Flobots - Stand Up

[A2Z11tree]

Jedi Mind Trick's prodigies?

[iplaysongs4u]

@A2Z11tree JMT and Flobots are on different levels, and with different styles. I like the calmness of these guys, but JMT speaks it like it is with ill lyrics. Flobots though, is at the same overall level, but with interesting beats,

[swilso421]

The majority of people will give in to peer pressure and will avoid learning things like music and politics because most people don't bother to care. What they don't realize is that for the youger generation these will be their problems one day but they're too busy watching people who have friends in high places become famous. We need intelligent people to run global politics and memorizing who's on the top 25 music groups does not qualify as intelligence. This is my opinion.

[Sora657]

@swilso421 You sir or madam are not a sheeple and are intelligent.

[ltdoyle02]

@2Bforsaken I agree in some sense.... if you look back at history all the wars that have been fought , and all the blood that has been shed . all began and ended in a lesson to be learned...Violence is the answer !? for example :Do you think if the government knew "the people "had enough ammunition and organization they could over throw the big government I.E.... FBI , DEA , CIA ect. they would be up to the shit they are ?

[killerinstinct555]

Whatever to the music? It's all popularity now. Flobots is the most underrated band that is fucking awesome!!! I love Flobots. Popularity is not what makes someone a good musician. So why do people base good music as something that's popular. It's about skill isn't it? Hell Flobots is fucking better than lil wayne Drake beiber or that other shit kids listen to these days. When I was a kid I listen to music LIKE THIS!! I never listened to untalented people.

[bladudemovies]

I believe that flobots is one of the lasts groups that can still be considered art because they provoke a different prospective on life

[2Bforsaken]

I have mixed feelings about the lyrics. The only thing I don't like is that they preach nonviolence. Not that violence is always the answer . In nazi germany the jews were nonviolent and look how it worked out for them. A small number faught back, but mostcooperated with thier government only making thier deaths take longer. If someone uses force you should use force back to show them that they won't get away with it in the future. If they don't you be as kind as possible. Just my theory...

[OffhandCogitation]

@2Bforsaken I agree with you wholeheartedly. Especially in "White Flag Warriors", I've always contemplated over this.

Peace may claim not to waste lives, but peaceful calls are often ignored, or gored.

[202cardline]

@2Bforsaken I know what you mean. You're right, & I think more important than what the Jews did is what everyone else did in Germany when they found out what was going on. Staying peaceful meant staying passive. Ignoring the situation might have been the safest thing to do - avoiding fighting and conflict - but it wasn't the right thing. and they screwed themselves later. I don't know...All that matters is where your actions take you. Staying passive isn't always the right thing.

[bullridinismylife98]

this song has meaning im a country boy who loves the old shit but this fukin great

[pyromunkee13]

stand up, we shall not be moved, except by a child with no socks and shoes

if you got more to give, then you've got to prove, put your hands up and I'll copy you

[ThePotatoChef]

Whover disliked doesnt understand the term "meaningful music"



[somethingcl3ver]

Real shit.

[chrisT1510]

These guys aren't the best musicians I've heard, but their music means something. 'Spect

[muggycheetos]

@chrisT1510 Lmao "'Spect"? Go pretend to be cool somewhere else.- Agnostic

[chrisT1510]

@muggycheetos Sort it out mate, I was just showing my appreciation for these guys and their music.

[BlackSheep442]

super cool

[THEBrookalis]

This is what my generation is lacking... freedom of speech, nonconformity, and thinking for themselves.

Thank You, Flobots<3

[superkiader]

these guys sing songs that matter and send a message

[TheImpersonatorVEVO]

Press 7, it's probably why you're here.

[Ferusraven]

[noahwhinegarden]

I love the flobots and I started listining to them when I was 3 and im 11. FLOBOTS

[angelicgirl01]

When he say "We the people did not want war"....PWNED

[Tarzan2235]

flobots r awesome. i like how they always have something good and worth singing about. they always sing about real life problems

[nenadg87]

this is some real shit

[MissNarnia98]

@nenadg87 i disagree, how? :)

[XCRacer1234]

@sacment To think about all of the great lyrics you just heard :D

[sacment]

Great song. But why is there 2 and a half minutes of silence at the end?

[PedroMutton]

The greatest ideas start with the smallest ideas

[PedroMutton]

Why'd someone dislike this?

[ganstaBIOTCH]

Flobots r hella savage.

[SMParkour1]

i Just Killed one man

[CookieOnMyShoulder]

i was gonna say OMG NO DISLIKES JUST WHAT THIS VIDEO DESERVES! then... i saw the 1 dislike

[McDonaldsKillz]

Stand up! We shall not be moved except by a child with no socks or shoes. If you got more to give, then you've got more to prove. Puts your hands up and I'll copy you. Stand up! We shall not be moved except by a women dying by a loss of food. If you've got more to give, then you got more to prove. Puts your hand up and I'll copy you...GO FLOBOTS!

[BabehSoxz]

[Magnetohydrodynamics]

Flobots are a genuinely interesting band with interesting political views.

[MrPVP21]

DAMN IT one person is still sittin down....

[Blaqkcex]

How is it that 3oh!3 has more fans than Flobots? They have no real talent compared to Flobots!!!

[yammiexx]

@Blaqkcex i like 3oh!3 and Flobots... :)

[SuperStewcat]

@Blaqkcex Simple: Sex sells.

[Rotflomg256]

Heeey :D 4:24

[shinegreymonBM]

i laughed so hard when i heard the part with the radio saying "i was all slapping that ass son" XD

[J1a2s3o4n500]

i like the part where he stands up

[s4l420]

thats what im saying flobots actually rap bout real shit and there from colorado haha i love being able to say someone so good came out of my home state

[mechajesus2000]

I love what they sing about... their not like all the other bullshit songs that Jay-Z and the other fags fuckin write

[Fallenshinobi23]

haha, some other fags. if you listen to Immortal Technique he has a much more brutal message but the message is the same

[paboy4]

@Fallenshinobi23 immortal Technique has nice lyrics to but hes messages are about changing yourself, flobots are about changing the world. but to change the world you need to first change yourself. both are real talented musicians with great msges to be given

[Fallenshinobi23]

@paboy4 very well put! i know what u mean

[rsboy5]

@mechajesus2000 yep they actually talk about a real world. other rappers talk about bs that will never make a chance

[SuperGregory58]

@mechajesus2000 yea i with u on that 1

[aRachyy]

@mechajesus2000 Jay-z good fool

[hedgimon]

@aRachyy he means they write about something that has true meaning not just about getting money cars and girls or smoking weed

[aRachyy]

@hedgimon when jay-z did shit with linkin park i don't recall him going on and on about money cars and girls.

[Memmag02]

@aRachyy The word "when" is in the past

[TheKaygent]

@mechajesus2000 Last I checked, what they sing about is social criticism. Among the things criticized is rampant homophobia, which casual use of terms along the lines of "fags" embodies. Claiming to like a genuinely progressive band using the language of a bigot is hypocritical at best.

[9zreed]

@mechajesus2000 why is okay for someone to use the word fag to denigrate people? And get 34 pluses. Do you really understand what they sing about?????????????????????????­??????????????????????

[mechajesus2000]

@9zreed I completely understand. Why is it okay for 90% of rappers today use the words "Whore", "Cunts", "Fags", "Dykes" and other words a like and get a record deal?

[9zreed]

@mechajesus2000 its not its offensive no matter what

[iiiRevize]

@mechajesus2000 Better not be including Eminem in that list of "other fags". Flobots rap about others life and Eminem raps about HIS life. Really good band/rappers. Both are the top 5 for rapping about real life instead about sex,drugs, and girls.

[mechajesus2000]

@iiiRevize I hardly believe all of his songs are about his songs. I hardly believe BARELY any of them are about his life. See, it's a little thing called "industry". They can make somebody's life seem as if it's one of the worst to come. Like they've gone through hell and back to reach the top. Like they've been dealing with addiction for years and years to come. I can understand him being addicted and others to his childhood. But the rest is just simply incest rape and fucked up jokes to me now

[iiiRevize]

@mechajesus2000 Seriously? Ever heard what happened to him when he was 3 or 4? Its called "having you dad leave you and your mom addicted to drugs". Never talk shit about someone that great unless youve been through what he has been through. He was an undergound rapper and then Dre signed him. He is the biggest artist in the game right now and 5 years to come. He was on drugs when he made albums and he talks about it through music. "Industry" made him a LITTLE popular as if the flobots are.

[bagon98]

@iiiRevize As if Flobots are as popular as Jay-z. This generation of kids know nothing of what there running in to with modern day music. Learning about life with songs about sex, drugs, and partying doesnt help. Listening to inspirational bands like Flobots will teavh you early.

[rationalthinker66]

@mechajesus2000

my friend, you have missed the point of this band if you still call others fags for doing something they love

[potts1410]

@rationalthinker66 atleast these guys r real. hence "real rap" eminem and lil wayne rap about shit they know nothing about. i garuntee most of them arent what they make themselves out to be

[DeathLockNipple]

@rationalthinker66 Thank you, you understand

[TheKaygent]

@mechajesus2000

Given the content of Superhero, as well as the general philosophy that Flobots espouses praising them by condemning others as "fags" misses the point in a rather spectacular fashion.

[guitarlover654]

@TheKaygent ...This comment made my day. Marry me. >_>

[NixeonDead]

@TheKaygent that was awesome

[zombieman48]

@TheKaygent what did the guy say?

[twitchMAC17]

@mechajesus2000 While I agree about just about all mainstream hip hop nowadays, I don't think you've listened to any Jay-Z, or at least anything but the popular stuff. He's actually under appreciated by those of us that want substance in music.

[zabia92]

@mechajesus2000 lol what your trying to say is that they are political.

[DayzOfOurLolz]

@mechajesus2000 but i like Jay-Z...... But yeah flobots are kickass lol

[ScHiMpFiNaToR]

So meaningful...

[ScHiMpFiNaToR]

Flobot are awesome

[goodytwoshoes11]

this such a meaningful song, he is so right. we are under god but we are killing. We the people do not want war. obamo needs to listen to this. and to all obamo-haters he is going to be a great pres. I love this song so much; its my ringtone. I wasnt even embarassed that it was my ringtone when it went off. THIS RIGHT HERE- is seriously , the most inspiring song.

[rykerAH]

the flobots rock

[moviemaster27]

love this band so much, all of their songs are just great, very deep and meaning story behind their songs, keep it up guys

[CaptainLandcaster]

The nation of America is based on the phrase "We the people", to bad we the people have no say in anything regaurding taxes, economy, vitos, or war anymore..."put you're hands up and I'll caopy you".

[hannahnobaka]

Song has agreat meaningg! (:

[LiLbunzilla]

good song for martin luther king jr. day

[whynotzoidburg]

"We The People Did Not Want War!"

[anrutoenix1]

i think the government is not letting me spread the word!! cause it wont let me share this song!!

[Gskrub69]

this song is.. sad.. and very true and really if one person was to stand up against it and have good reason and not just against war.. Not just for what is going on in the us for one another for the safety of the united states.. and if one FUCKING PERSON WOULD HAVE GOOD ENOUGH REASON to fight the government the whole us would fight with them.. and really we have something to prove.. we are suposed to be the nation of the free and the home of the brave all of us are nothing but cowards!

[maraudingchimpanzee]

then do it.

[EleventhHour69]

Or maybe we just understand in our subconsious that we ARE free, although we may not agree with everything the government says. Violence is not the answer, for no group of civillians stands a chance against the great U.S. military. This song promotes excercising rights and standing up for what we believe in without the use of extreme violence. It isn't cowardice, it's the lack of intelligent leadership that prevents us from doing something for ourselves.

[sk8foreveryone]

flobots own

[MegilGallant]
