Who's on Your Side Lyrics
looking ahead not far away someday soon but not today things may get better things may get worse depending on who gets there first nothing in common nothing will change together we'll go our separate ways nothing to stop us from caving in someone's got to lose when someone wins
look at the world you're living in someday you'll have to pick a side for the rest of your life who's on your side
a voice in the dark a light in the haze a flame that burns then fades away alone in the night a ship lost at sea a state of emergency with no way of knowing what's coming next survival of who fits in best looking for answers but where to begin we all want to know how this one ends this isn't make believe a faded picture show as we drown you're slowly letting go

Dose er some darn good lyrics right dere, I'on care who y'are.
Great song, I don't know why nobody is posting here.
yeah it's a good song :-) nice lyrics
I like the music to this song, and to an extent the lyrics, but doesn't anyone think tha the lyrics are slightly forced? They don't flow nearly as well as lyrics crafted by Bad Religion etc. or even in some of their other songs. All a bit teen writey.
But yeah, i love Pennywise anyway!!!
wow fuck you crazypunkgirlXOxoXOxoGAY, thx for being concerned about the flow of the lyrics. actually the song flows fine and has real punk style to it. if you're worried about how a song flows and all that crap then analyze pop mainstream music, not punk you fucking poser.
anyway, i think this is song is about being aware of ppl around you and how trustworthy your friends or enemies are. it also comments on how willing ppl are to use and climb over others to succeed, possibly at other people's expenses. also sarcastically points out the problems with conformity and people's tendencies to give in to conformity to feel better about themselves.
@nyghtcrawler your first paragraph really is against everything that punk music stands for. Ironic that you call them a poser.

You should have kept it simply to your second paragraph, that way you would most likely have been rated up by others, and more would read your insightful take on the song rather than your hateful rant in the first paragraph.

@nyghtcrawler - o,o we don't take too kindly to opposing opinions, now do we?
The song seems to be about conformity ("survival of who fits in best"), the government ("Depending on who gets there first") and overall society through metaphors, and how you need to know who's on your side. It's like Pennywise is predicting the soon to be 2nd civil war of America, between the government and the people
