Last night I got to see one of the best bands of all time. Rise Against, they put on a really good show. And I'm not sore anywhere on my body even though I was in the middle of a sea of bodies that were constantly pushing and pulling. My sister was a little bummed that they didn't sing Swing Life Away, but me and my brother sung pretty much every song. We knew all but one and that was from the very first album which we still need to get a few song's from.

Other than the stupid ass hole that was chewing and kept spitting on the floor, I had an amazing time. I didn't get to bed until 3:00 because my adrenaline was still going. This was one of the best times in my life. I will indeed go and see them whenever they are in town, Rancid and Billy Talent was good too but I didn't have a lot of fun listening to them because A)I didn't know any Billy Talent songs, and B)I only knew one Rancid song... yes kill me you rotten little punk peoples I only know one song from Rancid and the only Reason I know it is because it was on Tony Hawks Underground or Underground 2. But overall the whole show was a good one, it was even better than the Jägermeister Tour me and my brother saw last November.

Also, ALSO if you haven't listened to Rise Against ever EVAR I suggest you do it now. The song's actually have meaning to them, like about human and animal rights. Although they are part of P.E.T.A(eww farking animal killers) they know how to get a point across. Plus the lead singer Tim McIlrath is a freak of nature. I'm serious about this. He has heterochromia eyes, one is a dark brown and the other is a dark/medium blue, I think it's pretty damn awesome and anyone who ever teased him where just jealous of his oddity.

Any and every song by them is awesome so just pick one and listen, although I wouldn't really suggest watching their music vids because most of them have dieing and suffering animals. Give It All is a pretty good vid though. Or Re-Education (Through Labor).

Survive-
Somewhere between happy, and total fucking wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground, sometimes at the edge
To spend your waking moments, simply killing time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams, to give up on your...

Life for you, (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number, (who we are) stand in line
We've all been sorry, (who we are) we've all been hurt
But how we survive, (who we are) is what makes us who we are

An obvious disinterest, a barely managed smile
A deep nod in agreement, a status quo exile
I shirk my obligations, I miss all your deadlines
I excel at quitting early, and fucking up my life

Life for you, (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number, (who we are) stand in line
We've all been sorry, (who we are) we've all been hurt
But how we survive, (who we are) is what makes us who we are

All smiles and sunshine, a perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out, I have never felt so fucking great
All smiles and sunshine, a perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out, I have never felt so great

(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this) Life isn't like this
(Life isn't like this) Life isn't like this
(Life isn't like this) Are we verging on an answer,
or fucking up our...

Life for you, (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number, (who we are) stand in line
We've all been sorry, (who we are) we've all been hurt
But how we survive, (who we are) is what makes us who we are

(Who we are)
It's what makes us who we are
(Who we are)
Makes us who we are
(Who we are)
It's what makes us who we are
(Who we are)

Drones-
Deep inside these burning buildings
Voices die to be heard
Years we spent teaching a lesson
We ourselves had never learned

And if strength is born from heartbreak
Then mountains I could move
And if walls could speak I'd pray
That they would tell me what to do

If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.
Forget my name and I'll forget it too.
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you.

No signs of life here, save the embers, the occasional flame,
We'd know the way but can't remember, conception to the grave,
Shout confessions from the greatest heights, where no one can hear,
All my fears, my insecurities are falling like tears.

If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.
Forget my name and I'll forget it too.
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you.

The drones all slave away, they're working overtime,
They serve a faceless queen, they never question why.
Disciples of a God, that neither lives nor breathes, (I won't come back!)
But we have bills to pay, yeah we have mouths to feed! (I won't come back!)
I won't come back!

And if you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.
Forget my name and I'll forget it too.
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you.

I'm coming back to you
