[TheLifeOfANewYorker]

[Chapter1Tormented]

This is my anthem.

[557dice]

great audio outputt

better then most versions

[fEtUsEaTeR152]

i dont think its possible to dislike this song. and some how it is disliked.

[TheAscentBand]

check out our bands cover of this song, would post a link to it but it doesn't let you. Would mean a lot if you checked it out and gave us tips/feedback. Just trying to get our name out there ya know? thanks

[DatPunkrock2012]

I <3 this song. It makes me think of my dad. I miss you daddy come home SOON!!!!!!!!!!

[lilD20205]

@DatPunkrock2012 Not to be rude but how does it remind of your dad? I'm guessing he's in the military but the song is about refugees

(Again not trying to be rude in anyway)

[DatPunkrock2012]

@lilD20205

my dad is a in the us navy and helps refugees from the aftermath of many things. He is a corpsman i dont know if you know what that is but hes a doctor. ok war isnt all about killing people ok.

[TRAPBOULTERNAS]

@DatPunkrock2012 no disrespect at all, but being in the military isnt all about killing people, but war is. much respect for your dad and your family as that is one of my career paths. GO NAVY!!!

[ClickClack84]

These lyrics get to me sometimes. Their so well-thought...

[aquamanxz2]

@ClickClack84 me too, that's why i love this band

[aboywholovestoskate]

SnAkIeRcRacKeR i remember that too man when i was little i would just replay WWE just to hear this song and i did it religiously :D

@BliindSniip3R I hope you're not my neighbor or id shank you

[SnAkIeRcRacKeR]

i remember when they were playing on SmackDown VS. Raw 2007 :') o man how the years passed <3

[Tiff2d6]

Hell, during my troubling teen years, this was my anthem

[coolguyinthe562]

I can never get tired of the solo at 2:05

[Maheed94]

@coolguyinthe562 Yeaah man.. IT ROCKS!!!

[shadok775]

This is Pure Epicness, i find myself listening to this song whenever i try to listen to 30 seconds to mars

[Sonnyv102687]

I love the beggining! haha

[TheAnonymousNY]

Only song by Rise Against that I enjoy

[fatguyeatscheetos]

@TheAnonymousNY jw have you heard education through labor? it sounds somewhat similar and is just as good imo

[TheSpunkCakes]

@fatguyeatscheetos *Re-Education (Through Labor)

[fatguyeatscheetos]

@TheSpunkCakes realized i messed up the title a couple minutes after i posted and didn't want to find the video again to correct myself ty

[WWEVideoTheUploader2]

headbandgers anthem lol

[HiiiImMario]

this song made my nipples hard.

[Endermenrule]

THIS SONG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!



[Roygoos]

...Tim's haircut. o.o'''

[81supernova]

i do my homework and jam to this lol

[baar34]

@81supernova if it weren't for music, I swear I would've failed every grade.

[eggertstwart]

gh3ftw

[Snowzzzs]

This song is awesome.

[Devicty]

I hate the fact these guys like PETA. :(

[TheElementalBlood]

@Devicty not all supporters of PETA are extremists. Most of the community looks down on the weird ones too. There is a huge difference between speaking out against animal cruelty and throwing red paint at people.

[coolguyinthe562]

@Devicty whats PETA?

[fargone164]

@coolguyinthe562 an international organization for the ethnic treatment of animals,

[comicbookprodigy995]

@coolguyinthe562 People Eating Tasty Animals.

[TheBladexl]

11 couldnt stand there ground

[rruizanimations1]

now that you think about it dislike button's probably more famous than he who shall not be named

[chemicalJK]

@rruizanimations1 HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED HAHAHAHAHAH GOOD ONE BRO

[Patspwnage]

First Rise Against song I've heard. It's alright but not what I would ever play. Sounds like melodic hardcore or pop punk on the punk side.

[MrOdawgs]

tap your hand with the guitar about 0:54 it sounds like a heart beat

[TheOnlyTempesT]

love this song, work out to it all the time at the gym... it reminds me of myself and all of us here in afghanistan, the lyrics are very relevent.

[rdavis232]

@TheOnlyTempesT @TheOnlyTempesT Really? A song about marxism and people who fit under the term "refugee" reminds you of yourself, and other soldiers, that create refugees?this song is about people who are exploited by people who are doing what you do. I am so glad I got out when I did....it seems like the people who are in long term always try and play the Martyr role and never realize that they as pawns are creating problems.

[TheOnlyTempesT]

@rdavis232 "Before we packed our bags And left all this behind us in the dust, We had a place that we could call home, And a life no one could touch." -Packing our bags and leaving home to go to war "We are the angry and the desperate, The hungry, and the cold, We are the ones who kept quiet, And always did what we were told." -We are angry and desperate in war, we go days without food, living in horrible living conditions, and if it is winter then we are cold as hell.

[TheOnlyTempesT]

@rdavis232

-We have to keep quiet and do what we are told without talking back in order to survive

"But we've been sweating while you slept so calm,

In the safety of your home.

We've been pulling out the nails that hold up

Everything you've known."

-While america sleeps calm in their peaceful homes we are being motared and attacked, we are working and sacrificing everything to hold up everything america knows, all the freedoms everyone enjoys and usually takes for granted.

[TheOnlyTempesT]

@TheOnlyTempesT Mortared*

[TheOnlyTempesT]

I mean i'm not going to sit here and really explain it word for word to someone I don't know on the internet but yes, this song is very relevent to myself and my brothers in arms who are currently involved in a war. I think I speak for more than myself when I say good thing you got out of the military because the military doesn't need hippies, so to speak lol. Have you been on a deployment, seen a lot of combat? If so you would realize it isn't about politics,it's so much more than mere politics

[rdavis232]

Under your logic system the song could equally be relevant to hermit crabs looking for a new shell during a shortage of food, as it would be just as applicable. The purpose of the words are seen in the title "prayer of the refugee" The first thing a 3000, or greater, lvl college hist, anthro, or bio teaches you, is to not pick things apart for your own synthesis, but rather look at everything as a whole for meaning.

[rdavis232]

So, looking at this as a whole, the word "Refugee" means : A person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. However, you are in another country bringing war..... You Must Be Right. The song is obviously about the exact opposite of what the definition of its very title implies, or, for that matter, what the lead singer has said the song is about. Obviously your interpretation is above definitions or the artist's intent

[rdavis232]

Furthermore, you signed up for the job. Just as I did. It was not forced upon you. Last I recalled, from being stationed in a foreign dessert myself, we were not protecting the American People at all, but trying to get ourselves out of trouble caused by us ignorantly stirring up problems, and trying to bring some small level of order to a place we brought exponentially more chaos to.

[SlasherED154]

0:00 free replay :B

[AllEyezOnDenIli]

@SlasherED154 "=B"  A bra?

[hokmahmilitia]

Thumbs up if you heard these guys before they were famous...thats right your not so special now...

[EsplodingBomb]

@hokmahmilitia Damn hipsters...

[hokmahmilitia]

@EsplodingBomb hell ya man ~_^

[thelostrune]

@EsplodingBomb Too mainstream

[ysnmue95]

@hokmahmilitia HIPSTER!!! :P

[ThyReaperGrim]

@hokmahmilitia Hipster alert!

[coolguyinthe562]

@hokmahmilitia Did you? honestly...

[pkmnz1]

@hokmahmilitia Since when did they become famous? Because to me. RA seems to be the most underrated band in history.

[fatguyeatscheetos]

@hokmahmilitia seems to me that ra doesn't realy seek fame and could care less if they were famous or not they just play for the love of music and what they believe in it doesn't matter if you found them before or after more people listened to them the messages are still the same

[hokmahmilitia]

@fatguyeatscheetos amen

[TaimaDjinn]

@hokmahmilitia Now that they are famous, they suck like Green Day.

[fugginuts]

@TaimaDjinn you suck like your mom

[MrAwesomeLakaiGuy]

@hokmahmilitia Anyone who likes them later is as special as someone who likes them before they were famous.

[hokmahmilitia]

@MrAwesomeLakaiGuy agreed that is the whole point of my comment

[TRAPBOULTERNAS]

@hokmahmilitia who said they were trying to be special?

[surfinwiki]

10 people didn't like gotyaman1's comment. (Pwned :P)

[surfinwiki]

Thumbs up if you got the mp3 using videoMP3(dot)com from this video.

[juanpablorockshard]

I was looking for this song and it's the best sound quality that i found because VEVO gets stuck in my computer. But I think that anyway this is better than VEVO!!!!!!! Thank u By posting this video!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KylieGoRawr]

The guy all the way to the left looks like Matthew from The New Adventures Of Old Christine

[qckiller10]

is this not just the most fucking badass song in the world

[MarioTheEchidna]

Who cares whether you heard the song on your own or from Guitar Hero, bottom line is it's a great song.

[scando1444]

@MarioTheEchidna first time i heard this song was at a concert

[Beowulfhinamo]

You know, I was thinking about bashing the 10 people who disliked this, Though instead i would liked you to try and interpret this dance i have assembled in 1s and 0s...

110001011010010110001010111010­100101100101001101010010010100­100101110111011010101101100110­101101010101001110101010101010­101010100101010101011100011010­101010101010101000101011100101­010011001100110110011000100001­111001111110010101010101000101­010101001010101001001100101010­1 That is binary for... Get Bent number 10...

[TheMadzkuq]

i love this song!

[VitaSiteTV]

Guitar Hero 3!!! zajebiste to :)

[Ladei4Lyfe]

The song's internal message deals with loneliness and homelessness...js...

[zookotech]

WTF i think this song cured my hay fever? Seriously I'm not joking 3minutes and 21 seconds ago i was sneezing so bad and my eyes were watering like mad! O_o

[TheMENAREMYLIFE]

@zookotech ok

[DrewLeybourn]

@zookotech Cool story bro.

[chungalungas]

@DrewLeybourn Tell it again.

[bassgeek3]

This is the first rise against song i heard.

Rise Against is the only kick ass music on the radio now after green day started sucking.

[IAmHonkBlarg]

It's also on Rock Band as DLC, just saying. (Duckface)

[TheRyuuku123]

[1234569857]

[ArsenalForever112]

8 people works with Osama Bin Laden and Hitler(Even if he's dead)

[GroundPhobia]

@ArsenalForever112 cross of bin laden he's dead now also XD

[JukoDDT]

I felt the same way about high school.

[6XxDark6AngelxX6]

[DrunkenHart]

[Mewtwofangirl]

[toriinprogress]

\m/ Rise up & eat our dirt bitches!!! <3

[gotyaman1]

7 people are....SHUT UP YOUR NOT THE FIRST ONE TO MAKE A JOKE ON THE DISLIKES so no one thinks its funny because we have all heard the comments a 1000000 times!!

[chungalungas]

@gotyaman1 Yeah, cuz you know, I've never heard a comment making fun of actual funny comments, therefore making their comments (Or your comment) ridiculous and stupid, while also being hypocritical. Why can't you leave funny comments alone? Just because they're over done doesn't mean they're not funny. Though, comments like yours, that are over used, are not even close to funny. Douchebag.

[thtgurl100]

Just to make @gotyaman1 mad...

8 people's dicks are as big as the dislike bar.

[MrSilverHero]

@gotyaman1 How true. Ignore them, they want to be all the same.

[psphorror]

@gotyaman1 gotyaman just to make you angry

9 people deserve interacial gay buttsecks for disliking this video.

[mentalproductions1]

@psphorror psphorror u deserve interacial butt sex for spelling sex wrong

7 people will become slaves tonight. 

[AbiBazzoli]

Replay replay replay!!!

[caseybear147]

I understand the general idea of the story that this song represents, but I'm wondering why the person telling this story would be so reluctant to receive help from anyone? Could anyone help me better understand this song?

[HBCjunke]

@caseybear147 its basically just about how globalization, while promising improvment, just screws up peoples lives in then 3rd world.

[henlypoop]

Amazing guitar solo!

[guitar45rocks5]

i love this song, learned how to play the solo

[alanihawaii123]

I love this song way too much. The first time I got it I think I listened to it maybe three or four times in a row. XD Rise Against is amazing...nothing else needs to be said.

[goodperson656]

[axltreme]

@goodperson656 Don't respond to this guy. He's just being a troll.

Rise Against FTW

[MJTRadio]

Thumbs up if you had a passion for this song before Guitar Hero

[Reyrocksall]

@MJTRadio I don't play Guitar Hero. Do I count?

[Blarggle]

@MJTRadio You don't get any cool points. Your credibility stays the same but your pretentiousness has definitely gone up. Congrats you look like an elitist.

[MJTRadio]

@Blarggle You mistake me for someone who cares about the opinion of someone who dislikes a comment I made over the internet

[Blarggle]

@MJTRadio oh.ok. my bad.

[Nogoalov02]

@Blarggle whoa, someone woke up with some rich guys dick up his ass
