White Crosses- Against Me! LYRICS ON SCREEN

[@Steve44489]

I don't get why everyone thinks this band sold out because that just isn't true they grew up. It's called evolving and if bands don't evolve they're not real they're machines. I still respect these and love the album. this is true punk

[@Chezmite]

Honestly I adore this band and I love how their sound has developed and they've carried on writing songs that they believe the message to.

[@GreatAether58]

i love against me! they're amazing, regardless of whether you're talking about the old or new it doesn't matter. its all still awesome. saw them live for my 3rd time last night, and it was sick, they put on fantastic shows :D

[@mrguywhowatches]

Every lyric to every one of there songs represents everything it takes to truly be "Punk"

[@mtrainnsmaine]

love the anguish about a polarized topic and the intelligent expression of that. Didn't know of this band before hearing this song..I'm surprised at the negative comments regarding selling out

[@UncleWiggy252]

Oh wow. My stepdaughter just called from Connecticut & told us about youse guys. Very cool. Love it, really. I ride my bike in from Masters Drive every day down to my job on Riberia Street. I can relate, feels just like home. p.s...I'm 63.

[@horrormovie100]

The chorus makes me wanna JUMP

[@zana16sioyx]

@oldspice2625 Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!! You said it RIGHT!!! I discovered this band just before a month !!! And I was surprised and very happy that I found them!!! They are great!!! Love and Music from Saloniki, Greece!!!

[@kerilemonshark8347]

That is something you just don't get when you are younger. At 27 I totally get what you are saying but in highschool I may not have.

[@joliverius1217]

This song is 5000000000000 times better live

[@thespaceman48]

@Steve44489 i just saw them saturday night, in lowell. amazing set

[@kap2426]

To everyone who keeps complaining about how Against Me! sold out and aren't real musicians anymore and sadface ohno their music is different, good luck finding any band (or person) ever that isn't going to change with time. I actually think a big part of Against Me!'s change stems from them realizing that it isn't worthwhile to try to subscribe to some sort of elitist group beliefs (anarchism being one)

[@jezmez68]

Aw, Dang it! I thought there might be more pictures to match up to some of the references. Like pictures of tourist bars, shots of San Marco Avenue, and is there some kind of event where they shoot the cannon in the water? A military base?

[@skylarwilson7584]

Jesse Trent It is from the Castillo de San Marcos (pictured) every day twice a day they set off cannons as a historical reenactment! It can be heard within a few miles in every direction

[@Steve44489]

I'm going to see them in march with the Dropkick Murphys in March i cant freaking wait

[@ColdWarKid86]

@nikel3161 I've seen them twice... They are truly amazing live. The best band I've ever seen live.

[@hmthemovie90]

so last night my parents told me what this song is about.. and i love this is even better now that ik what it is about

[@GreatAether58]

@Steve44489 seeing them live is amazing! i saw them for my 3rd time last night, and they've always been awesome! :D

[@breannenyquist]

i totally agreee!!!

[@anjustice83]

Can someone please explain and validate the whole "They've just grown up" argument cause I'm afraid I don't get how anyone could say that about Against Me! The sound has changed...drastically, whether that's good or bad is a matter of perception I suppose. However, you can't listen to a song like 'ya'll don't wanna step to dis'...the dept to the lyrics and the issues Tom is singing about and honestly believe that White crosses is more mature and grown up than that...not possible sorry!

[@CodVids22345]

@FrankietheMute please dont ever say that band in the same line as green day,but i agree completely

[@TippmannAlphaCinqo]

i have no idea what the lyrics represent. i only know the chorus .. the song is just soo damn catchy

[@aaronlewis11]

i agree. they are classified as pop punk. i love against me listening for years but bands do have to grow. i like how they evolved and all albums dont sound the same. they all have something different. i really dont like teenage anarchist thought, that shit is 2 mainstream and when did true punk go mainstream?

[@scurlcube]

@Steve44489 agreed, well said...ha i wish warren were still with them tho

[@drvonfrie]

@Steve44489 finally someone fucking gets it!

[@MrRazersharpe]

The chorus is catchy as fuck :P

[@Steve44489]

@DeflocculatedDentist I have EVERY against me album out there and i love them all. Do yourself a favor and listen to the whole album because i have a feeling u didn't

[@roccmuzik13]

@ColdWarKid86 same

[@axlesyple6485]

I thought that said rise against. You almost got falcon punched

[@Steve44489]

@thespaceman48 yea they both but on a good fuckin show

[@mikeyb369]

Wow people just need to let the band make music and if ya dont like their new shit then dont listen to it. Their old stuff is great and leave it at that. Every band goes through a phase where its new stuff isnt as good as the old stuff but hey thats life. Against me is a bad ass band. I like it all. Old stuff and New stuff. Why do people have to get all butt burt over nothing? Just relax and relax listening to good music.

[@Steve44489]

@nikel3161 hey me too

[@DarkKnight-hr3gw]

there 1:40

[@punkcasualtiesxx]

this is actually a decent song...i dont like new against me much...but this is a good song...i guess since i live in st augustine fl haha

[@axlesyple7723]

The shitty thing about having a kid, you can't go to jail anymore:/ Sucks.......

[@TehFrasssaa]

To be honest both sides in this hole "sell out" thing are right. Tbh I don't think they wrote all of I Was A Teenage Anarchist, just doesn't sound like all of the words came from Gabel's mouth if any and when he plays it live he doesn't look like he's enjoying it. One by One/ Unprotected... give a better understanding of why the left the Punk rock 'scene' in which they admit themselves money comes into it. But hey ignore I Was A Teenage Anarchist and every song by them is epic.

[@FueledByDana27]

@inredsharpie i dont even have a daughter. dude.

[@bairhsnyva]

the difference between new against me and old against me is this: new against me WANTS to smash the white crosses, old against me would have already done it.

[@sedd1234]

@Steve44489 Reinventing axl rose is amazing though... who cares if bands change their sound. What bothers me is when they change it and they make mediocre albums with that sound.

[@thenewdevlopment]

i don't think that they sold out, it's just that when i listen to against me i wanna feel something, something that i have never felt with any other band. but their new stuff is just, well vapid. all their songs were very meta. now i find myself singing along with a blank mind. theyre music is still good, but i feel like they lost what they stood for.

[@answersInNemesis]

I can't see Against Me the same after they told me revolution was a lie :(

[@MichealZero1]

they quit sire a year a go and have there own independent record label shut up

[@herrcobblermachen]

Their previous albums definitely embodied the classic vestiges of punk, this album not so much. White Crosses does have more of an alternative rock feel, esp in lieu of music today. But take Miami or The Energizer in context of the time they were released as far as main stream music and political climate are concerned. I suppose once your music is classified as a particular genre, its there to stay.

[@linkinfan68]

ok but this song is about one of the largest political arguments right now, abortion, and if thats not mainsteam then i dont know what is

[@swbsws]

Soon he will make his way back home to you. You will have a little tiny girl and he won't want to smash any at all. I was there 12 YRS AGO my wife was right then and Tom is wrong is now....

[@Impogolis]

Remember when Tom Gabel was a dude? lawl

[@aubreywilliam9048]

Impogolis remember when you were a real punk
