Red Stars lyrics

Also got to remember that this album is all school-related.

It's about school. Back then they used to give out red stars for those who were good, and got it taken away when you were bad.

Why would this song be about communism (that's the correct spelling by the way) if they don't know anything about it, except what they've learned in school. I think they're talking about the education system here in america. They take out the facts they don't want others to remember to have a seemingly perfect past (or somewhat, considering the civil war). No truth in that. And i think 'misplaced admiration' refers to our admiration of thugs and robbers such as jesse james in our school systems. So, i think this song is referring to our messed up school system.

These arent "slightly wrong" they are all pretty much way wrong. I have the album and the lyrics are in the booklet, why do you decline requests to correct them?

Correct:

Best of cruel intentions
finding what they fail to mention. No truth, all pretension
raise your hand to get attention.

You give and we take it,
you build it, we break it
you sign and we erase it
you feel it, we fake it

Its my red star, i steal it
its my red star, i cant let go
its my red star, conceal it
its my red star... All i know

Wasted education
celebrating imitation
misplaced admiration
speaking for a generation

You give and we take it
you build it, we break it
you sign and we erase it
you feel it, we fake it

As an example of what i wrote, this is what i mean:

I made my name after the band deadsy... Because i admire their music and what i feel or believe it means... What if they jsut came out saying they have no meanings and it was all random shit.. Which some of it is..

Elijah from deadsy would be a red star and also son of cher hah :) who had a easy entry into the music business. I still love deadsy :p haha

I think the song is about writing music that is fake, which makes the star red... Red meaning fake and evil or lying.. It kinda shows in the song throughout, i do understand the commi plot but it does not match with the you sign and we erase it stuff. It is about how the star hides the truth and that the lyrics are just fake but you feel it, they dont.

In the end its just a business like any other. Some do it to change the world like a philosopher, scholar, or heroe. Some do it because they are needy.

Misplace admiration with stars because we think we feel what they do, so we admire them, they speak for a generation but they lie, which make us a lie but its all we know. I love this song, any ideas?

Wasted education
celebrating imitation
misplaced admiration

Reminds me of komunism sooo much! Not to mention all the red stars :)

The lyrics are in the booklet and these lyrics are slightly wrong.

May i just ask if anyone else wonders whether tbm are actually aware that a red star is the symbol of communism?

Thank you! Kamkazzy, lol i tried to request for the lyrcis here to be corrected twice and declined twice, it kinda p***ed me off just bc tbm is my favorite all time band and it was irritating that these lyrics were wrong and he refused to fix em. Didnt mean to sound like a b*tch or anything tho.

I think these are the lyrics.. A couple of your things dont make sense.. But this sounds more like the song in my opinion.
