It is. However, it means nothing unless you do something with it. Besides, if I was lying about my IQ wouldn't I pick a higher number? It still means nothing because Marie Von Savant has an IQ of 262... mine pales in comparison!
To 1 Big Troll: probably true but as I like to make sure of the correct lyrics I just wanted to check. And I will not shut up because of trolls - deal with it.
just REALLY listened to this song today for the first time...been HEARING it for 20 years i guess....HOLY COW! GRRRREATTT! The lyrics that really hit me today were "tell me why u wanna lay there, revel in ur abandon." and "everybody's had to fight to be free."
this song just makes me happier every time i listen to it. i have been working with updating some shitty ereader that doesnt have an auto-update feature (basically an unfinished piece of shit product) and this song is making it easy
To be honest, im only 19 i have heard some of the songs he had sang, but didnt know it was Tom. I recently watched a documentary on tom petty on bbc, i must admit, although its not my normal type of music, i actually love his songs.
2000.... LOL.... I remember this song when it was on the AM radio when I was a kid like 1976 or so. You make it sound like 2000 was a lifetime ago or something. Then again, maybe for you it was.
@TapYou2Hard hi man,did you ever heard the song (rock is my life this is my song)
from b.t.o.? i was reading your comment and i noticed that all the words you're saying,drives you right there!haha go take a look at bachman turner overdrive!
Remember how huge this song was that summer and fall. It was everywhere - blasting out of the speakers of carnival rides at state fairs and wafting from open windows in student ghetto neighborhoods. Petty seemed to be the sole defender of the "classic rock" genre during the onslaught of British punk.
Dont get me wrong about punk though. Enjoyed Iggy, MC5 and The Frost at the Grande Ballroom in the day, 5 bucks for the triple bill. AAAH ... youth - wasted on me (or the other way around)

good job. love the pics. he kinda sounds like aerosmith when he says 'oh yeah living like a refugee" but i like the song and i like aerosmith. great song.
LOL. Yeah I actually always thought he had kind a whiny voice. when I first heard this song I found myself singing along to it and I thought, "why do I like this song?" lol but I really do like it.
@CatieCass Petty DEFINATELY is NOT "whiny" ! It`s The New Mexico Accent that makes him sound it at times ! But , I`ve seen videos of him singin` and playin` EMOTIONALLY CHARGED Songs with A Smile on his Face !
@1993MovieMan Lol okay, okay calm down. In my opinion, sometimes his voice sounds a bit like that. So what? Just because he's not on my favorites list doesn't mean I don't like him. He's okay, I guess. And I honestly like this song. I don't know, I guess it's just a guilty pleasure of mine. =)
@1993MovieMan Maybe not whiney...but nasal-ly..lol. Don't get me wrong I love Tom Petty, but he does have a whine...and don't think you can blame the accent. Just sings through his nose a bit. Sorry, but it's true...:P
@MarTay555 I know that . I was confused `cause I thought my mom ( who`s a Tom Petty fan ) told me he was from New Mexico . Apparently , I remembered wrong .
