Please? Come on. Agree with me. I really like this song. Quirky and mellow on the album, quirky and rocking live. Has that signature Jeff Ament kind of lyrics also seen in NOAIS and Low Light... you know patching together lines to create a patchwork of meaning instead of a linear story. Really good live-song where Eddie puts more energy/anger into the chorus instead of the hopelessness/sadness that are heard in the studio version.

Please. It's an underrated song and a gem live. Anyone agree?

    The Adelaide boot of 2003 is nearly worth it for this song alone!! Although Mile working Red Mosquito into the solo of Even Flow is SWEET too!!

    Great version, only time I've heard it though. I like it better than Pilate and it's on par with push me pull me as a great rareity.

    I totally agree. I really got into this song today actually and looked at the lyrics in depth for the first time. Its a great song and I love the line "The man they call my enemy, I've seen his eyes,He looks just like me." Hope to hear this in the future.

    If you do, please don't play it at any of the shows I attend!

    It is my least favorite regular album PJ song.

    No offense.

    Great, meaningful song! Riot Act kicks all kinds of ass! One of my top 4 albums!

    I have yet to hear this one live, it would definitely be a treat!

    My opinion is that you have to listen to the album version more times until it will finally grow on you. Although, I am a big fan of the song, I don't like the live versions that I have listened to so far as much as the album version.
