Transcription

Lyrics

According to interviews with lead singer and guitarist Daniel Johns in January 1995 and 1996, the song and its lyrics are inspired by the Bosnian War:[3]

"It's pretty stupid, war, like that. So, it seemed the right thing to write a song about, rather than about the usual--girls or whatever. It took about a half an hour; it came straight to my head."[4][5]

Music video

The Australian music video was directed by Robert Hambling and filmed at a Silverchair concert in Sydney, Australia.[6][7] The American music video was directed by Peter Christopherson.[8]
