This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I don't want your fucking dogma,
I don't believe in what you preach,
I don't want your fucking bullshit,
You infect everyone you teach.
You offer prepacked salvation,
For the guilty chosen few,
You say we're all just sinners,
Say it to the altar boy you screw.
You make me sick with what you do.
Lies and guilt and hate, are what you spew.
You do it over and over and over again.
Take your god and shove it up your ass!
Ignoring real problems,
That you've hidden in denial,
Living in the past,
Ruining people's lives.
You talk about family values,
Well, I'll tell you that's a joke.
You talk about family values,
While on some young boy's cock you choke.
You make me sick with what you do.
Lies and guilt and hate, are what you spew.
You do it over and over and over again.
Take your god and shove it up your ass!
Treating women like they're servants,
Like they're baby factories.
Treating gays like some sickness,
You're so fucking diseased!
You say I can't beat off or screw,
Or else I'm going to hell,
I'll beat off right in your fucking face,
You think I fucking care?
You make me sick with what you do.
Lies and guilt and hate, are what you spew.
You do it over and over and over again.
Take your god and shove it up your ass!
I don't believe in what you preach,
I don't want your fucking bullshit,
You infect everyone you teach.
You offer prepacked salvation,
For the guilty chosen few,
You say we're all just sinners,
Say it to the altar boy you screw.
You make me sick with what you do.
Lies and guilt and hate, are what you spew.
You do it over and over and over again.
Take your god and shove it up your ass!
Ignoring real problems,
That you've hidden in denial,
Living in the past,
Ruining people's lives.
You talk about family values,
Well, I'll tell you that's a joke.
You talk about family values,
While on some young boy's cock you choke.
You make me sick with what you do.
Lies and guilt and hate, are what you spew.
You do it over and over and over again.
Take your god and shove it up your ass!
Treating women like they're servants,
Like they're baby factories.
Treating gays like some sickness,
You're so fucking diseased!
You say I can't beat off or screw,
Or else I'm going to hell,
I'll beat off right in your fucking face,
You think I fucking care?
You make me sick with what you do.
Lies and guilt and hate, are what you spew.
You do it over and over and over again.
Take your god and shove it up your ass!

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
I'm Catholic by birth, but don't follow Catholicism, so I can definitely understand some anger towards this religious entity. Especially because of the gay issue. They hate gays, but child-molesting priests are given divine favor, so they are okay for some reason...
Great song.
I Was Raised Christian And Am Also Bisexual... And when i came out i was told that it was 'not what god intended' and that 'i should be ashamed' Christian Do treat Gays Like A Disease... And The bible is one of the most sexist, homphobic, racist, hateful and contradicting books out... i would know... i've read it Fuck Christianity Fuck Catholicism Fuck The Pope
and "fuck you" cause you obviously never payed attention in church (if you even went into it)<br /> most bible stories are exagerations and not to be taken litterally.
haha :) my god, how long is this conversation been going on in here... Okay, I'm too lazy to read all the posts, but my opinion is: Gays are alright. Homophobic people are stupid. Religions suck. Most religious people are just so damn narrow-minded and judgemental idiots and rest of them are optimistic fools. I'm not judging ALL religious people, I'm just saying I mostly don't like religions and a lot of religious people can be annoying. But hey, it's your life believe in what you want as long as you shut up about it.
But you know, I just don't understand some of those religious values... like that pro-life, anti-abortion shit. I'm sorry, but it's just plain stupid. like, why the hell is human life so precious, but killing animals is alright? at least hitler was a vegetarian and tried to do good things for animals... ha :) I'm not saying hitler was a good person, I'm just saying It's all very relative.
oh and by the way.. Pakana Sielu, are you finnish?
Haha. This song is so unbelievably true. Did you know the Pope at the time of world war 2 was anti-semetic and didn't want to save any people from the Holocaust? Hate? I would say its just a passing observation...
Sorry some1_named_no_1, but you're kinda wrong there.
Catholics don't hate gays at all. They think it's a dangerous thing to practice but they don't HATE them.
Also, child-molesting priests are not given "divine favor". Many are excommunitcated. Not to mention, LESS than 1 % of priests in the church even molested, and many of those so called "molestations" were with adolescent males - so it's more like gay sex than total molestation.
"Did you know the Pope at the time of world war 2 was anti-semetic and didn't want to save any people from the Holocaust?"
You really ought to do your research on that one. Haha.
I have to say I am dissapointed with Anti Flag on this one. Disgusting.
I agree. <br /> some "extremist" catholic schools might not accept people with lesbians for parents, but that doesn't mean they are all like that.<br /> Not all Catholics are child molesters. well some are but then again some vegans and presidents and Jewish people and saints were. <br /> Besides, I'm an alter boy and I haven't been screwed yet...
It's just kinda upsetting. I mean, atleast The Damned weren't showing actual hatred in their song Anti Pope.
"I've got nothing against church Or the people who go there and show there". Unless that's sarcasm.
This song rocks. Go Anti-Flag!
by the way homosexuality is not practiced. it is not chosen. people who are gay cannot control it in any way.
just wanted to get that out there
Pakana Sielu, how would you know unless you are gay? You are an idiot. I know you arent gay because you said "people who are gay".. are you having some uncontrollable sexual urges?
bleach, why on Earth would this matter to you?
