	This seems like Rancid's way of taking the supposedly "Stupid" punk kids and filling them in on big historical events and exposing them to the injustices. IMO too many kids rebel for the sake of rebelling, but this song gives reason to have distrust in society. LOVE IT!

	I think its fucking rad he mentioned poetry. I dont know of many other punk bands that have done that. but uhm. this song to me is about how controlling the government is and how supposeldy people are entitled to freedom of speach which, isn't true at all. you can saw whatever you want... until the governement doesent agrea with it. the first verse kinda makes me wonder. like maybe he wrote something the government didnt like but they are carrying it out because he looks different or something.... whatev.

	This song is of course about the protests at the Tiennenmen Square in China. This is one of my favorite things about Rancid - how they can take a specific event in history and write a song about it that doesn't end up sounding preachy. The only other punk band I can think of that could do it as well would be The Clash.

	The lyrics are wrong I think... "The dilemma PHENOMENA that you are about to witness" I could be wrong though. I don't think Life Won't Wait came with lyric book though did it? Well, in any case, that's what it sounds like to me.

	welli have the album with this on (indestructible) and in the bookelt their is an explanation of what the songs mean. An for this one tim said its written for anyone who has stood up when they were told to sit down, anyone who hs stood up for what they beleive in.

	I guess the Protests at Tiennemen sqaure is an extreme example of the message of "standing up"

No Picture The Four String Lead Player	#7 by The Four String Mother Fucker at Aug 5, 2007 at 8:42 PM EST
	Actually, the lines "It's so plain for me to see; my only weapon I call poetry" is one of my favourite lines from the entire song. It's obviously about Tiananmen Square, but I think that it uses that incident as a metaphor for standing up. I love Rancid for this, they have the most intelligent lyrics of any punk band out there, save perhaps The Clash, as freehat117 pointed out. In another Rancid song, "Start Right Now", they have the line "Machiavelli owns a machine gun now"..brilliant, really.
