| Rise Against – A Gentlemen's Coup Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I am not trashing your opinion but more of stimulating a discussion but do you really think society will function better without governments and without order? If we did live in a post apocalyptic world do you really think that people would live fairly? To me because of capitalism the world will never function properly again. The world wouldn't change it would stay the same, people fighting to have the most of everything because that is what man has become, greedy. | |

| I see how that works and I agree. I just done think this song is only about discrimination against sexual preference. I think its bullying in general. Which is something I think you have picked up as well? | |

Its definately talking about the end of days but its making fun of the world in a sense. The start of the song its like saying how we apparently didn't see it coming but the tone of the lyrics seems really sarcastic like its saying the warning signs are there how can we miss them. Its also got that stereotypical take on what will happen when it is announced that the world is going to end. Chaos sets in and panic is everywhere. A good visual example of this 2012 or even the Knowing. The overwhelming tone of the song up until after the second chorus is so saddening but by this next verse the shift in tone shows happiness. It puts a bit of a happy twist on the worlds destruction. It gives everyone a second chance to make things right and to do things differently. Even the chorus shows this with the line "I shed this unclean skin" which shows how we have a chance to start again and do things correctly |

I'm just putting this out there but I don't think the song is about sexual discrimination based on their sexual preference. I mean many lyrics in the song seem to support this but I think the song is about suicide in general due to bullying and even worse then just suicide. "The schoolhouse halls The shotgun's loaded Push me and i'll push back" These lines seem to give me the idea of those massacres in America of when students have walked through and killed other students. I think the song is saying that these people were driven by being bullying. I don't think the song is justifying their deeds but I think its saying that Bullying is what caused this in some cases. Don't get me wrong this is only an idea it can be wrong or right. |

I think its about the self destructive nature of countries and how they always end eventually. The start of the song basically shows that all great powers have come to end and its saying how is America any different. Then if you listen to the rest of the song and a focus on the lyrics I agree it could be talking about Iraq but I think its just war in general and how the people who actually fight the war are not the people who necessarily vote or make decisions for the country. It sought of shows the idiocy behind war that it's the old man that declare it but the young men that lose their lives for it. I think its meant to link to the idea that nations will come to end no matter how much they may try and fight it. "What purpose does this serve? What purpose did I serve?" These two lines some up the entire song. People die for no real reason. Hardcore Americans will read this and say for some stupid reason that their government has fed them that the war has a just reason. But does it? People die all the time but the point of this song is to say that young people die for an old man war and in the end the super powers that we all know will perish because thats just what history has taught us. No world super power can last forever so whats the point of fighting in a war for a country that will not last. Some Americans not all so I'm not taking a swing at the country but some believe that their country is going to last forever, these people are blinded by pride and thats what this song is trying to get at. I think. |
