We're Only Gonna Die For Our Own Arrogance Lyrics
Early man walked away as modern man took control their minds weren't all the same to conquer was their goal So he built his great empire and he slaughtered his own kind He died a confused man killed himself with his own mind
Early man walked away as modern man took control their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal So he built his great empire and he slaughtered his own kind He died a confused man and he killed himself with his own mind...LET'S GO!!

this song kinda makes me think of hitler
More often that not, Bad Religion's lyrics are more statements about human kind in general than about particular people and incidents. This song is about modern civilization and how it is slowly destroying what it means to be human. Most of the BR album this is taken from (How Could Hell Be Any Worse?) is in the same vein.
Guys, this song is generally about what the title implies - in very broad terms, Sublime is saying that being arrogant only gets you in trouble. The best part about this song is that the guitars play along perfectly with the lyrical message of the song. The band gets more and more arrogant as the song goes on - they play faster and faster as if to prove that they are really good and can do really awesome things with their guitars and drums and etc... but at the end they convey their message that they are trying to get along. Just chill, take your time (in life, in general), and have fun out there! Notice how they play very slowly as they sing this part, to symbolize their message of taking their time. Even the last word of the song "time", is dragged out "tiiiiiiimmmmmeeee". Friggin' brilliant stuff!
yeah sublime! i love the part of this song..hell i just love sublime :-)
This song is ok, but the Bad Religion version is much better.
This song is about, how, we think about ourselves too much, and how slowly but surely it kills us over time. great sublime song.
@xSuBliMex it is originally done by Bad Religion

this song is originally by bad religion...so it isn't really a SUBLIME song so to speak
i haven't heard the original song but I like this one very much..the lyrics are great and I know I'm gonna like the Bad Religion song surely...=] sublime rocksssssss
Biohazard also covered this song if you want a more 'Rock/Metal' version of it. I used to listen to them alot before I got into Ska stuff.
i prefer this version to BR.
