| i think the first part about the guy that shaves off his head and stuff is about a guy who joins the millitary but i duno could also be a skin head, what do you guys think? | |

| Yer i always thought it was the army. But i think the song is more about street violence so it being about a skin makes sense. | |

| I think the first part, "he shaved off his hair, put boots on his feet and said this was his country" is about a skinhead neonazi kid who fucked up and got shot. Then, "there once was a kid from south central LA, who threw up his set all day" is aboot a crypt kid(cuz the blue thing) flashing "sets" or "gang signs" if you will, then he "throws his set" to the wrong guy, who happens to be someone else, a blood. So they fight.... and the let's just all hang out is basically another way to say fuck this violence bullshit and let's set aside our differences... I really enjoi this song, it's got great content and music to it.... | |

| I agree with PHYSCO that is what it is about...gangs and things of that sort. Fighting for stupid reasons. One of my faves though all their songs rock! | |
