what do you wanna be?
would you fight for your country?
why don't you pick up a gun
and shoot at somebody
but they're only gonna protect you
if that dollar sign is right
there's a war in every nation
but we turn our heads tonight
human rights went on vacation
money took over a long time ago
cry for this racial war
in all rwanda's glory
there ain't glory in a war
a black man or a white man
or an asian or a mexican
or an african or a south african
or a serbian or a libyian
you're all one race, the human race
a different smile for a different face

    It's pretty straight forward. I love how this band can be so political, while not totally bashing our country. Most bands like that are just "Fuck the U.S. Anarchy RULES!" The Bandits are above it. Gah! Great song.

    Amazingly relevant song, by an amazingly underated band. Great song about the way people treat people that are different from us. "we are one race, the human race" great line that pretty much explains the entire song. love this band.

    Does anyone know if this song has anything to do with the genocide of the Tutsis by the Hutus in 1994 in Rwanda?

    Actually, yeah. Too bad these people don't know the whole story huh Midtown? I suggest the above go out and do some research, and while it has a strong message of one face, one race, it's still founded in the decimation of the Rwandan people.

    While I do agree with the Bandits that the U.S. should have intervened during the Rwanda genocide, you have to understand that this was following a botched peace-keeping attempt in Somalia which tainted the Clinton admin's relations with Africa. But like I said, something should have been done to stop genocide like this.

    the genocide was horrible yes, but its not getting better. Rwanada is still a country without little electricity, and the force that had caused the massacre and fled rwanda into surrounding countries are being kicked out of the surrounding countries, has plans of coming back.

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.

Alma Matters

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
