"Give It All" is a song by American punk rock band Rise Against, the song is released as the first single from their third album, Siren Song of the Counter Culture. It is a fast paced song with a slower, chant-along bridge, with all running at two minutes and fifty seconds. It reached a peak position of number thirty-seven on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.[1]
This song is featured in Rock Band 2 and appears in the Need For Speed: Underground 2 and FlatOut 2 soundtrack and also appears in MX vs. ATV Unleashed and on the soundtrack of WWE WrestleMania 21.
The video, directed by James Cox and produced by Justin Cronkite, features the band playing in a Chicago Transit Authority 'L' train with a small mosh pit, and shots of a group of office workers sneaking out at night doing various activities. They include swapping a video of soldiers in peacetime to soldiers in wartime, replacing a bumper sticker that reads "Four More Years" to "One More Month," drawing plastic surgery marks on a poster for a model, putting a sticker on a tiger cage at a zoo that reads, "I've spent my entire life trapped in a cage," and writing "42 grams of heart attack" on a McDonalds billboard advertising the Big Mac. In the end they dress into office clothes and go to work. Just before it ends, one of the office workers slaps the same sticker put on the tiger cage on the CEO's door.

Give It All (がんばっていきまっしょい Ganbatte Ikimasshoi) is a 1998 Japanese film directed by Itsumichi Isomura.
"Give It All" is a song recorded by American rock band Train for their seventh studio album Bulletproof Picasso. It was released on May 19, 2015, as the fourth single from the album.
Rise Against is an American melodic hardcore band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1999. The band's current line-up comprises vocalist/rhythm guitarist Tim McIlrath, lead guitarist Zach Blair, bassist Joe Principe and drummer Brandon Barnes. Former members are guitarists Dan Wlekinski, Kevin White, Todd Mohney and Chris Chasse, and drummers Toni Tintari and Dan Lumley.
The band spent its first four years signed to the independent record label Fat Wreck Chords, on which it released two studio albums, The Unraveling (2001) and Revolutions per Minute (2003). Both the albums met with considerable underground success, and in 2003 the band signed with the major label Geffen. Their major label debut Siren Song of the Counter Culture (2004) brought the band mainstream success, producing several successful singles. Their next two albums, The Sufferer & the Witness (2006) and Appeal to Reason (2008), were also successful and peaked at number ten and number three on the Billboard 200 chart, respectively. Appeal to Reason was followed three years later by Endgame (2011). All four albums released via Geffen were certified platinum in Canada, while three of these albums were certified gold in the United States.
can you hear the desperate cries that are calling out your name?
twisting your arms, holding out their hands
and tugging at your sleeve,
do you feel this underlying sense of urgency
or are you as blind as me?
I hit the ground and I'm still running
but I need a place to stay tonight,
I swear I'll be gone in the morning
I just need somewhere now
I can't bear the thought of losing,
I dread the attention winning brings
and ever since the day I came here
I can stand without your strings
I'm so sick of all these people
but I'm scared to be alone
and if this life has taught me anything
I forgot it long ago and so I
hit the ground and I'm still running
but I need a place to stay tonight,
I swear I'll be gone in the morning
I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes
hit the bridge and I'm still running
but I need a place to stay tonight,
I swear I'll be gone in the morning
I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes
the heart is something you can't control
we either choose to follow or be left on our own
so we're leaving here on a less-traveled road
as our desperate cries grow louder,
I know we're getting close, getting close
And so I hit the ground and I'm still running
but I need a place to stay tonight,
I swear I'll be gone in the morning
I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes
hit the bridge and I'm still running
but I need a place to stay tonight,
I swear I'll be gone in the morning
