We're Only Gonna Die For Our Own Arrogance

Sublime · 40 Oz. To Freedom [1992]

Early man walked away as modern man took control

Their minds weren't all the same, to conquer was their goal

So he built his great empire and he slaughtered his own kind

He died a confused man killed himself with his own mind



Early man walked away as modern man took control

Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal

So he built his great empire and he slaughtered his own kind

He died a confused man and he killed himself with his own mind...

LET'S GO!!

We're only gonna die from our own arrogance

That's why we might as well take our time

This track by Sublime serves as a gritty, funk-infused anthem from their 1992 album 40 Oz. To Freedom. The song captures the band's signature blend of surf rock, reggae, and hip-hop, delivering a message of fatalistic pride that resonated deeply with audiences in the early 1990s. With its driving bassline and characteristic vocal delivery, the recording exemplifies the group's ability to fuse diverse musical influences into a cohesive sound. As a staple of their discography, it remains a defining piece of West Coast alternative rock history, often cited for its raw energy and cultural impact during the era of the album.
