Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Josh Wanna Be	#1 by Josh Allen at May 23, 1970 at 12:49 PM EST
	I think this song is more about how people aren't willing to invest any real devotion in their religion. They put blind faith in it and expect God to save them no matter what they do. Nobody takes the time to question why they believe what they do, they just take ot for granted. I think this is especially clear in the lines about the choir girls asking Lord to save us. Side note, is it supposed to be a sky with no erring, or a sky with no air in it? The CD insert doesn't say and I can't tell for sure.

No Picture Dakota Lead Player	#2 by Dakota Sparks at Oct 9, 1970 at 8:59 AM EST
	i like life and religion. yay for Thursday!

No Picture Diego Average	#3 by Diego Rullansky at Jul 17, 1971 at 10:56 AM EST
	There's more than one way to interpret a song. Don't call people idiots for having different ideas than you. That sucks.

No Picture kyle Average	#4 by kyle davis at Oct 26, 1981 at 10:44 AM EST
	geoff said it was about thinking there was no higher being. not exactly being an aethiest but just questioning faith.

No Picture Tommy The Cat Lead Player	#5 by Tommy The Cat at Jan 15, 1989 at 2:50 AM EST
	Awesome lyrics, neither promoting or speaking out against religion, but just being able to get the point where you can question your own beliefs.

No Picture kyle Average	#6 by kyle henry at Feb 9, 1996 at 11:26 AM EST
	"No man is an Iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine own were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."

No Picture Pink Rhythm Player	#7 by Pink Mintaka at Jul 29, 1997 at 9:42 AM EST
	I'm pretty sure that he's pro-life. Check the message boards for Marches & Maneuvers to see more discussion about it.

No Picture nikki Average	#8 by nikki at Feb 26, 2001 at 3:08 AM EST
	Yep, he's an Agnostic. Kinda makes sense if you really look at the song closely. "and hang our doubts up in cathedrals so that they turn to faith in the colored sunlight." kinda saying how we fore ourselves into beleiving without thinking about it. "and we're praying these are the symptoms of letting go of all our hope." not quite sure what this means... my guess is that its commenting on how we turn to faith when we cant solve porblems ourselves. Maby its saying to do something rather than rely only on faith. I always thaught it was "we woke up this morning to a sky with no air in it" rather than "we woke up this morning to a sky with no erring" oh, and this albums certainly not all about war. Actually, even the song "War all the Time" isnt about war. Its actually based off a movie, i believe... Def of agnostic from an agnostic (me) Basically someone who believes that there is no way for us to say that there isnt a god, or that there is a god. Agnostics can be almost atheists, but know that just because religion cant be proven doent mean atheism must be true. Agnostics, in my expereince, are very philosophical, and tend to think about religion even more than many religious people. Geoff's exact belieifs, i dont know, and i dont even know the religions of the other bandmembers....
