@brianburns5 When Tom toured Alcatraz, he saw "Hell Broke Luce" was carved into a wall. He was told it was done during a prison riot. Tom said "At first I wanted to correct it, but then I thought "Hey, there was a riot going on--that's a whole letter shorter"
Well, that's what he tells people in interviews anyway :P
i dont like this song as much as the others, some of the lyrics are just bizarre like rhyming for the sake of it. i love the rest of the album tho, and some parts of this song are ok but i think it is the worst on the album, in my opinion

it's like he' not even trying anymore. this is just weird for the sake of being weird. this album is terrible when compared to Mule Varieations, Real Gone, Alice, Blue Valentine and Bone Machine
Good job, sir!

This song is about a Marine, Jeff Lucey, who fought in Iraq, who suffered from PTSD and committed suicide because couldn't deal with the war

@Rwolfproductions i think the rhyming is quite tongue in cheek. its based on and riffs on an old marching song that did very much the same thing
