"I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight
I once believed in causes too
I had my pointless point of view
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right "
Just surviving is a noble fight :/ Get on with my life, don't try to change things, don't have "pointless views". Reinforcing mainstream values, talking about the rebellious in a patronising manner... not very rock'n'roll I must say.
I'm glad someone pointed this out. This song is being totally dismissive of the million reasons the "angry young man" might be angry, have radical points of view, and fought for what he knew was right.

I dunno, isn't this song celebrating Apathy?

I love the song and the lyrics, but you're right, Roseweave, and that always bothered me about it.
