I like the song, helps remind us about how and why we fight wars.... if we've lost the why (the purpose of the war)... we'll end up becoming entranced to the hows (ways in winning the war)... only to become the devils we raised our fists against in the first place.
@bigjoe777 speak from the soul with purity not in vengence basically what your saying very honorable and respectable thank you for your words of wisdom
@MACCURRIE1 You know what else they have in common? Heroin. Kind of hard to have debt when the majority of your capital is speant on making heroin and reaping the profits.
This so os just song fucking good, the harmonizing is fantastic and maynard's voice is just amazing in this song! This is why i like A perfect circle and Tool, they are both just fantastic. Fuck the rest.
This song was originally wrote by a Canadian about the violent streak that America had in the Cold War, We traded a co-existance and peacfull demeanor (the fiddle) for that of a war machine, trying to destroy Communism (the drum). America did everything besides invasion (in some places they did this too) to stop countries from becoming Communist. It made us appear evil to many nations, our neighbor Canada included. Its not about New Order bullshit-just the Cold War
@DeeM10123 Ironically or so it seems, America is acting the devil's advocate again, with the control on the internet. America seems to want nothing more than ultimate control of everything.
Amazing voice. More that just harmonizing, you can actually feel the vibrations. Maynard is one exceedingly impressive artist. A gestalt, if you will. Being that as a whole, he is greater than the sum of all his parts. Peace to you all, pleasant journeys, Peace, Love, Light, Always
@ruinerfixxxer you are a douche bag because you think that the only song you like from this album is the only good song on the album. see? it goes right back to you.
@TheSecularMonk Sshh, he's obviously retarded, just leave him be. Didn't your mother ever tell you not to pick on kids with mental disabilities? Just because he has no taste in music and doesn't realize that this entire album is an amazing work in art, doesn't mean you should make fun of him for how handicapped he is. Smh.
This lies at at No. 7 of my "100 Greatest Covers Ever" playlist...
Check it out out and give me some tips or feedback as to where things should be placed, coz I can only taste my own musical taste buds. This song moves me soooo much, I'm a sucker for a good Harmony.
Probably my favourite cover ever! I know theres so many more. But this just hits me in all the right musical g spots. "100 greatest covers ever" definitely deserves that stamp of approval from a fool like me. Absolutely my favourite harmonies ever.
Maynard couldn't be president , he doesn't like the spot light , he would have a speech from the front of the white house while every one else is in back , but then again , maybe he would put the people before every thing else , take care of the peoples need , i can go for the , i second Maynard for president
Peace is great but it will never be. So long as people have their differences and those people are given some form of power then there will be no peace. still relative peace is a good thing to strive for i think
wavex28 see i dont believe that for one second , On December 8th 1980 the man that was a hug advocate for peace was shot outside his home , for another reason every one knows what peace is but there is no money in it
If we had peace there would be no war to compare it to, and the drummer would be useless. There would be no rhtyhm to keep if the war were to end, just silence. Welcome to humanity.
@Blakkstorm if there were no war than there really wouldnt be peace to compare it to. we would just be here. Im not sure if humanity is civilized yet. we should be looking past our differences. nice post :)
Nature is predatory...our species is no different. Keep hope alive that somehow, generations from now, there will be much more HUMANITY in people- not less.
If we could put all of the money and energy we put into destruction and isolation into unification and construction, just imagine what we could become.
The world is naturally warlike, not just the United States. The British had to maintain her empire somehow, same goes with the ever "peaceful" French, who inadvertently started two World Wars and lay the blame on Germany.
yes America is great... just forget about how they ended the war in the pacific, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia just to name a few. too many mistakes not enough consisdency.
@redhotchilis1 you know Australia was involed in the conflicts you have mentioned. also despite Joni mitchell making this song for the US you could almost sing this song to any nation . No I am not coating my nation in gold,I am just amazed on how people think USA invented war . (peace)
@realhxq I agree its BS how most of the world act like america is the start of every main issue this world has. It pisses me off that people from other countries meet one fu*ked up american and assume that all other americans will be just as fu*ked up as that one person. Whatever happened to actually meeting a person before you judge them.
@babal1ty I have never killed. My father, brothers, cousins...Have, I will never hold that against them. They were doing what they were taught was right. Have you?
@natashaTbird777 no i didnt. so our nature lets us not to killing anybody right? we should stop blaming our very "nature" for the sins we commited. a better world is possible with better people. we should teach our children not the patriotism, jihad or honor. we should teach them love.
@babal1ty I agree about teaching children love. I am a peaceful person. But I dont think peace is possible as of now. I think the world needs to stop thinking about wars with other countries and start to focus on their youth. There is still hope for our youth but I doubt most will care about the wars happening with in their countries, most will worry about wars with other countries.
I don't believe in peace. Not because I like war but because it's just not gonna happen. We humans are animals, we belong in tribes. Can a lion ever coexist with a zebra without killing it? No. We're the same but we're different thus we will always try to kill the other for whatever reason that may be.
Maynard you've done it yet again. First you've sent chills down our spines in the psychedelic vocals you've synchronized in the songs you've done with tool. And now we're shaking again. If all of today's artists saw the world the way you did, it'd be a beautiful world. Only if your influence struck all the people of the world. <3

@WaveX28 lol I don't know anyone demanding an a new iphone but I do see people demanding that their people obey them or they get gassed, bombed, or killed in the streets. Go to the middle east and tell the jihadists and muslism brotherhood to put their iphones down and make peace and see how far that gets you.
@WaveX28 Wars aren't all that bad. Some times there just isn't anything a certain group of people can talk out with an other. I think we choose to go to war too quickly but it's not always bad choice.
@magicmark1292 When the truth takes hold of your heart your perception will be cleansed along with it. Thou shalt not kill. It's not a suggestion. Also, Love one another. Also, not a suggestion. When the truth takes command of you through no fault of your own, you see the mathematical symmetry in the truth, and you rejoice. I am expected to see many people recoil at this truth, they are not at fault, it is quite natural, and is actually one of the key indicators that it is the TRUTH
@WaveX28 Yes you shouldn't kill but what if some one is attempting to take your life? Are you to just let them? I wouldn't, and I'm sure "God" would understand and forgive one for taking the life of another. I have no problem with any religion or any non violent means of protest or what not. Sometimes you have to fight for what you believe in.
COME YOU MASTERS OF WAR YOU THAT BUILD THE BIG GUNS YOU THAT BUILD THE DEATH PLANES YOU THAT BUILD ALL THE BOMBS YOU THAT HIDE BEHIND WALLS...WHO IS IT BUILDING THE BOMBS AND PLANES AND GUNS?
@MagicKamek Oh yeah you know it man. You hit the nail right on the head on that one. I think it's cool that a person will risk their life for their beliefs rather than act like the little kids that think that if you protest enough someone else will do it for you.
@magicmark1292 well, and if youre beliefs are wrong? are you going to resolve anything killing people who dont think like you? if thats the case all people will kill everybody because they dont have their beliefs, actualy thats what happens and thats why the world is so fucked up
@MagicKamek No people kill other people over their beliefs because one group tries to force their beliefs on to the other. Your obviously extremely oblivious to how some war works. Why do you think the AQ attacks the US? Because we try to force our system on everyone else. Vietnam? How did that one go? Oh yeah we tried to force democracy on them when the country was half communist.
@magicmark1292 do you remember salvador allende? US make sure he was dead helping Pinochet to gain the control of the country, and why? because salvador allende was socialist and US cant control conuntries like that. And pinochet was a real son of a bitch who made chile sufer as hell only because US wanted an ally there. Why do US has to force their system and beliefs in other countries? isnt other countries free of doing whatever they want? Isnt US who claims about freedom over all?
@magicmark1292 and like allende there are many : south corea war, irak war, Che guevara, and tried also to kill Fidel Castro, curiously there are 2 things US has shame of : vietnam war and bay of pigs, the 2 things in which they couldnt force things their way.
@MagicKamek Look dude, I don't disagree with you about that at all. I personally think Vietnam was a complete cluster fuck. It didn't help that we forced our own people to fit it and I personally think that's were we went wrong. Yes the Us has fucked up. I'm not saying we are perfect. Neither are other countries. So why only talk shit about the US?
@magicmark1292 we talk of US because US is the country who controls what happens in the world, the world's economy depends heavily in US as the capitalist sistem as it is was designed by US, and because this song is about US lol
@magicmark1292 I think you're the one oblivious as to how war works. It's not about beliefs this time. That's what you've been lead to believe. In reality, it's about resources. As all wars fought from the dawn of time have been fought for.
@WaveX28@WaveX28 Yes, there is a reason. The universe we live in is inherently chaotic. It's nested deep within our psyches. We try to claim that we're not animals anymore but that is EXACTLY what we are.
The world isn't right, that's fine. I'm okay with what we got. Terrible and beautiful and dreadful and pleasant all at the same time.
@jreed136 This thinking is why people like you are always a hindrance to progress. If you submit to contentedness you haven't realized there is no progress to be made, you have simply blocked any progress that may have occurred.
@randosity42 People like me? I believe in peace, I -want- peace. I live with very, very little. Do you think I'm content? No! No I am not. What I am is a realist. I don't see the world through rose colored glasses and I refuse to.
You can work on the world that you wish were there, or you can work with what you've got.
@randosity42 Whatever you consider progress anyways. We're living and learning a little every day. Regressing a bit, progressing a bit. That's progress to me.
Things won't ever change over night. The world needs to take its course.
@jreed136 have oyu seen the last zeitgeist? its not posible to ignore the reality and " try to live with it", because if we we "try to", were going to end with this planet and all its life
@MagicKamek We're not going to end this planet. Don't be so god damned arrogant. Enough of your New Age, wishy washy, naive crap. The Last Zeitgeist? The movie? Oh god. OH GOD. This is why I'm done responding to you.
I can ignore any and all false realities conspiracy theorists try to shove into my face. Your reality is not the actual reality.
@jreed136 look whos being the arrogant... the one who claims to have the absolute truth, maybe that movie is exagerated and there is no conspiracy, but the fact, is that were destroying our planet and all the life in it and that is the truth, its not me who says it, there are scientific proofs of it. Probably you are american, thinking yourself indestructible, better and than all people, not saying all americans are, but only them can be like that arrogant.
@jreed136 Even so if your right nothing happens, if im right we lose it all. Prevention is not going to hurt you, and think for a better world is necesary at all times, anything less would be mediocre and conformist
most of the population on planet earth will in all probability be annihilated by the new world order. That includes you and me. The only survivors will probably be scattered groups of resistance in hiding and the all powerful illuminate who will whittle the rest of us away into dust.
It took me years and I thought APC was just being lazy to make a cover album. Now I am seeing these songs were made years ago in protest and awareness of what was going on in their time and now history is repeating itself and we havent learned that war is not the answer. These APC songs have made me look into what each of these songs was representing at the time and were making the same mistakes as then...
you make it sound like the US is some war mongering military state. in most cases, it is trying to preserve peace in the middle east. now that can be argued, but we are pulling out of iraq and afghanistan as we speak.
@StickingWithTheUnion yet we are only invading places that have oil......why are we not in darfur or lybia? oh my friend we have all come to fear the beating of your drum
@gratefulDead619 Well, think about it. Were not going to defend the freedom of a people if were not getting something in return. It's very simple. The US thrives on oil. We have to protect our interests, as would any country trying to preserve itself.
@MadProgresser And you are a fool to come to that conclusion. How on earth are they going to become martial law states? I can't speak for the UK but the US Constitution is specifically written so that does not happen.
@MadProgresser well for one thing, the Constitution itself. Have you ever read it? Read it and then try to tell me that the US is going to enact martial law.
me ma use to sing this to me..... if not this a song that was the same........ i become a little boy again waiting for bed to this song..... i love you mamma <3
We can only hope that we will learn. Losing hope, your faith in humanity, will only lead to a pessimism that will never cease. We must maintain optimism, and look forward to the day that we will learn how to end war. But, blind optimism aside...I do not believe that change will happen, if things continue the way they have been. Effort is not what will bring forth the change, rather a drastic occurance to snap the sheep out of their hypnotized trance of obedience.
There have been many great sparks that have inspired people across the world, but unless people are willing to put effort toward the cause, things will always simmer back down. It will not be one large shove that changes humanity, rather a long, constant push.
There is no need for blind optimism, nor self destructive pessimism, only awareness, realization, and a desire to help humanity, not forsake it.
@GuardianDZA Awareness, realization, and a desire to help is meaningless if only a few people unify via realization. We must wait until the day more can see the truth.
I completely agree that it will take a much larger amount of individuals with said mindset to truly change humanity. Waiting, however, is not the answer.
It is the obligation of all who have come to reach this level of consciousness to teach others, to guide them to this realization. It is in this way that we can assure there is change within humanity.
Anything else would be a selfish waste of great potential.
@GuardianDZA its simple really. all throughout history, when peace was possible, the human race has always been at war with something. im not saying we were always fighting but it never lasts long.
but what you said is also true. if we could get world peace it would take the world.

@WaveX28 lol I don't know anyone demanding an a new iphone but I do see people demanding that their people obey them or they get gassed, bombed, or killed in the streets. Go to the middle east and tell the jihadists and muslism brotherhood to put their iphones down and make peace and see how far that gets you.

@WaveX28 Wars aren't all that bad. Some times there just isn't anything a certain group of people can talk out with an other. I think we choose to go to war too quickly but it's not always bad choice.

@magicmark1292 When the truth takes hold of your heart your perception will be cleansed along with it. Thou shalt not kill. It's not a suggestion. Also, Love one another. Also, not a suggestion. When the truth takes command of you through no fault of your own, you see the mathematical symmetry in the truth, and you rejoice. I am expected to see many people recoil at this truth, they are not at fault, it is quite natural, and is actually one of the key indicators that it is the TRUTH
WaveX28 5 months ago
@WaveX28 Yes you shouldn't kill but what if some one is attempting to take your life? Are you to just let them? I wouldn't, and I'm sure "God" would understand and forgive one for taking the life of another. I have no problem with any religion or any non violent means of protest or what not. Sometimes you have to fight for what you believe in.

@magicmark1292 well, and if youre beliefs are wrong? are you going to resolve anything killing people who dont think like you? if thats the case all people will kill everybody because they dont have their beliefs, actualy thats what happens and thats why the world is so fucked up
MagicKamek 2 months ago
@MagicKamek No people kill other people over their beliefs because one group tries to force their beliefs on to the other. Your obviously extremely oblivious to how some war works. Why do you think the AQ attacks the US? Because we try to force our system on everyone else. Vietnam? How did that one go? Oh yeah we tried to force democracy on them when the country was half communist.

@magicmark1292 do you remember salvador allende? US make sure he was dead helping Pinochet to gain the control of the country, and why? because salvador allende was socialist and US cant control conuntries like that. And pinochet was a real son of a bitch who made chile sufer as hell only because US wanted an ally there. Why do US has to force their system and beliefs in other countries? isnt other countries free of doing whatever they want? Isnt US who claims about freedom over all?
MagicKamek 2 months ago
@magicmark1292 and like allende there are many : south corea war, irak war, Che guevara, and tried also to kill Fidel Castro, curiously there are 2 things US has shame of : vietnam war and bay of pigs, the 2 things in which they couldnt force things their way.
MagicKamek 2 months ago
@MagicKamek Look dude, I don't disagree with you about that at all. I personally think Vietnam was a complete cluster fuck. It didn't help that we forced our own people to fit it and I personally think that's were we went wrong. Yes the Us has fucked up. I'm not saying we are perfect. Neither are other countries. So why only talk shit about the US?
magicmark1292 2 months ago
@magicmark1292 we talk of US because US is the country who controls what happens in the world, the world's economy depends heavily in US as the capitalist sistem as it is was designed by US, and because this song is about US lol
MagicKamek 2 months ago
@magicmark1292 I think you're the one oblivious as to how war works. It's not about beliefs this time. That's what you've been lead to believe. In reality, it's about resources. As all wars fought from the dawn of time have been fought for.

It took me years and I thought APC was just being lazy to make a cover album. Now I am seeing these songs were made years ago in protest and awareness of what was going on in their time and now history is repeating itself and we havent learned that war is not the answer. These APC songs have made me look into what each of these songs was representing at the time and were making the same mistakes as then...

We can only hope that we will learn. Losing hope, your faith in humanity, will only lead to a pessimism that will never cease. We must maintain optimism, and look forward to the day that we will learn how to end war. But, blind optimism aside...I do not believe that change will happen, if things continue the way they have been. Effort is not what will bring forth the change, rather a drastic occurance to snap the sheep out of their hypnotized trance of obedience.
MrAtephobia 1 year ago
@MrAtephobia
You can do more than hope, you can act.
There have been many great sparks that have inspired people across the world, but unless people are willing to put effort toward the cause, things will always simmer back down. It will not be one large shove that changes humanity, rather a long, constant push.
There is no need for blind optimism, nor self destructive pessimism, only awareness, realization, and a desire to help humanity, not forsake it.
GuardianDZA 1 year ago
@GuardianDZA Awareness, realization, and a desire to help is meaningless if only a few people unify via realization. We must wait until the day more can see the truth.
MrAtephobia 1 year ago
@MrAtephobia
I completely agree that it will take a much larger amount of individuals with said mindset to truly change humanity. Waiting, however, is not the answer.
It is the obligation of all who have come to reach this level of consciousness to teach others, to guide them to this realization. It is in this way that we can assure there is change within humanity.
Anything else would be a selfish waste of great potential.
