it hits different when you heard this when you were a kid
Jack Valentine literally though
It really does
Deadass thought he said gets you well as a kid
Jack Valentine it does. Especially at the family video store
i used to ask my grandma if i could say hell to sing to this song
When you die, your voice gets added to the crowd singing the chorus in this song.
W ya for sure💀🤦🏻♂️
The greatest honor.
Underrated comment! ;D
why did i get so emotional after reading this?
Yh ...they wont want my voice lmao
Can we take a moment to appreciate how absolutely savage these lyrics are?
I'm more impressed by the acting abilities of this guy
Metalhead here....and honestly I love certain American Rejects songs amongst others. Classics!!!
Same! A good song is a good song, no?
@brad6489 Agreed doesn't matter what genre it is. If it's good then I'll listen to it.
Same brotha same. I listen to black metal and still love all American rejects
Yes I'm a head banger also but love some of this music!
A good song is a good song. I really like All American Rejects, they have some great stuff, It Ends Tonight fucks me up at times. Talent is talent and they're definitely talented.
Damn loded diper has really come so far
Lmfaoo
lol rodrick be boppin
i- lmaoo
BRooooO omg !
Ffs
my anxiety and depression fighting to see who’s gonna ruin my day today
This comment is epic.. 4sure the most underrated comment I've ever seen.. love it. Thanks for the smile
gianna michelle What about the wives? Are they just you’re brain swapping back and forth
Bro im 3 and that's deep
baum
Then they agree they'll both do it together. TEAMWORK!
The year is 2024 still a master piece
He is going to be 40 years old this year too. Let that sink in for a bit.😂
lol im here for it
Saw them at their concert last night at the CZcams Theater in Inglewood, CA. This song went absolutely nuts, I loved that I got to hear and see AAR after so many years🔥🔥🖤🤘🏼
They’re reallllyy good Live 👌🏼
Awesome!! wish i could’ve gone but i live up in San Jose.
We were there too!!!
This song was the most listened song on my pink iPod nano in 2009 😭😭
l a n a the nostalgia ,it relatable
OH MY GOD SAME but I had a little pink ipod shuffle
BRO I- SAME EXACTLY SAME WTH
I was born in 2009 and im still listening
THIS COMMENT MADE ME SO HAPPY OMG
Took me 9 years to realize they’re not singing at each other but at each other’s wives and that’s why they have a feud and also why they seem more happy when they switch at the end (just realized the switch which brought everything together). That’s also why they tried to make the other guy’s life a living hell because in turn everytime their wives saw the other guy’s face it would “give them hell”. Damn I love rewatching music videos.
This is a way better explanation than the guy saying they were gay.
omg that makes sense
omg, your right holy crap xD
This really should be the most upvoted comment
Wait WHAT
IM 28 AND JUST REALIZED
The early 2000s was the best I miss those days
This era of music takes me back to a special place!! Such a great time!! Friends and girls!!!! I wish I could go back 😪 😕 Also the last of MTV doing music and videos!! After being up all night and couldn't sleep it was MTV!!
Some say when you die your voice is added to the chorus.
No, we get added to the black parade
@@benkrajniak9584 it depends on what you listened to last
lmfao
I’m okay with that
"Who are those people in the chorus?" "Oh, just the souls of people cursed to sing the chorus for the rest of eternity"

Lyrics For Me to Sing
I wake up every evenin'
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably workin'
At a nine to five pace
I wonder how bad that tastes
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
Now, where's your picket fence, love?
And where's that shiny car?
And did it ever get you far?
You never seemed so tense, love
I've never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?
And truth be told, I miss you (I miss you)
And truth be told, I'm lyin'
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Tomorrow you'll be thinkin' to yourself
Yeah, where'd it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on
And truth be told, I miss you (I miss you)
And truth be told, I'm lyin'
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell
Now, you'll never see what you've done to me
You can take back your memories, they're no good to me
And here's all your lies, you can look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look that you wear so well
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell)
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell)
When you hear this song and you sing along, but you never tell (but you never tell)
Then you're the fool, I'm just as well, hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell)
When you hear this song, I hope that it will give you hell (hope it gives you hell)
You can sing along, I hope that it puts you through hell

@@Speee_demon If you're referencing the one time he said that on stage, he was actually talking about it ends tonight, somehow a lot of people misunderstood what song he was talking about, but if you look it up again it'll seem a lot clearer. No offense.
@@Speee_demon As far as I know the lyrics are about his being when he would have left the Musicbusiness and started a "bored but save" life.

@@daviszollars3356 I approve your comment ❤
Just2Irie there is some good ones like Twenty One Pilots and Yungblud
Saw them last night at Mardi Gras. It was a dream come true to finally see them live after trying for over 20 years. Something ALWAYS came up so I couldn’t, but I was hellbent on going and it was well worth the wait (even the 11 hours before the concert even began) If you’ve never seen them perform live, you need to rectify that. They’re all so funny, charismatic, and sound incredible.
Anyone watching in 2079!!

The year is 2023 and this song still gives me a hell of a smile. This is definitely a feel good song.

The last time I heard this song I was in high school. Now I’m almost 30 and out of nowhere the song just popped into my head and well here I am.
I guess the music of our youth stays with us all our lives.
Same.. I completely forgot this song existed until the video came up randomly on tv. Then nostalgia hit 😢
Song is definitely helping me get over my toxic ass ex and her cheating lmao
I know exactly how you feel I came back to this song when I got cheated on
Brothers in arms haha
“Tyson what’s wrong”
“The neighbors are playing the guitar on their lawn mower again”

I see you guys aren’t the only ones who came back to this song. Was it a normal song you listen to or a 1 am nostalgia crash? BTW nice knowing this band is still getting listened to. I just came here from Blink 182 and some Sublime.
I never wished I had a riding lawnmower more than I do now.
I got to say that is my favorite part of the video.
Here i am
This song brings back so many memories. When my son started pre-k this was one of his favorite songs and we found out that his pre-k teacher was the mom of the drummer. Now my son is 17 and he's a senior this year.
That's so badass!
Lol mom?
Sick!
🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢 That’s hella cap

From being a kid, to being 22, this song hits different but goes just as hard😭
strangely I am now 27 but it still hits me the way as it hit me as a kid :D although I >know< it might have a different meaning as I thought as a kid xd
but I still >feel< it as I felt it as a kid 15 years ago :D and I think its 10x funnier this way :D
@windyway2424 some music, some songs are just timeless :)
used to sing along with a smile when highschool, now I'm divorced so I'm rocking to this with a grin

Such a cool song! This has me thiking about my life when I was young compared to now. I've settled into a 9-5 job and playing it safe. This song is like an older version of me having a conversation with myself about the free days. So much better, but so much worse. "Truth be told I miss you, but truth be told I'm lying." Gives me hell looking at myself back in the day from this time period. Just makes perfect sense.
Okay but as a fish enthusiast i can say that that tank at the very beginning is very well looking. Not overcrowded, not too small for a couple gupps or a betta. And even some live plants!

This was a jam before I listened to the words, but now that I listen to the words it’s absolutely even more of a jam. You just have to love the pettiness.
Seeing the video is the cherry on top- not even a breakup song, just petty neighbors
the pettiness is everything

@@domesticcat1725 Yep
In the story being told here, both men are the same person showing how he could have lived his life in 2 separate paths of life BUT, what I believe is overlooked is that this SONG is about the WOMAN - specifically the "prim and proper" woman, as SHE, is the focal point of the SONG. (I emphasis "song" bc the "video" is extending the story in the "song.")
It seems to me that she (the prim and proper woman) left him because the "rock and roll" lifestyle was too hard and they were likely poor, so she left him and traded that life for a "9-5" man - more stable, predictable, and perhaps - boring. If you listen to the lyrics, he appears to be asking her "how's that 9-5 pace going for you?" - and meanwhile, it seems that he (the Rocker) has now found fame and possibly fortune - so the pace of a Rockstar life, but now famous and rich.
So he's basically taunting her, yet at the same time he's still hurting/grieving the LOSS of her - as he clearly still loves her, but: he openly taunts her to the point that he says: when you see my face hope it gives you Hell (meaning, look at me now: famous, successful, rich - I want you to see what you threw away - and I hope it gives you Hell).
Now The VIDEO extends the story of the song by spinning up a variant version of himself and his life. In one path of life, he quits the band, gets a job, and let's Corp America turn him into a pencil neck - but in the other path of life, he stays true to his dream of being a Rockstar and hits it big - so the video shows these two worlds or paths come right up along side of each other on a parallel path where they can see each other.
The TWIST of the video is that BOTH versions of himself in both alternate life paths are PROUD of who they have become. The Rockstar is proud and so is the 9 to 5 version of himself!!
As a result, they taunt each about how great they are, BUT - something is still NOT right???
This is the masterful part of how the writers pull the music vid and the song together; as I said, BOTH are proud, but something is still missing and they figure it out: It's the lost love - the WOMAN....so they switch - meaning they both get the love of their lives back - and it balances both scenarios; the Rocker gets the more conservative lost love and the 9-5 man gets his lost love back - the Rock & Roll girl.
If you notice at the end, the 9-5 version of himself is ripping up the mic now and the Rocker version is jumping into bed to rev up the prim and proper lost love. Both versions of himself and both WOMEN have found peace in balance.
This is a brilliant music video. It's funny, serious, reflective, deep, and shallow - I guess you could say it "found balance."
Great explanation
M.A M Thanks..
"Perfectly balanced - as all things should be."
Sorry, I couldn't resist, also your explanation is great.
