Why We Rated This on for Ages 15 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    A complex message that includes despair over feeling outcast. Lyrics include the lines: "I hyperventilate / Looking for help / Somehow, somewhere, and no one cares / I'm my own worst enemy / I've given up / I'm sick of feeling." And this: "Is there nothing you can say? / Take this all away / I'm suffocating / Tell me what the f--k is wrong with me?"

     

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    The word f--k appears throughout the performance, both in song lyrics and between-song commentary by the band; the word is dropped full-force during Jay-Z's cameo.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Road to Revolution: Live at Milton Keynes

Parents need to know that these songs contain brooding lyrics about feeling depressed and failing to fit in. As usual, the band doesn't shy away from using the word f--k, though they don't rely on it, either.
