    Sleep on pillows made in Singapore
    Wrapped in comforters
    Sweating through sheets
    Drinking coffee in the morning
    Floating on Airplanes across the vast seas
    And your house is made of wood
    Central air, central heat
    You got your furniture of particle board
    Your doors are locked for, for safety
    And you walk in leather shoes
    Pants of denim, a black cotton sweatshirt
    And you do what you do
    because doing can start to form a habit
    And you drink all night long
    And you sleep through the morning
    And if something doesn't break
    I'm just gonna go, go fucking insane
    And you sweep up the floor when it's dirty
    You do the dishes, when the sink's full
    And when the refrigerator's empty
    well it's time, it's time, it's time, it's time to go the store
    You put your books on a shelf
    Clothes arranged in the closet
    You hang the things on the wall that you don't wanna be so easily forgotten
    I hate these songs
    I hate the words
    That the singer is singing to me
    I hate this melody
    I hate this stupid fucking drum beat
    But I'm not gonna tell anyone
    What I'm really thinking about
    Keep them conversations on the surface
    Just keep on smiling
    Just keep on saying
    Everything's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright [x2]
    Alright [x11]

      One of my favorite songs ever in life. As a musician and a fan. Because these lyrics are facts of life. And I feel it now more than ever and I been a fan for over 17 years.

    this song is just massive, with the energy it puts out there, the desperation of the lyrics and the duel of the guitars; it's just incredible, and i can do nothing but bask in its glory and cower before it.

    This started off as a reply but I’m posting as a comment. The problem with these labels society dishes out are that you dare not deviate from what others perceive you to be, lest you be criticized and condemned. Fuck that. To me, punk isn’t a look. It’s a feeling. It’s not a physical style as much as it is an internal state of being.
    Punk is: this is me. Take it or leave it. Sell outs are the ones that are fixated on image. They care more about what people see as opposed to what they put out. Punk is ever evolving and rarely what anyone in the public eye believes it to be. Anyone can dress the part, but it takes a certain type of person to truly be a punk. I mean really, what the fuck would punk be if it stayed the same as it did in its early days? Punk changes as society and the world we live in changes.
    Thank you Laura Jane Grace for being you. Thank you for being yourself and for opening yourself up in an attempt to connect with those that see and feel your value. I doubt you will ever see this, but your eyes can see what so many others try to ignore and even hide. You are a beautiful woman and an intelligent soul with so much insight and wisdom to put out into the world around you. Keep kicking ass, rocking out, and being who you are because we need people just like you in this life. Too many people are fakes.

    Why would anyone call AM! sellouts? This is what happens to good bands, they start to make money. They start to polish and hone their sound. The more people that listen to this the better. Then maybe we'd not have so much Justin Beiber and that kinda B-S.

  • @cookiethewaitress
    @cookiethewaitress 16 років тому +5

    This is a beautiful depiction and discription of what happens when you're only going through the motions, when the things that should matter don't, and what causes those little reckless desires we all have at some point just for an interruption of the monotonous experience.

  • @crw2573
    @crw2573 15 років тому +1

    As far as the selling out goes...I would never have heard of Against Me! or Tom Gabel in Pittsburgh, PA had they not done something "wrong." I'll take what I can get. If you prefer the folk rock, listen to that, if you prefer the old stuff, listen to that. I like it all, I will continue to listen to what sounds sweet to me.

  • @inkstee
    @inkstee 15 років тому

    probably because some producer was like 'why is your voice so raspy...what the hell is wrong with you?'
    some people keep complaining about the band changing/selling out. the reality is that they didn't change, they just want more people to hear them, and in order to make that happen, they had to make some compromises, which included allowing other people to have more command over the way their music sounds. its a tough trade to make, but they still don't care much about money.

    I have never understood why these guys get coined "sell out" more than any other band....ever. So, they signed to a major, their music hasent changed, their idealism hasent changed, their lyrics haven't changed just because they are on a major. I'm tired of these "punk" kids, who most are living off their parents dime telling people that a band isn't punk because they are trying to make money. Against Me! Haven't changed because they are on a major, fuck, they haven't changed at all.

    Indeed, this is the area where I think the European countries have right. Unlike in the Americas, the Europeans stand up for what they believe and the government is afraid of their people. While in America, it's the people being in fear of the government. It should be the opposite, we're living in our respective countries and we, the people, should be governing what goes on politically.

  • @Ded5833
    @Ded5833 15 років тому

    Oh, wow, thanks. To be brutally honest it isn't too hard to do.
    And Kaybeecee, I don't know what you're smoking, but countries in Europe, especially France and that nearby area, protest a lot of stuff they don't like. They aren't sheep if they stand up for what they think is right and they are definitely not sheep of the govenment if they government is scared of the population. They are democratic, a lot more democratic than most countries.

  • @catsboyscandy
    @catsboyscandy 16 років тому

    I have to admit, I like their new music, but I do have the feeling that they sort of are growing away from their views. I am not saying this because they signed to a major label, and I am not part of any punk scene, because there isn't a single scene that would accept me anyway. Perhaps they are still true to their views, but it doesn't seem to be expressed that way. I mean, they used to be anarchist, and clearly, they are no longer. I am not an anarchist, but I believe in being loyal.

  • @backwindow
    @backwindow 16 років тому

    look, I have been in the business for quite some time, these days, saying the band is a sell out is just another trend, you can fight and argue all you want, but face it, its no different than a fashion trend, maybe they did sign a record label, you would too if someone flashed a couple hundred grand in your face.. anyone would, don't even try to disagree, all these kids are posers that follow what others say, as if they need to fit in, against me is unique, and you cannot argue with that.

  • @diabeticvagina
    @diabeticvagina 16 років тому

    ok sure, they make alot of money now THATS why I said they sold out! You clearly dont even know what their old music was about if you like the new wave, they were anarcho punks, they didnt give a shit about the mainstream music and thats what they sang about! "and when it came time to throw bricks threw that starbucks window, you left me all alone!" thats good music, music that has meaning and that has passion! NOw its all about the money thats why it sucks!

  • @itisscientific
    @itisscientific 16 років тому

    i agree. my opinion of selling out is a situation like this: you listen to a CD and it's NOTHING like their old stuff. the music and lryics suck now, like it took them 2 minutes to write the song. if the effort is still put into the music, they haven't sold out. so i don't think green day has sold out either, because the american idiot album amazing. it took them years to put that together. they're still loyal to their fans.

  • @RobRedbeard23
    @RobRedbeard23 14 років тому

    In my opinion he's talking about modernity, monotony, and the search for meaning in life where we find ourselves so nicely pampered -- to death. I also think the criticisms he describes are a self-sketch. They seem intentionally directed inward -- not so much outward at all. In a sense, it's "fight club -- the song."

  • @PunkSkaOi
    @PunkSkaOi 16 років тому

    How am I proving your point? I provided a reasonable argument as to why they deserve criticism, and I'm not Mr. Scene spokesman. Their music now is obviously lacking something their old music had. I'm not denying they're no longer talented, but they have DRASTICALLY changed their sound, and in a bad way.

  • @monosynthluv
    @monosynthluv 17 років тому

    But they did tame their message. Not in song, but in action of their careers. I really wouldn't care if it wasnt for the fact that they sing songs and built a reputation completely against all the things they are doing now. Fucking playing festivals that are sponsored by sweatshop clothing and soda companies. you can't escape the hypocrisy

  • @lildudeonthestreet
    @lildudeonthestreet 16 років тому

  • @gillyguy778

    no, that isn't what it is. It is sad when a band builds its reputation on being truly independant and anti-capitalist, and even writes songs about these subjects, then turns around and signed to a universal/emi owned label then plays the Pepsi Smash festival.

  • @Messenger33
    @Messenger33 17 років тому

    Is signing to a major label "selling out" or is that just what whiney kids say whenever their favorite indie band goes mainstream and finds more success? As long as they don't tame their message or censor themselves they haven't sold out.

  • @ToxicRespirator9
    @ToxicRespirator9 17 років тому

    stealing the album pretty much just rips off the band, because before they make any money from it, they have to pay back the label, and then the rest of the money is theirs..... so you are stealing their profit.
