Yeah well, it may be an awesome song with a great sound, until you listen to the lyrics. Sad introvert outcast gets hold of his dad's gun and takes it to school then starts shooting... great idea for a winner of a song, huh.

If they'd done different lyrics, it might have been bought for $millions by a shoe company...

I do like that song

Reminds me of the time the class president was crowing that she'd picked the perfect class song for graduation. "Youth of the Nation" by P.O.D.

"You DO realize that's about a school shooting, right?"

Its overplayed on the radio because it has crossed over to the pop and the "not so hard" rock/classic rock stations. That and its hard to pay attention to the lyrics when that bass line gets stuck in your head.

You never know..London Olympics used the Clash's "London Calling" as part of their marketing.

Although, with the riots..the original meaning of the song seems relevant again.
