AFI - Charles Atlas Lyrics
You've seen it all a thousand times (you've seen it all a thousand times),
you've heard it all before (you've heard it all before).
You've danced the steps, you wrote the rhymes.
So passe, too many times, but you're hollow at the core.
Two generations passed you by (two generations passed you by).
But look around and you will see what our world has grown to be.
We are the now, not the past.
Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be.
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it's meant to me.
You've never seen the likes of us (you've never seen the likes of us).
We are your novelty (we are your novelty).
A brand new trend with mass appeal, don't like the truth, don't like what's real.
You're jumping into something you'll never understand.
You think that it's a passing phase (you think that it's a passing phase).
It's our entire life (it's our entire life).
When you change your channel, we'll smash your t.v.
Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be.
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it's meant to me.
Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be.
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it's meant to me.

AFI Charles Atlas Comments
00:00 oH SHIT ICE CREAM CAR IS BROKEN
when this awesome song ends, all i can hear in the silence is FUCK U....VERY MUCH!
they made a song about Angelo Siciliano developer of a bodybuilding method and its associated exercise program first muscle man of the 30's.
guess what charles atlas is my great great grandpa
my mom is jeanne siciliano
I like their old stuff and new stuff. Thanks for sharing how SOME of us feel. If people were true fans, they'd stay true to the band, and I have.. Okay people have an opinion, but if they were that shit why give their new stuff the time of day? Things change, people change and music changes. This particular sound of music was popular back then and now they are more themselves. They're doing what they're doing because they like doing it. I'd like to see these pansies make their own music...
Dude. I've been listening to this band since 95. Bought this album the day it came out, and I'll say it; New AFI is shit. Their music has been effectively castrated. No balls to it. No nothing. And furthermore, fuck Nickelback. I don't know any true AFI fans that even listen to those Canadian cockholes. So, for real, and I think I speak for everyone, shut up.
They don't even have record label now (as far as I know)
Fuuuck, the chorus on this is pure gold..
personally i feel it's whatever point of life or mood i am in i used to really like crash love now i am in love with decemberunderground and well maybe later on i will love even older stuff who knows
As a guitarist, I think all AFI is good in its own way. Only an ignorant fuck would compare old to new. Two completely different things.
@FerrisGreene did this get uprated so people can see how stupid someone can actually be? lol. if this offends you just hit the any key
i fucking love this song
i was learning how to play this earlier and the tab for the solo is terrible. doesn't seem like the solo at all.
@brenhampsten they never sold out. people change over time, and want to express themselves in different ways. just look at every band or artist in the world. every single one of them has changed over the years
GuitarsRgood sure, thats why they went from an independent label to dreamworks. fuck you!
@livinndarkness
@bobokk Their supporting it to enhance a band, not to act cool. But yeah, people need to know a band's music before supporting it
@livinndarkness all these cds are good, they didnt go to shit till after sing the sorrow
@bobokk First of all poser is not the right word. i think you mean tool. second, are you really gonna critisize someone for liking all of a bands music?
Well OBVIOUSLY you changed. I'm glad you noticed. Now, it's on MTV. Okay, AFI still makes good music. Not my cup of tea, but still very good music. I mean, it's better than half the music out there! If you wanna bitch about AFI changing, do that if that's what you were put on earth for.
The rest of us, more sensibly, will listen to Crash Love
in high school back in the 90's it was all about being rebelious being your self and partying and punk music was the shit still is to me and afi represented that but now a days its all about guys dressing like chics and long hair and skinny pants kids are pussies now a days so i guess thats who afi does music for now!!!! sad!
@bobokk Agreed, what BreakingGlass77 said was kind of stupid. I also agree with just about everything you told TheDatumAura. I find it funny how people say when bands go mainstream they are "growing" or "maturing". That's not always the case. AFI's new stuff isn't bad, but their old stuff is WAY better. And yes, I think they did sell out, because from Sing the Sorrow and onward, they changed their sound A LOT. The new stuff just isn't as energetic and raw as their 90s stuff.
Jeez, every fucking AFI video I watch, people are always arguing about what to call their sound and how they're "sellouts" now. Check this out: If you don't like them anymore, don't fucking listen to them.
this isnt fuc kin modern at all there is no punk now days its all pop punk which is really bad.... sooooooooo Go Fuck Yourself!!
True :(
no ,,,afi no suck s ..but is not the same ...... obviously .. they had to change ,,, but i love AFI ,,, forever ,,, and also ,,,,,,, th enew albun come soon

cant believe this stuff was made back in the 90's. it still sounds so modern.
old shit is awsome
SELL OUTS
