Except it's the spoiled losers rioting instead of people who are actually downtrodden. The poorest people in the U.S. are still richer than most of the world.
I think many people misunderstand the meaning of the video. It's not encouraging terrorism or chaos at all, rather it's saying that government negligence, corruption and other bullshit could eventually lead to the tragic ending of the video, a situation that no one wants. Basically telling the government to sort their shit out before things get to this horrific and extreme example.
Totally. It's highlighting all the fucked up things we'd rather spend money on: the military, saving companies like Exxon, and lining the pockets of the pieces of shit that ruin this world. It's a call to action; for peaceful protest and civil disobedience.
It's crazy how this song is a decade old and still completely accurate of the situation of poverty and injustice in American ghetto's... I don't understand how not a single person in a position of political power hasn't been pressured enough to fix anything
It's pretty simple..."what's in it for me?" The vast majority of people are selfish. Figure out how to sell them something that they need or want and you'll lift yourself out of poverty.
Simple answer. It is not someone else's job to fix it but your own. If you are counting on the government to fix it that is the same as a cow taking in more feed before they become steak. Nothing has ever been earned the easy way. Strong people create good times. Good times create weak people. Weak people create bad times. Bad times create strong people. This has been the way for all of history.
Rise Against songs always have these deeply ethical discussions in the comment section. Good to see that people can discuss some things in a more decent way.
I've gotta say that punk is not about having a mohawk, earrings or being an "Anarchist"... Punk is standing up against something that wrong! Thank you Rise Against for opening my eyes!
@@skullthunder3181 being an anarchist means being against the all systems of hierarchy. That's why we want to abolish state as an oppressive tool. It's not just about "abolishing the state" though, that kind of shallow thinking is what breeds stupid shit like "anarcho" capitalism. Bunch of idiots. So, at the core of the thought, I believe, anarchism means being against everything that's wrong. That means being against patriarchy, capitalism, state, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, ecocide, and all kinds of wrongs caused by social hierarchies that are oppressive and and destructive. Anarchism is not chaos
***** With a good education you'd know that smugness and name calling do not an argument make. These "facts" are easily twistable statistics speaking in broad generalizations.

That would be neat, though there's probably some risk of getting in trouble now if you release a "new" music video that appears to condone domestic terrorism
well yes that´s true, and unfortunately in these crisis times (Corona-Pandemic, Climate-Crisis), it´s not only the rich getting richer, the poor becoming poorer, BUT the whole bloddy thing just accelerated. poor people are worst hit by the crisis, while Bezos and Co. gained unbelievable amounts of profit. Capitalism is at its end and it won´t change through reforms and voting! For a social revolution worldwide!
While I agree with the song and MOST of its messages some are unfortunately scientifically refutable and there is evidence that supports some of the analytics displayed in this video are either flat out wrong or completely fabricated. The earth had five previous mass extinction events by various means most by things humans had no hand in creating or making worse meaning they were a natural event. We are not immune to a sixth mass extinction event we just had a bigger hand in this one. Current global government is a problem no doubt but as a group we citizens far outnumber them they have purposefully divided us on the key societal fault lines ie race religion gender culture ethnicity age politics geographical location and financial class to our own detriment, we allowed the governments and all media to minipulate and influence us not only in division but our ability to communicate our issues peacefully amongst ourselves. So who is really to blame the politicians and global industrialists or ourselves for ELECTING THEM and giving too much to the interests of the wealthy industrialists to control EVERYTHING. There's plenty of blame to go around but it will not stop the inevitable future that WE are ALL complicit in bringing down on all the species of earth. Like the dinosaurs we had our shot and we blew it, big time.
@@jericho1-4 the problem isn't that cycle occurring. The problem is humans affecting the process so badly, we've reversed course, and then accelerated it 100.000% I wish that were an exaggeration, literally 1000x as fast as it should happen, which means none of the organic life affected can adapt.
"those who make a peaceful revolution impossible make a violent revolution inevitable." -JFK In 2021 it's so more true than ever.

Hope you are well if you ever come across this comment and see it.
Yeah when here we are in 2024 and those kinds of morons got to play "grownups" for a few years and look at how far it got us... It's a hot mess like anyone with a triple digit IQ would have predicted. All that communist trash doesn't work. Funny how they were trying to dunk on the GOP or whatever they meant by that, and here we are entering a new conservative age because the post-modern liberalist religion they follow is so toxic and self destructive...
Because of the message. No one wants to hear about how fucked our governments are, administration after administration. Some stupid mother fuckers today just want to bury their heads in the sand and twerk.
That's why i listen to them and Linkin Park, too :) I hate the songs, which are just about sex and the other good things in a relationship. But i dont like that the have to destroy everything in their videos... Lucks a bit like "Kill everyone who does that" to other people, who dont listen to the Lyrics (not me, but the most other, i know)

I am completely and utterly convinced that humanity is going to destroy the world if the majority does not change their ways. I'm trying to change my ways myself, when I start living on campus next year I'm taking on vegetarianism, I don't drive, I have sworn off violence unless it is self defense, and I support human, and I mean all human, rights. I want to go into activism, I'm just not sure how.
damn! hearing this as a teen it's not the same until you grow up and experience it for yourself, it hit different today in 2023!, Thanks for being our voice!
Rise Against taught me to stand up to those that make the decisions and fight back against those blind of truth. Thank you Rise Against because of you I am not one of the sheep in a herd.
It is kind of about that. More it's a critique of capitalism and how workers are just exploited as pawns for giant corporations and their owners. This can be very soul draining, speaking as someone that has worked in factories before. But anyone in the working class can feel that really. It's also about how capitalism is literally destroying the earth and leading to mankinds doom. Pollution, over-consumption etc.
Say Who? Really liking your feedback. In my view, Rise Against is like the next generation Rage Against the Machine. Not as aggressive as Rage Against the Machine was, yet they do write similar songs with similar material.
This band truly is amazing. I've been looking at the modern pop music in today's music industry for a long time, as in, ever since Bieber and Manaj came in. Their repetitive lyrics and music always drive me over the edge to considering how it just seems to fuel my generation's ignorance. I'm thirteen and this is the type of band I've been looking for for a long time, ever since I gave up on the newer LP songs. This song alone shows the reality of how not only the U.S.' politicians and people are falling into their own inevitable destruction, but of other nations. I'll really be looking forward to listening to these guys!
This song is relevant now in 2024 more than ever. WE THE PEOPLE need to stand up and stop letting corporations, billionaires, religious zealots, and downright awful people who don't care whether we live or die have control over major aspects of our lives. THEY CAN'T STOP US IF *US* IS *ALL* *OF* *US* !!
"religious zealots"? LOL what are you talking about? Are you talking about the covidian cultists that happily exchange everyone's freedom for a pat on the back and an exclamation of "moral superiority"? Or are you talking about the left wing post-modern liberal establishment determined to destroy the middle class by subjugating and devid the population between social and racial divides? Please be specific.
People always talk a big game, yet when the time rises no one does anything and that pisses me off. People blame shit on something or someone instead of trying to fix it. Instead of everyone in the comments hating on the U.S. or whatever, WHY DON'T WE TRY TO CHANGE IT?!?!?!?!? That's the point of this song, is to make a change, yet people still do nothing, and if they DO do something, it's very minimal. Rise Against is right with this song, so I say we take these facts that they've put into this video and use this as a refrence point to MAKE A CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish we could but to the Government we are just a number. They don't give a shit about anyone but there goddamn money and themselves. Oh yeah and making us regret our lives. I wish we could but they could just kill us. Honestly they could make us disappear and make money illegally and get away with it, then give it to the people to say we were never born and bribe everyone. We're not even the USA WE ARE THE UNUNITED STATES OF EMBARRASSMENT. *I think that's how you say it* people try but I wish we could. If there was a way I would LOVE to know...
+The Fabulous Nadia it makes me cry and i try to help the people because there's nothing else to do... So I keep my friends and family alive by keeping them happy.

Even famous people like them tried... You know what happens? People become MORE SANE because they understand what the fuck is happening... So there. *plus Eminem makes stuff like this but in a different genre so it's in all genres so more and more ppl find it
Theresa Presley The corrupt government is the problem. We have the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and all of that so that we can keep the government in check, and that's our job. So let's DO OUR JOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Anarchy wears two faces, both creator and destroyer. Thus destroyers topple empires; make a canvas of clean rubble where creators then can build another world. Rubble, once achieved, makes further ruins' means irrelevant. Away with our explosives, then! Away with our destroyers! They have no place within our better world.

If you knew anything about communism you wouldn't be posting that communist fist. Communism will only lead to an already oppressive government centralizing MORE authority over the population is that what you want?

If you didn't know that, study up on the Russian and Chinese Communist revolution and get educated

Gerard Way is life when it comes down to it their are so many ways to create it so perhaps it will cost perhaps it will create jobs either way the worlds fine in that aspect were just lazy fucking cunts
Everyone commenting about how it's crazy how this video is still applicable... Of course it is. Nothing has changed. Nothing has gotten better. The ills spoken of in this video are inherent to the current political/economic system. None of the reform you've seen put into place has ameliorated these problems - and it won't. This is how the system works, and that's the point of the video.
This is the sort of video that my friends and I discuss a lot while we're hanging out. Its definitely a bad idea at times but I'm glad videos like this one exist.
This video has so much power. I love Rise Against and hate how few people can accept reality and not look away. If only everyone would do just a small step in the right direction so much could change.....
The dairy industry is STRUGGLING now. People are waking up! The numbers may have gone up, but the demand for dairy has gone WAY DOWN. They only survive based on every increasing government subsidies that steal your taxes to artificially and communistically keep a dying industry alive. Join the fight now and stop the unjust killing of animals for our tastebuds! The dairy industry will fall before any of the others, much thanks to movies like "Dominion (2018)" and "What the Health" that target people's false perceptions and educated people about what's really required to produce dairy products. Buy OAT MILK or RICE MILK or any of the dozen milk substitutes instead. No cruelty involved, MUCH lower carbon footprint, MUCH cheaper to make so the price will fall much lower than dairy as demand increases etc. Also it's better for you!
Ok...pretty much the only thing I've been listening to for the past week or two was Rise Against. I think the only way I can get out of this is by finding another band that I think is better...but...I don't think I can...
How about A Perfect Circle, I know same singer as Tool, but also very deep songs and svenne is right you're not listening hard enough if you don't like Tool.
Sweet Jesus this actually motivates me to do something in the world. Hell, when I am older and have money I know I can make a difference. As a 17 year old girl living at home with no job, I'm not sure what to do... i wish I could meet them and just have them help me on figuring that out.
This band is brilliant and too see the lyrics play out is crazy,this song literally is telling us "watch the government is gonna fuck u"and it did!best band ever hands down they're lyrical geniuses in my opinion
That's such an simplified claim for such a complex problem. Drinking water already ran out in some areas in the world, but people left and migrated somewhere else, which slows down the process as a whole, but speeds it up regional.
If you saw my comment on "Prayer Of The Refugee", consider this a part 2. This was another song I listened to in that mental hospital that helped make the stay for me (and those other kids) better. Not so much the content in the video but that the music was a light in the darkness of how life was for me (and those kids) 1 year ago. Thank you so much Rise Against. I don't think you know how much this music helped get me through that tough time in my life.
We can't really every solution has a downfall almost worse than the help it gives, unless religion is right we stand small chance of surviving for more than 500 years no matter what we do, and that is a very high number for the projected extinction of humans.
i think i cant go vegetarian... sometimes i need meat... but i dont buy chemical food. the eggs that my family buy for example are from a farmer in our village where the chicken have a good life
Elsa Volunteer. Give back to the community. The biggest difference you can make in yourself. If you can encourage one person a year to dedicate themselves to a greater cause, then what you give will be far more. There are homeless and addicts who need help.
It's not like Rise Against is the greatest band today....oh, wait...what am I saying???? They ARE the greatest band today. At 55, I have seen a lot of bands live. From The Eagles, Grateful Dead, Thin Lizzy and Blue Öyster Cult in the 70s to Linkin Park, Disturbed, Motörhead and Volbeat in recent years, no one, I mean NO ONE is as consistently great as Rise Against. (okay, Thin Lizzy was close)
***** Thanks fopr the tip. A bit more pop than Rise Against, but definitely worth listening to. Plus, they have several albums on Amazon Prime so I can listen for free.
midnight_storm_(vǫrðr) Your reading comprehension is shallow. Do you even read the posts before you post? Think about the fact that not every piece of information was in a post? Think about the fact someone could have a favorite genre although listens to other genres? I was probably listening to "classical music", as well as show tunes, opera, and folk (to name just a few) before you were born. The fact you differentiate and list several different obscure music genres, yet still refer to "Classical music" without mentioning the various genres, indicates that you are ignorant that there even is a difference. Compare Albinoni (Barock) to Mahler (late-Romantic) to get an idea of just how different "classical" is.

Damn, that's one powerful lyric to start a sound! R.A. are geniuses
To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
We toss and turn but don't sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing else
We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
We wait to reap what we are due
To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up
We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
Look now at what they've done to you
White needles buried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
'Cause we don't live
We just survive
On the scraps that you throw away
I won't crawl on my knees for you
I won't believe the lies that hide the truth
I won't sweat one more drop for you
'Cause we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insect in your ears
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl... all over you
We sow the seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
Under this sky no longer blue
We bring the dawn long over-due
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl... all over you

I think he means not just in the Pentagon but people associated too
Someguy583 I think it's literall cockroaches. It's ment to show how the pentagon is rotting
we need a re-release with the facts in there updated for 2024.
I am completely and utterly convinced that humanity is going to destroy the world if the majority does not change their ways. I'm trying to change my ways myself, when I start living on campus next year I'm taking on vegetarianism, I don't drive, I have sworn off violence unless it is self defense, and I support human, and I mean all human, rights. I want to go into activism, I'm just not sure how.
Update?
In today's technology, (if you can afford it no offense), you can get an electric car.
@@vikiss47 Well, that is, if you get your electricity through renewable resources.
Mike White Yes or will produce the car by yourself bc car factories are also using non-renewal energy sources
damn! hearing this as a teen it's not the same until you grow up and experience it for yourself, it hit different today in 2023!, Thanks for being our voice!
Don't think this is going to stop being relevant anytime soon.

I knew we’d never last
For real. If my girl isn’t into punk and metal there are gonna be major issues
What did she hate about them?

Rise Against taught me to stand up to those that make the decisions and fight back against those blind of truth. Thank you Rise Against because of you I am not one of the sheep in a herd.
Im sure you made a big difference these last 10 years 😂😂😂
In the end your just a sheep just like the rest of humanity 😂😂
Ten years later and triple vax'd for sure. Okay Bud. Rage on...
Not the heroes we deserved, but the heroes we need now more than ever
one of those songs that just get more relevant the more time goes on
I miss guitar hero....playing this song on world tour almost made me put my head through the ceiling.
When hearing this song for the first time ever, thought is was about dead-end jobs and how debilitating they can be.
+Victor Amadeus III Of Sardinia Kill your sheeo? What
It is kind of about that. More it's a critique of capitalism and how workers are just exploited as pawns for giant corporations and their owners. This can be very soul draining, speaking as someone that has worked in factories before. But anyone in the working class can feel that really.
It's also about how capitalism is literally destroying the earth and leading to mankinds doom. Pollution, over-consumption etc.
Say Who? Really liking your feedback. In my view, Rise Against is like the next generation Rage Against the Machine. Not as aggressive as Rage Against the Machine was, yet they do write similar songs with similar material.
Rise against are more inspiring then i thought... before listening to this, and make it stop, i had only heard "worth dying for".
price of oil now: -$37
Do you feel that world-changing power inside you when you listen to Rise against? Like you could do anything ?
"And don't you remember when we were young
And we wanted to set the world on fire?
'Cause I still am, and I still do"
no
No I feel pissed off I can't do anything to change how fucked up the world is
This band truly is amazing. I've been looking at the modern pop music in today's music industry for a long time, as in, ever since Bieber and Manaj came in. Their repetitive lyrics and music always drive me over the edge to considering how it just seems to fuel my generation's ignorance. I'm thirteen and this is the type of band I've been looking for for a long time, ever since I gave up on the newer LP songs. This song alone shows the reality of how not only the U.S.' politicians and people are falling into their own inevitable destruction, but of other nations. I'll really be looking forward to listening to these guys!
jesus christ kill me
This rings true even today. I live in a country where children are going hungry. America can do more. Protect our children and save our future.
Even today this video is relevant
This song is relevant now in 2024 more than ever. WE THE PEOPLE need to stand up and stop letting corporations, billionaires, religious zealots, and downright awful people who don't care whether we live or die have control over major aspects of our lives. THEY CAN'T STOP US IF *US* IS *ALL* *OF* *US* !!
ALL OF US
"religious zealots"? LOL what are you talking about? Are you talking about the covidian cultists that happily exchange everyone's freedom for a pat on the back and an exclamation of "moral superiority"? Or are you talking about the left wing post-modern liberal establishment determined to destroy the middle class by subjugating and devid the population between social and racial divides? Please be specific.
It's not lost on me that the censored version of the music video doesn't remove the insinuation of terrorism but the facts and statistics
People always talk a big game, yet when the time rises no one does anything and that pisses me off.
People blame shit on something or someone instead of trying to fix it.
Instead of everyone in the comments hating on the U.S. or whatever, WHY DON'T WE TRY TO CHANGE IT?!?!?!?!?
That's the point of this song, is to make a change, yet people still do nothing, and if they DO do something, it's very minimal.
Rise Against is right with this song, so I say we take these facts that they've put into this video and use this as a refrence point to MAKE A CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish we could but to the Government we are just a number. They don't give a shit about anyone but there goddamn money and themselves. Oh yeah and making us regret our lives. I wish we could but they could just kill us. Honestly they could make us disappear and make money illegally and get away with it, then give it to the people to say we were never born and bribe everyone. We're not even the USA WE ARE THE UNUNITED STATES OF EMBARRASSMENT. *I think that's how you say it* people try but I wish we could. If there was a way I would LOVE to know...
+The Fabulous Nadia it makes me cry and i try to help the people because there's nothing else to do... So I keep my friends and family alive by keeping them happy. I mean society is a piece of shit and it makes ppl depressed and that's what I help with. Yes I get depressed but I try and try. So I guess that's all what we could do. Even famous people like them tried... You know what happens? People become MORE SANE because they understand what the fuck is happening... So there. *plus Eminem makes stuff like this but in a different genre so it's in all genres so more and more ppl find it
Make a Change and vote Bernie Sanders for President !!!
Theresa Presley The corrupt government is the problem. We have the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and all of that so that we can keep the government in check, and that's our job. So let's

Every year I find this song more important
We have too remember this was made in 2010 man one decade later it feels more real than anything.
This song needs to be in the radio
It was....
@@kylelee1911 I think they mean it needs to be nowadays lol
It was a major radio hit for the band tho
You sometimes don’t really like a group but sometimes you hear a song that really hits and now you want to go back and see what I was missing. Am a fan now and look forward to the new stuff!!
what the fuck did you say??????
"Anarchy wears two faces, both creator and destroyer. Thus destroyers topple empires; make a canvas of clean rubble where creators then can build another world. Rubble, once achieved, makes further ruins' means irrelevant.
Away with our explosives, then!
Away with our destroyers! They have no place within our better world.
But let us raise a toast to all our bombers, all our bastards, most unlovely and most unforgivable.
Let's drink their health... then meet with them no more.”

This song has never felt more relevant. ✊
If you knew anything about communism you wouldn't be posting that communist fist. Communism will only lead to an already oppressive government centralizing MORE authority over the population is that what you want? Don't be ignorant, I fight for the freedom for the right for man to govern themselves, not for an authoritarian regime. If you didn't know that, study up on the Russian and Chinese Communist revolution and get educated
This band just always gives me those summer vibes, regardless of the lyrics
Crazy how we get closer and closer to these dates…
Why so few views?! This is honestly one of their best songs. High school nostalgia... These songs certainly hold up.
I love this song, the video, the message & rise against in general ❤️🖤
I think it‘d be great, if they would remake the video with today’s facts.
Amazing attitude, they should do a remake for 2023!
Always loved this song, first time I saw the video. Now I love it even more lol.
Kids are gonna find this in 30 years and be like, you guys knew this was happening and didn't do anything?? sigh...
well everything is fucked 9 years from now most people won't have drinking water.....now I'm depressed
Half of those things are misinformation. Still a good song though, but everything stated in text was liberal agenda shit.
then fight on
Scotland has an almost infinite supply, so the bad news is you're gonna have to import water. The good news is you're gonna make us very rich.
seviche100 how the fuck is that good
Gerard Way is life when it comes down to it their are so many ways to create it so perhaps it will cost perhaps it will create jobs either way the worlds fine in that aspect were just lazy fucking cunts
It’s amazing how much better this genre is when you actually have a message.
This just made me more paranoid of the world today.
U need to be aware
Ha, try now.
Don't get mad at the capitalist's rape of the world and the rest of humanity.
Get even.
Why do I get the feeling that the Pentagon cockroaches are not only 'bugs?'
Everyone commenting about how it's crazy how this video is still applicable... Of course it is. Nothing has changed. Nothing has gotten better. The ills spoken of in this video are inherent to the current political/economic system. None of the reform you've seen put into place has ameliorated these problems - and it won't. This is how the system works, and that's the point of the video.
"No son los rebeldes, los que crean los problemas del mundo. Son los problemas del mundo los que crean a los rebeldes."

Esa cita fue estupida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s 2024 and this hits harder now than when it first came out!
This is the sort of video that my friends and I discuss a lot while we're hanging out. Its definitely a bad idea at times but I'm glad videos like this one exist.
This video has so much power. I love Rise Against and hate how few people can accept reality and not look away. If only everyone would do just a small step in the right direction so much could change.....
Every blue-collar worker should hear this at least once. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much Rise Against, you guys are the best, trying to create a point in the world. Hopefully you will make a change in history. :)
10 years later and things have gotten WORSE
The dairy industry is STRUGGLING now. People are waking up! The numbers may have gone up, but the demand for dairy has gone WAY DOWN. They only survive based on every increasing government subsidies that steal your taxes to artificially and communistically keep a dying industry alive. Join the fight now and stop the unjust killing of animals for our tastebuds!
The dairy industry will fall before any of the others, much thanks to movies like "Dominion (2018)" and "What the Health" that target people's false perceptions and educated people about what's really required to produce dairy products. Buy OAT MILK or RICE MILK or any of the dozen milk substitutes instead. No cruelty involved, MUCH lower carbon footprint, MUCH cheaper to make so the price will fall much lower than dairy as demand increases etc. Also it's better for you!
Capitalism.
I don't even have words to describe how great rise against is.
Its bands like these that I respect because they sing about real world problems and not sex or drugs *salutes rise against*
Nothing wrong with singing about sex and drugs dude. Its all a part of the human experience.
Ok...pretty much the only thing I've been listening to for the past week or two was Rise Against. I think the only way I can get out of this is by finding another band that I think is better...but...I don't think I can...
***** Yeah...I don't like tool. But that's just me. I've listened to it a while ago, but didn't like it at all.
TheDemonized
Then you're not listening hard enough.
How about A Perfect Circle, I know same singer as Tool, but also very deep songs and svenne is right you're not listening hard enough if you don't like Tool.
Try Red Hot Chili Peppers
Try anti flag
13 years later and it’s more true now than ever.
Sweet Jesus this actually motivates me to do something in the world. Hell, when I am older and have money I know I can make a difference. As a 17 year old girl living at home with no job, I'm not sure what to do... i wish I could meet them and just have them help me on figuring that out.
Did you end up figuring it out?

@@Matheus-dj9sq lol in this day and age I can't tell if you are joking or not
This band is brilliant and too see the lyrics play out is crazy,this song literally is telling us "watch the government is gonna fuck u"and it did!best band ever hands down they're lyrical geniuses in my opinion
I saw them last night in concert last night and Jesus this song hits you way harder live, absolutely love these guys
2024 74% of the world still has clean drinking water
That's such an simplified claim for such a complex problem. Drinking water already ran out in some areas in the world, but people left and migrated somewhere else, which slows down the process as a whole, but speeds it up regional.
Come on that's not the vibe
Didn't notice this was playing and thought it was my own heart beating lol
2020
The more things change the more things stay the same
This hits even HARDER now. We will not comply.
That water stat is getting close to being on point.
Me showing up to the protests blasting this song

Me eating the rich blasting this song
This is what we live with everyday
2023 and this is more relevant than ever.. Be safe out there
If you saw my comment on "Prayer Of The Refugee", consider this a part 2.
This was another song I listened to in that mental hospital that helped make the stay for me (and those other kids) better. Not so much the content in the video but that the music was a light in the darkness of how life was for me (and those kids) 1 year ago. Thank you so much Rise Against. I don't think you know how much this music helped get me through that tough time in my life.
We are the rust upon your gears
Solidarity 2020
stuff like this is currently also happening in Kiev
great song BTW i love this band
If you are ever on the fence about seeing them in concert, trust me. Do it.
I was playing cyberpunk 2077 & something about samurai reminded me of this masterpiece
that heavy part after time bomb ticking awaY
imagine how sketchy they looked making the video... dropping off backpacks in weird places AT NIGHT.
LOL no kidding. They dropped them right at city hall on LaSalle and at the CBOT, all around the loop. It's an amazing video. Amazing message.
i've come to the conclusion that these guys can do no wrong. everything they do is awesome
every time i watch this video i get chills!! memories from my childhood 👌🏻
there will never be a time when this song isn't relevant.
3:17 "rick roll, rick roll, rick roll" XD
Thanks lololol
Now do this music video again with updated stats. We need this.
I wish i can have a 1999 Porsche carrera in all black so i can listen to re educación by rise against it's My favorite rock band 🤟🇺🇲🤗
I wanna help the world, but I don't know how :(
We can't really every solution has a downfall almost worse than the help it gives, unless religion is right we stand small chance of surviving for more than 500 years no matter what we do, and that is a very high number for the projected extinction of humans.
Yea :/ But when everyone helps a little bit, maybe the world will be better...
i think i cant go vegetarian... sometimes i need meat... but i dont buy chemical food. the eggs that my family buy for example are from a farmer in our village where the chicken have a good life
yes, i do what's right in my eyes and i hope that all these people who hurt humans, animals or plants for no good reason will be punished one day...
Elsa Volunteer. Give back to the community. The biggest difference you can make in yourself. If you can encourage one person a year to dedicate themselves to a greater cause, then what you give will be far more.
There are homeless and addicts who need help.
This epitomizes my love my Rise Against!
As a kid I never saw the uncensored version/ never knew it existed. Pretty dope.
MY favorite freaking band/song
!!!! Always singin quotes from this bad ass band
This is an instructional video. 🔥🔥🔥
It's not like Rise Against is the greatest band today....oh, wait...what am I saying???? They ARE the greatest band today. At 55, I have seen a lot of bands live. From The Eagles, Grateful Dead, Thin Lizzy and Blue Öyster Cult in the 70s to Linkin Park, Disturbed, Motörhead and Volbeat in recent years, no one, I mean NO ONE is as consistently great as Rise Against. (okay, Thin Lizzy was close)
***** Thanks fopr the tip. A bit more pop than Rise Against, but definitely worth listening to. Plus, they have several albums on Amazon Prime so I can listen for free.
midnight_storm_(vǫrðr) Your reading comprehension is shallow. Do you even read the posts before you post? Think about the fact that not every piece of information was in a post? Think about the fact someone could have a favorite genre although listens to other genres? I was probably listening to "classical music", as well as show tunes, opera, and folk (to name just a few) before you were born.
The fact you differentiate and list several different obscure music genres, yet still refer to "Classical music" without mentioning the various genres, indicates that you are ignorant that there even is a difference. Compare Albinoni (Barock) to Mahler (late-Romantic) to get an idea of just how different "classical" is.
I wish this song can hit the whole world and show them all💛
Need an an updated version of this video in 2021.
