Jimmy Eat World - Work

[StagnantSociety]

I hated high school, I just wished I picked better friends. After going to college and meeting new friends like the ones I have now has made life amazing. University time is around the corner and I'm so scared. I feel like I'm wasting my life but I need to do this.

[ilovian]

omg this song...

[angrykyleproductions]

dumbass teenagers, life sucks then you die... just try to make it suck as little as possible and make the most out of it. The people who bitch and complain about their lives like the ppl in this video are the ones who go nowhere. Newsflash you are living in a first world country with every possible opportunity out there for you .. anyways enough drunkin ranting, great song but horrible video

[tbell780]

@angrykyleproductions thats what i always say when i see something saying there life sucks or something when it clearly dosent they just make it suck instead of trying to make better

[rsipe555]

oh...my heart just sank with how much this song spoke to me...

[higgins89]

The guy at 3:30 kinda sounds like Seth Rogen...

[CMHappyBurns]

Great song but these spoiled kids almost ruin it for me. Everybody wants to explore, sure, but the whining is a bit much. If you can't be happy in Madison, of all places, then you may not be happy anywhere and you should probably see a psychiatrist.

[SirApolloOfficial]

THE SHITNESS OF EXPECTING JIMMY EAT WORLD N SEEING A PITBULL ADVERT! URGH1!!

[mitchstacey34]

3:40 Lebron James talking

[domotime2]

best "Graduation" song ever. this came out a year after i graudated high school, and now this rings even louder now considering the climate of our society and economy and life is right now. Lost Generation.

[JLF006]

485k for this song is disgusting. Peeps have no taste what so ever these days.

[Megatonaxe]

@JLF006 theres a message in the song as well as hearing the song, better then any rap bullshit about rsex,drugs,and more sex

[MrBollocks666]

I should be doing an assignment right now.. Instead I'm listening to this. xD

[MrBollocks666]

Haha, I started my final year of highschool this week, this is making me wonder if I really do want to go to university like I've been pushed to all my life.

It's a hard choice...

[shastamania]

@MrBollocks666 I hated high school when I was in it but now that i'm out, i would give anything i have to have one more day to spend with all my REAL friends. And don't question going to college, it's the best way to move on after high school.

[dorkchop2007]

I remember listening to this in high school

high school were the best times in my life.

[ilovian]

@dorkchop2007 agreed :')

[WCarpentier]

Great song ruined by the ramblings of teenagers who know f**k all about anything ..

[hottstarz94]

beautiful song, beautiful video, beautiful words, :) Song deserves 1 billion views with no dislikes!

[The1JessF]

im a sophomore, and i understand this too well. i cant stop it, i wish i could:/

[Denomar]

I wish Liz Phair had appeared in the video. Her voice works so well with his...!

[liarmom]

you never had time...it's a myth

[MultiRiley69]

I first heard this song when I was 14, and loved it. Now I know the true meaning behind the lyrics.. I wish I really could have taken that ride outa here. Life is so much harder when the bliss of ignorance is gone.

[impaledbowl]

i will be some one

[snoopyfix2]

My favorite album of there's. They're always so inventive...:) I love it.

[wahyugml]

Seriously, I can't stop listening to this song. Beautiful WORK by JEW :)

[nabzblitz]

hey guys, do check out my one man band cover of this song. thanks! :)

/watch?v=OvjK5teCnoA

[YourTypicalSellOut]

This song is just purely beautiful. Enough said.

[radiohead322]

the lead singer reminds me of jim carrey.

[Beshuu2]

@radiohead322 Intersting, I dont see it though.

[Apanzon]

@Beshuu2 They do look ALOT alike as i noticed watching Coffee and Cigarettes (Live at Edge Studios, Sugar Beach)

[iasian246]

@radiohead322 they are both jim... hmmmm....

[videogamekiller1000]

@radiohead322 DAMM YOUR RITE LOL

[maxjacobson1]

@radiohead322 Touché

[Lucebby]

How sad. When you're in 5th grade and you love this song and don't know why, then it becomes buried with childhood dreams and memories, til you accidentally dig it up as your applying for colleges and you just think "What the hell happened? Where did the time go?" and you understand the song, but wish you didn't.

[allisonsnickers]

@Lucebby You understand my life hahahaha. SO TRUE.

[NiKKiBSEXCii]

@Lucebby omg you took the words right out of my mind!

that totally happened to me.

[SASJKL]

@Lucebby you're graduating this year? me too...and i feel exactly the same.

[bigdsears]

@Lucebby Wait until you get 46, you look back and go ---- what the heck happened to the time... And everyone treats you as some old person, and your friends are all gone, your parents gone. Growing old alone is not for the faint of heart, I'd reccomend getting married at a younger age and then have some kids ...

[misssarahann413]

@Lucebby I was in 8th I believe when this came out and I loved the song without I guess really listening to it to and it just came in my head, so I youtube'd it and pretty much cried hysterically because I 'understand the song, but wish I didnt"

you put it perfectly.

[realityisforever]

@Lucebby crying now.

[MrKevinflo]

@Lucebby You can't be more right.

[MelMel4prez]

@Lucebby I know! I'm going through the same thing now

[nick123455]

@Lucebby shit that comment is so fucking true. i wish i could talk to you right now

[Lucebby]

@nick123455 Feel free to message me! We all need someone to vent to. I'm here for you.

[jadedjaidenXD]

Anyone else rape the replay button?!?!?!

[zaresinX25X]

really good band and this is a nice song ^_^

[marisapimpin]

this video is fuckin stupid. the song is called WORK but all them rich white kids dont know what real work is. everything has been handed to them..

oh well the song is coo though.

[MatteoBurke]

@marisapimpin The title being "Work" doesn't have to mean earning money..could be about working on a relationship or something else..

[FactoryMalfunction]

@marisapimpin Are you that ignorant? Not every white kid is rich and just because we're white doesn't mean we don't have to work to live our lives. Yeah, some people are better off than others but that's not always because they have money or because of their skin color. Some people are better off because they're smart and they use their education to succeed. No one has their entire life just handed to them on a silver platter.

[Lucebby]

@marisapimpin Not all white people are rich and "have everything handed to them." I'm just sayin.

[Liveandletskate666]

@marisapimpin obviously, you can't decipher music. even if it were like you said, just getting through adolecense is work for almost everyone. growing up isn't an easy thing, no matter where you come from.  I'm sorry your life has been difficult, and I really hope your feet land firmly on the ground one day. but please, don't be like that. it'll just make you have to WORK harder.

[steezybatch]

I must say im out of school and I don't miss a second of it. School turned into jail with all the new rules in the system

[ThePhilosorpheus]

Enjoy every moment? what the hell are these people talking about? When I was in school I loved being with my friends but school itself is a horrible experience, the concept of education that we have today is so twisted. All this optimism is nonsense, life only tear people apart after school, it only gets worse until everything you could be is reduced to being a nobody who works everyday at something you don´t like, still having foolish dreams about impossible futures.

[IMNME45]

When I was this age, i just can't understand that my friends wanted to leave the town so much, i started to just hate the system, the tv, that makes you think that always in the big city everything's better, then when i was in college, in the city, i started to understand my friends, when you don't have a real home in your house, when you have the courisity of knowing the outside world, maybe it's cruel and some people suffer, but at the end of the day the experience teaches you what's important

[jennys1903]

Its sad, these kids are probably now saying they wish they could have stayed in school longer, Being a grown up out of school is harsh comparison to the real world. Why do we always think as kids we want to hurry and be an adult? I wish I could back in time, I'd whine less, went and had alot more fun, and I wouldn't have been such a pain for my parents.

[ThePhilosorpheus]

@jennys1903 That would be being an adult in the skin of a teenager... Teen angst´s got a reason, the idea we have of "growing up" is just succeeding at repressing that angst, is just conforming to the possibilities that are at hand and forgetting that angst. It comes back sometimes, those immature feelings, don´t they? That´s who we really are

[BrodyKaiser]

I graduated back in May. I'm really pushing tears back right now...

[racewalker9999]

@BrodyKaiser For me it's even worse with that one Graduation song from the 90's. I graduated in May as well.

[Ikr3ationI]

School is the best time you will ever have, childhood is a beautiful thing. I'm just 17 but i realized just a lil too late that you should take advantage of being clueless of the world. The most beautiful view on life is through the eyes of a child. Be kind, show respect, and live your life with the most fun.

[ACParker13]

Enjoy life no matter what age you are, especially in high school. Stop taking things so seriously, like who is dating Derek or Laura, that you heard someone might have said you're a loser, or that you don't have the new UGG boots in black. Surround yourself with good, fun people and enjoy what life serves you up. Put equal amount of effort into class as you do into your hair and/or your football team. Be nice to people, you don't have to be friends with everyone, but be nice. It'll all pay off.

[Orionspencer]

It's a lie. A kiss with opened eyes.

[lavendergothgirl]

That's my hood. Madison West is actually not a hellhole like they make it look in the video.

[AwesomeDude497]

Time does fly by... but thts life

[ivanmr89]

how it is possible that an excellent song and video have less than a million of views =(

[DaannieCalifornia]

I'd just finished with first grade when this song came out...I'm now in the middle of eighth grade. Getting ready to get out of Jr. High.

<3 I've loved Jimmy Eat World since I was in about third grade.

[PlainHope]

:O Holy... Member of West High class of 2014 here ^-^

[moah909]

[Lavargne]

[hawkslaxman7]

[geoffpeterstrio]

[LOS91VG]

THATS MY HIGH SCHOOL! WEST HOUSE! CLASS OF 2010! FOREVER! MADTOWN!

[uruguay152]

1:18 URUGUAY´S FLAG, I AM SO HAPPY, I LOVE THE BAND

[TheDeadlyStrawberry]

13 people fainted because of the beauty of this song and accidentally hit the dislike button. IT'S OBVIOUS!

[raggedychiaanarchy]

whoever said high school was the best time in your life was obviously homeschooled. And i LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its like one of my theme songs

[AkselU2]

One Tree Hill.

[AllySaysRawwr]

NICE :D

[DocCallihan]

so many memories with this song

[BrilliantlyBecks]

"I'm excited of getting out of here" is the story of my life. I'm 20 and, unfortunately, hasn't happened yet. I still sit in this shithole town at a shithole Community College in a shithole financial situation. True Story, bro.

[HAsmatarian]

WoW! F-in Love Jimmy Eat World! Listenin to alot of Jimmy Eat World, Hey You!, The Offspring, Weezer, Paramore, No Doubt, and Blink-182....

Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaay dope. Rock/Punk/Pop with a real cool edge. Plus they've got a cute chick singer ;-) ....check em out....

search "hey you band taking over"

[geminii187]

Jim's long hair is funny. This is a great song, though.



[TheSupermoc]

OTH brought me here!!!

[naks1989]

there's one song that's better than this.

THIS live.

[ieatrainbows13]

@naks1989 i saw them perform this live. It was amazing<3

[MrSolomonHaokip]

dàmn §

[jaymiles81]

Why doesn't this vid have at least 10,000,000 views!!!!!!!

[jaymiles81]

One of the greatest songs of all time!!!!

[imjdmyo]

I remember being in like fifth grade watching this, thinking those high schoolers were so grown up and mature, now I'm one of them. Graduating class of 2012.. wow times fly by

[yayalovee36]

@imjdmyo I feel the exact same way. its insane how fast the time goes. im also graduating in 2012.

[lifeisgood1013]

@imjdmyo Now I think that the majority of High Schoolers are not very mature (I'm in my last year of High School too). Seriously, they bitch about things that really aren't a big deal, and act as if their lives are so hard. Not to mention that most of them don't even work hard to get to where they want to be, nor do they even give two shits about their future. I'm not saying all High Schoolers are like this, but the vast majority of them, in America at least, are exactly how I described them.

[TEAMLSDFORLIFE]

@imjdmyo Class of 2012 we are the future :)

[Fairdude7]

@imjdmyo yea me too haha...exact same story ^_^

[slnd94]

perfect!

[adamsan87]

12 people never get their own problems....

[racewalker9999]

What these kids don't realize is that you might hate high school but trust me when you get out you want to go back inside. Life should never be viewed as a jail. You might not like a situation but if you cherish every second it might not seem bad at all.

[0Aesir]

@racewalker9999 Tbh I hated school, I'm still doing fine.

[racewalker9999]

@0Aesir I wasn't saying that if you hate school you will not succeed, but I am saying for all we know we are given one life on earth, why not do your best to enjoy every second of it rather than viewing sections as jail. Its only a jail if you make it jail.

[akerkay]

Ayeee WEST HIGH!!! <3

[grettahanson]

AYY THIS IS MY HIGHSCHOOL!

[animegeek3995]

I go to West, it has a really good fine arts program, it's so weird seeing it in a music video though O_O Oh, and our mascot is a Regent, which, according to our school, is a lion XD

[deathlygod102]

@animegeek3995

Hahahaha! Me 2 :D

[tommytwocaps]

I go to Madison West, and it is an exceptional school. This is so awesome

[Volcom697]

Did anyone else notice that the guy at 1:11 is an actor from the movie Radio?

[Murdermagictricks]

@Volcom697 prove it

[pinehapples]

I love the whole lanterns and pictures hanging from a tree. Then the sunset-like setting. It's so serene.

[altern8sweet]

I know Jimmy Eat World because of this song. They are AMAZING!!!

[TheRVP11]

I finished high school last year, now i am at university and this song reminds me of the great times i had at high school. University life is great, but trust me, i miss high school a lot. Life was so much easier back then. To anyone still at high school and under the age of 18, enjoy yourselves, because life gets a LOT harder once you are out of the safe haven of school.

[52appaZ]

People by Vultures Await is a better song

[austinrules12]

The lead singer looks like G-man from Scott Pilgrim vs The World.

[bhansenftw]

*insert witty remark about dislike bar being bigger than justin beibers penis here*

[zeebeam]

Jimmy Eat World is so melodic and emotional.

[sum41christosn4Life]

This song sucks soooooooooo bad

[GreenDayDookieDemos]

@sum41christosn4Life fuck you in the ass

[dogcat136]

[LunaWolf64]

story of my life

[analauramvd15]

minute (1:18).. uruguayan flag! amazing..

[OddRobb]

Why does this video even HAVE a dislike button???

[savemefromhell1000]

@OddRobb cause the ppl who dis like it are mo fo's. and dont have any good taste in music.

[ihaveashirtforthat]

@OddRobb in case someone doesn't like it.

[OddRobb]

@ihaveashirtforthat WAIT WHAT??? HOLD ON... WHOA! NO WAY.

[ihaveashirtforthat]

@OddRobb Sadly yes.

[ANDREWakaTHUNDER]

@OddRobb So people and "pretend dislike" it

[ANDREWakaTHUNDER]

@OddRobb So people can "pretend dislike" it

[OnlyTy91]

@OddRobb This is just a theory, mind you, but here's *my* idea of why this song has a dislike button: ...The like/dislike button, used to replace the 'star system' of rating youtube videos used till 2009, was deemed a better way for people to anonymously share their opinion of a video. Now to the root of your question; why is there a dislike button on "Work", by Jimmy Eat World? Well, probably because the program comes standard on all youtube videos. It's not a conspiracy.

Hope this helped.

[SCnation]

@OddRobb because its kinda gay

[hungoverontues]

ill take that "light-tree" over college any-day

[taylorbaylor22]

I fucking love this song!!!!!!!

[XEddyGanztaX]
