We are the children you reject and disregard
These aching cries come from the bottom of our hearts
You can't disown us now, we are your own flesh and blood
And we don't disappear just because your eyes are shut, now tell me
Love, loss
Like a bullet's path
Tear through
The cavity of my chest
Lights out
Because the fuse has blown
[Chorus]
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
Their crown slips from heads unworthy
As we gain control
This is the family that we crossed or never had
This is a war that was lost the day it began
'Cause it's the race we run, but it keeps us at the start
And it's the song I sung from the bottom of my heart, that's how we
Read you
Like a polygraph
Not one
Single bone in your back
Own up
To how you let us down
[Chorus]
Except for you and me, love
Everyone's the same, we know, we know, we know, we know
But if to live, we have to be numb
I'd rather know the pain, I'd rather know, I'd rather know
This happens almost never
But it happened once to me
And this will never be the same
The ends we seam together
I'm not after fame and fortune
I'm after you
When I've served my time I swear I
Will come back for you
(Watch them fall)
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
Their crown slips from heads unworthy
And right onto us
But, I'm after you
I'm after you
I'm after you
Yeah, I'm after you.
These aching cries come from the bottom of our hearts
You can't disown us now, we are your own flesh and blood
And we don't disappear just because your eyes are shut, now tell me
Love, loss
Like a bullet's path
Tear through
The cavity of my chest
Lights out
Because the fuse has blown
[Chorus]
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
Their crown slips from heads unworthy
As we gain control
This is the family that we crossed or never had
This is a war that was lost the day it began
'Cause it's the race we run, but it keeps us at the start
And it's the song I sung from the bottom of my heart, that's how we
Read you
Like a polygraph
Not one
Single bone in your back
Own up
To how you let us down
[Chorus]
Except for you and me, love
Everyone's the same, we know, we know, we know, we know
But if to live, we have to be numb
I'd rather know the pain, I'd rather know, I'd rather know
This happens almost never
But it happened once to me
And this will never be the same
The ends we seam together
I'm not after fame and fortune
I'm after you
When I've served my time I swear I
Will come back for you
(Watch them fall)
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
Their crown slips from heads unworthy
And right onto us
But, I'm after you
I'm after you
I'm after you
Yeah, I'm after you.

Second I was annoyed that he took it a step further and supported them on stage. I go to a concert to hear music, not hear your political or personal agenda. That being said, I won't support Rise Against at another show. Rage Against the Machine did the same for me. Just play me your music, the message is in there.
I think I have to agree with the child abuse interpretation. You think your parents wear a crown, when you are young, but then it falls off.
But it happened once to me
And this will never be same
The ends we seam together
This couldn't be about Revolution and government. It seems more likely about abuse, and how one
goes about pulling yourself together.
That is just my thoughts.
Or "Turning Japanese"..I don't mean to be crude, but I think by now most people know what those lyrics are in reference to, and I am not talking about race in any manner.
Of course people should read between the lines at times of lyrics, and at other times lyrics are quite straight forward. For example: The nonsensical Paul Anka's "Having My Baby"...which of course makes one want to vomit.

We don�t disappear just because your eyes are shut, now tell me
//the government scorns its own citizens and undermines our rights in light of all of our protest.
As your castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
The crown slips from heads unworthy
As we take control
//the governments power is slipping and bing challenged. the crown a symbol of power, is given back to the people.
This is the family that we crossed or never had
This is a war that was lost the day that it began
Because it�s the race we run, but it keeps us at the start
It�s the song I sung from the bottom of heart, that�s how we
//the ongoing, neverending wars that bankrupt this country and make its citizens work for nothing.
