| Rise Against – Sometimes Selling Out Is Giving Up Lyrics
| 17 years ago

They sold long ago...right when Siren Song came out. They haven't been "true" since Revolutions. Also, Tim is a dick in real life. Really soured my opinion of these guys. Mr. Precision is awesome though, check out his current band Zero To Sixty. |

| Atom and His Package – The Palestinians Are Not The Same Thing As The Rebel Alliance, Jackass Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
Have you guys even READ what the freakin album liner notes say? Apparently not.
Atom says himself the song is about how a lot of left-leaning people jump so quickly to defend Palestinians, regardless of what they do, which makes them no better than those on the right who jump so quickly to defend Israel, regardless of what they do.
Atom himself is far from prowar, you dolt. |

| My New Life – Broken Heart In Hand Lyrics

Amazing song. The piano to "auld lang syne" at the end is beautiful, and really brings the album full circle. The song "auld lang syne" isn't just a song for the new year, but to remember those who have passed in the previous one. To me, that part symbolizes the close of that relationship for good, and perhaps the death of a former self, and he is looking onward for the new year. |

No one has commented on this song? Gah, this song is so effing beautiful....and extremely depressing too. I love it.
Maybe its just my ears, but i think it's "Now I've done one thing right, now I'm saying goodbye" but I could wrong. |

| Flogging Molly – Grace Of God Go I Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
Yes, it is "There for the Grace of God" not "therefore"
Yeah, this song appear to be about the famine.
However, the the line originally is "There, but for the Grace of God Go I." which actually originates from the persecution of protestants in England. The neighboring Irish later adopted the phrase. |

| Bad Religion – Sinister Rouge Lyrics

Jesuits are "The Society Of Jesus", a Catholic organization. They're educators...Jesuit universities are everywhere, including Georgetown, Saint Louis University, Holy Cross, Marquette, all of the Loyola universities, etc. As already said, "pontiff" is another word for Pope.
Yeah, this song is a take on catholics.
But Clark I disagree with the sentiment that Greg knows everything about religion simply because he's a doctor. Plenty of doctors happen to be Christian too, you know. None of his degrees even cover religion. |

NIMBY was (maybe still is) an actual political movement, supporting nuclear testing, building prisons, and a slew of other random things, as long as it's not near where someone lives so they wouldn't be negatively affected by any of it. (not in my back yard) |

To me, I think this song is more or less Armageddon in the album. It is prophecized in "The Rising End" and it is actually carried out here. |

| Joanna Newsom – Sadie Lyrics

I could be totally wrong, but I think this song is about a dog of hers that has since passed on. "White coat" could be referring to the color of the dog, "bury this bone" "dig up your bone" seem self explanatory. |

| Rancid – Sidekick Lyrics

Can't really say I like the line "every single cop got a bullet in the head"
They're just doing their job, not like they were doing it for a bad reason. (I know this song is fictional, bear with me). I mean really, bums living in abandoned buildings generally involves things like illegal drugs and all sorts of other illicit things.
Still a fun song. |

Hey, I like this song. Whatever happened to this band? Their website hasn't been updated in about two years. I guess they fell off the face of the earth before they ever took off. |

Well, he doesn't actually say "we shall mis him" but in the liner notes of the album the official lyrics say "we shall miss him" so I added it anyway. I assume they couldn't find a proper place to put it in the song but was in their intention to put it in. |

When I saw them live a few months ago Tim turned the last part into a sing-a-long and it was great. The whole crowd yelled during the backup vocals....the "ONE!" "GOOD!" parts. You know what I'm talking about. |

Nothing much to add to this song, other than I always laugh when I listen to this song, because it sounds like Billy is saying "Who wants that hiney?*"

Yikes. I like acoustic songs, but please, this just sucks. This is the worst "I'm an emotional rockstar" attempt I've seen in a long time. A crappy song on a mostly mediocre album. They should've waited instead of rushing another album so soon. |

I normally don't listen to this kind of music, but something about this song has me captivated. Her voice takes getting used to, but once you get over it its not so bad. Not to mention a pretty awesome music video, with the animations across a chalkboard. |

This song is really cool up until the breakdown part after the last chorus. it starts off fairly fast and upbeat, then they slow it down and they start bleeding estrogen or something. I don't get it. |

| Something Really Dirty – Daniel Lyrics

At the time, metrosexuality was the big fad....straight people acting gay. Still kind of it, I guess.
Though now that I read these lyrics, they seem to describe more of a transvestite, as opposed to a metrosexual. Deal with it.
This is one of my favorite songs to play, with my bad attempt at blues guitar in the verse, and the punk chorus. |

| Something Really Dirty – Jam Maestro Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
Honestly, we have no idea what the hell a jam maestro is when we wrote it, and we still don't. In our very first few jam sessions back in early 2003, I was combining words to see if anything cool came up. Back then we had a strict rule of all lyrics being created spontaneous, as we were jamming. Each time we practiced, some more lyrics were changed (spontaneously, of course) and now we have this.
This was our very first song, which is a sort of punk, sort of not, song. |

| Something Really Dirty – Ninjas and Pirates Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
Here's the background of the song:
In the summer of '03, me (jake - guitar/vocals) and ryan (drummer) had a huge fascination with ninjas, because they are so sweet. Ryan went around polling people to see their preferences regarding ninjas and their arch rival, the pirate. Strangely, most men preferred ninjas, and most women preferred pirates.
And thus, a song was born. |
