No dude, it's a commentary on the world upheaval. He's just that sensitive, obv likes Country music and is concerned about his constituents.
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.
-JCash

Emo kids don't care about the world. They care what happening his their oppressive suburban upper middle class life and skinny jeans.

"My life is spiraling downward.
I couldn't get enough money to go to the
Blood Red Romance and Suffocate me dry concert.
It sucks 'cause they play some of my favorite songs
like "Stab My Heart Because I Love You" and
"Rip Apart My Soul" and of course,
"Stabby Rip Stab Stab".
And it doesn't help that I c

I see these kids when I go to Robek's (smoothie place right by High School) and I laugh, laugh, laugh with my .mp3 player on so I don't have to listen to how much their lives suck. They might actually even know a Misfits song!

There's a song called "To lose my life" by White Lies that I like and I don't know why. It must speak to my soul.

I like Fall Out Boy. I remember when no one knew who they were. I remember when FOB actually had male fans and they were the most vocal fans. I remember when Peter Wentz wasn't so douchey. The good ole days aka 2002.

I remember those days too.

...And TTTYG will always be an awesome album. Evening Out with your Girlfriend had a few good songs, but their second album was better imho.

Also, FOB put out a mix tape called 'Welcome to the New Administration.' and it was ttly worth it to be able to play The Hush Sound's 'We believe (in barack Obama) and FOB's 'ALPHAdog and OMEGAlomaniac' and Tyga's sample/remix of the Beach Boys 'California Girls'

I completely agree. TTTYG was all I listened to sophomore year. I really love their acoustic album as well.
