No Picture Splinter Average	#2 by Splinter Cell at May 18, 1987 at 9:15 AM EST
	Pennywise are awesome as are their lyrics and this song is awesome too, however not nessecarily their most lyrically ingenius effort, as a drummer if ound the drumming to be right on the spot, Byron MCMackin does a wonderful job with this track. If you like pennywise and bad religion and the sorts, check out the lyrics to my band Erasa, or Everybody Rebel Against Societies Authority they are very pennywise ad br influenced it is simple just type in Erasa on the band search thing and have a read, tell me what you think and i will give youinfo how to acquire recorded versions. Later.

No Picture mario Average	#3 by mario ramirez at Jun 7, 1987 at 6:16 PM EST
	I love this song, it's probably the best one on Straight Ahead if not the best ever. I think the meaning is that he feels alienated and alone in a world that's so violent and apathetic to its own violence. This is also the first song I ever learned to play on the guitar.

No Picture jordan Average	#4 by jordan sjsjtkiris at Dec 24, 1990 at 3:20 AM EST
	man how the hell do these guys find things to ping on society and the world, my god they must watch the news on cable or somethin and jot everything down in a journal or somethin, must say it impresses me somewhat and it also has a pretty rockin tune

No Picture Pysio Wanna Be	#5 by Pysio xD at Oct 26, 2003 at 12:10 PM EST
	Lyrically I do like this song, musically I think its horrible and not one of their best slower songs. Who's on your side? on Land of the Free? is so much better smoother and expertly executed, and so are the lyrics. I do like the criticism this song(alien) provides: the apathy that currently plagues our society. Indirectly he's making a plea for people to change their way of life and adopt a peaceful attitude and positive state of mind. Who is the alien he is referring to? he and others who believe in and follow peace. we who believe in peace and alternative ways of living their lives are aliens in our own society.
