The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Here we go...Another day, another strike
Here we go...It's the living sacrifice
Here we go...Against your bullshit ways
Here we go...Against your false pretend

Here we go...I'd rather die on my feet
Here we go...Than keep living on my knees
Here we go...Another day, another strike
Here we go...Jumpdafuckup and fight
Here we go...Another place, another tribe
Here we go...No, we won't take your bribe
Here we go...Another day, another night
Here we go...With this music unite
Here we go...Another freedom fight
Here we go...God bless me inside

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
i juss heard this song for the 1st tyme last night at mah friends house. its kik ass!
this song is awsome.
Does this have anything to do with Sept 11 or anything my mate told me it was about the bombing / fighting / searching for osama going on in afghanistan the lyric SEEK 'N' STRIKE seems to reference this they are having missile strikes and seeking or searching and mot of the other song is to like another day , another night seems to symbolize an ongoing fight i dunno this is just what i got told
i really dunno the meaning to this but its just so beefy, max cavalera has one of those oftne imitated rarely duplicated voices that just punch a hole in you and fire u up
This song is about standing against those who oppose you , "I would rather die on my feet than keep living on my knees" is something Emilano Zapatta (sp?) once said (Mexicans were being foreced to surrender their land, he led a fight against it), and basically he was talking about how if you live by someone elses rules, you are'nt really living at all, you are a slave and a pussy, if you stand to fight for what you believe, you may get killed, bu at least you are part of the solution and yuo are dying with honour.
i love this song! i heard it ages ago, it'd be so cool to see them live. this song doesnt have many comments :S
oh and it's not "Then get blood on my knees" it's "Than keep living on my knees"
Now that i look at it, you've made more mistakes, here's the correct lyrics:
Here we go...Another day, another strike Here we go...It's the living sacrifice Here we go...Against your bullshit ways Here we go...Against your false pretend
Here we go...Another day, another hour Here we go...Take back the power Here we go...I'd rather die on my feet Here we go...Than keep living on my knees
Here we go...Another day, another strike Here we go...Jump the fuck up and fight Here we go...Another place, another tribe Here we go...No, we won't take your bribe
Here we go...Another day, another night Here we go...With this music unite Here we go...Another freedom fight Here we go...God bless me inside

LOVE THIS SONG. It makes me wanna get involved in a revolution, I'd say start one but I'd be a terrible leader. I always thought it was "Shut the fuck up and fight" but jump does sound right :S Oh well kick ass song either way
