No Picture Steve Lead Player	#1 by Steve Baker at Jul 6, 1974 at 6:29 PM EST
	goodbye america, fuck you america. its time for change

No Picture GaRy Average	#2 by GaRy Boggs at Jan 6, 1975 at 8:55 PM EST
	Henley, I think you are wrong. Firstly by this band being out there and listened to they /are/ making a change. Even if it is just a tiny one, they may be influencing people, inspiring people, who knows? But it does make a difference. That'd be like saying authors/poets/song writers who simply 'bitch' about a situation don't make a difference but that is wrong because alot of them touch people on a large scale. Secondly, I don't think the song is really suposed to change anything, although I'm sure it does to atleast one person, I think it is just a way of expressing the bands opinion.

No Picture Freebass Average	#3 by Freebass Konata at Mar 14, 1975 at 8:55 PM EST
	Too bad the song doesn't mean what the band wants it to. "America" is all of North and South America. A person in Brazil can call themself American and be correct; the song should've been directed toward an actual country, like the United States.

No Picture Eat All The Gra Wanna Be	#4 by Eat All The Grass That You Want Butler at May 13, 1980 at 9:23 AM EST
	if you like this song, you might like Anti-Flag, Against All Authority, Agent Orange, Choking Victim, Leftover Crack, Pennywise, Propaghandi, Rise Against, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, The Exploited, Toxic Narcotic, and U.S. Bombs...and this is a GREAT song

No Picture Jerry Lead Player	#5 by Jerry Harris at Dec 2, 1987 at 3:31 PM EST
	getting drunk

No Picture Jay Average	#6 by Jay at Feb 25, 1991 at 5:30 AM EST
	xkylexkeyx: Only citizens from USA call themselves Americans. Everybody knows America refers to the USA. Otherwise it would say North America or South America. You don't hear someone from Chili saying their American. They say Chilean or South American. When someone says Fuck You America EVERYBODY knows EXACTLY who it means.

No Picture Jordan Rhythm Player	#7 by Jordan at Jul 15, 1991 at 4:32 AM EST
	Fuck you punk emo bitches. This song is very good, i have enjoyed listening to it since its release. But why dont punk people sing about the real fucking enemy, the fucking terrorists! Stop bitching about the USA and lets kill sum sand niggers.

No Picture steven Lead Player	#8 by steven ratliff at Jan 2, 1994 at 3:58 PM EST
	Nova: I agree I love my country , I don't however love the government. The US ain't perfect, but it could be ALOT worse. How would you have liked to live under the Taliban or something like that?

No Picture Fresh Average	#9 by Fresh at Sep 10, 2001 at 4:37 AM EST
	You people make me happy that I'm NOT one of you. Do I agree with all the policies and actions of this country? No I don't. But despite this, I'm not going run around waving middle fingers and cursing America. Punk is about seeing something you don't like and advocating change, not bitching and moaning about it. As a final thought, every time you run your mouth about not liking your country (I do it too, don't worry), you should THANK the US for granting you the right to do so. Free speech can't be taken for granted, and in general, freedom isn't free. Have some respect.

No Picture Nick Average	#10 by Nick L at Sep 22, 2001 at 5:55 AM EST
	"pledge allegence to your self not greed, power, war, and wealth remember you were born a human being not a part of their machine" That is the best set of lyrics i have ever heard, it cant be put any better or more simple....fuck america.

No Picture Paul Wanna Be	#11 by Paul at Oct 5, 2003 at 8:59 PM EST
	Punk is dead? no america is dead, authority is dead. i'll raise my finger. FUCK YOU AMERICA!!!

No Picture Joseph Average	#12 by Joseph Ross at Oct 15, 2003 at 8:04 AM EST
