      @@aveareg "Leave the big talk to the adults" was really not a strong point to end your argument, especially regarding the fact that I'm 25 years old and have donated too.
      The point I was trying to get across is that nobody cares about about the cause of these fires: climate change and overexploitation of natural resources. Donating to extinguish the fires will save lives, but to really make a difference we have end burning fossil fuels and aid our eco systems. If we carry on like we used to, we will permanently destroy our livelihood on earth.
      And this is in essence the point of Harakiri too. The future will view all history as a crime.

Universal that is basically the giant of globalization from music to Hollywood. He was already famous before selling the lable. What about Radiohead? Did they need to have a lable to release all those massive albums? Rise against? White stripes? Elton John? Many of the biggest hits of these artists were with indie labels.I'm totally fine and a fan of indie labels but the enemy of major ones. I appreciate and love Serj's music but I don't believe it.

    Deciding to fly against the sky
    Within our dreams, we all wake up
    To kiss the ones who are born to die
    We're the greying herds
    Hurting each other with our lies
    Within our dreams, we all wake up
    To kiss the ones who are born...
    Born to die
    Born to die
    The drum fish
    They beached themselves in Harakiri
    The blackbirds
    They fell in thousands from the sky
    Their red wings
    Streaming down from the higher seas
    Deflected by the ground
    They crowned the sun
    They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
    They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
    But I believe that they are free
    When their time was done (Their time was done)
    They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun)
    But I believe that they are free
    Washed by the sun
    Our statues
    The soaring edifice of our times
    Detracted from the ways of the wise
    The future will view all history as a crime
    So father, tell us when is the time to rise
    They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
    They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
    But I believe that they are free
    When their time was done (Their time was done)

    Deflected by the grounds
    They crowned the sun
    They crowned the sun
    But I believe that they are free
    When their time was done
    They were drowned by the only One

    Our statues
    The soaring edifice of our times
    Detracted from the ways of the wise
    The future will view all history as a crime

    [Chorus]
    We're the day birds
    Deciding to fly against the sky
    Within our dreams, we all wake up
    To kiss the ones who are born to die
    We're the greying herds
    Hurting each other with our lies
    Within our dreams, we all wake up
    To kiss the ones who are born
    Born to die
    Born to die
    [Verse 1]
    The drum fish
    They beached themselves in Harakiri
    The blackbirds
    They fell in thousands from the sky
    Their red wings
    Streaming down from the higher seas
    Deflected by the ground
    They crowned the sun
    [Refrain]
    They crowned the sun
    (They crowned the sun)
    They crowned the sun
    (They crowned the sun)
    But I believe that they are free
    When their time was done
    (Their time was done)
    They were drowned by the only one
    (They crowned the sun)
    But I believe that they are free
    Washed by the sun
    [Quote from Lyndon B. Johnson (Video Version Only)]
    These are the stakes. We must either love each other, or we must die
    [Verse 2]

    The soaring edifice of our times
    Detracted

    The future

    So, Father
    Tell us, when is the time to rise?

    We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars. There's no place to escape to, this is the last stand on earth

      Most of the things are false though. We are doing extremely well right now (with the exception of global warming but I will get to that). On basically every metric we are doing better than ever before. There is less crime, less infant death, less disease, less wars, when there are wars less people die, less murder, less stealing, more rights across the globe, less people living in poverty, less starvation, less malnutrition, etc, etc. You can essentially pick anything and it's better today than ever before. If you had to pick a time to be born, right now would be the absolute best choice hands down.
      The only thing getting worse is climate change and our energy use. It's absolutely important and the most important thing in the world right now to switch from fossil fuels ot anything else be it nuclear or wind or sun or whatever. This video has a lot of things wrong; GMO's arent an issue at all, radiation is not an issue at all, wars were definitely fought way before 2925 BC heck Chimpanzees wage multi year wars (pretty brutal wars too btw).
      I absolutely love this song and it's brilliant as fuck but I feel like the message is a bit misdirected. Yes there are problems that need solving but we humans are pretty good at solving issues. When we found out that CFC's were causing the ozone-layer to get fucked up we globally decided to ban the practice and we were mostly succesful, succesful enough that the ozone-layer is healing. When we found out lead fuel was causing disease world wide, we put a stop to leaded fuel. Humanity is continually making progress and defeatist attitudes like this don't help.

    We're the greying herds
    Hurting each other with our lives
    Within our dreams, we all wake up
    To kiss the ones who are born to die
    Born to die, born to die
    The drum fish
    They beached themselves in Hara-kiri
    The blackbirds
    They fell in thousands from the sky
    Their red wings
    Streaming down from the higher seas
    Deflected by the grounds
    They crowned the sun
    They crowned the sun
    But I believe that they are free
    When their time was done
    They were drowned by the only One
    But I believe that they are free
    Washed by the sun
    Our statues
    The soaring edifice of our times
    Detracted from the ways of the wise
    The future will view all history as a crime
    So father, tell us when is time to rise
    They crowned the sun
    They crowned the sun
    But I believe that they are free
    When their time was done
    They were drowned by the only One
    But I believe that they are free
    They crowned the sun
    They crowned the sun
    But I believe that they are free
    And we believe that they are free
    'Cause I believe that they are me
    Washed by the sun

    When I was 18-23 years old, I loved to go to pubs during week-end nights, getting pissed and what not.
    At that age, there was a "war" between emos, rockers etc. They were fighting over music tastes. Not fighting like hitting each other, more like.. arguing about what and why their music taste is better. Sound really silly to me now, but we were young and those were the times. I showed up once with a SOAD T-Shirt and I was the only one that nobody picked on. They all realized that no matter what your taste of music is, you cannot hate SOAD or Serj.
    Therefore, you already united us, Serj, with your music. Cheers from Romania.

      +Isaac Baranoff GMOs are not trees that help in the maintenance of the oxygen concentration in the planet. They are made to grow fast a d be harvested faster than normals vegetables will. The basic genetic makeup if the paint has be altered to make it immune to pests and increase yield. Although I don't agree with it, it is the only solution to the food crisis going on in the world. The main cause of all problems is the rising population. Too many human beings are spread on this earth like cancer and eating the planet away to the extant that it cannot repair itself in time. Also about your idea on nuclear power, do you what the waste product of nuclear energy is? It is not water or hydrogen ( that is the waste product in nuclear fusion, which is not harvested by man yet) but more Uranium or Thorium, which ever the plant uses. The energy it produces is more powerful and cleaner that thermal plants but the waste it leaves is one we cannot dispose of and is extremely toxic to us and the planet. What we need is a cleansing, a plague to wipe out a huge number of the population and better family planning ideologies to safeguard this planet if not, there will be no planet for the next generation to care about.

    meaning(for me) we expect everybody to think, feel and act the same way we do but in reality we are all prisoners of our own wirings and systems: genetics, neurophysiology/chemistry, childhood brain development, experiences, environment etc.. which manifests in adulthood and we are the way we are (mostly unconsciously).. nobody deserves praise nor blame.. but at the same time for the greater good, we need to stop sociopaths and narcissists(specially world leaders) that cause so much harm and suffering in this world.
