Give It All is a song and single by the melodic hardcore band Rise Against. It is a fast paced song with a slower, chant-along bridge. It runs at two minutes and 50 seconds. The video for the song features the band playing in a Chicago Transit Authority 'L' train with a small moshpit, and shots of a group of office workers sneaking out at night and doing various activities. They include 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 McDonald's 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 a co-worker's door . It's considered by many fans the best song of the band.

The song was used as the 'soundtrack' (most likely illegally) in the popular EMCMonkey.com video, Urban Ninja.
