- Dear mother,
This is just survival.
Cannot promise your children everything,
But you would lie so they can sleep tonight.
Defeat tasted nothing like you said.
Still 22 days left till the end of the world.
My legacy was making you a man
For a justice I could not change.
This is one voice not to forget;
"Fight every fight like you can win;
An iron fisted champion,
An iron willed fuck up."
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?
Why death is easier than living?
You can be almost anything
When you're on your fucking knees.
Not today,
Not my son,
Not my family,
Not while walking is still honest,
And you haven't given up on me.
Dear shithead,
This isn't happening;
The sky is really falling,
The paint's all made of lead,
There's asbestos in the walls,
Hell's come over to rip off the doors
To your priveleged heaven.
Do you want to love and feel it?
You can look but you can't taste it.
You can reach but you'll never have it.
We are untouchable;
Untouchable is something to be.
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?
Why death is easier than living?
You can be almost anything
When you're on your fucking knees.
Not today,
Not my son,
Not my family,
Not while walking is still honest,
And you haven't given up on me,
And you haven't given up on me,
And you haven't forgotten me... - Hudba

A decade since I posted this and this song still hits hard 💪
They played in my friends garage 20 years ago. Their drums were pots and pans
It's crazy how much I listened to this song over the years such a gem
Literally weeping as i listen to this. They were one of my first live shows and i miss these days so much
Against Me! wrote my life’s soundtrack with this one.
An against me fan since I was 13 in 2003! Thanks for posting this! Still gives me chills to this day!
Been rocking this for 17 years and I still love it. I'm from Gainesville area and I remember seeing them right after they put out "as the eternal cowboy." Still one of my favorite shows in memory.
against me shows back in the day were unmatched.
I went to school with Jane and was there when she started in Naples Florida! Was an amazing awesome time to watch them play with nothing to be honest! Shit Kevin Mahon played on 5 gallon buckets! Jane would be on acoustic playing her heart out! Wish I knew at the time what was happening! Wish them the best
Is it appropriate to say Jane or Tom?... Based on time relativity.
For someone that ended up coming out as a trans woman, this song has been my mantra in all things masculine.
So...I thank a woman for writing my manly manifesto
Salute Laura Jane Grace
Matt Wretched
Yes a woman, you fucking pig.
@@badsocks756 no diss but Laura didnt write this song, it's a cover.. ...
@@brianwright5521
A cover of whom? I can find no references to any other artist for this song.
@@brianwright5521 its not a cover
Not a cover, and no, not a woman.
I hope that all of Against me!'s fans are like me and you. I am here for them. No matter what happens I support them as people. They, through their music have supported me, so I could never turn my back on them. As a group or individuals I am here for them. I hope that the rest of their fans feel the same.
I've been walking 3 miles a week at minimum for over the last 6 years. In one year I travelled the distance between Delaware to Alaska and it is still honest.
Saw them last night live for the first time, amazing. Ears are still ringing. This song and everything else they do sounds awesome live. Truly talented guys.
Putting my heart out on the table here, but damn! This song still makes me cry...
+swedlink420 I don't think an anonymous confession of a somewhat embarrassing youtube comment is equivalent to laying your heart on a table.
Maybe not to you...
Well no, not at all..."Putting your heart on the table" means to be vulnerable. You're not vulnerable at all... At least not from this.
me too man
“This is one voice not to forget.” I first heard this song from Against Me! on a random mix cd almost 20 years ago. And this band changed my life. Brilliant lyrics, incredible music. Thank you💯
what a song... i miss this guys from my teenage years.
Against me! Was one of the first bands I listened to, always great on the way to the skate park
crime as forgiven by is against me's best EP
I won't be on my knees while walking is still honest.
One of my favorite songs of all time. And I've heard A LOT of songs.
Honestly I have yet to find a song of this band that I don't like, Against Me! rocks!
yeah they did.
+mike hunt *do
no i said it right.
everything from searching for a former of clarity on isn't the same or as good, and fuck that don't lose touch bullshit.
you can all keep that bullshit.
Soon to be one of the greatest female singer/songwriters.
the lyrics man, these god damn lyrics..... feels bro.
fuck you
Wonderful lyrics ! And Can't believe how nice is his voice.
It's amazing to me that the album version of this clocks in at more than three minutes long
You can feel most _ANYTHING_ when you're on your fucking knees.
This song is awesome :)
I'm with ya, buddy. It's amazing.
Music is forever
I could never hate Against me! they brought me up roughly but surely to be something else (good or bad, doesn't matter..) I wouldn't have been. But the music I was a teenage anarchist, breaks my heart :'/
3SkatingLibras i feel you, remembering youth feels weird
***** Then I choose it was a good thing, they inspired me to see beauty in odd places, with rough voices and bold lyrics (when I say bold, you know I'm not talking about "move bitch get out the way" type of bold.). I was trying to say that the depiction of being so over what he was when he meant so much to me, it's just a bit.. kinda... devastating.
3SkatingLibras
God, that song is terrible (teenage anarchist)...fuck!!!
@@kyvss I can really relate. I grew up with Against Me! in my teenage years, they were and are my fave band of all time, and their message meant so much to me too. I can understand looking back at your teenage years as angsty, mad at the world, and maybe having politics that aren't fully developed. But to just dismiss it ALL as teenage angst and naivety? At least that's what I get from the song. Personally my politics haven't changed a ton since I was young; they are much more developed and informed lol, but I still hold onto those basic values I did back then.
So yeah... Def disheartening.
its weird this is the first time in a while im listening to this song and before i saw your comment i was thinking the same thing it must blow not being able to feel like he can speak out about what hes going through
"I wrote the song just after moving out of my Mom's. I was realizing that a lot of things she had warned me about in life where in fact true."
-Tom Gabel
Who's Tom?
@@scarletstarlet773 the singer of the band
@@scarletstarlet773 Laura's deadname
I have the lp...
I also remember being the first song i put on a ipod haha
it is easier for a rich person to pass into the kingdom of God than it is to thread a candle through the eye of a needle. Jesus
Frank Pierce
Yeop...
"You dont get to take all that fucking blood money with you into heaven. So whats the point?"
-Jesus "fucking" Christos
And iron fisted champion, and iron willed fuck up. Fuck that's too good.
To me it means you can be ALMOST anything on your knees , but you can't be free.
Baretta Love from Berlin got "this" old against me vibe....
listening to them before anyone knew who they were was cool but the message being spread to the masses is more important.
How have AM lost their honesty and morals? They're still the same band they were when they formed back in '97. None of the members have changed their philosophies, they've simply grown up and matured and its about time you did the same.
Remember when Against Me! was the best band in the world?
against me songs are the best to learn chords from, and you won't get bored as fuck of learning to play the guitar. cause i know the only reason i never picked it up before was cause i wasn't about to play fucking twinkle twinkle little star and mary a had a little lamb.
Still a favorite in 2017.
2021
the sky is really falling
The paint's all made of lead
The chorus is what makes this song.
Toon Lloyd
Idk both verses are super powerful too... Maybe moreso lyrically
Someone is going to respond to this and say "WAS?!". I can't wait...
Was?
MY THEME SONG I WALK FUCKING EVERYWHERE BUT WHATEVES KEEPS ME HEALTHY & ALLOWS ME TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON AROUND ME I THANK GOD FOR THAT B-)
GOD THEY WERE SO FUCKING GOOD. i was 15 when i first heard them and they blew my mind i got goosebumps. they got me through those tough years of youth. searching for a former clarity was the death of against me! i knew theyd never be the same and theyve become a love i dont recognize. i pretend like they dont exist anymore and love them for what they were, my favorite band of all time.
think about what you say, how about that knob
it is just survival somtimes
Lol brian! I didnt pursue music cause of that as well.
what does "walking is still honest" mean? I understand all the lyrics except this part.
they explained it a bit ago now. Walking is still honest is about how with all the shitty things everyone does in their lives, it sometimes feels like the only thing we still do that's honest is just walking.
:(
you cant pay for food with integrity.....
No one worked as hard as me 🥃☠️🙃
somebody said morals wtf brah
this song is fucking ace. one of my faves ever.
this is one of my songs watch?v=X84iEfkR8is ............ its a song!
can anyone tell me why god won't speak to me, why jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas? why death is easier than living
this version is infinitely better than the reinventing axl rose version
@OpakeArawra2 agreed. I was SO PISSED when I heard "I was a teenage anarchist" Wtf dude. I respect Warren for leaving now.
one dislike, show me another that has this ratio.
@CodyAllenmusic Dude it's about the movement, not the theory. Read Tom's twitter, or listen to one by one as well.
Last credible and marginal album was axl rose ... and even that was “rock” how long ago was that? There are some that really believed I your message ... then I guess money changed everything ...
right... get over it, enjoy music!
hey guys, remember when this band had integrity? ya those were the good days..
You mean "Hey guys, remember when they did the things I approved of?" Get over yourself, dude.
i have always loved this song. I feel a different pain now. I wish that Tom never had to deal with what he is going through. I am angry that liberal media has attached him to the gay marriage movement. i am upset knowing that Tom has been dealing with this all this time and he hasn't come to his fans for support. We are here and I support him no matter what has happened. I feel that anyone in the band can come to use with their problems and we can support them. We are here.Everything will be ok.
k, now gtfo
I like the song, but the verse lyrics are kind of stupid.
