| uhh... sure as a song its good but you gotta consider the source and likewise not take it too seriously. remember this is a song about rape on a cd with a title track about masterbation. im not implying that this song is meaningless, just suggesting that it might be out of place. | |

| great song! The last line in the first verse (the only one she wants is her best friend Claire) does not mean she's homosexual. It simply means she doesn't want anything to do with the guys that want her. She's "pretty fly for a white gal" and "all the guys want her" indicates she's pretty. Chances are, guys want her for booty; hence she only wants her best friend Clair to hang with, not to be used by guys for sex. | |

| this song is not about rape or GHB completely, it's three seperate stories in each verse. i'm not really sure about the first one (maybe homosexuality??), the second one is about the date-rape, and the third one is a Columbine-esque story of an isolated teen...anyway this song is amazing, Zebrahead have outdone themselves again by for once tackling some social issues instead of just party and trash-talking | |

| I disagree with all of you. i think this song is about how all this bad shit is happening to people, yet the same kind of people don't really care about it because it isn't happening to themselves "you can give a dime, give a hand, give a shit" this line pretty much sums up the fact that people don't really care about things that happen to others. 800,000 kids may have taken guns to school the other year but what's to say that they weren't scared, depressed, pissed or unstable? if we see people that don't look happy, or overly happy, we have to ask them what's de dillio? good song though, makes me think about how cruel people can subconsciously be. | |

Twenty-five percent of women report that they have been assaulted or raped by a current or former partner. Twenty-five percent of students have been victims of a violent crime that occurred in or around their school.

| by jeurs on 06-05-2002 @ 03:00AM Really great song... But what's the "but she has no clue, of the spike from the G to the H to the B" stuff? GHB = Gamma-HydroxyButyrate = The Date Rape Drug!!! A small amount of GHB mixed with alcohol can put you into a temporary coma, or kill you. In the song, the guys at the party spiked the girl's drink with GHB, which knocked her out, and then they raped her. So there's what the whole "But she has no clue, of the spike from the G to the H to the B" line means. Peace. | |

| This song gives me chills. It makes me feel like crying, but at the same time gives me hope. The message seems morbid, but its uplifting, the song tells us that no matter what happens, no matter what tradgedy you endure, that the world goes on and on and on. The sun will rise again tomorrow, and the birds will sing, every thing will be allright. Live on friends.... peace. | |

I think the latter verses are self-explanatory, but I really would like to know whether it's about the girl struggling with realizing her homosexuality, or whether guys just want her for sex, or what the meaning of the first verse is. Oh, and for as much as this isn't the kinda thing Zebrahead is known for, it's a hell of a good song. Probably one of the top few on the album, which is saying something. | |

| This song really makes me think. I like the little scenarios and how you really can't help but see the disturbing irony in all this. I think Zebrahead songs are kind of hard to throw your "spin" in interpretation because they seem pretty self-explanatory and easy to understand. This is no bash to them however, because they have a unique way of putting things into perspective. And this is no bash to any of you guys who threw in your interpretation. Coolgreens, that's a nice perspective. I do think that the fly white girl is gay. | |
