Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Only in America
We're slaves to be free
Only in America we kill the unborn
To make ends meet
Only in America
Sexuality is democracy
Only in America we stamp our dollar
"In God We Trust"
What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America
What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America, In America, In America
Church bell's ringing
Pass the plate around
The choir is singing
As their leader falls to the ground
Please mister prophet man
Tell me which way to go
I gave my last dollar
Can I still come to your show
What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America
What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America, In America, In America, In America
I am right and you are wrong
I am right and you are wrong
I am right and you are wrong
No one's right and no one's wrong
In America, In America, In America, In America
What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America, In America
What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America, In America
What is right for you and me?
In America
We're slaves to be free
Only in America we kill the unborn
To make ends meet
Only in America
Sexuality is democracy
Only in America we stamp our dollar
"In God We Trust"
What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America
What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America, In America, In America
Church bell's ringing
Pass the plate around
The choir is singing
As their leader falls to the ground
Please mister prophet man
Tell me which way to go
I gave my last dollar
Can I still come to your show
What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song
In America
What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in

I am right and you are wrong
I am right and you are wrong
I am right and you are wrong
No one's right and no one's wrong

What is right for you and me?
In America

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
but, this is a problem with all "democrocy's", the government is voted in democratically, but the country is run as a diguised totalitarian state, although not many people see this because the way society is structured so you may all think i am talking rubbish, but,
if you look at, untill the age of five, what you do is controlled by your parents, then the government forces you to go to school. once at school you are indoctranised with subtle propaghanda. acctually, thinking about it, life is propaghanda, cos the way society is structured by the government, all money and power hungry whores, you are brought up your whole life being told that you have to get a job, make money etc, this is all so the government can get their hands on it because it gives the power hit they need. life today is structured the way people want you to live it, not the way you want to live it, they give you a vote so you think you are free, but once a government is in power, they can do what they want, not what they ought to do. i mean, our government (labour, i'm british) cant even do what they want to. so they have resorted to attempting to banning fox hunting?!?!?! to take peoples eyes off their failures to carry out simple procedures such as pumping money into the NHS so it can have well payed staff and good equiptment. although this is a fault of the society living in a democracy has created for itself. in, say, an anarchist society, people would be working in small communities together and efficiantly, needing no money because people are working to support each other. to me this makes so much more sense than the capatilist society we live in today.
so true. have you seen a movie called Zeitgeist? if not, then do so, because you'll love it.
The government is corrupt, but it tries to sheild us from the truth.... Only in america we stamp our God "In God we trust" means that in america, our money is sometimes the only mean of God we have. By this, i mean that to some of us, money is more important than God
This song is very inspirational to me. It helps me to rememeber just what is wrong in this world of ours so I can do the exact oppisite.
what to hell are you writing in here??? creed is a band with high moral ideas, most of the lyrics are against mental slavery, racism and war...maybe they are some kind of religious...but this doesn't disturb me, although I don't believe in that there is a CRISTIAN or a ISLAMIC or a JEWISH god...don't you think it's just one god???
Anyway, I think creed is a band that tries to impart moral guidelines...and I think it's just unsuitable and ridiculous to write SUCH comments under that lyrics!
PS.: I'm from germany (you probably see this because of my mistakes) and I think the problems mentioned in this song don't only exist in america, but also in europe
this song reflects the faults in the american nation........it aint a perfect country as most think it is!
sorry, if you look at IT.
this song is about the moral decline of society, and how its crippling us
i think this song is genius. Scott Stapp is talking about how the problems of america can lead one to lose faith in society, government, and authority in general. Scott talks about greed, abortion, and how easy it is to lose your direction and abandon values when tempted by the "dark side", if you will. The best part of this song is that it is written in such a way that it is not a whiny bitchy song about triumphing over authority and hating the government, but about finding something to believe in when you don't believe in anything else. (.... i don't know who to believe in, my soul sings a different song in america)
uhum! fuckyouall let me give you a piece of advice. Now listen up, YOU DO NOT have to be Christian to listen to thier music. You can be any race, color, natonality, religion,sex whatever and you can still listen to thier music. So anyway back to the point,This song is 'bout how messed up america can be sometimes. My favroite part in the song is "Only in America sexuality is democracy".You don't see any women priests right. There aren't very many women are judges.My list can go on and on about how women can be forgotten.
This song definitely deals with the problems of the country and our world. It's an awesome song. Some of the guitar effects are really sweet.
