I'm a homeless Army veteran watching this from the San Antonio public library with 50 other homeless on public computers, passing the day getting out of the rain.
@@saltpeter7429 🙏 thank you, I moved back home to home town Chicago, they support the vets better than military town USA SA. The VA actually helped me.
One of the best Anthrax songs & songs of the Headbangers Ball era. This song always hit home because I’ve always despised homelessness in AMERICA. We have too many resources available to have the unbelievably large homeless population that we have. “WHO CARES WINS”
@@starieyes7390I grew up in the seventies and we had cool shows to watch like midnight special and Don Kirshner's rock concert every Friday night that featured live performances by all the top rock bands and singers at that time and the cool thing was that you didn't need cable because those shows were shown on the local networks but nobody I knew then had cable anyway we were still using an antenna but anyway by the late eighties to early nintie's we had Head Bangers Ball on MTV and for that you needed cable of course and I watched it every Saturday night but by the early nintie's metal began to phase out it wasn't on anymore then MTV started showing crap like alternative nation and that didn't interest me at all seems like anything good never sticks around long lol.
Man. I remember when this first came out. Stuff like this is one of many reasons why Anthrax is one of my all time favorite bands. We need more of the socially aware music of Anthrax these days. More than ever.
I adored this album. This song is great example of what makes them distinct among the "Big Four". There's a grit, a "street-level" quality, a punk directness that none of the other guys have. The overlap is the distinctive sound of thrash, but they've been the most "grass roots" of any of them.
I was homeless from 1996-2004. This song made me cry every time I listened to it because it's the truth. When you're homeless and you have nothing you're not even human to others.
Close your eyes to the horror Close your eyes to the pain When you live in a box No one knows your name Living in the street Moms and kids with nothing to eat Welfare hotels Who says there's no place called hell I can't see you I can't hear you You don't see me You couldn't be me Who cares wins There but for the grace of god There but for the grace of god Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares There but for the grace of god There but for the grace of god.. Go you or I Open your eyes You don't see me You couldn't be me Invisible could be my name Your excuses are so lame Real pleas fall on deaf ears Look away when I'm near Freezing cold in winters heat Burning up can be a teat Blisters breaking on my feet At least I get a subway seat I cant' see you I can't hear you You don't see me You couldn't be me Who cares wins There but for the grace of god There but for the grace of god Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares There but for the grace of god There but for the grace of god... Go you or I Open your eyes You don't see me You couldn't be me Who cares wins Self help and preservation Not now I'm on vacation Priority is you And screw all those around you Now's the time for you to share Indifference you have to care Deep inside you know it's true How do I get through to you Open your eyes to the horror Open your eyes to the pain When you live in a box No one knows your name
Terrific musicianship Joey Belladonna is a outstanding vocalist and the message should be heard loud and clear by everybody in a position of power to help the homeless.
rediscovering this song after many years, I am forced to reflect on some things. I have been homeless twice in my life, but I was fortunate to have resources (personal funds, generous friends, etc), to quickly pull myself out of it. However, many people are not so lucky, and left vulnerable through no fault of their own. So, I challenge anyone listening to this powerful song, and reading this post, to help however you can. If you can donate to charitable organizations, do so. If you can volunteer, do so. If all you can do is to give a homeless person the change in your pocket, do so. It all helps. Remember: WHO CARES WINS.
Also I could be wrong about some of these details but as far as I remember they don't have a bass player - they all play lead and mostly on one string which is why they can play so fast! Any updates on this would be welcome!
Man, I miss those days and Danny Spitz tearing it up. Classic Gold there and always with a message of equality and fairness...let's not forget Indians. They helped shape me!
"Then Phil Collins came out with a song, and it had all these homeless people in it, and that was praised." ~Charlie Benante on how MTV ignored the video.
@@djrebel236 you see the lonely man there on the corner what he's waiting for I don't know but he waits every day now he's just waiting for something to show nobody knows him nobody cares and there's no hiding place there's no hiding place for you and me we just like all the rest excetera excetera excetera LOL I think that's it
Ahead of their time. The homeless problem is unbelievable now, not just in NYC but every major city, and it's not something you really think about until you've either witnessed it or had been a part of it like me.
One, if not THE most important music video ever made. And it's such a great song too. Everytime I hear/see this I think of all the times I almost ended up that way. Thanks Father for not letting that happen to me. There but for the Grace of God!
And until he comes back I am done with ANthrax. In 2004 ANtrax opened for Dio in Pilly and as always for DIo I was front row (I met Ronnie ll the time in Philly)...well I am trans but I am not gay (long story) but Scoot said: "All Paul Stanley fans are gay." Well especially after everything KISS did for them....I made sure I was front row, right-hand side and I wore a beautiful airbrushed Paul shirt...he is my here....Ian looked at me banging his head I yelled at him (read lipe) I popped the Paul shirt at him and said "I AM NOT GAY YOU PIECE OF SHIT." John Bush was DYING laughing during te solo and Ian walked away....asshole.UNtil Spitz comes back they died in 1993 to me.
One of my favourite Anthrax songs. I loved Anthrax, for their funky , funny, leisurely look but dead serious, relevant and thought provoking lyrics. This is a great album.
I had a christian (pagan) preacher tell me in the homeless church i was attending that there will always be poor people, the bible says so. Due 15:4 is a commandment from God, to let there be no poor among you . plain and simple.
Anthrax....one of my true faves...this song is a sad and true reality for way to many.. The biggest tragedy is the number of vets and they all go ignored...if you have any guts then get involved with a homeless ministry/outreach and see for yourselves!!!! You may say oh well it's not one of mine or myself!!! WHAT IF IT IS YOU OR YOURS????
I remembered when this video came out was later banned from MTV because it was "too depressing" and then They aired Phil Collins' "Another day in Paradise" and Anthrax was pissed. Great video and message from an Iconic Trash Metal band.
Amazing album here! Still very relevant today. These guys tried to warn us about poverty & racism. Too bad most people lost the message of most of Anthrax's songs
This song is a true masterpiece, I v listened it for years.. and it still surprises me. The musical composition is just gorgeous, and the lyrics are emotional. 1001 Thumbs up for Anthrax.
I have always thought the particular beats they chose for this song were a brutal decision to pull off. Probably my fave. Charlie was at the peak of his career as well
Man anybody remember HEADBANGERS BALL on MTV , it came on at midnight on Saturday/Sunday morning till 3 am Riki Rachtman was the best host of all the years of HEADBANGERS BALL .
3 days til the Louisville < KY show!! A 3 hour drive, well worth it to take my daughter to her first thrash show!...and my son to see Anthrax and Testament again!
This song/video was my introduction to Anthrax after constantly seeing their t-shirts in Jr. High School. It aired on an mtv show called Hard 30. I think.
Such an awesome tune,I remember when that video came out,one of the coolest and so cool how they were speaking out for the homeless.Always loved Anthrax,such a true band!!!
Rick Animal Taylor Couldn't imagine Slayer doing something like this. Can't imagine Kerry King being particularly sympathetic towards the plight of homelessness tbh.
1988 when I first got into Anthrax when I was 16 years old. This song has stuck with me all these years. In retrospect, Anthrax always had a social conscience and credibility Metallica could never have.

@johnson
Sadly the "system " was setup this way on purpose.
I remember when this video first came out ... I saw it once, then it was taken off the air. Heard it was too real and honest. No kidding.
It was real, NYC homeless rate was out of this world in the 80s!
@@jamesdowdall5490
It's even worse now - at least in LA and the rest of So Cal it is.
It's amazing how this song and Schism are still so relevant today. 32 years and shit hasn't changed. This album still in my top 10
They showed it on Headbangers ball alot

Agree 100% with what you say. It is a punk 'directness', cant find a better way to explain it, within a thrash context. Thank you
I was homeless from 1996-2004. This song made me cry every time I listened to it because it's the truth. When you're homeless and you have nothing you're not even human to others.
Hope, you're doing OK. Greetings to you.
It's absolutely a thrash and lyric anthem.
Close your eyes to the horror
Close your eyes to the pain
When you live in a box
No one knows your name
Living in the street
Moms and kids with nothing to eat
Welfare hotels
Who says there's no place called hell
I can't see you
I can't hear you
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god
Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god..
Go you or I
Open your eyes
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Invisible could be my name
Your excuses are so lame
Real pleas fall on deaf ears
Look away when I'm near
Freezing cold in winters heat
Burning up can be a teat
Blisters breaking on my feet
At least I get a subway seat
I cant' see you
I can't hear you
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god
Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god...
Go you or I
Open your eyes
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins
Self help and preservation
Not now I'm on vacation
Priority is you
And screw all those around you
Now's the time for you to share
Indifference you have to care
Deep inside you know it's true
How do I get through to you
Open your eyes to the horror
Open your eyes to the pain
When you live in a box
No one knows your name
Terrific musicianship Joey Belladonna is a outstanding vocalist and the message should be heard loud and clear by everybody in a position of power to help the homeless.
I agree
Homeless from 18-24 and listened to this first while I was in poverty. Im glad Thrash metal is a place to call home.

This song and album State Of Euphoria realy underestimated
This is a great album but it sounds like crap because of a shitty mixing...
It's my favorite album
@@golfgrabu you heard the 30 yeras edition?
@@golfgrabu Yes your right the original vinyl was really tinny! Then again you could compensate for that with a decent amp!
Also I could be wrong about some of these details but as far as I remember they don't have a bass player - they all play lead and mostly on one string which is why they can play so fast! Any updates on this would be welcome!
The best song,,the best band,,the best line up....
Drum the monster
Them and D.R.I have the best messages about homelessness and the system
This is classic Anthrax. Simply amazing.
Released not long before Phil Collins' "Another Day In Paradise", but this song and video received 1‰ of the attention.
I love this song, the riffs are so chunky and the groove is infectious.
Chunky
Infectious Grooves lol
Man, I miss those days and Danny Spitz tearing it up. Classic Gold there and always with a message of equality and fairness...let's not forget Indians. They helped shape me!
"Then Phil Collins came out with a song, and it had all these homeless people in it, and that was praised."
~Charlie Benante on how MTV ignored the video.
Songfacts Tbf tho Phil did catch a lot of flak for that later on.
Songfacts MTV back then we're a group of coked out idiots whom wanted to see men in mini skirts rather than anyone with a real message.

.. I don't know I guess it's kind of what you get for writing a song hoping to get patted on the back
I haven't seen this for years. Wow ,memories!!!!
Ahead of their time. The homeless problem is unbelievable now, not just in NYC but every major city, and it's not something you really think about until you've either witnessed it or had been a part of it like me.
Hi.
Arguably the best song on State of Euphoria.
One, if not THE most important music video ever made. And it's such a great song too. Everytime I hear/see this I think of all the times I almost ended up that way. Thanks Father for not letting that happen to me. There but for the Grace of God!
I like how Anthrax addresses a lot of social issues
3:40 Danny boy sure knew how to write a solo, perfect blend of feeling and wizardry.
Harry Callahan met him not too long ago, one of the nicest people ever
And until he comes back I am done with ANthrax. In 2004 ANtrax opened for Dio in Pilly and as always for DIo I was front row (I met Ronnie ll the time in Philly)...well I am trans but I am not gay (long story) but Scoot said: "All Paul Stanley fans are gay."

@Metal Fan Totally agree, I lost interest in the band really when Danny left, great player.
Danny was great now he’s a watch maker
One of Dan Spitz' best solos for sure!!!
This by far anthrax at there best! Love that song!
Still listening in 2020 !!!!!! Todays music got nothing on this !!!!!
One of my favourite Anthrax songs. I loved Anthrax, for their funky , funny, leisurely look but dead serious, relevant and thought provoking lyrics. This is a great album.
I've been blaring this album in the car. One of my favorite albums.
I love the Video...my childhood..miss this time real metal
My favorite song from State of Euphoria. Bought this cassette in 1988. Still remains one of my all time favorite albums ever.
NYC has regressed in the last several years to the “Bad Ol’ 80s.” “There but for the grace of God…”
I had a christian (pagan) preacher tell me in the homeless church i was attending that there will always be poor people, the bible says so. Due 15:4 is a commandment from God, to let there be no poor among you . plain and simple.
This album has some really heavy hard hitting songs that really need to be incorporated Into their love setlist
This song was a MAJOR turning point for me in my youth when it first came out to begin living a life seeing and hearing and doing as a result.
Dan Spitz is a beast on guitar!
One underrated fucking album!
Used to watch this on mtv in the morning before going to school!! Miss those days
awesome message. real music
christopher royce I remember mtv barely gave it a chance
First time I ever heard Anthrax was seeing this video on TV in 1989. Been a fan ever since.
I cannot imagine how cool it must have been to see Joey come in at 1:43 for the first time.
That double bass drum in the fade out...
Oh the killer times moshing to all your tunes thinking nothing could touch you
People should support soldiers when they are fighting and when they are back in home
Anthrax....one of my true faves...this song is a sad and true reality for way to many.. The biggest tragedy is the number of vets and they all go ignored...if you have any guts then get involved with a homeless ministry/outreach and see for yourselves!!!! You may say oh well it's not one of mine or myself!!! WHAT IF IT IS YOU OR YOURS????
This is THE underappreciated gem in their catalogue. SOE is a fantastic album and even has one of the best covers in metal.
I remembered when this video came out was later banned from MTV because it was "too depressing" and then They aired Phil Collins' "Another day in Paradise" and Anthrax was pissed. Great video and message from an Iconic Trash Metal band.
This is it, under 10k views and we break 1 million! Anthrax deserves their success, so I'm here every day to help!
Masterpiece. Lyrics, music, melody. Criminally underrated band and album !!!!!
The beginning of this song is amazing!😊
I love their drumming style.
Amazing album here! Still very relevant today. These guys tried to warn us about poverty & racism. Too bad most people lost the message of most of Anthrax's songs

One of the first cassette tapes I purchased back in the day when it debuted.
This is the song that won me over with them!! Happy 40th Anthrax!!
Amazing song amazing band!!
Love this record... Wish it got more love from the band
impresionante, 22 años escuchando este tema y nunca me imaginé que era para los homeless, que grandes que son, que eran y que serán los Anthrax!!
This is educational, the homeless problem is huge everywhere in the world.
5:02 the Trust patch on Joey's jacket
I think that's charlie
Can't to see them in August!!!
Man anybody remember HEADBANGERS BALL on MTV , it came on at midnight on Saturday/Sunday morning till 3 am Riki Rachtman was the best host of all the years of HEADBANGERS BALL .
Dan Spitz's solo belongs on a list of greats.
Absolutely incredible. These talented guys doing a song about something no one wants to even think about. Goddamit won't people listen?!?
3 days til the Louisville < KY show!! A 3 hour drive, well worth it to take my daughter to her first thrash show!...and my son to see Anthrax and Testament again!
The opening riffs and drum fill are awesome.
masterpiece of a track.
My first concert. 89/90 state of euphoria tour nec Birmingham England.
This song/video was my introduction to Anthrax after constantly seeing their t-shirts in Jr. High School. It aired on an mtv show called Hard 30. I think.
This music video introduced me to Anthrax and to heavy metal. I’ve been a huge metal head ever since.
Brings me great memories when I was about 15 and hitting the skateboard hard!!! Great band for extreme sports and training!!!!
This video and this song makes me want to cry because it's all true which is why I love the song. Thank You Anthrax.
This video changed my perception of reality. No kidding
Anthrax have so many great songs, but this song is by far one of my favourite!
Amazing song! Cheers from Coimata, Bolivia!
Is anyone else reminded of Seasons In The Abyss?
Both are great songs, IMO.
Same. But this song came out before Seasons In The Abyss. So shouldn't it be Seasons In The Abyss reminds you of THIS? :)
+Mike Waska Yes, both are great songs, but no, they sound nothing alike.
Enter Sandman is what reminds me most of Seasons in the Abyss.
Mike Waska First two riffs reminds me of Suicidal Tendencies🙂🤘
Yes, the intro riffs are similar. Both great songs
Charlie looks so much better today, guy never lost his youth
Such an awesome tune,I remember when that video came out,one of the coolest and so cool how they were speaking out for the homeless.Always loved Anthrax,such a true band!!!

This video and song still kick ass!!! Even from the 2022 perspective...
So underrated! This should have more then milion views!
Give it one more year, then it'll be close.
Nearly there
now over 1 million!
Nice, after ten years, here we go!
This is a real thrash metal band!!!!!!!. Great video.
1988 when I first got into Anthrax when I was 16 years old. This song has stuck with me all these years. In retrospect, Anthrax always had a social conscience and credibility Metallica could never have.
I don't know about that - "Disposable Heroes" "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" and "And Justice For All" are pretty socially conscious.
... una delle migliori canzoni degli Anthrax ed una denuncia durissima di chi lasciato l'esercito è diventata la "vittima"!!!!
Great Anthrax thanks for this message, i love y guyz, from Italy UP 4 EVER ANTHRAX!!!!!!!
STILL my #1 favorite Anthrax song
I have always had a deep respect for what you tried to do with this song. Living in Anchorage, AK at the time. Race was really diverse. Most homeless were Natives.
This song fuckin preaches it man. Can't get loud enough!
This is 40 years ago. Who cares wins
This world, don’t care, only has gotten worse.
Love this song. Especially when, live.
You don’t hear that tick.
Listen
nice to know some remember 1987
One of my favorites in concert
Yep and always. People are afraid of truth.
Anthrax always reminds me of an old boyhood friend. He was mad into them. I hope he's doing well.
Great band with some whopper tunes.
A very well put together album!
This was filmed in 1988 - now the homeless problem in America is far worse.
Saw them in France on the Sonisphere Festival ... awesome ...
Best 'Thrax record with Joey! A fucking storm of riffs in every song!
@samboy1288
actually, i think we can go in two seperate direction.
megadeth was more about POLITICS.
Anthrax was more about SOCIAL ISSUES
while those two areas do cross over some, they are fairly distinct
