| The song is about when the lines get blurred between right and wrong, leaving the innocent people on the streets screwed in the middle. We all feel it, so screw everything. THE SONG ROCKS! LIVING END ROCK! | |

| Probably one of the best bands ever from Australia next to the likes of ACDC. I wish America would pull it out and realise yeah they have Green Day and they are good but we're Australia the luckiest country with The Living End and not even Howard will fuck it up. | |
