I love that song. I don't pay attention to what the lyrics mean or politics. You'll probably dislike most bands if you do. Don't pay attention to he lyrics? That is the song though.

I'm thinking... so far, that Everlast song is the least annoying one mentioned.
In fact, I almost like it. |

Quoted: Fantastic song and great lyrics. View Quote No. Whenever I presume to lecture GD about how misplaced compassion is a pernicious character flaw, the song in the OP is the soundtrack. It is not only excusable to be judgmental, it is preferable. A virtue, even. If you are not judgmental, you do not possess the ability to exercise good judgment. IOW, whenever anyone, ever, is trying to guilt you, they are trying to manipulate you. Whether the person guilting you is someone in your personal life, a political figure or from pop culture, if they are trying to make you feel bad, it's because they are trying to cloud your intellect with emotion. It's almost as if they have an agenda or something. |

The Electric Slide....
I FUCKING HATE THE ELECTRIC SLIDE! Every god damn stupid cocksucking wedding you go to they have to play that stupid fucking bullshit and every fucking retard in the God damn building flocks to the fucking dance floor like the song is God's gift to man because its the only shit their fat, retarded, white, worthless, talentless fucking asses can fucking dance to. And even at that they still manage to fuck it up. Oh, and how long is it? Well wouldn't you know! It's like 30 fucking minutes long! WE'RE DOING THE ELECTRIC SLIDE BABY! For THIRTY FUCKING MINUTES! You know, because if it were only like 2.5 minutes long like a normal fucking song no one would have their fill of sliding to the left! Well thank God! Because every time I see two people make the biggest mistake of their lives it just doesn't fucking feel complete unless I get to endure 30 fucking minutes of some god damn asshole telling me what fucking direction to slide to! |

Was that "beard" ever cool? I always thought it was douche-y...

This probly doesn't make sense, but when I saw this I didn't realize which song it was and I thought "eh, it's probly bad but not as bad as that shitty "no one knows what it's like to be a piece of shit" song but it turns out it WAS that song.
HAHAHAHAHA |

Annoying perhaps, but I don't think the lyrics are "libtarded".
It's basically saying two things: 1) don't be a judgmental prick 2) careful what choices you make in life....because you're stuck with the outcome of those choices. |

Quoted:
I think the song OP is talking about is really discussing a different aspect or phase of the bad choices made. Yes the song glosses over the discussion of the bad choices themselves. Be that as it may the lyrics still discuss the after effects of choices and how others react to those who have made those choices and what impact it can have in life. If you look at the song from a biblical standpoint it basically says don't judge. If you look at the song from a society standpoint it says that people will judge you, right or wrong, about the choices you have made. If you look at it from a substance abuse standpoint it says you could be a looked down upon, dirty, disgusting person with no money and no family. If you look at it from a morality standpoint it says if you have unprotected sex you can get pregnant, get dumped, have to make a choice on keeping the baby, and have people hate you for making the decision to abort the baby. Which also opens yourself up to a society stigma. It also makes a point to say that until you have had a challenge from a specific bad decision you don't fully understand the consequences from that exact decision. So while the song does not give a teaching opportunity on how to avoid the bad decisions. Those types of songs remind me of the responsibility I have as a parent to teach my kids not to make those decisions and not to make those bad decisions myself as to not negatively impact my children as I want them to be better off than me and not make the same mistakes that I did. I would certainly like my children to make no mistakes but that won't happen. So I find teaching moments to help explain to them actions have consequences and you may not like it so choose wisely. Plus I like the guitar part in the song. View Quote Well put. |

Also not as annoying as "Bodies Hit The Floor" or any Steely Dan song, but yeah it's a stupid song and Everlast is a douchebag. I hope he attends the haj and gets stampeded into goo. View Quote Hah! I walked out of a steely dan concert after two songs. Got the tickets for free and still felt like I got ripped off. |

Every person I knew in the late 90s who loved this song were super ghetto bucket hat-wearing losers.
The OP nailed it spot-on. Whenever I hear this song I cringe. It reminds me of some of my friends back then who had the same attitude - some of them were getting caught up in coke and meth, stealing shit, etc. but they were all "good hearted people", who genuinely believed that their lives (and others around them) became fucked up just because of pure chance, and not their shitty decision making capability. It's was the late 90s anthem of the "he wuz just turning his life around" crowd. It was no surprise that it had healthy crossover into the Juggalo circles as well. |

I remember when it finally hit me that I was one of the bad guys according to RATM. I took Evil Empire out of my CD player and never listened to them again for longer than it took to change the station. They're a bunch of shit apples. |

Have none of you been to Disney World/Land? Its A Small World; most annoying song EVER!!! As a kid I wanted to drown myself before the ride was even half-way over. Nightmares of small smiling diverse dolls staring at me regardless of where I turn.

Would you like a song praising communism Plenty of RATM fans on here. Yep. I don't care what entertainer's political opinions are for the most part. But when their entire catalog is based off of their hatred of myself and my values it really doesn't do anything for me. |
