The Foo Fighters are the greatest band who ever walked the earth. I know Dave Grohl is a musical genius and a beast--- for SURE. but someone has to give the rest of them (Chris Shiflett, Nate Mendel, and Taylor Hawkins) some credit, cause despite the rumor, I don't think Dave is a frontman and does everything. Everyone helps and that why even though they're getting older, they're getting better. I listen to one of their songs every single day and I have exactly 100. Each album is great in its own way I really can't choose. Except for the ever powering Everlong...but Aint it the Life is up there... ANYWAY I think Ain't it the Life is about--------------- Haley is an actor friend of his, and as the mocking "Stacked Actors" states he doesn't like them. He's saying sarcastically, "save me from my great life!", and then realistically "for god sakes, whats so great about being an actor you barely get by!" Hey wait i thought you made the fake crown on your head? Since you think you're so great, why am i making your sense of importance leave you? Why are you always tired? get soem sleep and think about that! Try living your life like that doing the same thing all the time, just wasting time and waiting for WHAT?! I LOOK ORDINARY but I'm different than you other celebrities because in a time of crisis i have real emotions <as such> and its not fake... You can quit and stay dong the same thing every day--god job actors!!--- (basically) or you can leave and do whatever you want in the world--within the divide--the divide of fame. once you go theres no going back. Throughout the chorus Dave and the Foo Fighters basically sit back and say "wow" ain't it the life? while they're having a great time being a band.... i know i have no life [gasp]
