obviously the song deals with the stockholm syndrome itself. but to tie the song to the apocalyptic theme of the album, i think matt is singing about we as a society feeling sympathy and loaylty for our political leaders, when in reality they are all just screwing us over. |

idk if anyone here sees what i see but it seems to me that the worldly meaning behind this song and the 2012 prophecy could perhaps be related somehow.... |

its probably got a double meaning. Stockdale probably wanted to make it seem like it was about drugs, but then truly right it about something that means more, hence the LA/Hollywood explanation. |

i absolutely love this song it is by far one of my favorite rage songs and i cannot believe that this song was not poular in its time. I think Zach's lyrics to the song are his best work to date. Township Rebellion's lyrics are very special, i believe, because it takes on an issue that everyone alive can relate to, which is basic human rights. Within the song, Zach talks about what true oppression and violation of someone's human rights would be like, and calls for people who are caught in these horrible situations to take a stand against the bastards responsible in one of two ways: kill the motherfuckers who unjustly keep you down, or fight the war of class and authority itself, and attempt to bring peace to your incident. Don't, however (as Zach describes it) "sit on a silent platform." Don't pussyfoot around and ignore this stuff, because tehn YOU allow people's basic rights as humans to be destroyed. Zach compares this general topic to specific situations like South Africa's apartheid era, and (then) contemporary South Central Los Angeles (i.e. Rodney King and the L.A. Riots). His words remind me of people like MLK or Gandhi, who were very special people in the fact that they got over their appalling situations without violence. The song preaches to be non-violent and peacekeeping, but it also asks "how much abuse can a man take before he has to go ape-shit with a shotgun?" This song teaches a lesson to all that it is only natural to fucking massacre someone if they don't stop stepping all over you. The lyrics for this song stand out when compared to the lyrics of other rage songs. They will forever perfectly apply to human life until we as a species are extinct because it is simply human nature to dominate others and rule over them. Township Rebellion looks at this human law and praises the downtrodden in this situation, because it is only fair and practical to give the lesser-fortunate a chance to kick the shit out of the ruling class and reign themselves. THAT is a human right. |

it makes sense to me that the song is about the media as a whole constantly attacking the five band members, hence the "five against one" lines |
