All of us believe
That this is not up to you
The fact of the matter is
That it's up to me
Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey, Hey
Let's Go
How can we fake this anymore
Turn our backs away, and chose to just ignore
(Some say) Some say it's ignorance
It makes me feel some innocence
(Some say) It takes away a part of me
But I won't let go
Tell me why can't you see, it's not the way
When we all fall down, it will be too late
Why is there no reason we can't change
When we all fall down, who will take the blame
What will it take
Nothing could ever be this real
A life unsatisfied that I could never feel
(Some Say) This future's not so bright
Some can't make the sacrifice
(Some Say) It's much more than just black and white
And I won't follow
Tell me why can't you see, it's not the way
When we all fall down, it will be too late
Why is there no reason we can't change
When we all fall down, who will take the blame
What will it take
Times like these I've come to see how,
Everything but time is running out
Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey, Hey
What
All of us believe in what we need
What we have's what we don't see
Tell me why can't you see, it's not the way
When we all fall down, it will be too late
Why is there no reason we can't change
When we all fall down, who will take the blame
What will it take
Tell me why can't you see, it's not the way
(so how long, has this gone on, i don't see this ending)
When we all fall down, it will be too late
(it's too late, we can't change, what has now begun)
Why is there no reason we can't change
(we act like, its not right, why are we pretending)
When we all fall down, who will take the blame
(we've been wrong, for so long)
What will it take
(we've known this all along)

I think it's about hopelessness on a big scale...as in the world. There are so many problems, and he's basically saying there is "no reason" or excuse to wait around, because "when we all fall down, it will be too late" and there will be blame thrown around, when it's really equally everyone's fault for being passive.
2003 the band Morning glory made the song 'We just dont belive' Peapole say sum took/stole the intro from that song and i belive that's true, for a genius reason. Listen to that song and watch the cover of the album, there u got ur meaning.
Nice hidden messages in a awsome fucking song!
wtf? this is an awesome song........no one commented?
This is an absolutely amazing song. Its fast paced, has a nice melody to it, and gets down to the point. I like how Deryck upped the anti on his lyrical preformance. It's amazing. Definately a great song.
I got the impression that this song has something to do with war, when I listen to it. Nothing in the lyrics persay, but just a general feeling you get from the song.
I noticed the first line in the third paragraph is from a Linkin Park song, even in the melody.
Yeah, its from their song, One Step Closer. Only difference is, Chaz says:

i think that this song is about trying hard but not being able to do it..
i agree with acid reverie hopelessness for sure.
This song is awsome i have been such a big fan! of Sum 41 for so.. many years... and there music is always getting better..... So why do people keep putting them down? they are an awsome band.
