| I bought this 7" new back in 83 or 84. The best Minor Threat song for sure. How can you all sit here and try to decipher the meanings of another man's songs? That's like trying to imagine what his girlfriend looks like naked. | |

| this song, i'm pretty sure, is about Ian going back to his home to and getting crap from people who use to give him praise, and on top of that, the song also has to do with the break up of the band, and how relationships became somewhat hostel towards the end and how back in the bands early days things were better. this was the last song minor threat ever wrote for a reason. they explain the lyrics to this song and handful of others in the chapter over minor threat in the book "Our Band Could Be Your Life" i'd suggest anyone who would come on a songmeanings forum to read their chapter in it. | |

| GREAT GREAT GREAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember hearing this song for the first time about 5 or 6 years ago in a 411 skat video. Like fine wine, the essence of this song only intensifies with age. However, it is through one's own age that this song appreciates in meaning. Oh mama. Words just don't do it justice. What an amazing song, yet so simple. | |

| i like this song alot, one of my favorites, but to me, its ian saying how they were "babies" when they started, and now, music, and life has changed, and as a band, minor threat is coming to and end. if you listen to it in order that the songs are on the complete discography,and compare to the other songs, it even sounds like a "grand finale" song. | |

| I truly concur :D.. the song is about people allways "wishing for the day", gloryfiyng their youth which may not at all have been so great. ian obviously can't stand these people... thing is.. it actually feels like one of those songs that does "wish for the day", but that may have been the purpose. | |

| The line "the core has gotten soft" may be referring to how hard core's in some respects was becoming less . . . hard. | |

| It's also kind os a tribute to the early days of punk, the best days, before the whole scene got messed up and turned into another trend. | |

| This is an awesome song... the lyrics are pretty deep, as they are with most of Minor Threat's songs. People can't understand the lyrics though... but it's cool. | |
