Rise Against - Survivor Guilt

[NoPunkNoRock]

change never came from politicians, it always came from the people!

[4thEchelon]

an artificial enemy......are they talking about call of duty?

[Stombonno]

The audio in this sounds different than the one on my CD. Tim is at a much higher pitch in all the one's I've heard. Still a wonderful song...just...sounds like he's trying to sound more manly for some reason??? idk.

[MrAgurken1997]

@Stombonno It's because this version is higher pitched, to avoid removement because of copyright. :)

[Ethanboy9]

Probably the best song. Great message, Amazing guitar.

[KOL0901]

Bloody awesome

Probably my fave RA song

[octoron87]

Also its not just America thats messed up, its the world.

[octoron87]

I'm dissappointed they didn't say that the soviet union was destroyed, but then again it still may not be

[Ethanboy9]

@octoron87 I was thinking when they said persia, they meant russia, meaning soviet russia. But I was incorrect.

[Onyx0Mango]

The intro and the end is just so epic..

[Virdzsli]

'There's no peace without pain.'

[Onyx0Mango]

America IS fucked up BECAUSE of the politicians..

[XxxRisingAgainstxxX]

@Onyx0Mango Not just politicians, but the way our government has been operating for years... There's a reason most of the world hates us :P but it's certainly not the citizens' fault.

[Onyx0Mango]

@XxxRisingAgainstxxX Yeah, the Government is pretty screwed up, too.. W/e, we're all gonna die eventually, then none of it will matter anymore.

[XxxRisingAgainstxxX]

@Onyx0Mango Fair point :) in the mean time, carpe diem everybody

[Onyx0Mango]

@XxxRisingAgainstxxX Carpe diem bro..

[xXShikiyoxNaraXx]

So many opinions... Some of them are too broad and general for my liking.

[ninj3e]

looking through the comments i realized so many people with different views on everything all listening to the same artist once again showing the talent of rise against

[xXHammmerrrXx]

this bass line is amazing

[intermilan43]

This Song nails epicness

[MarkM2288]

@STR8SADiiSTiiC While I'm at it, politicians aren't even the main problem. They are merely middle-men for the real Owners of the country: the Big Business owners. They both promote themselves for their own interests: Profit and Power. They simply realized that they could get both easier if they worked together at it, at the expense of everyone else. America as an idea wasn't fucked up, but that idea is a shadow of what it was meant to be.

[raveolution6]

@MarkM2288 how can big business be the owners of the country when the government is taxing them to the point where they make less then 50% of their paycheck. the lower classes throughout history have blamed the upper classes for their problems even though the upper class is rich because they worked their asses off to get there. lower classes think that they should share wealth that they didnt work for even though the upper classs provides the jobs for almost everyone

[MarkM2288]

@uji7000 I respect the soldiers that I know, and believe me I know and am close to quite a few, but what you are saying contradicts itself. Only when people stop volunteering to fight each other--fellow humans--for made up false causes, then and only then will war stop. "Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity." ~George Carlin

[mixtapeking420]

america is a country of politics.

[uji7000]

No one knows the meaning of peace or wants it more than a soldier, but unfortunately without these brave men there can never be peace. If it was possible to end all war you would not find any happier people then the soldiers that know the realities of war.

[Hachigenushoda1]

America is fucked up contrary to popular belief. It has been warped by a false sense of importance in world affairs as a mask to warmongering and its overly opinionated society doesn't mean that it is more open, it just makes it more hospitable and it makes the citizens think they are above the rest of the world. the day america falls might be a bad thing in the short term but long term it would serve as a good thing. the difference between america and china is that america is more sutile.

[VikingUlfhednar]

@Hachigenushoda1 america is nothing like china were a democracy and america very important to world democracy and freedome we are the largest and most powerfull democracy in the world and we support and help our allies which does involve alot of conflicts and it is not warmongering if you look at every conflict korea, vietnam, and sevrale others were supporting other democracys and if america is so fucked up why dont you just leave and find a better place to live

[CRAZYmcDIV]

What is the name of the skit thing at the start nd middle of the song! It has such an impact in my head about freedom! :)

[Nanashi540]

The truth of this song is very simple, we believe that we can last forever, when as history has shown all great empire fall because of one thing. Greed and Pride. I am proud to be an American, but I am ashamed of what America has become.

[BilllyMayes23]

I like the phrase "It's better to live on your feet than die on your knees"

[Cromell]

@BilllyMayes23 shouldn't it be "It's better to die on your feet than die on your knees"? :P

[xXxNecroDancerxXx]

@Cromell No, because it is better to live freely instead of begging for mercy that you are never going to get, well, they way I took it was, it is better to live on your feet and take control of your life rather to die to an others bidding and basically be a slave and not live life like you should.

[Clairelover23]

Survivor guilt, help is on the way and drones are the only songs that can chear me up anymore.

[some1call999ImDying]

@Clairelover23 in my oppinion you just named the three best songs by rise against although i might add good left undone and satalite to that list aswell :D

[mrglitchmasterbraden]

Best song on the whole album

[STR8SADiiSTiiC]

America isnt fucked up. Politicians are.

[carrie0770]

@STR8SADiiSTiiC but we elect our officails and its all of our fault. we cant just blame the politicains we put into office.

[V3RS4TYLEas3V3R]

@carrie0770 i somewhat agree with what you say but at the same time many people elect politicians only because they like one or two of said politician's ideas. that or they dont truly like anybody running vote for one as a lesser of two evils

[rEpenny765]

@STR8SADiiSTiiC Yup

[rEpenny765]

@STR8SADiiSTiiC They have the power to destroy this country. We need a new generation. The ones in power is the one that made with phychos

[Sephiroth795]

@STR8SADiiSTiiC Politicians are elected by the people. If America is to have hope we must not push our problems onto the politicians. The cancer that afflicts America is not the politician it is the common man's apathy. The corporations are simply a side effect of America's inability to get up, think, then make an educated and smart choice about its own future. Were there politicians in power to limit corporations there would be no problem.

[spyro2060]

@STR8SADiiSTiiC Alabama! That's all I'm gonna say!

[IdesOfAutumn2]

Does anyone know where the audio clip at the beginning came from?

[Potinija59]

@IdesOfAutumn2 It's supposed to be the Catch 22 movie, although I haven't watched it yet myself.

[steezytrewilliams]

Rise against... i love this band.

[R1s3Aga1n8t]

[spoonbendern]
