Politically-minded punks Rise Against are stepping up their game, upgrading the recent lyric video treatment of The Black Market's "I Don't Want to Be Here Anymore" with a fuller visual experience focusing on an anti-violence message.

Though the clip does find the band performing the speedy single, more compelling are vignettes of a pair of Chicago youths talking about neighbourhood gun violence. The video likewise pair the performance footage with news clips of the Nigerian schoolgirl abductions, stats on militias, and the stark truth that the world has rarely lived in peace.
