lol.. we would be speaking German, the only damn reason America help us is becuase we was winning... the seccond we turned the fight around with help that wasnt from America, then they decided to steal some glory.. and that is all America is about............
and yes.. no country is perfect.. but read your history before you preach it
lol.. we would be speaking German, the only damn reason America help us is becuase we was winning... the seccond we turned the fight around with help that wasnt from America, then they decided to steal some glory.. and that is all America is about............
Fuck America? No! love it or leave it? No! Respect America? Yes
There are many problems within our country but name a country that doesn't have problems. Our biggest problem is we have projected ourselves across the world. Then they see our social injustices that we cannot see since we have grown up with them. Just like we point out faults in other countries.
The OG levellers could teach their lesson America and that i believe is what the band is trying to do.
@LibJibber the main problem with the usa is it's government, which (like the British government, i admit) has shitheads in charge of it, and i personally think that this song is aimed at the american government, not it's citizens
i wish i could say i wanted to burn america without getting in trouble. i hate this country and i want it to burn, we deserve to burn, and i look forward to it. more people should be outraged with this country and in this country. i want to try to start a revolution so bad, but it's against my religion. i am happy with the fact that God will take care of it though, it's on his time i just hope it's sooner rather than later :)
It's also impliying the stupidity of having guns so readily available. It's talking about how amaerican society and the things it thinks are acceptable and how it responds to thing is all fucked up.
You don't understand what the song is about, it isn't about their foreign policy or what their governments have done to the rest of the world. It's a comment on the narcissism present in their society which means kids shoot up their schools because they're annoyed about a girl not noticing them or something. It also mentions how the police both overreact (stun grenades and swat teams) and dont manage to actually save anyone as the gunman uses all his bullets then kills himself.
there is no prefect race,color,religion,beliefs and there is nobody here that can help where they were born or what their Gov does, does not do.
You all need too drop the hatred and just get on with life it is to damn short anyway standing around pissing and moaning about shit you cannot control... do I like the Gov here? No. do I like your Gov... No, can I do anything about it ? no. enough just enjoy the music and what life offers.
wow.... love the band... amazing tracts , but all the hatred for America? It is not the people as a whole that are bad. that is like saying the whole box of candy is bad because of the person holding it.. also, if it was not for America, you all would be speaking German.. if you wanna hold everything the Gov does over the heads of Americans and say they ALL are bad then step back and look at yourselves cause there are A-holes in every culture. Every part of the world. Yes, even yours.
@hessieguildwar I agree with most of what you said apart from the piece that claims you can do nothing about the situation or governments ect. United, the human race is stronger than all of our leaders put together. WE are the ones who allow their actions to go on. WE vote them into power. Personally I say fuck em, they don't speak for me and I WILL NOT conform to a life they have designed for us. New world order! Investigate for yourself.
"if it was not for America, you all would be speaking German.."
You see?.. That's it. Right there. It's not just your government, it's your damned deluded attitude. What pisses the rest of us off is that you people actually believe that bullshit you keep telling yourselves.
And the real joke of it all is that you don't even realise it.
If we wanted to attack the U.S. all we have to do is float huge mirrors facing your coast and then watch as you masturbate yourselves to death.
@MiG2880 That's BULLSHIT us Brits were kicking the jerries arses, oh but you God forsaken yankees came in at the last year or so and in all American virtue stole the Glory ! It's funny how America comes in late to a major conflict but is first in on killing Afghans with Kilashnikovs. Finally: without Great Britain you wouldn't even exist and in my opinion that was a bad mistake of us Glorious Britains!!!!!
@hessieguildwar I agree the hatred is not right! USA backed out of ww2 Until Pearl Harbour! By then you had let the British Commonweath fight alone! Then you gave us 90 crap destoryers for parts of the West Indies plus a bill that took us until the year 2000 to pay off! Don't feel much sympathy for you at the moment! My mother can still remember the air raid sirens over England! At least we won!
The US looks awful until I consider the alternatives; Nazi Germany? Hell No! Imperial Japan? No! Soviet Russia? Never!
I wouldn't vote for any of those arrogant and stupid regimes. At least the USA admits the possibility of change and guarantees the freedom of speech. It's the least worst.
I bought 'Letters from the Underground' recently and it is a serious return to political form from the Levs, heartily recommended! And don't be so twitchy listen to the lyrics!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
is this a homosexual band? sounds like one. i wish america would just leave the world alone to rot in hell. i mean when something happens to the rest of the world the U.S is the first ones there to help these sorry fucks. yet they sit there and bash on America. what does the uk do? wait to see what the u.s does first? how bout italy? r they even a real country anymore?lol without America the rest of the world would b in shits. this band is one of the worst and gayest i have heard. 2 thumbs down
Does no one understand that this song isn't inciting anyone to actually set fire to the USA? It's an observational song, regarding the crime and lawlessness that can take place there. No other country has mass shootings in schools like the Americans do.
And the taliban. You guys trained and equipped them so they could fight the Soviets. Look where that's got you.
@aliencheesemaker Yeah, thats true but yanks just.. cant.. take.. critisism.. if they arn't made to look good in any way, they kick up a fuss and winge and cry, thats the way they are.
Wow. You do realise how wrong you are there? America is the country that the rest of the world dispises, and I can give you an entire list of reasons why. And secondly, the Levellers are an incredible band. Just because they use violins and keyboards in their songs does not automatically make them "homosexual"
Come to think of it, do you even know the definition of "homosexual"?
america is the country that keeps this world in one piece. who facilitates international trade? USA. Whos fleets patrol every ocean and sea on earth? USA. By which standard is the global market run. The american one. Who is literally shitting money to keep hunting down terrorists. USA. and yes, there are terrorists trying to blow up other places then the US. spain? britain? remember those? in fact, most people have a good opinion of the US.
most countries hate america who fleets patrol over oceans burning fossil fuels to burn wholes in the sky. Using a global market that we dont need. Only to bring rich people richer and poor people poorer and to advertise products we want not what we need. The more you hunt down terrorists the more hatred that will build on both sides along with ignorance and racism. dnt get me wrong its not just america its all of western society including spain and britain were all contributing to this
"who facilitates international trade?" Don't you mean internation exploitation?
"Whos fleets patrol every ocean and sea on earth? USA" Like the rest of the world benefits at all with it.
"Who is literally shitting money to keep hunting down terrorists." USA is the most responsible for this situation, for supporting Israel's genocide on Palestine. The world is what USA is shitting.
However, alot of people dont like bush, and his administration, and many people are just too fucking stupid to understand how fuckin lucky they have it. the US is the ONLY -i repeat, the ONLY, super power that is interested in the well bieng of the rest of the world. the only super power to date that hasnt gone conquering others around them. ya dont like the US? well... would ya like the US is it acted like a normal super power, and... say... invaded europe, s. america, or china?
@SpeciousGwa: Oh yes, what a wonderful world the Communists brought us. What a dupe! Appeasing fools like you apologized for the Nazis, then the Soviets, now the Islamunists. Sad to see what a once Great Britain has become. Enjoy your upcoming dhimmitude.
@NickB1967 Did I?! Oh, don't remember saying that. Oh, wait.. maybe that was you putting words into my mouth. Oh, and enjoy your upcoming socialism.. twat.
@remoganda no, no new hope, every president of the us is merely a tool of the companies and the monatery system whether he/she is black, white, homosexual or anything "unusual" to the unthinking majority
actually not bad! i wasn't sure about some of their later stuff as the only song i've listened to and really liked by the levellers was one way. This is good =)
