	They say what few have the balls to say, and I admire them for saying it. Sometimes I can't listen to this song, but when I can it just grips me, I guess because I can feel some of my own anger in this song. And maybe I wish I had had someone to stand up for me like that then.

	I love this song. The way it sounds, what it means, everything. "And I Would have a hard time facing you. This crime; The shame of what a man can do. I want to die For all the Hell that you've been through." Brilliance, to say the least.
