Re-Education (Through Labor) lyrics by Rise Against

by DaisukeX on Jul 10, 2009 at 08:57 PM Show           I think it's a great song, but Grace Note F'd my lyrics up again. "'CAUSE sometimes dreams just don't come true-" Not "The sometimes dreams just don't come true-" Do you know how many times I've screwed up that line because of you, Grace Note? LOTS.

I'm not sure, but in any case this is an awesome song. Not the best on the album IMO, but an awesome song.

This reference also shows the key meaning behind the line "white needles buried in the red" as well. In some instances what goes on is little short of brainwashing. Basically it's about fighting back against authority, the prosecution of free thought, and not buying into the lies that they want to force you to believe. Good song. :)
