Buried Alive - Dropkick Murphys

[Notofthisworld13]

Seen on the news about four miners trapped in Swansea, and made me think of this song. Hope they get the lads out.

[theknucklehead92]

I work at best buy but my real "Job" is my band. now I love hearing stories like this.

[oregonflatland]

true working class music right here. watch the show 'sandhogs' or 'axmen' and you'll know what being working class is all about all you poser suburban faggots.

[Cambreath]

I have a lot of respect for guys who pave streets and build cars. I make maps, I live in the 'burbs, I enjoy this music. Does that make me a 'poser suburban faggot?'

Just curious...

[oregonflatland]

it does if you try to claim you're working class. i knew this cocksucker in school who's parents were total yuppies. they had money and education, bought a new car every year. when he graduated he went straight into the gutter just so he could say he's a worker. he is a total poser. if you have a chance to succeed, do it. there are so many kids out there who wish their parents wanted them to be anything, and this faggot took it all for granted.

[memonas]

But still everyone is individual. Who says a fine education and good pay is succees? Everything comes down to the friends and people around you, and your interests. Maybe he was more happy with the not so fortunate?

Anyway, so fucking awesome song!

[Greggah]

@oregonflatland

Well said.

That said I think theres a lot to inspire you from some peoples managing trough hardships. no matter your class

[oregonflatland]

@Greggah

agreed. but not if the hardship isn't real. like paris hilton cleaning up graffiti in high heels, only to go back to her mansion and party all week long. there's nothing inspiring about that. and i wouldn't say someone who throws all their opportunities away is inspiring either. they are cowards who chose the easy way out rather than face the challenge of actually making something of themselves.

[alexmonro83]

@oregonflatland Umm perhaps he just enjoyed that type of work.

[The420shredhead]

@Cambreath Dude, i was a political science major when i did acid every weekend. Labels don't mean much, thats just a social identity a person is comfortable with it actually speaks little about them personally. CEOs do more blow then you, and visit more prostitutes. Labels mean shit. There are some gangsters who don't pack heat or have back. There are some punks who cant fight worth shit! Your no fag, your cool. Cheers mate!

[believeinworldpeace]

@Cambreath a what what what???....

[rmflack]

is this song related to a particular event? i feel like it is, but can't remember what. love these guys...

[doombringer117]

Not a specific event, but just the events in general, yeah

[thebluemaggot]

Actually it's a direct tribute to The Quecreek Mine accident in 2002 were 9 miners were trapped inside a flooding mine and eventually all 9 were rescued. they were underground for over 78 hours

[imscarfacecokdup23]

@doombringer117 Quecreek Nine mining accident

[ToledoStoryteller]

@doombringer117 Actually about the Quecreek mine Rescue in 2002

[oregonflatland]

in 2006, a mine collapsed in west virginia. only one survived. but i think this song came out before then. fucking excellent song. one of their best.

[wfw2k10]

i remember that. im from wv actually. pretty sad event. coal miners are tough son of a bitches

[oregonflatland]

yeah i saw that on the news. this song honors the hardest working men on earth.

i used to drive a forklift in a giant freezer -15 degrees. those were some tough sons of bitches working there too. not one guy there who didn't chew tobacco. true working men there. not these poser punk rock sissies who work at the health food store. look at me i'm working class.

[wfw2k10]

hell yeah man i respect that

[egoleech]

that's opne fuckin unplesent job u got there :S I'm freakin mailman...summer heat or winter cold I have to be out there and still be nice to fucking dumbasses who get on my freakin nerves.

But Giant Freezer every day :S geez

[thebluemaggot]

The 2002 Quecreek Mine accident, look it p it's very interesting they even made a TV movie out of it.

[Rockintreacy009]

@rmflack the quecreek mine collapse when 9 miners were stuck underground for about 3 or 4 days.

[FrumiousDonkeypunch]

@rmflack Actually, it's about the Quecreek mine disaster in Pennsylvania.

[Redcapzter]

Such a good fucking song. Let's go Murphys!
