow to American culture. It depends on what the band says about it first. To me, the music of the song is awesome, but if the lyrics are literal...I could care less about the song.

No Picture †§ean† Average	#10 by †§ean† at Oct 13, 2007 at 1:13 PM EST
	Again it's up to interpretation, I'll take their anti-war song and I'll make it my battle song.

No Picture _Heretic_ Wanna Be	#11 by _Heretic_ at Oct 17, 2007 at 5:27 AM EST
	I'm kinda sick of all these songs having political meanings, but I can't help but sing & dance to this one.
