Don't worry about me, I'm gonna make it alright
Got my enemies crossed-haired in my sight
I take a bad situation gonna make it right
In the shadows of darkness I stand in the light

You see it's our style to keep it true
I've had a bad year, a lot to go through
I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue
She's not the one coming back for you
She's not the one coming back for you

If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend
If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend

It takes disaster to learn a lesson
You're gonna make it through the darkest night
Some people betray one and cause treason
We're gonna make everything alright

Well the worst of times, now, they don't phase me
Even if I look and act really crazy
I went way down, she betrayed me
Now my vision is no longer hazy

I'm very lucky to have my crew
They stood by me when she flew
I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue
She's not the one coming back for you
She's not the one coming back for you

If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend

If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend (x4)

    General Comment:Rancid's songs are usually very obvious with the meaning.
    And as for Rancid being sellouts, how can they be sell outs? They didn't change their beliefs to get more money, they just got big. And more power to them, they've worked hard they deserve some recognition. Just because a once underground band becomes popular doesn't make them sellouts, it just makes them successful. People needa stop confusing fame and selling out.

    Memory:this reminds me of karaoke at sparky's in brewerton. i'm really lucky to have my crew. (60%) we're fucked up in our own ways, but we always see past them. if i never met scotty, jer and dan, i don't know where i'd be right now. i love my crew. i love everything about them. their mistakes, their lifts, their sorrow. i'm there for them through and through. there's something thicker than blood. there's no word for it. but there is. fuck knives in the back, fuck heresay, fuck people that live in your home and take your role. they die and live with their consequences.

    General Comment:Yeah, if they wanted to really sell out they would've joined a major label when people were offering them millions just to join them. Yeah, this song has a lot of douchebags in the video. But I mean, Tim's really good friends with Billy Joe Armstrong. Oh well. Song kicks ass, so good live.

    General Comment:Classic song, I play it in my band, check us out, myspace.com/… no tunes up but hopefully later this month, heavily influenced by Rancid, as well as bands such as the Stray cats etc...

    Anyway
    This song is awesome, it may have sold Rancid out, probably cause it was on a Tony Hawks, I had heard Rancid before, bits and bobs but hearing that song made me buy the album, which is one of my favourite albums now. For a band to be succesful, its impossible not to sell out. Everyones out there to make money, even if its only enough to live on, they still need it!
