For all you people out there that are like, "OH, this song sucks! It's about giving to people that won't get off their lazy asses!" No, it's not. It's about the people who are just dealt a bad hand in life. Like the girl that gets pregnant; then has her boyfriend leave her. Alright, if that ever happens to some of you pro-life people (getting pregnant; then having no one there to support you), have fun. Pro-life sounds great in campaigns and Utopias, but the world ain't perfect folks. Also, for you people are like, "That bum should just get a job!" This bum ain't a crack smokin', inf your face bum. He's a war veteran, a underprivileged, ghetto child, the people that were never given a chance or no longer have a chance. It even says, "He asks for his spare change with shame in his eyes." This isn't a bum that is tryin' to skid by in life. He is trying to survive! And then, the best is the last verse about the gangster. Some of you may think, "Oh, he's just supporting being a gangster." No, he's talking about the family who gets the short end of their husband/son/etc being a gangster! Anyone that doesn't like this song is an ignorant prick that doesn't understand English. And, by the way, I'm a republican too so f**k you Right-Wings that call me some peace lovin' hippy. never a song more true | Reviewer: Carlee. | 2/2/08 No matter where you come from in life, and no matter what you have, or what you don't, this song is amazing. I'm sure everyone can relate to anyone of those verses, whether through personal experience or through friend or things we have seen. I love this song. I have a very close friend who had to 'wake up to hear the news.' Twice. Just thinking how that must feel about brings me to tears even now. You'll never know how much it hurts till you are in that situation. There is no room, no right, to judge someone. You can never say with certainty that you wouldn't do the same thing if you were faced with the same situation - if you walked a mile in their shoes. Just listen to the words. It's an amazing song! Powerful | Reviewer: Kathy | 1/31/08 I love this song, "They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore. God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes. Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose" such truth it never fails to get to me. peace corps comment | Reviewer: kak2v | 1/10/08 yes to the person who prays to 'God' every morning--any god you claim left this place a LONG time ago. and people only stay in the peace corps long enough to realize they aren't doing a damn bit of good. So, go to college and get involved in politics, or just make a lot of money to give towards these peoples' situation(s). . . THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HELP. Hmmmmm | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/8/08 i seem to have a lack of care for everyones little story. good song. go do something, not type to random OTHER losers. ^ This is what someone this song talks against would say. I say great input! Totally True. | Reviewer: Ryan | 12/22/07 People these days rush by in their lives not paying attention. I remember as a kid my family functions would last until midnight sometimes one in the morning. Now they usually last until 7 or 8 at night. It's like they're too busy to actually sit down and enjoy family. I wish life was the way it was whenI was little. I had an accident on the freeway where the hood of my grandmas car wasn't all the way latched down and the force of the wind threw the windsheild at the front window bending the hood over the car. I pulled over as soon as I could and NO ONE pulled over to see if I was okay. A California Highway Patrol passed right by me not even stopping. People are too busy to stop and help these days it's pathetic. They just want to mind their own business. Not get involed. How are you suppose to make a difference in people's lives if you DON'T get involed. Think about it next time you see someone needing help. Much Love <3 amazing | Reviewer: casey | 12/6/07 this has always been my favorite song since i was a kid. this might be the best song ever... i listen to it wen i have a bad day but most of the time i listen to it every day i love it so much. well done, Everlast. Wow | Reviewer: Danielle | 11/30/07 The strangest thing happened to me today. I'm a senior in high school and one of my teachers' husbands came to class today to talk about AIDS in honor of World AIDS Day, which is actually tomorrow (December 1). We viewed a video taken by a college student who went to Kenya and ended up interviewing those who lived in one of the biggest slums down there. The video really moved many of us...there were "rivers" of excrements running down the "streets"(dirt paths about 5 feet wide between the shacks that people lived in). There were mothers who, desperate for money, became prostitutes to feed their children. These women are sleeping with 1,000 men per year, only 30% of whom agree to wear a condom, in order to feed their children--there's no other way for them. There is no form of government in these slums, the biggest of which houses over one million people. Watching the video, you could almost smell the stench coming from the place. We, being human, tend to think "well, just stop having sex" because that's how AIDS is most commonly spread. But for many of these people, sex is the only pleasure they can derive from life in the conditions in which they live. Women will not let their children waste away, starving, if they can get money for food by selling themselves. This movie was so moving; it really opened our eyes and made most of us realize how incredibly fortunate we are and how we need to DO something. I could go on forever but I need to finish my story. Tonight my friend and I went to a movie. You know, the typical American thing: mall, ice cream, IMAX 3-D movie with popcorn in big comfy seats. After I'd dropped my friend off at her house and was heading home, I started flipping through radio stations because we'd been listening to some pretty crappy music (I'd let her pick the station...big mistake). All night I had been kind of subconciously noticing the overwhelming, saddening wealth and fortune of our country...Taco Bell, ice cream, a mall, a car, a movie theater, popcorn...stoplights....a highway...worrying about being "fat" because we have so much food...radio stations. I have got to tell you, the radio stations really have to STOP PLAYING SO MANY COMMERCIALS because I flipped through all the channels twice before I found a station that was playing music. And the music it was playing was this song. And this was the first time I actually listened to the words. Seriously? I got goosebumps. Of all the stations, the only channel playing music was playing this song, and it was almost as if someone were waiting for me to flip to exactly that channel. This song is what I had been feeling all day...my feelings put into a work of art. This morning, before any of this happened, I prayed that God would help me make a difference in someone's life today...it's what I try to pray for every day. This was God's way of kicking me in the ass and shouting "WHY ARE YOU SITTING AROUND DOING NOTHING?! GET OUT THERE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!" I've been trying to decide if I want to participate in Peace Corp or try to integrate extended missions trips into my schedule over the next few years, and I'll tell ya...this song made me realize that there is no way I CAN'T. In other words, I freakin adore this song and am in awe of it and the circumstanses I found it under. I've found a new favorite song. :) --Much Love it's more powerful than it appears | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/21/07 these lyrics: "God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose", it really made me remember the time i was waken in the early morning to find out my uncle was dead[him and i were very close].it's a really powerful verse. :,( | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/13/07 my ex told me to listen to this song and it breaks my heart to hear it Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5
