  • INFOWARS

  • EPIC.

  • Sounds like America. I used to be so damn proud of this country. Now? No. Bills getting passed classifying protestors as low level terrorists and others allowing arrest without trial or probable cause. Are you kidding me? Now you want to censor the internet? Think for yourself. Fight for your rights.

  • FUCK SOPA!

  • I love this songg :) i wish it was longer it really describes whats going onn,-- Mariah (:

  • beginning sounds a lot like The Moon

  • the end if this gives me chills!

  • @yourENEMY1000 it goes with Mayday

  • this song need to be longer!!!

  • bleed mascara into the holy water supplies xD i can see that happening

  • Could Flobots possibly be censored by the government to be on the radio?

    Just a thought.

    Flobots forever.

  • @HarborSealGamer No because it's freedom of speech many people think like flobots do but these guys stand up to it through songs. They were in the organization fight with tools which is where they got there name and it's all about creating a better today.

  • @NecroMetro yes it can, remember, this is america -gives thumbs up-

  • @ustinklikeggs Yes, America has free will.

  • its hard to actualy pick up what they mean but when you do its awsome

  • @easterbunnyhelps What is this song trying to say? I'm retarded..

  • @azncoolz There is a war going on for your mind....read the title :)

  • Ironic, I can't watch this without having to close an ad for glee in concert.

  • got the first part from fight with tools but the made the rest by myself please give thumbs!

  • There's a war going on for your mind! Those who seek to occupy it will stop at nothing. The battlefield is everywhere; there is no sanctuary, there are no civilians. You have two choices: surrender or enlist. By enlisting you surrender and by surrendering you enlist. There is no escape or hide outs.You can refuse and resist but still lose. By losing you enlist. But beyond the smoke and mirrors there is one thing: freedom. But to reach it is impossible. There is a war going on for your mind.

  • @ryangeisse710 where did u get this from? its an amazing quote if it is

  • @Swish3point took one part from the song made the rest

  • @ryangeisse710 thats prtty sick bro :P

  • This is the only song that made me start liking The Flobots, now every song is really good

  • Lolz how this song is against things like Youtube and yet here it is.

  • You need to do research guys

    I lead a group of changers of society

    We are growing by the day

    And we are here to be heard

    Because there is a war going on for your mind

  • I am amazed that this video has been up since 2008 and there are only 4 dislikes.

  • We must start the revolution, don't just voice off on YouTube, bring the peace that we all want. @Everyone

  • @MMADisciple Exactly my friend. Racism, dislike of the rich and poor, hatred toward other religions, these are all tools at their disposal in order to have us kill and destroy as they please.

  • @whuaaaa no my friend the cake is a lie

  • @MMADisciple you are right man if only the whole world could live as one with no war over religion or politics

  • Fuck the media

  • @Jiaxis This song is media.

    HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • @Mrxb0x

    (usu. the media) [ treated as sing. or pl. ] the main means of mass communication (esp. television, radio, newspapers, and the Internet) regarded collectively: [ as modifier ] : the campaign won media attention.

    No it's not HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • @Fug118TheGreat Is this not the interenet? Does this video not have over 40,000 views ?

    Derp. 

  • @Mrxb0x

    No. It's not the internet. It is a song, like you so plainly stated.

  • @Fug118TheGreat Have you ever been to the website "youtube.com" where this song is hosted?

    God I hate retards so much.

  • @Mrxb0x When he says media he clearly is infering mainstream media. It's not that fucking hard to understand. Music can be considered a form of media yes but mainstream media is refering to where the majority of the people are "supposed" to get their information from (i.e. corperate controlled TV news, radio and newspapers). Rupert Murdoch has his greedy hands in the entire world's news sources. The freedom of press is a lie. There is red tape and censorship everywhere. He was saying fuck that.

  • @Jiaxis you say this on youtube

  • @eskimocheese i'm helpless, stuck in a system i complain about, but not intelligent enough to push to change it. I gotta know more before i act, if i ever do.

  • @Jiaxis

    Zeitgeist. Take some and leave some, but it's a good start.

    There are TONS of videos on YouTube.

    Little tip: Stay away from Alex Jones.

    Educate yourself, man! This is serious. I don't want my children to have to grow up in the same freakshow that we have to. We could always use another awakened mind :)

  • @DrunkenLeprechaunPro I hear what you're saying loud and clear! Thanks for the encouragement!

  • @DrunkenLeprechaunPro a little cloak and dagger isnt it? "Stay away from Alex Jones"... no explaination? Is he crazy? Dangerous? Misinformed? You just don't like him? What's up?

  • @thisusernamesinvalid

    I didn't leave an explanation because I didn't have the room to do so (500 char.)

    Alex Jones is strong with misinformation or passing pure, biased speculation as ultimate truth. He's a good speaker and is good with words and has more than too many "followers" who cling on to his every word. He has something to say, that's for sure... but you have to be careful not to get sucked into his misinformation and manipulation...

  • favorite part is 0.49 when the drums start.

  • wish this was longer. love it

  • we are the insurgents.

  • A Dancing with the Stars ad was on the side of the screen when I listened to this. Irony at it's best.

  • This is my favorite band.

  • the song makes you picture single word that comes out of his mouth all in your mind .. if it was a longer song you will want to help out the world

  • *there's

  • If the hole song was like the first part they could call the song there is war going on for your wank, and it still make sense

  • there is a freaking imba song playing in your mind.

  • what dose this song mean

  • @barry3181 They are trying to get people to make change. thats what i got out of it anyway

  • @barry3181 exactly what it says

  • @barry3181 if you search "the is a war going on for your mind Flobots meaning" in Google, the first link will have some info about it :) [ Youtube won't allow me to post the link ]

  • my school dancers danced to this at the dance concert. Excellent. everything was synchronized.... it was perfect and it was my fave dance in the enitire awesome show

  • @Skyelight0 ur gay

  • This song is fucked up and at the end they say "we are the insurgents" WTF??

  • @madfighter56 its political dude lol

  • praise God.. this is the message.

  • I wish they would make a longer version of this song

  • Douchebgs!!!!!!(below me not above......maybe)

  • listen to the actual lyrics they are making ur minds actually make sense ur mind rly is a giant war

  • @claybomb4 Moreover, I feel that the song is saying that the responsibility is upon each of us to pick truth from lies, right from wrong, and to finally step up to voice ourselves and what we feel. My opinion is as such: Support the troops... not the war.

  • i love the song but i hate the ending

  • @IxxGODxxI again you're letting a few bad apples spoil YOUR opinion of people. Just because some extremist will string you up in the middle east doesn't mean every member of that religion will. And saying religion has never helped anybody is just plain out fucking ignorant. And of course people dont need religion to be good people, way to miss the concept of it being a device to instill good morals in people.

  • @PalpatineHxC If you're looking to the Bible, or another religious book, for morals may I suggest =, Humpty Dumpty, The Three Little Pigs, Goldylocks and the Three bears. Religion doesn't instill good morals, it keeps people in line, from asking questions. Good morals are passed down from responsible parents or guardians.

  • @IxxGODxxI . Majority of Christians, Jews, and Muslims respect the idea of other religions out of respect. And most religions have come a long way from the idea of fearing their gods, nobody should fear religion. And how about doing good deeds for the sake of being a decent human being, religion instills good morals into society.The people you refer to are extremist. Don't let a few bad apples spoil your opinion of people.

  • just wow, this band was unknown to me until about 2 minutes ago, great job!!!!

    Truth on!!!

  • @MMADisciple thats true thumbs up

  • They're talking about the Illuminati and they are trying to take over yhur mind through music and whatnot.

  • @romanptm you sir...are an idiot :l

  • @romanptm Dude,you completely missed the meaning.

  • @romanptm I thought it was more about media and commercialism. But yea, same idea.

  • No-one is unique, as people adapt themselves form the personalities of others, So rather than be individual, were actually more alike the more we try; Religion is another kind of control.

    If you want to be an insurgent, Think.

  • i love the end of the song.

  • there s a war going on for your mind

  • @MMADisciple you sir are right. amazing I totally agree with you

  • oh THERE the insurgents 

  • @J1a2s3o4n500 "there"?

    Really?

  • it tells you all the trouble in the world today...so we can fight it

  • @MMADisciple i agree man alot of ppl in this world just care about greed and power its a shame

  • Eh, from an atheist's perspective, there is not point arguing over religion on a song like this, it's an amazing song by an amazing band. Listen to it.

  • love how they reference falling whistles

  • I wish there was a longer version of this, i love it

  • @MMADisciple Deep man

  • FOUND IT~!~

  • born in the flesh of bloody finger paint sets

  • sheeple...

  • At the end they say, "We are the insurgents" rebells against the government and politics

  • thanks alot for that :) i actually get it now!

    Goodbye Ignorance.

  • can someone please explain this song to me?? i just like the strings harmony in the background but the words seem important and i cba to look at like 200+ comments. it is some religion based thing? politics? propoganda? i'm young and ignorant to this stuff... :( explain someone!! ah!

  • professional wrestlers and vice presidents want you to believe them. professional wrestlers are known for being fake they just put a show on theyre telling you that the gov is the same.. they construct ransom letters from biblical passages and bleed mascara into holy water supplies,the gov blame religion and tell people that religion doesnt matter only beauty. Beauty theese days is more important than religion. the main thing is just open your eyes to the world around you, love comes 2nd to lust

  • oooh! wow some deep meanings behind all this stuff then :O

  • @pqzas

    yep, I'm glad to hear someone else believe like I do...So many people say that the government is all behind this and there is a big conspiracy and a "New World Order," but this is what leaders/aristocrats have been doing since the beginnings of civilization. By learning basic history, you can understand this. The Congress of Vienna in the 19th century is the same as 21st century NATO. Propaganda and lies have been spewed to all people in order to motivate them to fight...

  • The media trying to corrupt your mind with lies. It is the world, not just politics or just religion. It is everything.

  • @Assasinscreed360 I love this statement.

  • Only leftist represent the TRUE interest of the poor and greater populace. DO NOT LET ALEX JONES WIN.

  • @Fireinthedawn

    only leftist represent the failures in society. they can blame their problems on others all they like but there is a very simple reason why poor people are poor.

  • @phantomlord1988 are you kidding? what is the reason?

  • It's because they're failures.

  • failures at what?

  • the right wingers need to STOP hijacking the populist movement-when have the rich EVER stood for the poor?

  • don't let alex jones convince you that HE'S an egalatrian with your best intrest in mind. he's just a republican anti elitist. Small states will ruin us even if we "overthrow" the ruling class. Big governments are necessiary.

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song it is truthful and y yes it is true insurgentcy is alive and well ; )

  • CNN is a fucking lie

  • @whuaaaa Cool story, bro.

  • @whuaaaa its all a lie... except for break the matrix its new that isnt filled with ignorance and brainwashing faggot

  • @whuaaaa No, Fox is a fucking lie.

  • Comment removed

  • @whuaaaa

    Cnn is real I have seen it

  • @whuaaaa no... i'm pretty sure CNN exists

  • @TheWordsNotSpoken cnn is fake news, thats what they meant.

  • @Puertoricanlegacy opposed to what? Fox? ONN?

  • @TheWordsNotSpoken Fuck all mainstream news channels.

  • @Puertoricanlegacy So, what do you propose?

  • @TheWordsNotSpoken the news is manipulating your opinions. you dont notice it, but only at a subconscious level.

  • @Puertoricanlegacy Of course i notice! That's what news is for! I learn about what's going on and that changes my opinion about it!

  • Woah. SO much meaning behind this song.

  • Don't ask it just fun to do...

  • Maidens of the Forest of Laughing Children ask rreanimated corpses to speak to the Grenades of Holy Anarchy

  • i love the conversations these song start

  • I agree, plus the christian religion has the most historical proof of being true

  • i am catholic and would say no religion has more "proof" than another.

  • nobody has a real opinion you all just here things from different people and you believe what they say so you spread their word, your real opinion has already been said by other people, if anybody gets what i mean

    p.s. i just thought of this and it makes a lot of sense

    p.p.s. song needs to be longer

  • Of course other people have the same opinion as you.

    :3

    There are billions of people in this word.

    Your not going to be unique and different from all of us.

  • That's really true dude. only thing is how do you make your own opinion.

  • the idea of god is what keeps everyone in their place. you cant question what isnt really there (if you believe god is there, then no one should tell you otherwise). Your free to believe what you want, but the corporate america we live in today strives to control the world and its inhabitants...flobots understand this and that is what their song is hinting at. btw if you dont get it, insurgents in the USA is the UN. Stop watch propaganda and start being informed through research

  • In more simple terms, saying God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent is like saying, "God is so powerful he can even do the illogical."

  • i swear at 0:30 they are talking about WW2 when the british army dropped leaflets on france that had pictures of topless women and other funny stuff. :P

  • they have a point and we should listen

  • i wish the song was longer i think it would be really good if was longer

  • yh but thats y i think its a good song, cos it makes u want more... if u see wat i mean

  • yea but there is no more! aaugh! its drivin me crazy

  • its has an awesome beat at that, and what does this have to do with god? nowhere in that do i hear a thing about god, or that this song is even being about god. it's mainly talking about how this world is, and it's true

  • We are the insurgents. ♥

  • this song ended badly. it was good though and has a good meaning....i love the beat.

  • I agree.

  • our goverment hasnt been the same since 1865 now its shit our rights as Americans have been broken its not treason to think of a better America! ALways remember We the People should be the true runners of America but when we speak we are not heard, when we act we are put down, and when we even think we it is considered wrong. The goverment should fear there people, people should not fear there goverment....We the People

  • i appreciate what you're saying, and agree, but next time you post like this, try to sound / look smarter. it makes us "rebels" look smarter or perhaps even educated. example: government, not goverment hah. plus proper use of there, their, and they're. however, i like the quote. V for vendetta? also, we have far more rights than we did in 1865. haha

  • The statement ' explain God exists w/o the use of faith' is like saying explain to me we exist w/o proof... it simply can't be done... I know of no religion that is not based on faith... if there was hard scientific proof of a certain god then there would be less wars... faith is the basis of all opinions and whether or not we have the same faith is your choice... I know I would rather believe in God and find out there isn't one, than not believe in a god and find out there is one...

  • i heard this song, now i have chills, and i want to do something important

  • The scary thing is, it's all true.

  • Hello I am Iran, my democratically elected government is so cool

    Hey what is this who is this shah guy kicking my president out

    What the hell America and UK we were totally going to be buds and then you overthrew our government

    Fine fuck you we'll let Ayatollah lead us instead

    cockbags

  • "The U.S. Goverment Can Make Mistakes, They're Human".

    That Is Why They Must Not Be Given So Much Power.

  • I heard this one once or twice but It's the first time I actually listend to the lyrics.

  • man behind curtains=the rich elite...the shadow government the rockefellars who want the new world order but will never achieve it

  • I'm pretty sure the craters beneath the draped flags are something about the fact that american soldiers coffins are draped in american flags.

  • when they say:

    pay no attention to the men behind the barbed curtain

    nor the craters beneath the draped flags

    those hoods are there for your protection

    do they mean the moon landing was fake? thats the one part that gettin at me, cause im not sure if i get it

  • what? no

  • id take that part of the song as saying that patriotism and the threat of being deemed "ungrateful" for the sacrifices of our armed services are used against us to keep us from seeing that giant crater our policies are leaving on this earth.

  • For those of you who like this type of music, you should give 'Rehab - Graffiti the world' a listen. Sadly Rehab is a pretty slept on group, regardless, it is a very good song similar to this one in the way of the over all message.

  • Gave me the chills.

  • but it rlly moves you until i got chills when it buzzed out

  • It does. I can't decide whether to do my animation project on this, or on Stand Up. What one do you think?

  • honestly i think on this because i think you could easly get a A on this and lots of people who see it will know this songs cause

  • I would say this but have u heard

    "we are winning??

  • this song rlly moved me but i ggot a bit freaked out when it fuzzed out
