Nymrawd Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 "and we will see how godless a nation we have become"did Billie Joe make this quote up or is it from somewhere else? and does anyone know who the person is at the beginning of the song who says it?

MitchBob Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 This song really introduces what, IMO is the better half of the album. And fuck it introduces it with a bang. It gets me pumped. If it isn't a single worldwide, they aint doing this album justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallorymaloney Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 How come, when the lyrics are written down/typed out, "river of a shadow of doubt" always has quotation marks around it?I get the feeling it's a reference I'm not quite ...

Ally Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 a river running through something that no doubt remains about. so if something is running through something that no one doubts anymore doesn't that mean its running through nothing. I might be thinking about this wrong, but if they throw there crutches into the river of shadow of doubt then they are effectively throwing them into nothing. so maybe is quoted because he is trying to say that theres nothing to doubt, maybe a bit of sarcasm. i dunno, i dunno if that makes sense actually.

Welshy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I thought it was quoted because its a quote from the Bible, or a reference to something in the Bible. Someone read a Bible and find out.edit: This guy says it isn't a Bible quote: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...20122837AAUhA40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather! Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 ^ John Roecker with facial hair whoa Anyway that's neat, thanks for posting the link! It sounds more like BJ (after seeing that video) than I originally thought it did.I LOVE the "don't test me, second guess me, protest me, you will disappear" part. Especially how he did it at the VMAs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuriedInAHole Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I think that EJN as a single will be more successful than 21st CB..I mean it sounds like a party, but it has an important message in it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stxrlesseyes Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Perhaps I am late on this or it's already been answered; however I do not feel like reading 6 pages.Did they get the song title from Juno?I was watching the movie today and her step mom was like, "Out in East Jesus Nowhere." Coincidence or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 East Jesus Nowhere sound better than March of the Dogs.Yeah, I think that title would have sounded a bit anti-religious people (not just fundamentalists), which is not what the song is about, y'know? I don't know, I just think East Jesus Nowhere is a better fit for the song, even if it's not technically part of the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraedonHorbacio Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Not my favorite on the album but its not a BAD song or anything. Im sure in a while it will be my favorite tho. That always happens. That organ in the song really adds to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
