@NickisElite Well on Onomatopoeia the whole band wasn't together but they released the album under Jonny 5 and Yak. Jonny 5 founded the Flobots and I believe he is the singer but it seems that none of the people who helped create Onomatopoeia are not in the Flobots today.
this is the most American shit i have ever heard. i remember listening to this back when it came and it's just like DAMN. these guys are pissed. this is punk as hell. and they are. and it is.
COME ON PEOPLE!!! You listen to this song but do you understand the message!? do you even try to listen to what they are trying to say??? yes its a great song but seriously! the world is a fucking corrupt place... but we still dont understand.
Good rap, like fort minor (kenji, right now, cigarettes) did when they made an album, like Lupe did with 'The Cool' (little weapon, streets on fire, put you on game), like Scrubius Pip does for the U.K (letter from god to man). One thing they all have in common? Each have a single very popular song, but few people understand the message behind the music. It's nice to find rap music that means something.
They are suprisingly good live too. Awesome group, best wishes to them.
I feel the same way, because it's the closest thing we've got to the movement / revolution.
Many people have different opinions of what music really is..
and I've made my own opinion clearly a few weeks ago...
it's not about blowing people away with intense solos, or seeing how fast you can play. How high your note can be, or even the "history" behind your song.
For me, it's about what's in your lyrics, and what message you're trying to get across. Flobots do this EXTREMELY well
My brother introduced this song to me. Not usually the kind of music I listen to. I just sat in my seat and listened to the words and i was like WOW. This song is amazing. It's one of the few songs/bands out there that puts a true meaning into their music. Beautiful <3
this rapper is brilliant, but he's gotta learn better stage presence. he barely moves anything except his spare hand. love the band though, very talented and intelligent.
Great spot. I think that the song kinda acnolages the injustices in the world but hte message is that one person can start a movement. When in hte chorus they say "Put your hands up and I'll copy you..." It's saying that if you start something, someone will follow your actions and change will result.
i personally think that this song is telling that ... the people of the world are in troubled ... about all the hunger all the homeless and the little amounts of people that are helping them and the people that are not helping at all and .... people in this nation need to stand up for this nation and do it for this country not other countrys ... take care of our nation first...... " i dont really kno what is about but that i what i think it kinda means......... good sounding song though...L8rrr
i think the message is to stand up for the people who are really in trouble "stand up we shall not be moved cept by a woman dieing from a loss of food"
Is this rap or rock? lol

That isn't relevant, they're not singing about religion regardless. You're missing the point of their music.
