How can I fight for your country, When your country won't fight for me? How can I pray to your god, When you force me to believe? Fuck your schools, fuck your rules, Fuck you and your boundaries, How can you try to control me When you don't even know me? Numbers in the computer, The numbers are getting stronger, How can you glorify bloodshed? Don't tell me about sacrifice, You're god died for his sins, And now I'll die for mine. Fuck your schools, fuck your rules, Fuck you and your boundaries!

    Well I have to say I completely agree with this song... -lol- "How can I pray to your god, When you force me to believe?" I was recently forced to do my confirmation and I got a bad religion shirt witha crossed out cross and I have to return it, even if I don't even believe in God, cuz my whole family is religiously oppressed. But anyways, BigWig is a great band, i luv this song :P

    uhm.. The "how can I fight for your country, when your country wont fight for me" is referring to the govt. that is just sitting back and doing nothing, while normal people get screwed out of simple things.. lol ithas nothing to do with how loud you play your music.

    This is my fav. bigwig song along with Mr. Asshole. And what they say in the two songs is realistic. That's one of the reasons I like them. The beat rulez too.

    I think the lyrics to this song are great, I think people should definately be allowed to believe what they they want to and be whoever they want to be without being harassed for it.

    Awesome song. The meaning is obvious. I love the little ska part they put into the song. Hardcore plus Ska breakdown is awesome, just as in the song Capsule by the Suicide Machines

    I saw Bigwig like two weeks after Sept 11th and they opened with this song. I think an eagle cried somewhere.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
