  • R.I.P.

    Taken too early

  • RIP Tim! you changed my life. can't believe you're gone.

  • We're setting the fires to light the way

    We're burning it all to begin again

    With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands

    We sing for change.

  • Our world has more than enough resources to sustain us it's just the stupidity in the way it is distributed.

  • @meandmyhorizon Our world has a cap of 5 billion. Anymore, and we start to deplete our resources. This is made even worse as you said by the greedy distribution of precious few resources.

  • @FatalityWar yeah right..u could fit the worlds population in the state of texas..without stacking people...

  • Currently nature world is falling and we can't help it. The most likely scenario is one seen in Alien , Dead Space or Star Wars. The entire planet will be city, nothing remains.

  • Man,i love the song,the messages,the lyrics and the band.

    FUCK the government!!!

  • theres only 608 thousand views on this one but 3 million on the other? more people should watch this one and pause on all the messages. starting with the beginning then 0:17, 0:20, 0:28, 0:35 and so on

  • Rise Against = Fuck the Government

  • I only eat meat on sundays fuck you god

  • @Bandrosonk

    Im a vegetarian, you can be too, its easy. You will be more healthly.

  • Like This? Search For NITRODIVE

  • Statistics are complete bullshit, most are just made up on the spot

  • @invasivecow haha not really its usally an educated estimate they dont just go oh look a cow died that means 42,000,000,000 mustve died today no they acctuly get stats and look at it Rise Agianst didnt do these stats its what theyve read from acctual people that study this stuff

  • @jeffsharpie Key word in that sentence "estimate" and it wouldn't be the first time that someone has "tweaked" the information to make a point

  • @invasivecow It doesn't matter though, the next few generations and/or us will be screwed if we don't do anything.

  • governments' a piece of sh*T all igotta say

  • I'm from Jordan.. that's a country right next to Iraq.. a small and poor country with enough resources to feed it's people, but ever since the war in Iraq, over 1million Iraqies have fled into Jordan. In 2003 the bag of chips cost 50piasters (Jordanians currency = JD) now it's 1 and a half ,9 years later.. I know it's just a bag of chips but this applies to everything from the bag of chips to the price of gas and every single life needed supply.. so in conclusions not only Iraq's getting screwed

  • We have to stop this nonsense or else this video will come true. People will start to get agressive. And if you think that its the only way then listen to bricks

    "we're teaching murder, not understanding now. We're setting the fires to light the way We're burning it all to begin again With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands we sing for change"

    w=We cant let this world go up in flames

  • @IRISHDRUNK1243 please ignore the w= lol i dont know how that was typed in

  • I remember a great concert that they should do more often, Rise Against, Rage Against the Machine, and Muse. Those three band should have been played at the Occupy every freakin day!!

  • i was playing this song the other day while my little brother was playing the xbox. and his friend asked me if i had any "real music" on my Ipod. Of course i said "this is real music" and then he tried to argue that this was just screamo and that wiz kalifa and jay z where both real musicians. needless to say we had a serious problem and he will never step foot in my house again.

  • @Damyo28 My friends said that my music was gay. I said "oh yeah like a song full of swears and screaming about bitches is better" and they said "yeah" why cant ppl listen to this kind of music? it doesnt have to be punk rock but somthing with meaning

  • @IRISHDRUNK1243 me and my friend literally have the same argument every day. i always win

  • to all those wjo think RISE AGAINST is just another careless, selfish punk rock band... TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO!!! these guys are so much more, and not just in their band.... all supporters of PETA, and a lot of other shit that im too pissed of to mention because all of this is true, we are destroying ourselves in war, and the government feeds it. hell, it wouldnt surprise me if the government didnt want the war to end.... RISE AGAINST, YOU ARE LEGENDS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE MY IDOL!!!

  • guess who has two thumbs and is gonna be blasting rise against to get pumped up for when i shoot the fucker government pricks in the melon? THIS GUYYYY!

  • well @pewpsicle the reason we cant spend our money for peace instead of war is: our government is set up so we vote for representatives to really say how we should and will spend our money so it looks like the people have the control of the say so in our country. the only problem with that is that most of these people living in this country are completely oblivious to issues that need taking care of, for the fact that they dont care or vote so we are being run by a bunch of money hungry dicks

  • Comment removed

  • Well... at least that's 10 million less people that the planet can't support (Earth can only support 1 billion people indefinitely, any more and we use up resources faster than they can be replenished in the best case scenario, its physically impossible for the earth to support more than 1 billion people) but killing 10 million people bought us what? 1 day to 6 months at tops before a massive population die off that kills at least 6.5 billion people because of global interdependency.

  • @Edin116 our World today is so interdependent that if lets say the American Midwest (also know as: "The World's Bread Basket") was to be wiped out, 66% of the worlds grain would be gone (sadly this is true), it wouldn't only America, but the whole world, food prices would triple, how many people can afford food at that expense in today's economy? ...Almost no one. now imagine if most of the people on earth are dead...

    most knowledge would be lost, our cities will be ruins...

  • @Edin116 a simple sprained ankle will be fatal because you wouldn't be able to acquire food and water... what we are doing today is wasting our precious, dwindling resources. How would you like your children... or even your children's children to live in this kind of world? ...You wouldn't. Worst Part of it is that half the people that die in the die-off will die from war, both civil, and over seas to get the last resources... the rest that die are from the resources being used up by the war(s).

  • @Edin116 Rise Against's Point is that if WE AS A GLOBAL COMMUNITY don't change, our future generations will live in in a world that we would consider hell... If you do enough research in all the related fields you would draw the same conclusions, most of the scientific community takes what i have posted as a FACT. Rise Against is trying to make people aware of this fact... that fact that if we don't change we are doomed in the long run.

  • @Edin116 Even a US president has realized that our current actions will cause this... "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

    This world in arms in not spending money alone.

    It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." -excerpt from the Cross of Iron speech by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

  • This is my pump up song! :D

  • i hope i die before 2048 ._.

  • ok well i know we spend a lot in irak but if we dont spend notin we will have more aliens coming into our country and killing inesont lives and i dont belive in global warming like if u aggree im not saying this song is not perfact im saying i dont aggree with 2 things

  • @Bioshockfreak14 all Im saying is our contribution is so small in comparison to natural global warming I doubt very much that we can really contribute.. just a drop of water in the ocean man.

  • Six days. Exactly the amount of time I got left before my country will sign the ACTA documents, meaning that one day I'll open youtube, or rather try, since youtube is a nest of piracy, copyrighted material and everything what is wrong. Sad, but it might be true. Next step - I won't be able to listen to RA because of political (and, oh god, subversive!) meaning of their songs. I don't want to live on this planet anymore. Good day to you, people of freedom!

  • This makes ne want to rebel

  • this should be the only versoin of this video

    i mean, think of the millions that are loosing the message?

  • These lyrics dude...

    They go deep...

  • i love how we all try to discover the real meaning of the video, all the facts, to set new york on fire, the many people who seem different like "normal" people... so many videos and we still don´t know what the real meaning of their songs is, that is something special what only rise against is able to make...

  • 2048 will be the worst year for me

  • Our freedom, econemy, and freedom of speech is at risk due to the Stop Online Piracy Act. The internet is at risk of billions of jobs and a system that makes more money than entertainment could be gone. A huge chunk of money gone. Sending us into a great depression. If you would like to learn more type in how SOPA will destroy america. Click on any video. Copy and paste this to any video you can find. Despite the haters. We are at risk. STOP SOPA!!!!

  • Uncensored on VEVO??? IMPOSSIBRU!

  • 34% believe in evolution, 94% believe in immaculate conception...apparently they cant do math

  • @JUMPER502 You can believe in evolution AND immaculate conception if you choose to. They're not opposites.

  • I'm curious as to why this version of the video is labeled "uncensored" because of the statistics and quotes.

  • rise against is one of my most favorite bands besides green day and theyve really changed my life im a vegaterian and im 12 years old i know you may not care about my oppinion or that it even matters but rise against is amazing i dont care who you are

  • @drummerfreak700 respect man, I'm sixteen and have eaten meat all my life but I am determined to become a vegetarian as soon as I move from my parents because of rise against's videos

  • Holy Shit i paused on every message. Just holy shit, HOLY SHIT our world isn't in a good position WHY can't we use our money not towards the fucking war but for making peace all round WHY cant we get up and RISE AGAINST all this bad stuff in the world

  • @Pewpsicle Well if you looked up information on google you'd know. A guy named Philip Schidner died trying to rise against our governments spending on the military, he allegedly committed suicide with a piano wire and nothing else was said. Truth is the government killed him. And Philip was a secret engineer contractor for our government building underground bases. He knew why we spend so much money on the military and had more evidence to support his speech. Youtbe him. listen to him

  • @Pewpsicle because this world is full of idiots .-.

  • well what the hell.... hippies blowing shit up.... cool?

  • Few will realize the beauty of this.

  • 50 people don´t understand the message of the song...

  • why the fuck do i have to live in a wold nearly destroyed by some idiots that lived before i was born

  • @dannekuungen1 You don't. You don't have to live in it. That's - I think, at least - the point

  • Comment removed

  • Those who watched the censored version don't understand the songs message..

  • @GreenGuyofSweden No, those who watched the censored version understands. Those who can't seem to understand(like me) watched the uncensored version to get it right.

  • Aren't hunger and starvation the same thing?

  • uncensored? when do they cuss?

  • @thecrazy1231000 no its the part where they tell you all the stuff that is censored cause apparently some people would find it... say offensive

  • @thecrazy1231000 Uncensored meaning.

  • @iamQuiliamQuil thanks now i get it i thought they cussed somewhere in this song

  • show this to Barack Obama, to make this country better.

  • didnt like fish that much anyway.....

  • get a fucking job and get health care. my dad works his ass off for it. postoffice is billions of dollers in debt. and that means thay can not run health care. ihope to god it does not pass. if this thing pass obama pass this i well die because i am a resk to the goverment.

  • @187angelofdeath Maybe if 56% of our budget wasn't for the military we could afford being good to the American people.

  • @Comsofficer The government is good to the American people. People are so god damn ignorant, its not perfect but how would you like living in Serbia or something where the government actively makes it worse for people who live there.

    People don't realize how lucky they are

  • @Altariav Yes its good to the american people that's why we constantly get screwed over for the rich to get what they want. And no you don't get to say "well X has it worse compared to us so we need to stop crying".

     So how does the US government help its citizens? By providing adequate funding for our education? They spend 6% of the budget on education. Infrastructure? third world countries have better infrastructure than us.

  • @Altariav How about emergency aid? Some towns have to split fire engine, ambulances, and emergency personnel between two or three towns covering a lot of ground. What about our freedoms being protected? Well look at the NDAA, SOPA, and of course PA. Does that look like a government that protects the freedoms and rights of its people?

  • @Altariav Just because we're better than another country doesn't mean we're right. Yeah, we're lucky to be born in America rather than Africa or something, but there are a lot of people in America who aren't. Changes wouldn't be bad for America at this point.

    Not wanting to change something that is wrong just because it has some good aspects is ignorant. Go live in a poverty stricken area and tell me you wouldn't want a change.

  • @Feeltheh8 Thats what i'm getting at in my comment, its bad out there. But in america i think everybbody has a chance and if you're poor its your own damn fault. People shouldnt rely on others so much, they should take initiative

  • @Altariav If you're poor it's your own damn fault??? Did you just say that?? Don't expect a reply from your next comment, it wouldn't be a debate anymore, it'd be me trying to teach you something you should have learned back in grade school, while you sit there and think you already know something about the world.

  • @AltariavI will have to agree with you. A good percentage of poor people here in America are just to damn lazy to work for the money they need to get the food and supplies they need to survive. We really need to reform the Welfare and food stamp programs because some people just abuse the programs which were started to help people who truly needed it.

  • All these educated wannabees with all those smart-ass comments are not clever,entertaining or ever make any sense at all. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • @Superandrewman13 only smart-assdudes around here are those who try to get thumbs^^ and why? no reason its not like ur godly if 4u have more thumbs xD just let ppl be dont beg for thumbs

  • I agree with what they are trying to say but they are using a lot of logical fallacies (ie emotional appeals & post hoc)

    but the song totally rocks!

  • that money being spent on the war IS helping my uncle stay alive in Afganistan

  • @wisconsinnitem4 that and creating weapons.

  • Its all we deserve. We've fucked everything up and its about time someone says no before people do things like this.

  • This is advocating terrorism...still going to listen to their music.

  • @TheArgusPlexus um, did you see the making of this video? The director said that this was not advocating terrorism.

  • @TheCmworld He can say whatever he wants, but this is obviously advocating domestic terrorism.

  • @TheArgusPlexus If someone is naive enough NOT to understand the meaning, then it could be. Although if you're a fan of Rise Against then you would know better since rise Against wouldn't endorse genocide.

  • @TheCmworld Insults are not necessary. Blowing up buildings in protest of a system is terrorism and that is what this is portraying. At the very least, this is saying that they support violent rioting, which is also wrong. Still love the song and the band, just don't get how setting New York on fire is going to help their particular political viewpoint to be heard.

  • @TheArgusPlexus I think the point was to do something crazy and loud just to be heard at all. Like "we are here, you have to notice us and listen to us, now that we set all of New York City on fire."

  • @TheArgusPlexus I disagree. It says that those who make peace impossible make VIOLENT revolution inevitable. It also states statistics on how screwed up our gov't. is, despite not needing to. The message is of what will happen in the future because of us today, as shown by the quotes about the future. Long story short, blowing up buildings in violent revolution is inevitable unless our gov't undergoes some major change.

  • @TheCmworld We must take every opportunity to have our voices heard in this country, and blowing up buildings is not a good way to make people agree with you. I'm not some forty year old politician, I'm a young kid. I'm not an eco nut Obama cock rider like most of my peers, which I have to assume these guys are. I guess that's where our views differ.

    Still like the song and the band, though.

  • @warpedfusion Did you read Kennedy's quote at the beginning and the very end? It looks like you didn't.

  • i still listen this in 2012

  • now seriously.. those who disliked this wideo are real retards

  • im scared for the worlds future

  • something we need everyday to survive, is enough to make me stand up and suppress this issue, and the fact money is spent on senseless transactions, while we have millions homeless, 130 die a day from illness. and how the people of the united states would rather cut funds to schooling then to cut funds to department of corrections and prison. where is the logic?

  • when you read through these comments, its completely ignoring the whole fact and meaning the members are trying to set out for everyone to understand, we are people, as people, we need to be solitary,come together, and stand up for what is right, arguing on youtube is getting us nowhere, that statistics to the video are true, and the more time you waist with a finger in the butt arguing, those statistics increase, idk about you, but just reading 6000 children die a day from water,(finish above)

  • 2:04 The lead singer has a blue left eye and a brown right eye!

  • @moustachejoker99 because he's a boss

  • 2:02 fucking awesome eyes lol

  • @shelloz09 One brown, one blue?!?!?!

  • @shelloz09 and those are his real eyes. Hes not wearing lens

  • @Paperkut96 I know it's called heterochromia

  • 90% of statistics are made up on the spot:)

  • CENSORE MY ASS YOU UGLY VEVO MOTHERFUCKERS!

  • 00:34 more die in romania ...

  • I love Rise Against and other political bands. I love how in music videos they show issues that face the United States and other countries, and this bill that they are looking at that will get rid of stuff that targets the government is pure communism. Freedom of speech is constantly being threatend by the liberal mechine. If you disagree, agree or you want to discuss politics. Feel free to message me. I will be happy to talk ;) Enjoy the music everyone.

  • @97GSXsilver i think you don't get the meaning of this song and the (extremly big) difference between liberalism and communism

  • if the bill stoping bands like this passes, im fucking running away to canada, because this band has helped me through sum tough stuff

  • Why are you reading this comment? There is a perfectly good Rise Against video right there. Start watching it already.

  • INTERNET CENSORSHIP BILL TARGETS YOUTUBE.

    IF THIS BILL PASSES, CONGRESS WILL REVIEW VEVO'S ACCOUNTS, AND WILL REMOVE ANY GROUPS/ARTISTS THAT TARGET THE GOVERNMENT, LIKE RISE AGAINST. DEFEAT THIS BILL AND WE CAN CARRY THEIR MESSAGE. IT'S TIME TO OPEN UP AMERICA'S EYES.

  • @ThatAwezomeGirl They CANT do that we have freedom of speech and we can say whatever we want about OUR government if this passes they break what this country was founded on. How do they not know this they have to know the laws to get a government position and that is one of the biggest amendments that we have!

  • @YesWhatBoutIt Why do you think they care if they break the law?

  • this makes me wanna punch the us in the face

  • I had a dream that i met him then i woke and was like "FUCK!!!!!!"

  • The military is the ones protecting our asses.

  • @nightmare98066 no, the military is a bunch of dudes taking orders from old men, sitting in a chair, doing no type of physical work, and deciding the fate of this country, honestly what do we need protection from? the wars we have been in we had no business being there, or like the bombing of pearl harbor was provoked by t. Roosevelt. more of less fucking japan over, he knew the bombers were coming they were spotted by navy, but he gave the order to let them pass. just like 9/11

  • it was the doings of George bush, what you dont understand is that when we are in war, we generate money, but the fun fact to that is, the printing companies that make our money, is privately owned, it is not owned by the government, so for every dollar we generate, we are indebt to it close to 8% per dollar. and thats to reply to mousey165ify, and to mention, it was brought up that they want to conjoin america, mex. and canada, which will abolish the const. highly doubt it, but expect it

  • @amorvincitomni1 My daddys over in Afganshan right now with a bunch of other young men,women and older soldiers. Being in consent DANGER TO PROTECT US!!!! Roosevelt had nothing to do with Pearl Harbor. And as for 9/11-do u know how many peple lost their lives that day? Think about the families and friends left behind. All those kids with out parents today.

  • @nightmare98066 I don't think that they are kids anymore.

  • Irony would be that, if those explosions would really have taken place, they would've produced a massive amount of CO2 and other damaging gasses....

    Also it's an awesome song, awesome vid and an awesome band.

  • wat were all the backpacks for???

  • @TheTeddybear300 they hid the exposives in them

  • @TheTeddybear300 did you not see the city in flames at the end of the video?

  • I didn't truly realize what this song is REALLY about and how the quote in the beginning relates to it until I really thought about it and then it just....hit me. I was like "WHOA! 0.0" it's like saying....the more you fight the peaceful solution, the less it becomes an option, and the violent solution just becomes more prevalent. Basically, the more you tie us down, the harder we'll fight back....damn Rise Against is amazing. XD

  • did anyone els notice the title says "Uncensored" and yet this song has no "profanities"...........this is probably the biggest middle finger to the government

  • Rise Against is a band that really knows what's going on in this world.

  • There is no possible way to play this song quietly. Either I blast the fuck out of it, or I don't listen to it at all. By nature, it's loud and energetic. Does a low volume show this? Oh HELL no. XD

  • meanwhile, in Canada...

  • @TheFatKidNamedJoe meh canada ain't doing amazing neither lol.

  • We live in a scary world, but I truly believe it is going to get better!!! There are a lot of people who think like this band, I know I listen to their songs for the messages, and as a call to action. I will remain silent and compliant no longer! Look around revolution is everywhere and a real, lasting, positive change is coming! I hope it never gets to where this video went, but the US government should take this as a warning, keep putting bills like NDAA out and the video may become reality

  • if this is the world that i will live in in a couple of years........may lord help us

  • if i could bring back one president it'd be JFK. may he rest in peace.

  • I hate it how this is "censored" and people can't see the real facts on the "uncensored" vid

  • Comment removed

  • @Dav32011 VEVO cant handle the truth !!

  • @Dav32011 Do you realize what you just said makes zero sense at all.

  • @Finchpcrepair Oh yeah:P

  • @Dav32011 other way around :P

  • can sombody plz tell me what was the cause of to write all of this nagative facts in the video.

    man i just wanted to listen to the music

  • 1.8 billion in iraq, no more. :)

  • This song is like a lesson. ?

  • @Sonderhvid1996 yes i think

  • This guys in videoclip should ride on bicycle....

  • Oh and does anyone else find it weird that this version is considered uncensored? O_o So because they flashed words of actual issues across the screen they needed to make a version thats "censored" without them. I just find that weird. They're just words...

  • @spicyxxmarmalade words can do a lot my friend...

  • @l337n00b1 Words are far more dangerous than any weapon, for a word can create an idea... and an idea can unite or shred a world in an instant.

  • And if youthink that peace is the answer your wrong and you should go back to britain be cause fighting is what made us free, keeps us free,and will keep us free because freedom will never be free. Also terrorist are in our government they lead us if you don't think so then just look at some of the campaining comercials "we won't have enough cops" what are they doin they are changing opinions with fear. I'm pretty sure that's the objective of a TERRORIST

  • All of your veiws (except against it) are so warped ist rediculus to believe this crap and I am extemely disapointed in rise against for being so libralistic and over all just ignorant to the world around them they are blind to thefact that the reason america is soscrewed up is because of the librals and people like al gore who builds a so called "green" house that puts out more polution than a small city and a jumbo jet that injetcs fumes strait into the atmosphere

  • i used to really enjoy rise against, however they are now conforming to everything and everyone. Rise against doesn't stand for anything i believe anymore, they sold out to every single irrational idea out there and try to act like anyone who believes differently or in any sort of religion is a moron. Not so. I hate when bands, groups, people etc do this shit. how much pollution have they used touring for money? How much do they make each year and how much goes to clean water for children?

  • @jonbradyiii I see your point, but I don't see how you can say theyre irrational ideas. Almost every single issue that flashed across the screen is in fact an actual real concern. We are destroying our world, thats a fact. Its inevitable because of the exponentially growing population. Scientists are always trying to come up with ways to save resources, and such, but with all positive things, negative things usually come with it. I don't see how they sold out, but thats just me.

  • 94% believe in immaculate conception...now is that for every body or does that only count jesus?

  • 9/11 killed 3000 ppl

    We killed millions innocent in Iraq

    Also did we really have 2 nuke Japan twice or even once

    Just sayin

  • @Dev2144 We didn't kill millions of iraq's people. So far between us and the terrorists, 100,000 to 113,00 haves died. The terrorist have killed more of their people than we have.

    We had to drop the bomb on them once. Without that bomb, millions would have died. Both civilians and soldiers on both sides. The second one may have not been necessary but in the long run, it stopped a bloody invasion of Japan. Which would have cost even more lives, then the bombs took.

  • @SirTilley The most common use of 'hunger' is very similar to starvation. Wikipedia: "Hunger is the most commonly used term to describe the social condition of people who frequently experience the physical sensation of desiring food."

    However, 'hunger' may also be used to describe a motivational state, like "I'm feeling hungry now". Wikipedia: "Hunger is a sensation experienced when one is required to eat food. In contrast Satiety is the absence of hunger; it is the sensation of feeling full."

  • There's a fine line between terrorism and freedom fighting. It all depends on politics in your definition.

  • arent hunger and starvation the same thing? sorry that was bugging me for the whole video

  • @SirTilley They meant Hunger + Poverty (Inability to cure hunger) = Death by starvation

  • well this isent depressing at all

  • 3:51 now I think I know why al qaida was pissed at america... because its so fucked up.... but even then they didnt have to kill thousands of people in the process

  • @Naruto5tails no. The whole video is about how people will start to do these things and we have to stop the currupt world before they do. Rise against wouldnt inply that kind of thing........destruction

  • I don't beleive in immaculate conception, although i am christian.I mean that,s just silly.

  • @smileysoul000 people don't become terrorists for no reason. people become terrorists to be heard. It's our foreign policy that they hate. They hate the American people for allowing it and they hate our allies for assisting us. If we withdraw, terrorists numbers would fall. You have radicals sure, but many arr regular arab people trying to save their people.

  • @cucak96 heterochromia iridum

  • One thing I noticed is I talk to my dad or my grandparents and tell them this shits going they deny it, then say so what won't be my problem. Thanks pass it to me and the next few trillions of flesh. He goes on about the debt and how the G.O.P/Ron Paul is the solution but there problem is they can't move forward, the G.O.P at least knows their corrupt but the Democrats deny their hands.

  • Can't these bastards (a.k.a America's goverment) use some of the money they use for the military to, oh, I don't know, actually do something USEFUL and help this already srewed up nation?

  • :(
