Take Warning Lyrics
stand by your freinds, wrong or right
can't call that justice when its just a stupid excuse to fight
single out and attack the ones who got no defense
you call that a new way of thinking i call it regression to ignorance
take warning
theres a new generation coming
and we really gotta stand up to them
nobodys got a thing against you
unless youve got something to prove
we dont need no set of standards,
we dont need a new set of rules
heard all that shit before
about stomping out any difference
we say stand together
(not to fight just to exist)
take warning
intimidation coming
and we really gotta say no to them
enough is enough is enough
why dont you just ease up
I saw another beat down last nite take warning
who's the next to hit the ground tonight take warning
can't call that justice when its just a stupid excuse to fight
single out and attack the ones who got no defense
you call that a new way of thinking i call it regression to ignorance
take warning
theres a new generation coming
and we really gotta stand up to them
nobodys got a thing against you
unless youve got something to prove
we dont need no set of standards,
we dont need a new set of rules
heard all that shit before
about stomping out any difference
we say stand together
(not to fight just to exist)
take warning
intimidation coming
and we really gotta say no to them
enough is enough is enough
why dont you just ease up
I saw another beat down last nite take warning
who's the next to hit the ground tonight take warning

Its about nazi skinheads. Go download some of their bootlegs, or get the Gilman St. live cd. He flat out says, its about nazi skinheads.
I think this song is pretty straightforward, so no interpretation necessary. I just want to say that this is the catchiest bloody song in the universe. It embeds itself in my brain!
Why hasn't anyone else besides us commented on this Song? This song, in my own opinion, is truly above par.
I think this is one of op ivy's best song....everyone should follow this song
For all the people who don't understand it I'll throw in my 2 cents worth.
I think the song is about all the fighting in the east bay scene when Jesse Michaels was a teen. "Stand by your friends, wrong or right, can't call that justice if it's just a stupid excuse to fight" It's about fighting for your friends no matter the circumstance. Which Jesse was opposed to. He preached Unity, not Violence. Well I guess I could go into more detail, but I'm not going to. Op Ivy is dead... Now so is Common Rider, jesus christ, when is Jesse gonna stick with a band for more than a few years?
yeah..both op ivy and Common Rider ruled...unfortunately common rider never got the recognition they deserve. this song is about retaining your own values amongst a crowd.
OneThirdOfCTW, you asked the question i've wanted answered for a while now.
If it wasn't evident already, this is one of my favorite songs by Operation Ivy.
who cares.......this song just rules.....
This is defintiely one of their best. It's a lot slower and more reggae-styled than most of their other songs, kind of a taste of things to come with Common Rider. I saw another beat down last nite take warning......
haha i remember hearing this song when i was trippin on acid and it made me so happy. me and my friends ended up walking down to the store to buy some Airheads and Sprite. it was great, we were singing the song and skankin the whole way there. everyone was like "what the fuck is wrong with these fools??". good times.
