Everyone here thinks this song is about the war in Iraq. That is but a small part of the true meaning of this song. This song refers to the fight against racism that took place in our country.

Everyone here thinks this song is about the war in Iraq. That is but a small part of the true meaning of this song. This song refers to the fight against racism that took place in our country. It talks about how kids are getting involved in gangs and caught up in a whole lot of crap that should be avoided. People are being killed from these decisions. People are being hurt. Nothing good is coming from the surplus of hate that this country has for numerous and absurd things such as the war in Iraq when we should not be there anymore. We are worrying about problems that are occurring in other countries rather than fixing our situation. We need to fix our situation. we cant be going to war as it says in the song "if you practice what you preach then you turn the other cheek" this is not only referring to war but also minor issues that take place here in the united states whether it be racism or anything at all. this song is basically calling out all of the hatred and all of the un-needed crap that takes place in today's society
