everyone is way off. This is not about war or government. This is about our generation and how we arent respected and dont get the chance to voice our opinions. He is merely trying to say that we need to hold on and one of these days, we will get the chance to be heard. I hate it when people read lyrics word for word and take for face value. Think a little deeper. Its art, the meaning isnt gonna jump out at you, you have to find it
plus im not like im gonna go kill civillians maybe if the united states people backed up our military we would be done with this war and people that say we shouldnt be in there we need to pull out need to shut up because the soilders didnt giver there lives for nothing
great song, great artist, stupid media frenzy. When will you Yanks learn, that bigger is not better, and being 2 or 3 world power is not a bad thing. No other country respects you guys, you are merely the fat bully kid who picks on everyone and steals their lunch money.
If you're from the USA you can't give the comment I am replying to nor mine a thumbs down, because you have a biased opinion. Borkles has a point, no country has respect for the USA, and most do percieve the nation as a whole as a bully with a lot of firepower. Although the western word conforms to the values that the USA fight for, most disagree with the methods and actions in which they attempt to force their values onto other soverign states.
Its getting kinda old with the whole blame the US for everything , every nation around the world has done evil things to others and try to push their views on others.Instead of blaming each other we should work together and make this world a better place
Whatever. Eithier You're Stupid or Blind. "We All have a based opinion." We Don't Bully, We...You Got Me There But That Isn't The Point. We are In The Bad Places To Discard The Bad Leaders Of These Gangs And Bring World Peace. You Don't See Anyother Contries Trying, Do You?
did abolitionists wait? did Martin Luther king jr wait? did suffragettes wait? did people who went to jail standing up for their rights just wait? did Rosa Parks wait? shall i continue? do you get the point? were gonna fail at ruling the system at this rate well drop to the number 2 or 3 world power is the fight ever fair? if it was it would be disaster it wasnt fair for anyone and the lesser of the fight won when people fight they dont look for a fair fight they look for ppl they can beat
all i have to say is this.. everyone has/had to wait. people who made an impact in history had to wait. everyone does doesnt matter who i was.. everyone has done it. everyone needs to do it nothing GREAT comes at a drop of a dime or a flick of a switch it comes with patience, hardwork, commitment, and perserverence. its not a question of "is the fight fair" it was and still is a question of "are you willing to fight a fight even if you know that there is a chance that you cant win."
@cjdontthink2 I get what you're saying, but I've always kinda thought this song was slightly satirical.. obviously he has strong feelings about America and the world in general in the direction we're all going.. He's not exactly sitting around waiting on the world to change when he's writing music like this, music with a strong message (think Belief), that millions of people hear, is he?..
If John Mayer knew that you took his music and put it to this video....I don't think he would approve. He's a Democrat who's against the war. Check your facts.
In your defence I would say the pictures are appropriate, they show the current conflicts that needs to change. I might agree with some pictures being "pro US. soldiers", but the slideshow as a whole shows destruction and portrays war as something negative, in the same way the song does.
Yes, it will help. What could be more help than waiting? Hell, forget about college, let's wait until the high paying jobs come to us. Load of BS. The world isn't going to change on it's own, so don't wait on it. Can't really tell if this is an anti-war song or not, but sure sounds like it. Great idea... let's withdraw from Iraq because it's "pointless"! Yes! Thataway we can have a new war within our own country! OMG, genius!
And people like mosef123 and mikkio make me sick. The war is not BS. You should be praying and honoring those who fight for your freedom every goddamn day and are still willing to take ignorant comments such as yours, with no return comment. It's either in Iraq, or eventually it moves into my hometown, your hometown, everywhere. Get over your lousy thoughts and face the facts.
And for those of you who hate Bush... sure, he isn't the best President of all time, no doubt. But Jesus, Joseph, and doggy-style Mary, John Kerry would have just about spelt the end of the United States as we know it. Terrorists were hoping Kerry would get in because they knew they wouldn't have to worry about being bothered by military force. However, Bush got in, and their asses turned to grass. Thank God.
ha, actaully more than half of us didnt vote for him, plus his brother gave him the present of taking all the convicts freed and innocent off the voting list, along with those sharing the birthdays, thank god for freedom ^-^ ugh.
