Robb Flynn reportedly wrote the track in 40 minutes the day after the US presidential election. Speaking to the That's Not Metal podcast, he said that it was based on a very difficult conversation that he had with my kids. "I was really affected by it. And I just sat down the next day and started writing. And, basically, the first half of it, at least, is based on that conversation. And then it just went on. And then I went into my own thing, and it literally just vomited out of my brain in order and in sequence, and when it was done, I was, like, 'Woah! Holy s--t! I'm saying some shit here."
The song itself is an anthem of resilience and optimism in the face of adversity, encouraging us to stand strong against those who seek to demonize and oppress races, despite their attempts to grind us down. In the face of hatred, racism, and bigotry, it calls for activism, inclusivity, and encourages us to stand together in solidarity with middle fingers raised, despite their attempts to divide us, and understand that everyone deserves to be free and safe. It tells us that we are responsible for educating our youth and that we have to fight for a world that will be better for our children and future generations.
