“You have cultural icons who are celebrities to the people. That kind of scares people in a political climate who want control. They can't control them, so all they can do is make the press take control, debase these people and try to take their credibility.” »read more

This song is about unity, and how you can't change things without the support of others. It describes the lack of unity in our society today - feelings of anger, violence and helplessness. (thanks, John - Sydney, Australia)

This song really sends out a message. In my eyes it explains how todays world is racist, selfish, unwilling to work together,and people are willing to bring down others just to have wealth and power, but the only true judge is Christ himself

When Creed performed the song on Late Night with David Letterman, they started to play before David finished telling the viewers about the album "My Own Prison" which the song came from.

This song is about the inherent racism in the world and the political response to it. It is evil(racism) and the only judge is THE ONE; GOD/CHRIST. The human response to racism is affirmitive action and in its own response is inherent as racist and is as evil as racism itself. EXAMPLE; promoting an individual above another based on race rather than talent in that particular field is as, if not more, racist than oppressing an individual because of the same thing. In the end, God decides who is right and who is wrong, not politics and public opinion.
