Work - Jimmy Eat World (With Lyrics)

[OliBN1]

How old are Jimmy Eats World exactly? That video is about teenagers, the singer looks like he's in his 30s

[orangemysterio]

that means he's experienced on life.

[rloebe34]

Love this song.. Even I might be 3 years late I'm finally transfering to a college at 22. Excited, yet scared. I'll be going to a school where I'll know like 3 people. Oh well, like Springsteen says. "it's a town full of losers and I'm pullin' outta here to win"

[javahippo]

My mum needs to watch the beginning. It's okay if I fail. That's how I learn and I can always find ways to pick myself back up again. It's never the end.

[MultiPeaceforall]

i love this song

[imfromthereducedbin]

just to clear things up on the European front! Most Americans originally are from European families, mostly irish! So lets not be calling yourself ugly ok ;)!

x

[Bl4nkB0x]

'cept for its americans life choices, not Europeans.

If i say americans are "ugly" i'm not calling Europeans "ugly" moron.

[bigdsears]

I like the other video just a lttle bit more. The one with all the smoking hot babes in their underwear. But this one is okay...

[ihatecars66]

i thought that jimmy eat world sucked...but theyre really good

[TheFaustianMan]

They seem to be pandering to their high school audience. And in doing so they alienate older listeners such as myself. Who cares about high school and all the stupid problems? An hero if you got so many problems. And Yale sucks.

[TheAcolyteTao]

TheFaustianMan... If you presently go to Yale and this song is about high school.... That means this song was out when you were in high school more than likely, its from 2006.

Ivy league kids are always the dumbest for some reason.

[TheFaustianMan]

You make no sense. But I agree with the last statement. Oddly enough.

[TheAcolyteTao]

Okay, let me try again. Since you mentioned "Yale sucks," by saying that one can imply that you currently go there. And if you currently go there, more than likely this song was out when you were in high school.

So by saying this song is pandering in the high school audience, at the time of when this song came out, you were probably their high school audience they were targeting.

[VintageLefty]

After 4 years, this video still has the power to bring me to tears. Rock on, JEW.

[candealwithit]

awsome song

[WTFMAKINGANACCOUNT]

The album from which this song came is one of the single best albums ever produced.

[kelchi88]

one of the best songs ever

[kicks1989]

i love the part when the couple was saying goodbye to one another and then she turns around and you see the Yale sweater

[Domsss818]

Kocham tą piosenkę ;D

[thehefolomp]

i luvd hikes scool.............jk

[purpledude2]

SamuraiBSD you're my hero

[hsmfreak345]

AMAZING SONG!!!

i LOVE jimmy eat world

(L)

[samuraiBSD]

Hearing this again makes me so glad high school is over...people who say those were the best years of their life must have a sad, boring existence...

[bonerpopper]

that or maybe you had a sad boring life in high school hahahaha

[samuraiBSD]

Says "Boner popper"...

[bonerpopper]

haha what does my name have to do with anything? Good job.

[ma1ice2you]

@bonerpopper

dude you have the best username ever =D

[RAIMENTclothing]

every year is the best year of your life

[maffmanu]

@samuraiBSD It sounds like you had a boring teenage life haha. I've been out of high school for years, and I wish I could go back to those days! High school always seemed so shitty while you were there but you don't realize how good it was until you're in the real world

[jeremy1069fm]

I love this song. Its sort of an anthem. This video was made my senior year in high school, ironicly in the same state.

[munkaaaa]

boo fukin hoo stop whining... i wish i was a teenager again.

anyways nice song

[hrtoflove]

beautiful! I love the lyrics!

[ligurl27]

i love this song. pls check out my cover (the first part is another song but like halfway thru it's this song)

[NikScene]

haaaa sweet, i live in madison. so this video is coooooooooool

[dcmusic91]

Check out my cover of Hear You Me and tell me what you think! /watch?v=zUkh4DleUhc

[Vec4f]

I hate this awesome life! :D

[Crush40pwns]

i totally forgot about this song, it was the first song other than the middle by jimmy eat world that i got into

[thesoulvortex]

this song is fuckin awesome

[HopeDiedScreaming]

This makes me look forward to the day I finally leave the corpse of the teenager behind... WHEN WIL MY LIFE ACTUALLY BEGIN!!!

[Thag20]

@HopeDiedScreaming High school fucking sucks. When you get to college you realize that it means NOTHING! No school dance or cliches will matter as soon as you graduate. Your life will truly begin when you move into the real world and find who you really are.

[HopeDiedScreaming]

Hey man, I just want to be at that point, a real life sounds beautiful, and what you describe is perfect!

[commonwealpanther]

@HopeDiedScreaming Even if you don't get to college, you're life starts when you decide you want to begin it! I know its hard, but you can do it! You're going to be awesome when you decide you can because you are awesome already. Its clear you know what you don't want, which is really important!!

[HopeDiedScreaming]

I know exactly where I want my life to head, I just can't wait until then... this fucking curse of time is wearing me out.... I just want to be a goddam Marine! Why does this all have to be so hard! haha... my time will come, thanks though, your kindness is refreshing lol

[EmoDiego6277]

is one of the best songs of jimmy eat world

[WhySoSeerious]

This song is so awesome. Love the video, too. So looking forward to Jimmy Eat World's new album!

[mell115]

The things we think might be the same

But I won't fight for more

<3

[thatyummy]

this is my form school house athem!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DannieEmma]

Heard this on one tree hill, brilliant song, love it so much! :)

[Viny1ogan]

lol

Very nice this song

[First2Ki11]

The guy kinda looks like jim carrey.

[stevethemagicpants]

@First2Ki11 No he kinda looks like your face.

[First2Ki11]

Do you actually think you're clever?

[stevethemagicpants]

@First2Ki11 Actually, it was rather "clever" the first time around.

[First2Ki11]

@stevethemagicpants No.

[DylanMckay3]

lmfao jail can be beautiful? tell me what jail ur goin ill go commit a crime in the area

[DylanMckay3]

what?

[DylanMckay3]

a beautiful jail...i likes the oxymoron lol

[saiWicked]

its not an oxymoron, a jail can be beautiful,

it just doesn't change the fact your trapped.

the oxymoron would be saying,

trapped inside the outside world.

[killhowe]

check out new song Come to You by Autovein, new song!

[HypoKiki]

Jim reminds me of Brian from family guy for some odd reason, I can't figure out why...

[grauekatze]

Makes me happy I'm from a big place..

[Kudell46and2]

get out of this place while we still have time! (8)

[d305er]

1/2 hour ago I had never heard of Jimmy Eat World - What a shame! it's GREAT music!!!

[crackythewondertroll]

fuck this soul asylum wannabe

[MicroCorp]

HAHAHAHAHAHA Soul Asylum fucking suuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

[rockrocks101chick]

THEY ARE THE BEST!! their songs are so true and have SO much meaning!=]

[aspx2]

Romanian Girls are HOT!! :> im from romania!! and this song rooocks \m/

[SuperSmagnus]

no offence but girls in America are really ugly...

[Kiahtah]

Hmmph, what part of America were you looking in?

[SuperSmagnus]

well up so far all girls i have seen from america are ugly, so i all i think.

[Kiahtah]

Well your have your oppinion.

[charizardsspirit]

shallow piece of shit

[SuperSmagnus]

angry piece of shit

[SibbyOrourke]

and you're from where?

[SuperSmagnus]

Faroe Islands

[RayanneJD]

thats a very generalized statement to make

[SuperSmagnus]

yep, but it is true.

[aijunk]

@SuperSmagnus

its funny how most american are actually from europe. Your pretty much calling "Europens" some ugly dog shit :D

[plazmazip213]

@aijunk before you call Europeans ugly dog shit, you might want to spell it correctly

[aijunk]

@plazmazip213

yeah I did...Europe see?

haha you fail :)

the USA consists of immigrants, and the majority is europeans. So your once again, please comprehend with me....calling your own kind "ugly"

[hiximxsammx]

there are girls all across the world that are ugly, in America, France, Canada, you name it. Not every American girl is ugly, honestly, i think you just have something against Americans, because an intelligent person wouldn't make such an ignorant statement.

[youreonfiretonight]

lol how can someone be ugly because they were born specifically somewhere anyway

[SuperSmagnus]

well i dont know, but its a fact.

[bonerpopper]

which girls are you looking at? haha

[revelinabandon]

You're not the crunchiest pickle in the barrel.

[SuperSmagnus]

um sorry what does that mean ???

[revelinabandon]

Point in case.

[SuperSmagnus]

huh ??

[gopher666]

It means you're an idiot. Get off the internet, you're giving the Nordic countries a bad rep.

[SuperSmagnus]

hahaha right, im giving anyone a bad rep

[ProscoviaJYVRYJETCTJ]

sharpest tool in the toolshed

brightest crayon in the crayon box

[Ruz113]

Brilliant song but hate the video

[ThrowDownNigga]

fuck the illuminati

[boilingbubbles]

[pFl0yd7]

SINGER LOOKS LIKE STEVE CARELL. WTF.

[samxthatswhatsup]

bahahaha.

[Kiahtah]

Who is that? 0.0

[pFl0yd7]

Actor. Lol. Google Image Search Steve Carell, and be ready to laugh your ass off.

[Kiahtah]

Oh, I forgot who he was.

I have a lot on my mind... so yeah...

[DaCrackPOT91]

huahahaha!!!

[boilingbubbles]

im so happy to be out of the burbs.

even if it means i have a gun pointed at me from time to time

[christStrothman]

the singer looks like a fat version of a cheap jim carrey imitation, goddammit.

[laserbyte]

[imadouche714]

HAHA

[christStrothman]

i'm serial! :D

[fetti2086]

[sandmanhater]

Wow, look at how bad this band is now. They were great with their old albums like Static Prevails, but this is crap.

[beXnicola]

look dude this is far from crap, i have always been a fan of them. there music hasnt changed, its gotten better

[sandmanhater]

No they haven't gotten better. Now they sound like the shitty music you would normally hear these days.

[Emily92k]

I love the video but the song...

[LENALUXUS1234]

[xvaughanx]

[weluvjoeandnick]

[cj64thedirector]

[LisaScreamed]

Jim looks DIFFERENT. I love his hair in the "Sweetness" music video--

Damn. This is probably gonna get marked as spam.

JEW FTW.

[Elvyne963]

[ezemouro2]

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

What do you mean? You can message me if you want, we can talk.

[handofblood14]

thx guys for the encouragement

[handofblood14]

Your last year in high school is always your hardest, because you have to find out where you want to go and make sure your following a path you want to follow, this year i'm graduating and i know what i want to do, but i'm still worried about the fact that i may not make it

Jimmy Eat World rocks

[Monstahshan91]

same here bro... the next few months scare the shit out of me.

[Mylloh1]

Every one of their songs describes a time in my life and I LOVE them for it. This one reminds me of when my husband and I left everything behind to start over right after we were married and it worked for the best for us. We moved from the only place we had known most of our lives and have succeeded somewhere else. If we didn't leave then, who knows what would have happened.

[myromance123]

their first letter of each word in their name spells JEW (Jimmy Eat World)...

[horrorsquad08]

sad fuck. no need is there? other ppl will have seen that dipshit

[nielsje153]

Its like a year i havent heard the song but i hear it again and its again nice like altimes =)

[doomsdaydave11]

I love how this is a place for little kids to whine about how hard it is to be a kid... guess what? It's not. At all.

If you think being in high school is the hardest part of life, then kill yourself right now and get it over with.

Regardless, good song!

[70opp7]

What about those who live in the city? with gangs, drugs, violence?abusive parents?

[Basskid099]

There's more or less problems for teenagers as there are for adults, but they're all different kinds of problems, and a lot of it has to do with mental state, which can be affected by puberty. Plus, kids have a WHOLE lot less control over things than adults, who don't have to deal with abusive parents and shit. And adults can shape their lives all they want, kids can't do crap. But really, most of it has to do with the individual. a lil rich kid won't have much problems but a poor city kid..

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

Right now it is the hardest part of my life. I was diagnosed with manic depression last year after I found my mom barely breathing from an overdose of morphine. Now I can't talk with people, social anxiety disorder they call it now. Sometimes I wonder why I can't be like all the other kids in high school, but life didn't work out that way. I'm switching to cyber school, trying it for the second time. I don't believe in school or college, but that's the way the world is. Don't joke about suicide.

[christiansok]

kmacmuzikmafia27, you can do it, never give up.

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

thank you!

[doomsdaydave11]

I understand that there are many kids going through hard times, growing up in abusive families, etc.

I feel for ya, but my comment wasn't targeted towards legitimately suffering people such as yourself...

It was targeted towards the whiny kids who live normal lives, yet complain about it, because they are in fact pussies.

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

Thank you, I guess I get kind of defensive about it. But there are a lot of kids complaining for no reason, so sometimes I have to be careful, I have to make sure I'm not complaining and whining about something stupid.

[horrorsquad08]

You'll be fine my friend, all you need to do is find it in yourself to stay strong, like christiansok said " you can do it " :)

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

Thank you, if anyone wants to know I'm doing much better. I think I was just in a really bad place at the time.

[AbigDayDreamer]

good Song :)

[pookeyoak]

mann being young sucks i should know

[justkeepsingn010]

this has been my favorite song ever since it was released!

[monkeymultimedia]

Great song

[darknessbewithyou]

this video was filmed at my highschool when i was a freshman

[niwersa]

poetry of the heart :)

[Kazbobber]

This song has been a part of my life since I heard it at 17 - and I'm 23... who said bands can't be a role model?

[NinjasKill123]

Probably someone "high class" that won't take a second listen to the real meaning of songs.

[djobidjo]

hi guys , i'm french so the meaning of that song is not really obvious to me ... can someone try to explain to me ? :P

[glandlaxer04]

basically it shows how kids, or younger teens in highschool are going to have to face the real world soon

[lohanfan51]

aww reminds me of high school

[kimmy17x3]

i really like this song. alot. and ithink i always will! its such an inspiration :) i love jimmy eat world.

[MYgood111]

ou i loove this video<3 but this is the one song that i like

[gclovex27]

i really like jimmy eat world and this song, this video was filmed at my highschool which is pretty raw

[qTheOnep]

Ha no way, vary cool

[kelseyiswk]

this is such a great song, no matter how old it is

plus i live like an hour and a half away from madison so that's pretty cool :)

[Abebil]

Yay! Thank god this video is still here after 2 years.

Cheers people. :D

[MrLaLaLovato]

this is exactly how i feel about school...

[londonpythons716]

wow, i didnt know this song was done by jimmy eat world lol

[javaxjunkie]

This is my favorite Jimmy Eat World song! I actually found out that the guy who directed this video also directed "500 Days of Summer"! Amazing.

[00TRES]

people is so fucking immature, video goes with song!!!!

[yokolina]

Brilliant fucking song!

And to the person who asked for a recommendation, I'd say get 'Futures'.

[twilightlover123able]

sooooo cool and fun to sing ;D

[TroutAmbush]

I have no idea how a song or video can be homosexual. But then again, most of the logic of homophobes makes no sense anyway.

[JackMcGuitar]

I want to buy an album of theirs this weekend but not sure which one. Would someone be able to recommend their best one to me please? I already have bleed american.

Thanks!

[DerArg0]

I think the best is futures.
