  • 'Society seems unphased that this is how it is, while I'm constantly amazed that this IS how it is.'

    I could not relate to that lyric more.

  • Brilliant video for a brilliant song. You two are very impressive, in being so poetic and profound in a style of music which very often talks about nothing more than misogyny and how great the singer him or herself is.

  • This sing is amazing it says it all. some people need to just get better for themselves and for everyone else. thank you for saying in a way people will listen to

  • Can I just say, every time I listen to one of these songs, I fall in love with the lyrics, and Pip.

    Then after a few times of listening, I realize that half the genius comes from the fantastic beats made by dan.

    Quality stuff, both of you.

  • How made this beat? sounds like a friend of mine from the u.k. named SuperPowerless

  • I've been listening to this song every single day for the past two years at least. I love it, the message, the beats, the lyrics. Thank you, Dan and Pip for writing about the truth, about the things that are relevant to the way we live our lives and most importantly, for making us look at the way we use class, age and education to excuse the fact that we're afraid of taking responsibility for ourselves and lives.

  • I'm so happy I found this, im definitely clearing my schedule to get farmilliar with all this music ! It's a breath of fresh air

  • This song was exactly what I needed.

  • pip, you are a genius.

    dan, you are an idol.

    as a producer & musician myself, your combination of amazing production work, unique sounds, and a perfect combination of thought provoking & powerful lyricism is a MASSIVE inspiration to me, & im sure im not the only one.

  • the only thing I don't like about them is that I'm unlikely to see them live.

    But this is a second best thing at least.

  • @AngelusDlion if you come to Bestival on the Isle of Wight you're pretty much guaranteed to see them. they're on sunday best and they've come the last few years

  • @MrAlfred1995 I live in Washington state USA. :)

    I'd love to come and visit, but it'd be tough for me to get the money to buy the ticket to see the show, much less the ticket to get there.

    Oh well, on the lottery dream list there.

  • @AngelusDlion Oh, dude, sorry, wasn't intentionally rubbing it in. Hope you can come over and see them one day, or they do a tour of USA some time!

  • @MrAlfred1995 No worries. I wasn't offended.

    Still wish I could see these guys live, but there's a lot of things I'd like to do that I can't afford. And in the end, they are "Just a band." right?

  • linking my dad to this video so he knows where I'm coming from

  • pip you only have one flaw mate you support millwall haha

  • pip you only have one flaw mate you support mi**wall

  • What powerful messages of truth. I love this song! "the internet and public services give free education," so "while the system might fail you, don't fail yourself"!

  • pink haired girl FTW!!!

    ps i just discovered this guy, pretty awesome i must say, where other than youtube can i find some more of his work?

  • I fuckin want that beard

  • Quite enjoyed. Thanks.

  • love every song by pip but this is defo one of my fav's :)

  • Holy shit, this song almost made me cry :/

  • @McFro95 then you're a pussy

  • @GeorgeHurst08 Fuck off, pompus twat

  • @GeorgeHurst08 *we got a badass here.jpg*

  • @GeorgeHurst08 As pussy as an internet bully?

    Have fun keeping your feelings repressed until they give you medical problems.

    Jackass.

  • @AngelusDlion Sorry if I'm missing something here, but which feelings am I keeping repressed? You've confused me...

  • @GeorgeHurst08 In general.

  • @AngelusDlion But calling him a pussy was expression of my feelings, therefore I'm not repressing my 'in general' feelings...

    I think you've lost the plot.

  • and also, scroob and dan, you need to teach the world. you have inspired me. i will get better today.

  • scroob, you and dan are always awesome. i think the trolls just dont understand the song. i love you guys, always will <3.

  • a friend of mine said that Pip is the best rapper of all time i know why he says that what he sings is about is anything from being better or being brave nothing like todays rap they all sing about drugs, sex and guns pip is against all of those so i think he actually is one of the best.

  • Thank you sir for this . Much love from the states

  • This is truly inspirational, I'm going to get better.

  • Dan and Pip: Please come to the states ASAP. Driving past my local high school, it's become increasingly apparent that we need you.

  • @bedforthescraping Agreed!

  • THIS.

  • From the mouth of a poet to the ears of the young, hopefully someone will listen and understand what needs to be done!

  • Every teenager in the world should be obligated to listen to this song before entering highschool. A little reason from philosopher pip could solve so many of the world's problems :)

  • This song is fucking brilliant!! Get better people!:)

  • Such a good song thhis man is a genius and an inspiration. i would have loved to be apart of this video just to meet him.

  • Mr pip is handsomeeee

  • Tell the chick with pink hair to hit me up lol

  • Findet ihr es auch geil dass er an beiden armen eine uhr hat ? :D

  • I want to massacre everyone with a machine gun just as they start to hug.

  • I'm reminded of Louis Theroux's attempt at rapping in his documentary on Dirty South gangsta rap o_O

  • they must of had so much fun filming this :D

  • He reminds me of Serj Tankian...

  • I wish i could have seen this video at 666.666 views :/

  • just get awesome.

  • OMG the girl with the pink hair took my breath away <3

  • @drnedzz

    I'm friends with her :) I gave her a lift to the recording

  • YAAAAAAAA MY JAMMMMMM

  • awesome tune, awesome vid, awesome moral message. Just the kind of message we all need

  • 80 people need to get better

  • The Messiah gave us a lesson of Life! 

  • Am I the only one who thinks that pink hair girl should be famous for being wicked hot?

  • Pip... I don't like hip-hop - I never have, and probab;y never will. But the message of this song and video is incredible and I stand behind it 100%.

  • I don't understand what everyone means when they talk about all these Trolls. I see nothing wrong with this video. Pip is a genius, and there's nothing else to say on this comment board.

    Either listen to the song or Fuck Off.

    Thanks.

  • @BillysOtherAccount I like the name of your account.

  • @BillysOtherAccount Hi Billy, the troll thing wasn't really about the song, it was about someone being particularly offensive to one of the people in the video. dan

  • @lesacvspip Oh right, sorry, didn't mean to offend. Love the work Dan.

  • @lesacvspip trollas gonna troll. tis the way of the interwebs

  • @BillysOtherAccount

    He's really not a genius. In fact in my opinion he's condescending. Genius, certainly not.

  • @CornishRicky

    That's not to say I don't like it btw.

  • @CornishRicky The two are not mutually exclusive.

  • His eyelashes are massive

  • Who is the 'Billy' that is referred to at the end of the song? "Like Billy says.."

  • @jonna2258 Billy Bragg - it's a lyric from his song "To have and have not" :o)

  • @DarkStarMusic not william shakespeare?

  • I wish the session that was portrayed in the music video was real, or that I could find something like it because it looks fun as hell. Also, cuz I have a small problem with being able to go out and meet new people...

    Love the music ^.^

  • God i love that line!

    The system might fail you, but don't fail yourself....

  • @tanty151 Billy Bragg wrote that line! - another Essex legend - check out 'To Have and Have Not' for the quote.

  • I put this video on my friends fb page bc she's sick today :/ Thanks for making this video its awesome! It made me smile:D haha

  • I used to get better till I took an arrow to the knee

  • The hell is this crap

  • get ß

  • @syn0bazZ get esset?

  • who's bella?

  • Fantastic artist and track!

  • Love this!

  • scroob and dan, has changed my way of thinking and I would like to thank them for their deep lyrics and awesome tunes! the world needs more music that is this good!

  • Scroobius Pip touched me in magical ways.

  • Wow. This was an amazing video.

  • If I just removed your comments it's because you are a troll or a troll feeder... D

  • @lesacvspip Good choice

  • @lesacvspip

    that's racist. while not a troll (i'm a orc) i don't think it's right to delete someone's comments just because they're a different race or provide nourishment for them. hurmph. really like the video tho.

  • that was an amazing song, i absolutely loved it :D

  • can't you people shut the fuck up and watch the god damn video

  • Love this track! 

  • the pink hair gurl <3

  • I sing this song to one of my cats. shes called bella. so naturally i sing "get Bella". hahah

  • for me this should be a motivation for all teens :)

  • holy shit this needs more views.

  • See, instead of the Jeremy Kyle Show... They could just give prospective guests a copy of this song! GET BETTER

  • It's about living better, for yourself. I love Pip, just wished he would venture to the U.S. sometime. Our independent concert scene isn't bad but, I would love seeing him in on it.

  • Very clever tune with a very clever message! It fits well with 'teen pop' (In my opinion). If it gets through to just 1 person then its worth wile! These guys need more media time! I wish id heard this when I was 13/14! RESPECT!

  • I don't comment often, but I have to say the "actors" in this video became people.

  • @OM3N1R weirdly most of them were students we found around Hastings...

  • That was a sick video :)

  • I dont think he should be primeminister, he is a sort of modern day philosopher, but presents his ideas through a medium that is more approachable than reading. That is my opinion anyway. I try and spread his wisdom around any way I can. Long live the Pip

  • what an amazingly positive and realistic message to teens! scroobius says what teachers, parents, politicians try so hard to say every day without it sounding like preaching or finger pointing. nice one

  • he should do motivational speeches! some of this stuff is fantastic

  • Ya'know, every time I hear him say "Glazed Eyes Disguise" I hear Borat.

  • Ah! I love this! First time I heard it! Its really amazing, I can't believe I have not heard it before this moment! But so glad I've heard it now.

  • Pyropuncher

  • Pyro

  • scroobius should be prime minister the fucking world would be a better more rounded place! the mans a lyrical genius! how can i find that girl with the pink hair???:-)

  • god dam scroobius is the best, he is what punk should have been, he is what hip hop should have become, and what music should be

  • 75 daily mail readers don't want educated

    

  • I'm 107 years old ( well, nearly and I've just discovered Scroobius ... He says it all .... thank you :))

  • something funny, if you look at these comments, you don't see any assholes or trolls. hell, there's a guy who asked what this is about, and no one ripped him a new one. just shows people who listen to scroobius are of a better kind. not saying we are above the rest, but we're just more...accepting, to go along with the song.

  • @filetemyoung83

    And both the top comments are well-thought out, longer than 2 words, and spelled correctly. This is not youtube, this is Scroobius. Hrmm... I feel like this comment isn't long enough, the comments here do set the bar higher.

  • @filetemyoung83 i wouldnt say it that way, i beleiev that its just the type of "i dont mind" attitude that has us being and deciding for ourselves rather than letting life get the better of us, so in a sense just always open to new possibilities as oppsed to utilising what we have already seen which in itself is a possibility just misconstrued as "is". so it really doesnt matter as long as we are all happy :D

  • @blakblade94 dude...i didn't understand how any of that fit in with what i said, but you know what? I agree with you 100%. Life is what you make it, not what is made for you.

  • @filetemyoung83 that sounds like aryian supremacy to me

  • @filetemyoung83 haha gaaaay.

  • @gnome667 Chang ? is that you ?

  • @gnome667 oh no, watch out everybody. Looks like we have someone who thinks he's funny. And i use the word "think" quite...wrongly.

  • @filetemyoung83 All of the trolls comments were deleted. The author of the video said so himself.

  • Dangleysack

  • @audas Seriously?

  • @blueblade50

    He needs a chorus or something so we can work it out.

  • @audas Haha, yeah man.

  • @audas i think its something to do with getting better but by the lyrics im not sure :P

  • DUDDEEE yes i love dlc but just to let u know the real genious behind them is scroobius pip, you should check out waiting for the beat to kick in by BLS its there best song no doughttt

  • wait so what is this song about?

  • I love the rhythm of his voice.

  • Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music, thou shalt not make repetitive generic music, thou shalt not make repetitive generic music, thou shalt not make repetitive generic music, thou shalt not make repetitive generic music.

  • This made it's way to my Facebook. Thumbs up

  • That therapy thing reminds me of fight club.

    What a tune

  • so beautiful so true

  • i love how he gives em condoms

  • Do you reckon the London Riots would've occured if this got played like.. Heaps? / if the government were up to much.

  • I love this man.. he speaks the truth, Lyrics with Meaning. Not afraid to swear in a way that emphasises what needs to be said.

    Need to go find this on iTunes :)

  • love this!!! so awesome

  • this should so be played in schools and if you don't like this video then there is just something wrong with you.

  • @rytrospyk1 lol, my bad! :P

  • Who ever this didn't put a smile on the face of is a cold blooded human being...

  • "Go out and have your fun, but there's plenty you can do without, impregnation."

    I seriously keep wishing he said "impregnatin' one" to make it rhyme, its bugging me terribly

  • @legofreak27 haha same man :P

  • @legofreak27 but thats not a word

  • They confuse love at first site with lust at first light

    So good

  • Scroobius Pip, fixing britain one song at a time

  • Comment removed

  • is the girl at 1:07 supposed to be representing trichotillomania? either way, it hit me really hard and made me cry. i love you dan & scroob so much more for that.. 19 year sufferer <3

  • Thank fuck someone said it! fair play, fair play.

  • great message

  • I'm in love with the girl with pink hair. xD

  • @jackwild90 yh propa fuck her back doors up ugm

  • Man, i'm not joking, but this is possibly one of the most repetetive generic music i've ever heard... and i love Scroobius Pip :L

  • For some reason, Scroobius Pip reminds me of Jack Sparrow...

  • i love the fact Pip has a digital & analogue wrist watch!

  • I'm all better now, thanks!

  • It's sad that the songs that teach us something can't reach public mainstream maybe people would actually learn something useful. Great song and message.

  • If I could like this song a million times, it wouldn't be enough. I really do love this song, more than just about any other single ever.

  • Not to mention the internet. I learned 90% of my career skills from the internet. It's all there. Find what you like to do, then learn how to do it as best you can. Have to motivation to really change your life. If you enjoy the subject, it turns out there's no effort involved. Every person that reads: You DO have the ability to learn, you DO have the opportunity to get that job you always wanted, you DO have the drive within you to excel. Just have the motivation to start.

  • So many people I've met that see the concept of going to university as ludicrous, but this track points out precisely my stance on the matter. You can get onto a university course using student finance, which is available to all. You pay nothing during the course, only paying money back when you have a job and earn above a certain wage. It's taken out of your pay automatically. Most education is out there for free, just have the motiviation to go do something and get bettter.

  • awesome video.

  • Great positive message. Go Scroobius.
