Ok, I actually like this song. It freaking rocks. But, I have a major problem with it. Read the dissection, and you will hopefully agree with me. First time I heard this song on the radio, I thought it was the band 'Saigon Kick.' The opening riffs and the verse and bridge sound not similar but EXACTLY like Saigon Kick. Then, we got to the chorus which sounds like everything else on the radio these days. I was excited because I thought Saigon Kick was back together, and had released a new album! For those reading this who have no idea who Saigon Kick is, go to You Tube and look for the songs 'Hostile Youth' 'Peppermint Tribe' and 'What You Say' among others. On with the dissection!
For the record, I like Shinedown. 45 is one of my favorite current songs. I don't care for their remake of Simple Man though. I'm not a fan of acoustic songs.
Here we go!
Verse: It's 8 AM, this hell I'm in
Seems I've crossed a line again
For being nothing more than who I am
So break my bones and throw your stones
We all know that life ain't fair
But there's more of us we're everywhere
My main point will be revealed later, but if you guys are everywhere, why not rise up and whip this punk's ass?
Bridge: We don't have to take this back against the wall
We don't have to take this we can end it all
You don't have to take it, but your back is against the wall? Sounds like you ARE taking it and getting your ass kicked! And how are you going to end it all? Are you going to kill him? Or commit suicide? Pretty vague words there. I'm sure a prosecuting attorney could use that line to convict you for murder if the bully turns up dead!
Chorus: All you'll ever be is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt can you hear me
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die you're a bully
Wow! You guys are gonna hang this bully??? Why not simply BEAT HIS ASS like I did in high school when I was being bullied? And if he is just a faded memory, why write a song about him? This bully (if you didnt kill him) is probably getting laid all the time by telling the chicks that HE is the bully in your song! You guys empowered this bully to get pussy on a rock star scale!!!
Verse: Think it through you can't undo
Whenever I see black and blue I feel the past, I share the bruise
With everyone who's come and gone
My head is clear my voice is strong, now I'm right here to right the wrong
You are confronting him in adult life after all these years? I'll go back to what I asked earlier...Are you gonna kill the guy?
Bridge: We don't have to take this back against the wall
We don't have to take this we can end it all
Chorus: All you'll ever be is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt can you hear me
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die you're a bully
You know what? Why in the hell would you care if he's lonely? He's making a punk out of you. He's a piece of shit. Who cares if he is lonely???
I'm still making you wait for my main point at the end! When you read it, you will think to yourself "Damn...He's right! This song doesn't rock as much as I thought it did!"
Verse: It's 8 AM, the hell I'm in
Your voice is strong, now right the wrong
You want a public apology? DUDE! Kick his ASS like Ralphie did in 'A Christmas Story!!!'
Chorus: All you'll ever be is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt can you hear me
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die you're a bully
Wait for it! Its coming!
Chorus/Bridge: All you'll ever be is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt can you hear me
We don't have to take this back against the wall
We don't have to take this we can end it all
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die you're a bully
NOW! My feelings on this song....HOW IN THE HELL can a hard rock/metal song be crying about bullies??? If you're metal, JUST KICK THE GUY'S ASS!!! I swear, the more bullying is featured on the news, the more PUSSIES will be created from it. I kicked not one but TWO bullies asses in junior high at the same time. These punks had been tormenting me and finally, I had enough and I literally kicked both their asses at the same time. Know what? I NEVER looked at them and called them bullies.
My biggest problem with this song is that just the word 'bully' and how they say 'you're a bully' is NOT metal. You call someone a bully when THEY kick YOUR ass. If they start crap with you and you kick their ass, guess what...You are a badass, and they are pussies.

And read some of the comments...There are actually people saying the kid who was being bullied did something wrong!
We are raising a bunch of pussies in this country. I'm glad I will either be dead or too old to care when these kids are in charge.
