  • i love this song :) Rise Against ROCKS!!!

  • This is not george bush as a child,

    this is the metaphor that george bush IS a child.

  • I LOVE Rise Against. <3 They are completely utterly amazing. (:

  • THAT kid must be george BUSH when he was young im 1000000000%

  • yeah Rise Against roooock!

  • Their music is so morale :)

    Love it :)

  • the guy 2 below me, thats exsactly what i thought to. just becasue of the lyricss

  • how is that pop?????

  • haha total bush burn

  • yes :(

  • i know this has nothing to do with the video, but when i heard this before i thought of it being about a girl.... just listen to the lyrics and dont watch the video??

  • me too.

  • lol you're right

  • Well, part of it could be. Most of it is about lost youth and innocence though.

  • A song can be about whatever you want it to be. That's the beauty of music.

  • Well said.

  • That's an awesome quote. Original or are you quoting someone else?

  • original of course

  • it is.........

  • well acutually its about friendship thats what i have heard

  • Nice song and great band...

    Few worlds to define what's good in music...

  • punk isn't about the music, it's about the message and being true to it

    they still have that message, and they still live it, that's what matters

  • well,at least you have something that isn't Copyrighted by UMG or WMG thank jesus.

  • shut up stop talking about democracy and listin to the song jesus

  • the song was made so that we would open our eyes and think about whats happening

    so u can go fuck yourself! seeing as your still just a slave to society

  • no just a good song from a good band with a meaningful music video im saying to enjoy it instead of arguing like idiots on youtube

  • haaha yes! tell them anaklusmos

  • drinkin

  • While it is true that democracy has existed, we are ravaged by the fact that no nation has yet to return to a true democracy and with the way laws are now around the world, democracy will never return in its pure form. Only way to return to that democracy is a revolution, which in most cases has had a failed revolution, example being the Communist Revolution in Soviet Russia and how it lasted for a short while, but then fell. It's a shame we live without true democracy today.

  • ...um how was a violent revolution an expression of Democracy?

    the Soviets were terrible people who murdered millions, "silenced" critics, and held a people back from thier potential,

    how dare you say they were 'democratic'

    does a CENTURY of failure prove nothing?

  • Arguable the most powerful nation in the world and unarguabe the second most power behind the US in the cold war, how is that a failure?

  • Powerful?? Yes, but might does not always make right,

    They were a repressive and horrible place to live. consider your ability to speak freely about the subject proof Enough,

    The ""Soviet Citizens"" were merely slaves

  • Wow, the lead singer looks really bourgeois here compared to, say, the video for "Give it all." The song isn't bad, but even it sounds a lot more conventional... I'm missing the rage.

  • 75% das pessoas que leem isto tentam lamber o cotovelo

  • E' un po' maleducato scrivere in portoghese quando sai benissimo che nessuno ti capisce!

  • Good song thanks

  • yes i can.

  • Yes, i just did...

    I also managed to click the spam button XD

  • Everyone needs to take a step back from dissing Bush and Obama... quit worrying about them and make a difference yourselves.

  • one of the best song of this album...

  • oh god! i love this album! And in november they'll play in BCN

  • This song is just deep, and the beat is

    by far nice. Grats. :]

  • my god, am i ever happy that im not an amerifag, jeez you morons are fucking stupid!

  • great song but too many of you dicks take this to seriously!!listen to the fucking music and consume the fucking knowledge coming from it.....or get the fuck out of america

  • I agree with you green! awesome song!

  • drummer is awsome like whole Rise Against <3 5 starsssss

  • great quality video, great song, 5 stars ***** :D

  • Control over the world at he tip of your fingers. It gives me the chills what a man can do with his control.

  • In a democratic country, a president cant simply do WHATEVER he or she wanted.

  • America is not a Democracy. America is a Democratic Republic. There is currently no true Democracy in the world. The last true Democracy died with Athens when Sparta invaded.

  • Really? I always thought USA was a federal constitutional republic. And I dont really get what you meant to my comment, most countries in the world are identified as democratic.

  • In a true democracy the leader is no more than a figurehead. In addition, ALL laws are voted on by the public. In a Democratic Republic you elect leaders to vote on the laws for you. Many nations in the world are considered "democratic" only because they are closer to true democracy than many other governments in the world. They still aren't quite there as you can see by the definition of a true democracy. Ancient Athens was the first and last true democracy in the world so far.

  • there is no true anything anymore. everything is a mixture now pretty much

  • In the world, there is currently no such thing as a true democracy. Doesn't mean the idea doesn't still exist. Chances are, there will never be another democracy, but I can dream can't I? lol

  • you are actually incorrect america was formed by our founding fatrhers to be an aristocratic republic look it up youll be suprised

  • While that may be true, I never mentioned our founding fathers. I only mentioned what we are considered by the world now and my ideal form of government.

  • No poeple cant, and why should they? This is what there music is all about, the bullshit going on around the world. Im not anti bush, im not anti obama... this music is meant to have a message, just like all there songs. Its up to you to intrepret the lyrics.

  • can't some people watch Rise Against without seeing comments on Bush and Obama? Seriously, if that's what you're looking for make a blog or somethin but don't do your work on youtube.

  • lol

  • that is the best made video ive seen in a

    LOOONG time.

    wow

  • rise aginst is the bomb they pwn i have no cds of them but i do have them on my i pod whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooo rock on rise against

  • Wow. There are so many ways to interpret this video. I love Rise Against. Really. The ideas in their lyrics... so passionate. Strong. <3 Great video!

  • BEST VIDEO EVER

    totaly true, america is bush's play ground.

    FUCK BUSH! DEMOCRACY FAILED ON NOVEMBER 7TH, 2000!

    UP WITH THE WORLD!

  • what did Bush do to make you hate him so much?

  • forget Bush -- forget Obama --- forget Democrat and Republic . Forget race and gender bs, and open your EYES --see what is being done to the country --- and the world!!!!! Be scared but not afraid !!!! Get mad !

  • bush is sh3tty president i ever seen and has in my life. if mccain was president he wouldve gotten hispanics to be less noticed like mexicans getting deported. Thank god obama was president. Rise against best band

  • i agree

    what did Bush ever do?

  • A very powerful message indeed.

  • i hate bush i really do

  • I dont get the part were he puts the bride down.?

  • It's two men, originally.

  • oh i see. thx

  • The little boy is suposed 2 represent bush right?

  • Comment removed

  • lol

  • i talk alot on this channel

  • This video is cool, but the lyrics... godamit, its fabulous! We ran like vampires from the thousand burning suns, but even then we should have stayed! theyre so right! i hope theyll make a vid for the songs From heads unworthy or The strenght to go on or Whereabouts unknown! my favs! Liyrics and RA... this is never wrong!

  • I Love This Song But I Dont Understand The Video Like It Seems Like Life Is Like Its Controlled By a Kid Cuz When The Kid Blowed The Candles Then There Was A Huge Wind Storm and The Kid Puts Tanks Then War Start I Dont Understand Can Someone Please Tell Me

  • It's george bush controlling the united states..

  • Thanks

  • They're explaining (in song) what the past was like, when George Bush was in charge.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!

  • Comment removed

  • wow

    this is no where near how i imagined the music video for this song wld go

    haha

  • RA is unpredictable. :D

  • The guys voice is teriable but every thing elts sounds good.

  • no i actually think hes good

    hes not bad but maybe its just not you're taste

  • In your opinion. I think it fits perfect in this band, without him rise Against wouldn't be amazing.

  • The band sounds great but the guy cant sing worth a shit.

  • make some sense arsehole

  • you guys need a life

    just listen to the music and comment postive..

    this person obviously worked hard

  • I come to this video Expecting coments like "Nice Song" "Amazing Lyrics", Or something along those lines. But instead I arrive at a Argument. FOR F***ing Sakes people its a song enjoy it. You know music is used as a form of escapism, you use it to seporate your self from your problems, Not to listen to it while you argue aimlessly over the internet! Ellebelle has a point, we have it pretty damn good here in America, and NiceYouFail is being a dick not admitting he's lost, Everyone plz STFU.

  • Thats YouTube for Ya

  • The Sad Truth...

  • i think governments get screwed up because of people angueing over something that should be let go..

  • well, you know if you guys are really driven that much by this, then do something about it. you're not really getting anywhere if you are complaining about it underneath a music video on youtube. complain publicly, do something. i dont know. but i swear to God, its pointless for people to be posting blogs and s*** and think that it makes a difference.

  • you can suck a fat one

  • Comment removed

  • The video is very reminiscent of the old film beetlejuice, if anyone remembers it, that old scale model the male ghost made in the attic that beetlejuice lives in briefly

  • I know what your talking about, but its kind of different buti totally forgot about comparing it to this.

  • The video is amazing, but I think their new album was pretty weak... it's lacking in their typical rawness.

  • theyve gone less punk it seams like a good direction most consistant band about every song is good a couple i dont like but there great

  • saw them last night:)

  • you say rap is better than metal? fuck you

  • I love Rise Against

    Their new stuff aint as good as their old

  • the song has nothing to do with the video but i need the embed for my space

  • I think if you look deeper it does fit. as Americans we are being fooled

    by a corrupt government and or freedoms are being

    taken away by the second. world bankers think they own us like cattle. they don't care about us. Obamas a puppet just like

    all the others. Wake up America before its to late!

    I'm not running away, what are we running from. F*ck the NWO! God bless America.

  • HELLZ YEA. damn you sound a hell of alot like me

  • corrupt government? dude check out countries like india, africa etc....they are the true meaning of corrupt governments.

  • Actually no. Have you ever been in those places? Only if you've lived there for more than a year could you actually say that. Saying something is easy. I could say America has no government. Would that mean anything No. India actually has a better government than America. The government is very smart and is conscious of the people. That's why India is almost never involved in World Wars or any wars in that case. Even after the recent Mumbai Bombings, They had a perfect reason to attack Pakistan.

  • yes, that is why india spend almost half of their money on military services. Not sure if it has changed much. I have a couple of friends who have lived in India for years. I'm not saying America doesn't have a corrupt government and I totally see were your coming from. I'm not saying this to start conflict because that is just stupid.

  • Why wouldn't a country spend money on military. Here's an example. There's 10 people,, Pretty powerful in terms of society. They fight with each other. Now. Person A would send someone to kill Person B. Without someone to protect him he'd die for sure. That's why every country spends money on military. I highly doubt half of their money. I could also say America is fighting a pointless war. Which is 60% true. You really shouldn't say something without knowing about it is all I'm trying to say.

  • i have been to india....it is a pretty screwed up place. I have also been to america. If you compare the two countries...america is so much better.

  • Screwed up my ass. America is better cause it looks better? Wow great logic. America starts a worthless war. Goes into other people's private matters, and still is better? Wow. What war have you seen India involved in recently? Or in the last 100 years. You have no idea what the hell your talking about. You've never been there. Just the way you talk about it shows how little you know. Here's a quote from a Chinese Ambassador

  • where in india? ive been to india countless times my cousins even live there, they have no complaints and i think some parts of india is a BEAUTIFUL PLACE. one of the best, but i know what your saying. a lot is corrupted. and the america being better...opinion not fact.

  • India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border. The reason America was found, India. Columbus tried to go to India through another way. Founded America instead. Screwed up... My ass. Get a clue about what topic your on then talk about it. Being born there, I know more about it than you do. India is rich because her people have this special quality. Hefty bank accounts don't make people rich

  • go to india..then you might know. Bombay especially. At least you have freedom of speech, as for other countries. Anyway, thats my two cents worth. I'm not up for a battle.

  • Didn't I just say I was born there? I've been to every city that you know of. Bombay, Delhi, New Delhi, Patna, Ahmadabad. And just like Bbplaya said, No one who lives there has any complaints. It's actually a more peaceful lifestyle. You probably don't even know a district in Bombay without going to Google and looking it up.. Just to let you know, I've lived there for about 7 years. Then came to America. So I know what I'm talking about. A vacation in India doesn't cover it.

  • All i am trying to say is that there are countries out there that a more corrupt than America's. If you hate the government so much then why do you live in such a country where you take it for granted. There are worse places that America.

  • And I don't think you get what I'm trying to say, You can't say a country is corrupt or bad if you've never even been there. People can talk shit about anything. Believing it is a common mistake. Facts are greater than opinions. That's why you need to have had first hand experience about something to say something bad about it. If you didn't know. Right now most of the world hates America. Worthless wars, Going into things that are none of their business...

  • so what are you trying to say? America is the worse country in the world. Meh, I'm not here for anything just throwing in my opinion.

  • Stick to something.. First you acted like you were stating facts. Now opinions. And You said you didn't want a conflict, Look at the conflict. Isn't it simple what I'm trying to say? Maybe if you read my messages you'd know. It's in EVERY one of them.

    Here's my opinion about you.

    A person who doesn't know what their talking about and thinks he does but when he's proven wrong he won't admit it. Slowly, That's becoming a fact.

  • wrong...im a girl lol.

    Someone is agreesive. I'm just annoyed because you act like you have it bad.

  • I'm annoyed cause you think you know what your talking about and you actually know nothing. Why did you say you were in India then? Honestly it doesn't matter if your a girl or a boy. Facts don't change. You really don't know 85% of what your talking about.

  • lol. I never said i lived in india...

    but for fuck sakes...just stop complaining on who bad americas government. There are worse out there. That is my point. this is FACT! Niger are ran by fucking dictators...yes americas government might be fucked up, but there are worse out there. Get it?

    end of story.

  • Oh and for the record how do you know I don't know 85% of what I am talking about. Did you come and take over my mind and decide wether I know what I'm talking about? No! I bet you only the ignorant American's will agree with you.

  • By the way, How many times have you actually gone somewhere other than America for over a year.

  • no where...but I have been to niger. that place is screwed up so bad

  • America ranks with other countries as the worst country.

  • show me something like a website that has the worst ranked countries. I don't even live in America so I really couldn't give a shit. All I was saying is that there was worse places than America. So get over it. END OF STORY.

  • I could go on... but, whatever.

  • you have no proof...or do you? If you have hard evidence that suggests America ranks one of the worst countries, I would like to see it, anyway it is your opinion that America is a low ranking country, even though it has a reasonable literacy rate, high life span, excellent sanitation etc. I studied all this stuff last year. It is fact not my opinion.

  • America may have set a few bad examples to other countries, so what? Pedros you're only saying America is the worst country because from what you'r name states, your a fucking communist. But im with whoever is going to "rise against" the "system". Also, how many countries do you know that have awfull goverements and economies? I can name 5. Most countries in Africa, Asia, Russia, South America, and Arabia. So next time you say America's the worst country ever. Think about the other countries.

  • I didn't say it was the WORST. I ranked it as the worst... if you don't understand corruption then you shouldn't talk.

  • I'm a fellow Canadian as well as you are but why the hell are you talking shit about America. Even if its "corrupt" like you claim it is, where's your proof? I've never seen much corruption in the American government. Only thing I'm seeing is Obama having trouble with his international issues. (maybe I'm blind) BUT! that's why he has Hilary Clinton and Joe Bidon <-- not sure if that's right. But oh well. Don't go talking shit about countries when they are definitely not the worst.

  • Never? TRY Richard Nixon and the watergate scandal.... Reagan and his "war on drugs" George bush jr and senior and their wars in Iraq... It may not look like Obama is up to corruption, but... let's face it... power is almost always abused. if it's not obama who's doing the wrong things it's the politicians...

  • Well I guess I forgot about those things. I do agree with you that power is almost always abused but corruption in government doesn't make a country crap. Sure the world looks upon it and think how dirty of a trick that is especially like the watergate scandal. But still there are other factors that make a country grand.

  • Maybe not, but there's still a lot of things america falters in. take for example health care... canadians have to pay monthly for health care but it's not as bad as what the americans have to pay... many americans don't have health care so when they get injured they pay a lot of money...

  • eveyone just stop fighting this is why noboby like america you stike your nose were it dosent belong thats how all of your wars start also stop complaining and do somthing about it and make everyone proude to be an americam

  • Comment removed

  • I will not complain too much about the fact Jackpot lumped entire continents in with his countries comment. with that said I have to agree America has had a lot of corrupt leaders, not to mention CEO's. But that does not mean stereo-typing Obama and all Americans is a good way to argue your point. Obama is trying to get better heath care like Canada but that's not a easy process.

  • As far as being the worst country, maybe in some ways but not overall. you might want to visit some of the others before comparing them. While your there, you should ask them why they would all risk there lifes to come to America. No country is perfect and I think America is way better off than most, I personally think Canada is a great country but when your (Pedro) an ass it makes Canada look bad just like how Bush made all of us look bad. Just chill and enjoy the music :)

  • I didn't call it the worst country! I said it ranks in the worst and trust me i've been and lived in the united states... America has potential to be a great country and I truly believe in obama for the change... until i see it my opinion is set. I do not HATE america!

  • Well you just said it RANKS the worst country. Plus Obama's "change" thing is just like Martin Luther King Jrs. Speach. It might of been effective for a while, but inevitably it just wear's away. Plus the "stymulus package" is like what? $300 dollars per person? Try multiplying 300 with around 6 million people. Sure I live in America. But i don't think it's perfect. As a matter of fact i think the U.S kinda need's a little help. But nevertheless. I love my country. (i am not a damn patriot!)

  • Again stating that I said it ranks as the worst meaning it is NOT the worst but can be compared to some of the worst countries...

  • But AudiDriver, this song (and practically every Rise Against song) is about tyranny and dictatorship. Maybe a little kid. But meh... Im 13 and you don't see me with hugeass ears and destroying a vinel table XD. So w/e Rise Against (in their INFANITE wisdom), made alot of songs bout,well... I dunno... but i know it has to do with dictator's and colonization and shit like that. And about a few people who talk and talk and talk about random stuff. Yep thats me :D

  • The kid is supposed to look like Bush, if you hadn't noticed.

  • But guess what, They didn't. You want to know what corrupt government is? Bush Administration. Simple as that. America was one of the most corrupt countries. And if Obama doesn't do anything it still will be. Just because corruption isn't seen or heard physically doesn't mean it's not there. I have no clue about Africa, Never lived there. First atleast know something then say it's corrupt... It's like me saying your a retard. Without me even knowing who the hell you are. Does it make sense? NO.

  • One of the best songs off the new album.

  • to be honest this doesnt sound like the usual rise against but still good none the less. cheesy video though compared to their others

  • agreed, and i don't see how the video has anything to do with the song

  • Comment removed

  • i think there r better songs on the album 9which is impressive) but this is great to (Y)

  • Bought this album the day of release, and never looked back. one hell of an album! This song stands out from the rest, i must say.

  • they are amazing live

    leeds met 24/02 will not forget it for a long time

    they were amazing playing this !!!!!

  • Rise Against isn't metal, dumbass...

  • their new album isn't but some of their old stuff is. Every heard "State of the Union" without a doubt that song is heavy metal.
