| People are scared of death, and having nothing afterwards. Giving your money to a mass of churches who pretend to have your best intentions at heart will not save you. If there is a god or if there isnt a god these millions of priests who just want to be rich will not help you find him. Believe in what you think is true, not what the others say is true. Don't fear what you don't know, there is no real way to tell what happens after death so just enjoy yourself when you're alive cos if youve given your whole life to god, and when your on your death bed you start to doubt if it's true, your gonne be pretty pissed! | |

| shodowwiththeeyes, i agree with you. nowwa' days if you want to help make the world a better place you're a "flaming liberal", the only way to be a "good ol' american" is to be a ignorant, homophobic, closet racist. | |

| i'm fucking sick of punk bands targetting Christianity instead of the people who warp the true beliefs and ideals into something less honorable. Religion is not the problem, and for that matter, organized religion is not the real problem either. it's the people who try to use religion to benefit for their own worldly good and are not living humble and peaceful lives that are giving religion a tainted connotation. | |

| The song is basically pointing out that the problems of the country aren't the fault of just a few people, but of everybody (that's true for most of the world as well.). When Jim Lindberg says "they're all the same" in this song, he's not just generalizing about the right-wing, as most people think he is. Just because these guys have strong beliefs doesn't mean that anything political that they say is just an attack on the poeple who don't agree with them. I belive you're thinking of Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh (okay, okay, and Michael Moore too, i guess). Back to the song... he's basically explicitly criticising leaders and poeple with power of exploiting others for their own gain, and saying that there's no difference between all the groups and people that do this, because the outcome is always the same -- things become worse for everyone else. He's also implicitly criticising the poeple who'll bitch about things without being a part of a solution. That's esentially what the song is about, it's not so much about pointing out that things have gone wrong, but about pointing out what exactly is wrong to make them better. So if H2AF wants to define making the world a better place as being 'leftist', be my guest. | |
