Wow... I can't believe so many people are misinterpreting this song. The words are quite literal. During a tough economic time, his family got ripped off pretty hard, so he killed (or at least tried to) the guy responsible.
@AlucardCrane IDK if you're right but he put's more emotion in this song than any.... IDC what it's about, I love this song, best live song they do... not that any are bad :)
Dude he plays the drums the same way he sings. Not good at the fancy stuff, but puts an insane amount of heart into it, and that's what makes him so epic.
@Scoob505 No, it's about the Great Depression in the States in the 20's. It was a severe combination of drought and economic failure that left the 'heartland' of America starving destitute ghost towns, often called the "dust bowl". Rich people, companies or the government would then buy, swindle or just plain take land that had been in families for years, thus the theme of this song.
@CousinFern i agree with you it's also based on not only that but the fact of what yo do when everythings been takin away from you in that manner it really puts in perspective what your options are even in this time and age

im struggling to finds words that could describe how i feel after watching this, but i think its safe to say that my jaw officially dropped when winston was shredding the ass of that guitar, after that i think i might have fallen unconcious..im not quite sure...
Amazing! This song is awesome live. It's not even marred by Marcus trying to do a cool drum stick manoeuvre just after 4ms and failing hehe bless him!

I love how equally important each member of the band is...
Also love how marcus changes the type of drumsticks he uses as the song builds and how winston changes for banjo to electric guitar !!!

Is this about the Irish being kicked off their land and killed by the British? Because that is what the lyrics seem to be implying.

@CousinFern More specifically, the song is based on The Grapes of Wrath (which was set during the dust bowl)
