[LoveOurOwnSong]

[RacoonMan33]

Sooooooooooooooooooo many mistakes with the lyrics

[thewriter57]

[lakeshow720]

fucking unreal.  i've run out of superlatives.

[GamerPro9005]

Dude it's "Are you out there on the frontlines or at home keeping score"

[epiccustoms1]

the 20 people who dislike this probably dont have brains or hearts so fuck you

[wiecek13]

at least rise against still sands for all the things they stood for before unlike certain presidents

[GoBroncosTimTebow]

I love rise against. I heard this in madden 12 and was like OMG RISE AGAINST!

[PrinceLylat]

Can anyone tell me what this song means or if it doesnt mean anything than nevermind

[TheUndeadsoldier96]

Tim during the first play of Help Is On The Way on the radio. He said it's about people like Martin Luther King who designed the world we live in today, and that this generation doesn't seem to be producing these "architects" and takes what these people have done for-granted.

[Arekesu87]

I first learned of Rise Against by Playing Prayer of the Refugee on Guitar Hero 3, I then looked them up on youtube, and I now own all off there album. They are now my favorite band of all time, I've listened to them nearly every day for years, and I own all of there albums.

[basskid969]

[Kenziesaurus44]

Freaking amazing song <3 Always have lovedd Rise Against. I might go to their Concert ;D But anyways I am almost 14 and I like love their music ;)

[BeyKingColes13]

@Kenziesaurus44 im 14 and black and i love rise against over most rap anyday.

[FluffyThePedophile]

My plan: Listen to Rise Against for motivation while cleaning my room.

The result: Sitting at my computer in a trance, eating jellybeans and singing along to every song that comes on because I know them all by heart.

Close enough.

[TheTroller56]

(Something) brought me here! (emotocon)

[GPNewhouse]

MX vs ATV Alive brought me here lol

[d3715]

madden brought me here :)

[d3715]

madden brought me here :O

[RapAndRock1]

I knew this song long before Madden ever came out, but does that mean I'm a bigger RA fan than ones who found them through Madden? Not really. The point is, that one way or another, we have all found our way to this song. Rise Against allowed Madden to use this song to promote their song, and ultimately their band.

[St3AlThsniping]

thumbs up if you, like me, are a 12-15 year old who likes Rise Against and not any other crap out there now

[Uk12Us]

@St3AlThsniping

What no love for:

AC/DC,Hollywood Undead,KISS,Metalica, or Mumford and sons?

[St3AlThsniping]

@Uk12Us love for other rock/alternative groups, no love for almost any other type of music

[GuitarManiac1998]

Thumbs up if you heard this because you're awesome >:D

[Ferrari7872]

good song

[5724jake]

i dont even have madden haha

[ContinentalPatriot]

WOOOOOT!!!!!!

[Kenziesaurus44]

Love this freaking song :) Got the Album :) (Endgame)

[ninadawg99]

like if you heard this off of mx.vsatv alive >:)

[Mattziewinther]

i used to like rise against now i love them because i took an arrow to the knee

[94sasuhina]

This song reminds me of my Dad. He used to be a punk, full of energi and life. Now he is following the lead of the people he once stood so proudly against. I don't want to be the same as him. I will stand up for all my life and be proud of who I am. Thanks Rise Against.

[flatoutguitarist617]

i heard the song before i played madden, but madden reminded me of it, is that okay?

[chooseyourfate21]

Thumbs up if you liked them before you heard them on madden

[SuperBlackDawn]

@chooseyourfate21 pfft who plays madden when you could go out side and play football for real xD?

[groobert6456]

@chooseyourfate21 Thumbs if you're a hipster.

[endlessmountain]

@chooseyourfate21 thumbs down. But it was +61 when I voted for I am on this video now because I consider it to be the best song on madden and I am not new school music and therefore did not know a single song on that album when I bought the game last year.

[4x4manify]

@chooseyourfate21 they were on madden?

[iAmWeary14]

this isn't the only song by rise against that was on madden. Drones was also on a madden game. cant remember which one though

[homisidaltoast]

showed this to my dad, who was involved in the antiwar movement in the sixies. he got a little teary-eyed because he remembers a time when he felt like that, and he can't go back because it would risk the family. make an impact while your young

[MissSnowWhiteQueen86]

What the hell is madden?

[BloodMusicTrinity]

@MissSnowWhiteQueen86 i think he meant iron maiden

[jsr2by4]

@MissSnowWhiteQueen86 NFL video game 

[n3wYoRkSKING]

@MissSnowWhiteQueen86 its a game produced by EA sports where u can as the NFL its just a sports game lol

[GBusy69]

The album "Endgame" brought me here

[XeRoniK2]

I dont see whats wrong with discovering a band through a game, you got to discover a band some how

[TheNightmare1216]

i wish there was more bands like rise against

[SuperPacman1993]

@TheNightmare1216 a in song meanings and themes or just bands that sound similar?

[TheNightmare1216]

@SuperPacman1993 songs with meaning,sorry for not making my words more clear...

[SuperPacman1993]

@TheNightmare1216 tis grand sure. amm you could give a listen to "the nightwatchman" he has some similar themes

[TheNightmare1216]

@SuperPacman1993 thank you, i'm listening to one of his songs "until the end"

[SolidSnakeTHPS]

Its a great song, it fits with the fate/stay night anime

[TheRandomSack]

Does it matter who brought you here? Madden? Internet? So what, we all found the song thats what matters.

[thepunkdish]

Madden, radio, internet.. We all found this amazing band.. And that amazing band is fucking awesome!

[ReyesX77]

I just finished watching a marathon of old disney songs, i think one rise against is a good way to end this day X)

[aa14giants]

The YouTube search bar and use of my keyboard brought me here. :P

[hippoes14]

@aa14giants But it was madden that made you type in the song though :P

[TiinaaXxXx]

our heros OUR icons that mellow with age...

[AcAnimate]

hmm... What the Fuck is Madden?

**Waiting for alot of replies calling me stupid**

[AcAnimate]

@AcAnimate But.. seriously.. what is it?

[TheThanasis13]

@AcAnimate American Football I think

[funnyxsniperx]

i knew about them way before madden 12....madden 07 is where its at

[MentalMiniman]

About to go and see rise against in 2 hours time :D

[TehEpikChikin]

@MentalMiniman How was the concert? I couldn't go D:

[oaslayer]

mx vs atv alive??? anyone?

[TMChero]

@oaslayer yeaahahaha

[bassonfire79]

cool you love rise against lol but dont get all mad at people finally hearing this song because of madden just be happy people herd it . its a great song with a even greater message . i love rise against and i love madden 12 so MEH

[deat3456w]

wow who gives a shit about how we came here we are all fans of rise against.

[ffsigotnoname]

What the fuck is madden?

What the fuck is WWE?

THIS IS RISE AGAINST!

[Hawcules]

@ffsigotnoname

Oh really? I thought it was Barry White, my mistake.. coughcough.

[frenzyfreak210]

@ffsigotnoname i think its an american thing ( dont kill me americans!!! i love americans!!!) unless ur american too...... then im not sure what it is or where it came from...

[BurtonNightmare07]

I'm hear because of my undying love for Rise Against, not some stupid "Madden 12" game...

[Pwn3r2500]

I came here because someone told me it was a response to an Against Me song, lol.

[Hawcules]

Why aren't people happy for the exposure that things such as Madden give Rise Against? I mean it's not the first time, i was like "FUCK YEAH it's rise against!" when i heard Survive being used in one of those"WWE" games.

[pashionlove7]

I love this songg every time i listen to it i get happy an hype i love the message:)))

[deadpool1417]

I disagree with gaming not being allowed to broaden music horizons. I was introduced to Rise against by guitar hero, and I now own four cd's and listen to RA daily. If madden brought him here, let him be a fan. WHo cares where he heard about RA.

[thekaboominator1]

Dude, theboxmeal, you have weird dreams.

[LIlDJ582]

Came here cuz of madden 12. LOVE the game. PS3 my online name is Lil_DJ582.

[XXSophieXPieXX]

@LIlDJ582 you don't deserve to be classed as a fan, you only came here because of a game. go play the game then

[TheBoxMeal]

i actually dreamed of burning the world to an end......

[frenzyfreak210]

@TheBoxMeal what a nice thing to dream about......... well not really......... why????

[Diablo2410]

This song is even better when you actually are an architect.

[allowkid]

A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a slut, no one knows she was raped at 13. People call another Guy fat. No one knows he has a serious disease causing him to be overweight . People call an old man ugly. No one knew he had a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war.People call a women bald but they don't know she has cancer Re-post this if you are against bullying and stereotyping. I bet 95% of you won't do it..i did..

[Underyourstaircase]

@allowkid A powerful paragraph.

[TheBobTheJoeBob]

@allowkid Yup, posting comments about this stuff is REALLY gonna change a lot.

[artanay]

creat song, awesome lyics, but DAMN buy the cd with the booklet, these lyrics are totally wrong -.-

[DuncTheHoop]

The rise against fans are so uptight about the "Madden brough me here" comments. BUt think about it Madden 12 just made these guys 10x more famous like calm

[BreffmintsMDV2010]

Fuck Madden...even though I play it all the time Rise Against FTW

[magicjj7]

@BreffmintsMDV2010 I got madden because of this song. This and bridge burning.

[KristovGaedkavich]

I don't really care for Rise Against's ideals... but damn I love the music.

[Tsikigurl]

The most inspirational song they have ever written!!!

[ShMaRk009]

rise against brought me here :)



[basskid969]

fuck madden i like this song because of rise against not some noob that plays madden

[theobesekid]

@basskid969 so? Everybody is brought to any band by something specific, why does it bother people that some people learned to appreciate it from a video game? I heard this song first on Madden and am now hooked on Rise Against, why does the source of my interest matter? The thing that bothers me are self-righteous hipsters who have to profess on videos that they "knew this song before some stupid game!!1!" Who gives a crap? Enjoy the music and leave the ego at the door. Rise Against rules!

[stoneman5275]

@theobesekid I agree 100% and honestly all it does is helps Rise Against's fan base with that song being in the game.

[basskid969]

@theobesekid i was brought by something specific as well rise against

[Sukuli100]

@theobesekid i agree im a HUGE RA fan and my source was that an AMV played survive and i thought it sounded amazing and now i love all of there songs and will love all there future songs, who df should care about how this happened, point is it happened and now each one of there songs has great meaning to me not just the song that got me into it, now all i do is try to get other ppl into RA although most ppl will not love them as much as i do but that doesnt matter i still do it cuz IL RA like u2

[senorpeppers1221]

@theobesekid AMEN

[sayiangod1]

@theobesekid thank you i was brought here by an amv

[basskid969]

@theobesekid no im happy that you found them but remember a video game is where u learned it and all i was saying was fuck madden go rise

[AchangedPerson1]

@basskid969 amen to that

[JoeThePapalia]

@basskid969 its kind of funny how you know that madden has this song and you call others noobs lmao

[basskid969]

@JoeThePapalia do you know what a noob is idiot

[arttyboy16]

@basskid969 i like madden and iv'e known about this song before madden. y u so mad?

[beastsification]

maddden, my draft song!

[deafeye26]

16 people need to be shot out of a cannon into the sun

[i50calXxXbeast]

Like this if you was brought here by madden 12;)

[i50calXxXbeast]

you spelled architects wrong at 3:03 0_o

[xXDISASTERPIECE934Xx]

Tim McIlrath for Ruler of the World- 2012 <3

[SwonzX]

Rise Against - Architects (Don't you remember when we were young and we wanted to set the world on fire)

Against Me! - I was a Teenage Anarchist (Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire)

coincidence?

[BiasedGuy123]

The thing I love the most about Rise Against (Besides how awesome they sound) is the fact that they use the 1st Amendment right of Freedom of Speech to it's fullest. If this was any other country, they'd be fugitives. And their fans would make WAR!

[theidy1]

@BiasedGuy123 haha you obviously thinks US is the only country in the world performing the right of free speech..what a fucking idiot!!

[BiasedGuy123]

@theidy1 Uhh...ok then. I meant 'another' country. You should really calm your language and realize people make mistakes.

Like your parents did with you. :D

[Ianwyld3]

Basically this song is telling people to not just sit back a let people change your world. Be the architect and shape it how you want it. Example: The Tea Party Patriots that are trying to stop the shit changes Obama is trying to do. They are rising against that asshole.

[NujuonRS]

@Ianwyld3 Why is your playlist named Maroon 5?

[NchantedDreemz3]

I love these fuckin lyrics. They're sayin what I've been tryin to tell people for years

[Ebenezershnezer81]

This makes me want to go into politics and try and fix this country/world.

[ViltzuPro]

MX vs ATV alive brought me here

[DoitforthaLULZ]

Good music brought me here

[rokingcuz]

man i hope they do a music video with this song i love it so much :)

[Puhpit]

@aipodnano

You obviously do not know what this song is about.

[stopmeatgazzin]

15 people are blind and ment to tpye in justin bieber

[stopmeatgazzin]

@stopmeatgazzin type

[TheMotocrossman3]

@stopmeatgazzin: Thats the worst hater diss in the universe

[stopmeatgazzin]

@TheMotocrossman3 wow i dont get on youtube to start arguments with people lol get fuckin life

[jdwrecker]

idc wat game u herd dis song from, this is a great song and a great band theyre trying to make a difference in this world and theyre insperational so i give it two thumbs up

[themousemaster]

One thing i'm not sexist against my own gender but it always seems to be the males that make the most meaningful statements seems the girls are always looking pretty waiting for some handsome prince to have kids with and crap they never want to get out there, they never seem to want to escape the norms or society and the bs they are spoonfed just an observation but then again the picture painted for everthing in general is f'ed up. Rise Against are truly an inspiration =)

[TheChekan]

My appreciation for Rise Against brought me here...long before Madden 12 was even a thought in a developer's mind.

[DuncTheHoop]

@TheChekan

[maitallica]

@TheChekan lets be honest here, madden 12 was planned in 2000...

[aniharman100]

@maitallica What's madden 12?

[mrNikko77]

@aniharman100 every virgin rise against fan is brought to hearing this band because of madden, its a video game -_- but the real fans get the head bro

[jokebyLASSE]

@TheChekan Madden 12? WHo the heck is that?

[Kyledrummer1]

This song definitely has some question that people these days should think about.

[KaeMarshall]

2:05 makes me want to scream "HELL YEAH!" from the top of a building.

[SynysterBeast24]

I kind of understand this song, but kind of don't. Is this song about like the future generation of kids stepping up into the world and becoming mature? That's what it sounds like to me O_o

[Boxfresh2010]

elvive nutri-gloss can get fucked, i want my rise against.
