  • we live in a free country but its not that free

  • Hang in kids, i think this band is honest.

    Good luck. Very hard times ahead.

  • They are like the only band/musician left in this world that actually sing with a meaning and not random bullshit.

  • Whether you like the flobots or not you have to agree that they have brought our nation together with their message

  • it's nice to hear someone rapping about something other than money and bitches.

  • Amen.

  • Not really concerning da song,but w/e....Americans have been complainin bout erything(government,life-style­,racism,etc)but da truth is they will NEVER act on it. They just yap their mouths but NO ONE will ever stand up and yell from the top of their lungs : "REVOLUTION,2DAY DA PEOPLE WILL OWN THE POWER!"Why not?Well mostly because they are actually livin a better life than half the rest of the world, they are partly brain-washed,and prolly killed on the spot if they actually tried to do smth...

  • mataiiverde, u are 100% right, time for people to stop talkin and start doing something to change whats goin on. "Stop bitching, start a revolution"

  • I love the fucking Flobots. They came to Cincinnati last night and I had a spot right on the stage and I got to shake the hand of everyone in the band. It was the greatest concert I have ever been to, hands down.

  • really good song

  • finally. something real

  • i love flobots because they have good music but they actualy do something for the community, all other bands are always just sittin around but flobots do fooddrives, community projects, and a shitload of other good stuff

  • omg last school year the lead singer of this song came to my school and preformed so gangsta lol and depending on how good ur academics were u could meet him i did hes pretty cool he's not so black and wite like other rappers hes a good guy

  • one of the best songs

  • I'm not American but I think there cause is so good and the meanings in there songs are so true.

  • now this is rap fuck lil wayne

  • I like it

  • your an idiot.

  • wow, this song never gets old! it's so awsome!

  • cool song

  • johnny 5 is such a good rapper, damn

  • i love da fact thaat the flobots kan like make great music and insoire otheres to be better ppl.... they are one of the gratest bands of all times, love diz song, isnt the genre to diz zong rap??

  • What's with the unnecessary genre arguments? Just get over yourselves, it doesn't have to be classified to be enjoyed, I don't care if it's nu-metal-punk-rap-hard-metal-c­ore or whatever, the lyrics are awesome, the musicality's awesome, the vocals are awesome, the arrangement's awesome and the message this band puts across is even better.

  • yep

  • I totally agree with you!

  • LOVE - IT! :D this song is amazing!!

  • fuck a genre love music

  • I love Flobot's amazingly unique and awesome style, they are freaking awesome

  • @JojoMnstr same with me! i hate rap,hip-hop, and pop...i listen to rock, metal, ect but Flobots is awesome! :D

  • I rise with no one but myself.

    Cant always depend on others mes amis.

  • Im really not a rap listener, i love my rock/metal/alternative, i have to admit that flobots is awesome, this is real, and not shitty like most other rap songs. I <3 Flobots "Together We Rise"

  • I totally agree... some rap is just stupid... this has a meaning lol

  • It does :]

  • well i think Flobots is the same genre as Hollywood Undead which is rapcore which is like rock/rap which is better than gay ass rap

  • not as hardcore as Hollywood undead..

  • ya true

  • exelente musica,por sus videos veo que son muy politicos(no se ingles ),pero me quedo con su trabajo como musicos

  • u say rap i say Rock

    u say 50 cent i say Disturbed

    u say akon i say Amon Amarth

    listen to real music!

  • u say rock i say metal

    u say disturbed i say August Burns Red

    u say Amon Amarth i say Underoath

    lol

  • I like what your saying... but Disturbed isn't rock. Infact, no one can say truely what they are. Isn't the word for that like contemporary artist or something?

  • I beleive mainstream is what your looking for my good sir

  • disturbed is nu metal, hard rock, heavy metal bands dont have to be just one genre

  • *cough* Metalcore sucks *cough*

  • ue dumb amon amarth is not rock its viking metal so for u to say a.a is work to underoath id metal cant work

  • @Rockr98: Thanks, that helps.

    @CurlyQ: Thats my point. Disturbed is a band you can't label. If you give them a label for one music, they have other music that contradicts that label. Thus, I am going with Rockr98's correction of my post which is: Mainstream

    @lordofromance: I have no words for your lack of english and grammar

  • i know i thought it was rock b.c it said rock, and i know underoath is screamo but yea i often just say metal cuz ppl will think im an emo if i say screamo or metalcore or w/e

  • u say kanye west i say nas

    u say lil wayne i say mobb deep

    u say the game i say N.W.A

    u say akon i say flobots

    u say chris brown i say 2pac

    most ppl these days listen to washed-out, shitty rap. if ur still one of the few ppl who listen to real rap, please rise

  • yeh i meant with the rapping

  • honestly, i dont like rap, but this group really got me more into it

  • this group is exelenet i love flobots and i´m from to colombia ; i like the good music and flibots is great i listen all the cds and the lirics is exelent

  • we rise together,rise,rise,rise

  • its a bit like linkin park

  • become a fan of Observitism on facebook, this what the world is al about

  • I feel that flobots is what America stands for...the joining of culture and using it to inspire! rap&rock together sure is awesome...especially when its uplifting and positive

    Only together we rise

  • awesome song

  • every song they made has a meaning

    they are so sick

  • The quickest way to destroy a country is to turn it against itself. Dont be caught in the emotion. Think logically and act accordingly.

  • 4/12/1861 NEVER FORGET

  • Whats the civil war have to do with this? this song is about coming together not tearing ourselves apart? i just dont see your logic there?

  • umm what happend on that day?

  • dumb nigggas in mi classs dnt understand this awesomeness

  • They are so revolutionary! They are writing music to get famous and try to promote their own agenda! No one has EVER done that before!

  • accept Jesus in your heart and grow spiritually is only way to escape judgment day

  • I'd rather escape going to church.

  • flobots get down with the lyrics

  • @13lovepower i know i went to the concert

  • Comment removed

  • flobots r just so good

  • If you really listen to the lyrics, not just the "catchy tune", it's simply amazing. <3

    Flobots.

    Are.

    Rad.

  • These guys r the TITZ!!

  • Flobots are a amazing band.

    And they have a load of other songs that are fantastic too.

    Flobots for life :D

    I'm so glad I discoverd them.

  • they are a must see live! drove 3 1/2 hours to see them and its totaly worth it.

  • flobots are sooooo amazin

  • is flobots a group or just the rapper?

  • group, it interchanges members aswell

  • @FailedHornet tell that to your dad

  • wot makes u say that asshole its just coz u like the classical stuff it depends on wot kind of music u like FOCKERRRRRRR

  • How can you even say that shit. your lame dude. The message in modern day Rap is fucking lame and disgusting. Try listening to some real Hip-Hop. . . douche

  • i listen real hip hop dude and merral flobots is modern day hip hop, i dont ride a coporate dick, in fact the exact opposite im opposed to 95% of mainstream rap aside from early eminem and early jay-z otherwise all rappers in the top 40 can suck dick. Flobots suck bottom line and as to monkey dog anyone who promotes a revolution through music can suck a dick

  • some valid points. but to say that the message flobots is trying to send is lame is pretty outrageous and unamerican

  • @merral1 actually if the american public as a majority feels like the government is not accomplishing what the people want, then they have the right that is sourced in the Declaration of Independence to Haku. that is over throw the government and form a new one. but it isn't unamerican since that is what the new america was founded on and is still carried on today through the mandatory education that is present at all times.

  • @buck0brandt The fuck are you talking about. Your comment has nothing to do wit hanything i've said and i dont care about your ramblings. I was replying to another persons comment which was part of a conversation that you had nothing to do with.....Good effort tho. in on ear and out th other for me.

  • LOL @FailedHornet - Everyone has their own opinion, but if you think their message is lame, what do you think ISN'T lame? Do you like rap about how many hos, how much money, and how much brand-name clothing you have? Or are you pro-evil corporation? Hard to understand where you could possibly be coming from.

  • i come from an standpoint that likes real hip-hop not trash

  • Well i wouldn't really call this song trash...It is a fair attempt at trying to do political hip hop. Like Rage against the Machine. Hip Hop imo should have a message or atleast a story. Crap out today is about how many cars i have and what liquor i drink and fucking bitches with my medallion on. Ummmm pretentious rubbish. But there are more sheep then wolves so i cant be suprised of whats popular.

  • rage against the machine is almost the opposite of this band, this band is basically about standing strong to obtain peace, to help people, and to rebuild while rage against the machine is supporting anger and actually fighting the government.

  • @daddybadfish lol.

  • this is real rap

  • Your just a fuckin idiot

    Flobots are so amazzin!

    Your lame dude dont even bother

  • the violinist is hot

  • agreed

  • Great song

  • this song was made to show other country's that although everyone calls us "the richest country on earth"we are really just like everybody else we have homeless people living on the streets and we also have rich people.we are just like the U.K. ,we are just like japan, and china and we are just like many other countrys.

  • agreed

  • Actually the countries you listed there are all quite well educated in foreign affairs. I don't think this song is that patronising.

  • yes you are quite right but i was actully just naming other countries of the top of my head but you are right.just replace the u.k. japan,and china with other countries.

  • OMG, I saw those guys last night!

  • I do not want to make a ringtone.Bitch.

  • Why you all arguing about religion, i mean christianity is a false reiligion at that but why argue at all, enjoy the song isent it what you typed it in for??

  • christianity is real.and i urge you to believe but it is your choice that is why we have free rights.that is all i have to say.

  • u never know but y argue

  • flobots are the shit!

  • ur mum is the shit!

  • I was supposed to go to the concert tonight but yesterday I lost my leg so now im stuck in the hospital with my laptop, life sucks

  • um ouch hope you get better dude.

  • Wait....what?

  • im sorry man

  • this band rocks :) this song really helps me feel different and describes my feelings :/

  • saw flobots in breckenridge last night. such an awesome show. crazy energy.

  • I want one of those bandannas

  • "Fuck your yellow ribbon. If you want to support our troops, bring them home."

  • the fat man raising his arms up in 1:11 is epic

  • Yeah really.. why so american..

    This should be for the world .. Canada,China,Britain, Australia etc..

    Still a great message though.

  • because they are american, and this is for the world but you take care of home forst. we're supposidly the riches country in the world but have sooooo many homeless people in the us. this song puts out the word to the whole world but in this video they are helping there own country. while telling the rest of the world.

  • Comment removed

  • Why they so american?

  • I've seen these guys in concert twice, I've met them twice, and i have three of everybody's autograph in the band. They r so awsome and know how to get u involved and going. They're my favorite band in the world because they believe we can do it. Rock on FLOBOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Life is what you make it. You don't need a god to tell you how to live your life. In your heart you know what's right and wrong. This song is telling you to stand by your fellow humans being to make life better. Isn't that what "god" wants, to help out and be a better person than what you are?

  • so...ur sayin god shouldn't tell u to be good to other people, and to do good deeds and all that other nice stuff?

  • Cause there is no God

    FLAME ME

  • lol, how nice for you, so lemme ask ya this, what happens when ya die, do u turn into a pretty tree =)

  • "god" shouldn't have to tell you how to be. Have you heard of The Feather of Ma'at? Check that out and get back to me.

    @Act. I'm not flaming you, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and no one should judge you because of that.

    @rio. If I come back as a tree, it's because a) I wanted to b) I deserved it

  • Let me put it this way:

    You have two people, who are identical. They both live morally uplifting lives. Giving to the needy, being respectful of their fellow humans and such. One believes in God, the other doesn't. The one who doesn't goes straight to hell because they don't worship God.

    I don't worship the Judeo/Christian/Muslim faith. my religion (witchcraft for all you bible thumpers) taught me to be better than what I am, so I always strive to help out my fellow man.

  • IF you do come back as a tree i hope someone chopps you up and makes you paper for a bible...

  • Now is that Christlike.

  • lol quoting dane cook

  • dane cook is the man

  • yeah but if your trying to get a point across a quote from a comedian isn't the best to use.

  • which craft isnt a religion dude, sorry to break it to you lol

  • dane cook is a moron, and I know WITCH craft isn't a religion, it's a way of life. and if I came back as a tree that got chopped down to make a bible, then oh well, that's the way of the universe!

  • The bible doesnt say that if you dont believe in God you'll go to Hell. So your statment is now benign try again please. Go fly a broom.

  • Lol. I'm agnostic, and yes it does you ignorant little moth.

  • I wasn't even talking to you and No it does not. Depending on your religion at least. The Christian bible does not though. It says that anyone that is good of heart will go to heaven.

  • you're wrong it says that but it is also written very clearly taht you must follow god, no one may come to the father but through jesus you're also supposed to put your faith in god and so many different ways it is said the whole basis of the bible is guidlines to get to heaven to be with GOD. it tells history with lesoons to teach you things how can you have read the bible at all with out not knowing you have to beleave in god after you have read it. you shou;d read it again respectfully.

  • I was born and raised a catholic cairo, and every other christian i've met says the same thing and so do all of their bibles. If you're going to pretend to know everything about something, at least know what you're talking about. otherwise you sound like an ignorant douchebag.

  • Honestly people how did this conversation end up at einstein. Just listen to the song its great your overthinking everything

  • anyone else get a strong urge to go work in a soup kitchen or something after watching this?

  • we do not choose to be born

    we do not choose to go to war

    we do not choose to exist

    we do not choose to choose

    we are chosen

    face it

  • well hawking said we may live in a holigraphic universe. So are we really here? I think not.

  • we do choose, face it

  • little sad ain't it? we dont choose for anything, things are like this all the time! its sad to think like this but is true!

  • what does religion and Einstein have anything to do with this vid?

  • this is a "patriots' " song, but beyond the conventional definition of what that means...and how did religion made it into the comments of this video??

  • deadly boii

  • Love the viola.

  • this is uplifting

  • this is sooo gay!!!!

    only americans can achieve such degree of faggotishm

  • I'm saddened by your horrible taste of music, and your awful grammar and sense of being more important than everybody.

  • Flobots is a great band

  • Science is the ultimate religion, in my opinion, but then again Einstein himself said not all things can be explained by science

  • No he didn't, the myth that Einstein was in anyway religious were dismissed recently with letters from the man himself saying it was all hocus pocus. Science is a method of finding out how something works, even if God exists he has a method and that's what science looks for. Any belief you find in science you make so of your own accord, not through the discipline.

  • thats not true at all. I quote:

    "religion with out science is blind, science without religion is lame"

  • Einstein also said and I quote:

    ""The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."

    What he meant in reference to your quote is that the structure of religion is important for humans. No need to apologise, humility is not a common feature on youtube, however check your facts in future.

  • Quote my ass

  • Well he actually said that he believed in a creater but didnt assign any religion that being. Most cosmologist agree. Not that it matters, who cares what he thought?? its up to you to make up your own mind.

  • That's wrong mate, he was an admitted Jew , however he didn't see them as the people of god and no more special then you or I, he also said he didn't believe in God. I am agnostic so it's of little difference to me what he believed, it's just a common misconception and I wanted people to know the truth...they don't have to read it if they don't like it.

  • 2012 is based of an acient Mayan prophecy, according to the bible, we still have about 1,007 years left I believe until the rapture. (God Takes his Bride;The Christians) Pretty unbelievable, really. literally. lol

  • Is not the movie...This is a prophecy from mayans if i am right...

  • @MrShadowcat95 why do you have to hate so much

  • Lol: 2012 is fake... cause there is a movie about it doesnt mean it becomes real ;)

  • @MrShadowcat95

    looks like u dont know SHIT.

    fucking junior high bitch.

  • How can you believe this? The Aztec's or Mayans (whichever ones calendar ended in 2012) most likely only ended the calendar because they DIED.

  • or they figured they wouldnt even be alive that far ahead and just got bored so they were like pshhhh forget it lol

  • i know or they were like fuck it im done predicting the future

  • TROLLING

  • i just saw flobots for the second time live tonight, and you know, if you don't agree with them, it's okay. but everybody has gotta have something to reach for. i didn't expect to see an intense debate through youtube comments. it's a good song.

  • edger83, you don't belong here, go away

  • I dont agree with him (edger83), but they stated a valid opinion and i respect that.

    I dont respect you telling people that they dont belong to something that doesnt belong to you.

    Stop being a troll and make a point.

  • Catchy song, and I see the message. I still think these guys look like a bunch of thugs, though. Making clothing out of an American flag is a sign of disrespect, as is wearing it like a bank robber. I'm all for improving your surroundings, and bettering your community, but taking a guerilla approach when we live in a representative democracy is stupid and over the top. Vote, make educated decisions, and clean up your community. But don't do it because you think you're some sort of radical.
