I cannot believe it has been ten years since the first time I heard this and it still sounds absolutely AMAZING!!!

[@MaxxwellTheLegend]

a song I come back to 15 years later, thank you ✊🏻

[@markwyman6753]

I like that his volume is polite enough that people are calmly standing that close taking it in~

[@turbonbc]

10 years ago he planted seeds most people were still asleep but they sprouted because he was speaking the truth!

2018 still one of the best songs there is :)

[@duceanima2069]

I remember when I came across him I think it was 2006 on Woodstock, he melted my heart and soul and I still get teary when i listen to him now. I can relate to this song (him) soo much it never sops to amaze me.

[@oskarjonsson1628]

I dont think anyone underates it tho, and he always plays it live! everyone sang it and went mad when he performed it for us

[@jaylight5147]

First song i ever heard by him! And always a favorite.. It changed the way i look at music

[@justlivingthedreamudig6583]

I may be part of the system But if I could rule this land The rules would be different But I am just one man !!!! Awesome Dub FX!!!

[@Kaoji]

For all the things I've gained in my time alive from the invention of the internet, nothing has had as big an impact on my life or my outlook as the discovery of Dub FX. I still find myself watching these videos almost daily even after having found them a year ago, and I know somehow they will never lose their significance to me as a musician, but more so as a human being. In a world of Britneys and Biebers, Dub FX proves real music still exists. I found hope in us from him.

[@thedasvitania]

One of the most mind-blowing song ever. Awesome performance, this version is pure gold.

[@lookuh3628]

It's because he's so passionate about his music he goes down on his knees for it...

[@tyrannde6392]

Humanity is conformity Conformity is society Society is this reality The faces that saw me And the angles that warned me They told me to run And dispose of the gun I could have escaped Be gone with no trace Instead I just stayed Within societies gates Cos I can run but I can't hide And I must justify The way I live my life Until the day I die I live within these gates I cannot go against So I must see it through There's nothing left to do They said I was crazy And they called me a fool But words cannot change me And my respect for the rules I may be part of the system But if I could rule this land The rules would be different But I am just one man So I wish I was under a tree Far away from society Where the only truth in me Is the soothing sound of my own entity? While my other voice is free It expresses words of plea To return to a stable form of reality But I'm inside of that tree That tree is inside of another tree The perplexity is infinity So I will just chill with a spliff I can run but I can't hide

15 years later, still as heartbreaking but at the same time invigorating as it ever was... I was here back in 2009, I saw you live in 2016 in my hometown (Kraków) and I just rediscovered you anew. Thank you for verbalizing my soul. I'd share a spliff with you any day, Ben. This is a goosebumps inducing protest-song of my generation: eyes-wide-open kids of the 80's 💪

[@Mawlifestyle]

I can feel the anger and pain in his heart to the world we live in; that turns to a real Dub Effects and a great song! such an inspiration to humanity. props to Dub Fx! and the one who filmed!

[@fusion01wp]

after decades of dub and reggae, hip hop, drum and bass and electronic music, this is most appreciated! Raw to the core Mr Dub FX!!! Boooyaaaa!!!!

[@deatheffect575]

Always nice to come back. Hope. Inspiration.

[@weezerpownsyou]

music made not to please the masses, but to be discovered by people looking for something from the heart and soul. thank you dub fx.

[@Roger_Cheeto]

He is SO talented. I would love to meet him one day, just to know who he is and have the privelege to say I MET him. I'm glad he's not really mainstream, too. Once a band/singer gets mainstream, it gets played too much, it gets too much attention. Ever notice how non-mainstream bands/songs/singers always seem better before they get major recognition? o.o
