The Postal Service - This Place Is A Prison w/ Lyrics

[emohottie54]

I really wish this song would be put on The Hunger Games soundtrack.

[Alphabetlife]

I've been listening to this for hours straight

[MsBitch56]

When I hear the beat, I hear snow crunching under combat boots. I love it.

[Squirrelzrawesome22]

It's funny, I'm from the town this song was written about, and I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!! :D Love the postal service for writing this song!!! I mean, they're awesome anyway, but this just amplifies their awesomeness!!!

[seeitisme]

Now that we apparently have censorship this is the sing we'll sing

[Dessaliciouss]

@seeitisme geezus you're right.. i'm about to tumblr about it...

[kyleditt]

@seeitisme ..damn..

[DustinHoltz]

3 guards armed to the teeth watched this video

[nicklofton]

truly an amazing video

[midnightwallflower]

@SuperMusicPlaylist Is it hard to see the deep end from the shallow side?

[SuperMusicPlaylist]

you guys are fucking stupid, this song is about a casino! there is not deep meaning about this song and the world. fucking emo fags

[Amara389]

@SuperMusicPlaylist But people can interpret it any way they want. If some people think that it's about the world right now, then that's that. Calm yourself.

[Amara389]

@ItsTheLocalNews And you're a douche, but you don't see me telling everyone. I am right, aren't I?

[ItsTheLocalNews]

@Amara389 LOL. No, ur wrong. goodbye 

[Amara389]

@ItsTheLocalNews Alright, see you :) Just rethink life a bit, okay? Cheers.

[ItsTheLocalNews]

@Amara389 yea, i think u should b the one rethinking life. BYE

[ItsTheLocalNews]

@SuperMusicPlaylist your worthless.

[SuperMusicPlaylist]

@ItsTheLocalNews blow me fag

[MissValBear]

this song madde me cry so hard when i first heard it.

i felt that my parents hated me at the time...

and i found this song on my sister ipod

i felt like ther was nothing good in the world

i cried all night..

[TheYourmother3210]

brings back memories everytime i listen to this

[rwacowboys]

Nice work, interesting take!

[rwacowboys]

Nice work, interesting take!

[geekmago]

VERY GOOD VERRY VERRY GOOD

[mychemicalromancesky]

the meaning in this song is felt so deep, and this song correlates whith this terrible world we live in every day.

[EmilyluvsMCRx]

just like my school......but i'm due to be released in June lol good song btw

[destinedthr33]

So depressing yet so nice to listen to.

[BRJMK31]

This song is so creepy...I LOVE IT!!!

[DSnapshot]

My fav. And the first I've heard, seems like it was long, long ago.. ;)

[3VOLution3NO]

i listened to TPS for years now and never realized what he really meant! God help us all.

[TasteTheSourRainbow]

@abigailboogie sum1 who can't face the ugliness of world and in themselves too

[Soldierman088]

amazing work, and i am not sure if you did this on purpose, but the contrast between celebrities/politicans and soldiers/poor people is amaizing

[Dessaliciouss]

@Soldierman088 i really appreciate your compliments! and yes i did want to show a contrast in EVERYONE, because we're all human and we get caught up in our own lives and forget. We make this world... not just one person can make a difference, we all can.

[iwillwalkbyfaith753]

@Dessaliciouss Wonderful wonderful work!!

[chaozchild]

Awesome job! I think you did a great job not just for then but even now!

[Dessaliciouss]

@chaozchild thank you! i truly appreciate that. i did my best : ) but now it's 2011! maybe i should construct an upgraded video?

[TasteTheSourRainbow]

@Dessaliciouss it would be cool to make another video 2 represent 2011 to remind everyone to look at themselves in the mirror every once in while, and just becuz it would be an amazing video

[gogo116]

I love this song, and this video is the best here. Awesome!

[Dessaliciouss]

@gogo116 thanks!!! :)

[m27alb042]

[Dessaliciouss]

[Dessaliciouss]

@m27alb042 thank you!

[Invisiblefiyah]

i know a lot of you are goin through the same shit as i am, probably worse, but in any case i still wuv you. you have friends among youtube comments, and you wont have to wander the darkness alone anymore.

[Dessaliciouss]

@Invisiblefiyah you're too kind.

[KMR617]

@Invisiblefiyah well said my friend :)

I hear: There's guards at the on ramps, armed to the teeth

Something that you agree on?

/Robert

[Dessaliciouss]

@Leondrian sure. i picked up those lyrics online somewhere.

[g00dapple]

Someone said the end part was about a bar in Seattle called the ChaCha lounge. I've been there many times, and this song describes it well.

[Coldplay319]

How long must I wait?.... This song defintly has a lot of meaning behind it and this video explains it very well

[mrN1xxsun]

Song fits the video. Makes me ashamed to be a part of a ugly world though.

[Dessaliciouss]

@mrN1xxsun the grass is always greener on the other side... :)

[mrN1xxsun]

@Dessaliciouss the grass is greener where you choose to water. ;)

[PalmTreeMechanism]

It's about Seattle.

[skrewuguys]

it is. and it's almost perfect in describing daily life. lol. wow.

[Pikachu0cupcake]

0:44 banksy<3!!!

[Dessaliciouss]

@Pikachu0cupcake is the ish!

[TheGreatRman]

great song power full video

[Dessaliciouss]

@TheGreatRman thank you :)

[VirginiaRose16]

This is a great song.

[SmellyBellyEllie]

Beautiful video.

[MySerpentine]

I like the song--comparing a fancy party to a prison works surprisingly well, since most rich people are trapped in their own greed.

[moxito1]

our mind is the only prison and its full of meaningless things that others want us to do in our lives. i wanna see the end !

[RkandJz]

who's the guy at 3:30?? never seen him in my life! idk y he is in this vid so much. he shure is funny looking thoughhhhh.....

♫good song♫

[gcbaby99]

umm former US president george bush?

[singstaryo]

wow...wow....oh my god this is amazing.

[mstall392]

this song is amasing!!! I dont love the postal serivce, but i do love Ben Gibburd! Definatly one of my favorites! Last night i saw a dance and they used this song, now whenever I hear it i think of the dancing...amasing

[RkandJz]

mstall392 u spelt amasing wrong its amazing just fyi

[Dessaliciouss]

@RkandJz OOPS lol thanks.

[ItsMeg93]

this is a good video. well done

the last picture is so sad i cant bare to look at it =[

[midnightthebunny]

who is the guy at 3:15

[Dessaliciouss]

cisco adler.

[wooptyfriggindoo]

I'm pretty sure

"Ther're guards at the on ramps armed to be teeth"

should be

"There're gaurds at the onramps, armed to the teeth"

[danteisbrutal]

the worlds have meaning .

[Dessaliciouss]

most definitely!

[united3000]

great song, and a good video (:

[Dessaliciouss]

thanks :) greatly appreciated <3

[Zerinity42]

Your video is amazing. Well done and thought out. You are a hero of all the non-conformast movement. I have always loved The Postal Service. This was the best song you could have picked to convey your message. Well done and BRAVO!

[Dessaliciouss]

thank you! the compliment is greatly appreciated. hope to make a meaningful video again soon. have any suggestions on what you would like to see?

[RosalieNijsen]

THIS SONG hurts me to the bone... I don't exactly know why, but it does..... unfortunately. It makes me thinks about all the contradiction in the world and how little we understand and appreciate of all great meanings in this one life we have..

[Dessaliciouss]

hopefully my video portrayed that for you....

fuck contradiction...
