| Lucky Boys Confusion – Arizona Stand Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
so ya...it's been awhile since a comment. But my understanding (though I don't know much about LBC) is that their friend died doing the drugs or drug related activities. I'm sure you all know, but this song is referenced in the LBC song "Do You Miss Me (Killians)" off of the "Throwing The Game" album. |

| Anti-Flag – Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Thelastpunkkid: I googled the book and it tells basically about what happened, and it isn't a hitman saying no. Basically, there were the "economic hitmen" who would lend governments of poor emerging countries large amounts of money that they could never repay so the U.S government took over their economies. If the leaders of the countries refused to allow the "economic hitmen" to do their job, the jackals were let loose (actual CIA hitmen). Torrijos and Roldos both died in plane crashes, but the author of the book (who was an "economic hitman") said that it wasn't an accident and it was the CIA who had them killed since they wouldn't go along with the plan set forth by the U.S. |

| Streetlight Manifesto – Dear Sergio Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Streetlight Manifesto actually re-did "Keasby Nights" (originally done by Catch 22). Streetlight Manifesto changed some instrumental parts and added lyrics (as seen in this song). I suggest everybody listen to the new album, it's good. | |
| John Lennon – Happy X-Mas (War Is Over) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Just because they signed up for the military doesn't mean they wanted to kill somebody (or be killed themselves) Sure they knew the risks, but not everybody joins the military because they really, really want to. There are many people who live in horrible conditions and have no schooling (since they can't afford it) and the military is the best way (as they see at the time) for them to leave the poverty that is their lives. I personally don't like the "war" (it isn't a war since Congress never officially declared war) in Iraq and I think before the United States goes to "help" other countries out we should focus on internal issues, such as poverty, homelessness, hunger and other issues plaguing every major city and the majority of the smaller towns. Also, back to the military, just because they sign up doesn't mean they get to do what they want. My step-brother was supposed to do coimputer stuff for the Marines and they told him all that but when he actually enlisted they changed what they would have him do (of course, it was his mistake of not getting it in writing) but he was lucky enough not to have shipped to Afghanistan or Iraq. There are also National Guard (and Reserve) units being sent over to Iraq who most of the people enlisted never thought they would have to see combat, but they were wrong. This country has so many problems (mainly financial) and I think if the President and his cronies would cut military budgets that could save the country a lot of money. But hell, what do I know anyway? |

| Anti-Flag – Zapatista, Don't Give Up Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song got me interested in the whole Zapatista/Chiapas movement for freedom. I believe they should have their land and the Mexican government should leave them alone. But this is a good song. | |
| Kataklysm – As I Slither Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This is one of the songs that they played when I saw them live. It was amazing. | |
