The Crew
7Seconds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't help thinking hard about,
What's really gonna happen,
And what's in store for
Us and them is bullshit,
And if we're gonna make it work
We've gotta care together
[Chorus]
It'll take some time to fix it up
But that is something we must do,
With solid hearts and clearer minds,
We'll raise our voice and blast right through.
We'll stop the ones who fuck it up,
And show the world that they can't stop the crew.
The crew is me, the crew is you, yeah we're the crew!
The threat of war ain't over,
And yes I fear it's getting near,
With all this hate inside us,
It all may just start.
Here now will you listen,
Or would you rather just ignore
You say we have no future,
Do we have a chance? Do we have a chance?!
[Chorus]
In "The Crew" by 7Seconds, the artist is contemplating the state of the world and the future of humanity. As he becomes older, he can't help but think about what will happen to all of us. He dismisses the "us versus them" mentality that plagues society and suggests that in order to survive and thrive, we must care for each other and work together. The chorus implies that this will take time and effort, but it is a necessity. The artist is also worried about the threat of war looming and how it might not be too far off considering the amount of hatred and division in the world. He calls on listeners to pay attention and not ignore the warning signs.
In essence, the song is essentially a call to action, urging individuals to band together and take a stand against the issues that threaten to tear society apart. It suggests that the responsibility to make positive changes lies with each and every one of us. The song also touches on themes of unity, the dangers of prejudice, and the importance of hope.

The older I become
As I grow older
I can't help thinking hard about,
I cannot help but contemplate
What's really gonna happen,
What the future holds for us
And what's in store for
And what lies ahead for us
Us and them is bullshit,
The idea of division between us and them is foolish
And if we're gonna make it work
If we want to succeed
We've gotta care together
We need to work together with compassion
And see this too the end, see it to the end
And persevere until we achieve our goal
It'll take some time to fix it up
It will take a considerable amount of time to solve the problem
But that is something we must do,
But it is something we must do to create a better world
With solid hearts and clearer minds,
With determination and clarity of thought
We'll raise our voice and blast right through.
We will speak up and break through any obstacles
We'll stop the ones who fuck it up,
We will prevent those who mess things up
And show the world that they can't stop the crew.
And demonstrate to the world that they cannot stop our unity
The crew is me, the crew is you, yeah we're the crew!
We are all part of this crew and it is up to us to make a difference
The threat of war ain't over,
The possibility of war still exists
And yes I fear it's getting near,
And I am afraid that it is becoming more likely
With all this hate inside us,
With all the negativity within us
It all may just start.
It could all just begin
Here now will you listen,
Will you listen to me now
Or would you rather just ignore
Or would you prefer to disregard
You say we have no future,
If you think we have no future
Do we have a chance? Do we have a chance?!
Do we still have hope? Do we still have hope?!
[Chorus]

One of the best Hardcore bands ever. One of my all time favorite records. Definitely one of the funnest shows. Influenced so many bands for over three decades. SXE, but accepted everyone. Scene unity comes first. Never missed them when they played in SLC. 46, and still a Hardcore kid. Like Kevin says "I'm gonna stay young until I die"!
@silvershade3265
+Reid Ellis "SXE, but accepted everyone. Scene unity comes first". You nailed it! :) At that time (I'm also 46) SXE was all about staying clean from drugs and booze, caring and showing respect to your partner.
Nothing to do with the set of rules that it has become for many people in recent years.
And yes one of the best hc bands, for sure my favourite. Countless time have I listened to this record!
@dembones2560
Possibly the greatest punk album ever made. Seriously
@cjref67
One of my all time favorite albums. Awesome from beginning to end!!
