  • I want this video on my INNO 89 unit.

  • Sadly the only True Peace this world will ever see in when all Humans are dead

  • It sends tidal waves of disgust down my spine. Tom Waits is the greatest genius on earth - because he realized he can't change anything.

  • @OpalMarble

    you could't be more certain

  • As an Arab Christian who lives in Israel ! I'm sick of living here in the Middle East ! i'm finishing my studies and going to live in the West !

    No place for peaceful people who want a normal decent life here ! 

  • @Catholic118 Calgary or Edmonton here in Canada would be a pretty good choice. Alberta is sort of like the Texas of Canada, except without the shitty economy or Civil War re-enactors.

  • @ThePsychoReturns Well , I do love Canada ! but Immigration is a far dream . I'll feel guilty if I leave these lands to war seekers !

  • @Catholic118 Can't blame you for that, but if I was in your shoes, I'd tell them that they can have it. No sense pissing up that rope.

  • @ThePsychoReturns Someone has to fix it ! We have been resisting for generations , we're still struggling , and we will keep fighting evil with Love, Science and Modernization!

    Two Neighboring Countries for two nations , living in Harmony and peace , respecting all religious , racial or national minorities , and respecting all human rights regardless to a person's race, religion , color , gender , sexual orientation or origin !

    That's what we dream about !

  • @Catholic118 I don't think that'll happen unless a whole lot of assholes are sent out to sea. There are some people who just can't be convinced with an act of kindness.

  • @ThePsychoReturns Unfortunately you're right !

  • this is nothing short of fabulous. hall of fame baby! finally

  • i think this is one of the best protest songs ever

  • @MegaMegalomaniac Have you heard "Hoist That Rag"?

  • @MegaMegalomaniac I have now! its a great tune man, thanx for telling me

  • the road to peace is the road to god

    god is never lost

    ego is the illusion that we lost him

    ego creates wars. just for people to wake up and wish to get back to god

  • @gmajorrr Which is why god personally wages war on everything he doesn't like without ever actually fixing anything.

  • @ThePsychoReturns

    man, god is not a person, and doesnt do anything personally

  • @gmajorrr According to the bible, he does. But I don't have any reason to believe he does anything at all..

  • @gmajorrr Your Christian God is no more cogent or valid than any of the ancient Gods, or various religions that have come into being since Christianity's inception. It's an indoctrinated concept; an invention that humans created to deal with a lack of understanding and to maintain power structures. While there may be a force that fits into the "God" category, it is not your wrathful, vain, insecure biblical God, and it never will be, no matter how hard you pray to the ether.

  • @DHScherocha

    hey, I'm not Christian at all more Jewish, but i don't practice any religion. my god is valid as much as Jesus, Alla, Buddha or the ancient god. I'm ok with all of them. it's all one anyway. god is not a concept. it's more of an experience. ego wants to maintain power structures, ego is wrathful, vain, insecure.

    peace!!!

  • @DHScherocha I think you're replying to the wrong person.

  • @ThePsychoReturns lol sure am. Would it be lame to copy past it? Nah. Flame on!

  • the people of Israel and the religious right would/could never agree with the message here. If we continue on this Road to Peace ............it isn't going to matter before long. First time I've heard it~very true and very sad.

  • Is humanity lost on the road to peace, co- inhabitance while the earth dies screaming. Love thy brother as thyself, love you Tom Waits & the truth in this song.

  • "Maybe God himself is lost and needs help" I love this song it's profound and lyrical

    about such a sad & tragic situation.

  • Waits deserves much for this. The Nobel Peace Prize, perhaps?

  • @alexblank91 Well, he's a 2011 inductee to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame, for what that's worth.

  • @ThePsychoReturns ...well they could have inducted him a long while ago ...

  • @RustyPease No argument here.

  • @alexblank91 Probably not. Obama's due for another one for his peace solutions for Libya.

  • this is pretty deep. The lyrics and tune are a lot different from most other anti-war songs. The message in this song is way more upfront and you can clearly see what he's trying to say.

    I like it, and I think more people should make songs like this :D

  • @ninjaEliXD That's Tom Waits for you. This guy's the best.

  • this song breaks my heart and brings me to tears with each and every listen.

  • @maximumunicorns Tom's got a lot of songs like that.

  • @maximumunicorns i feel the same way. it always happens to me when i listen to this song or for example living with war by neil young. it's crazy how much a song can express and how deep the feeling is you get when listening. it shows that these artists really meant it and put their soul into this songs.

  • Anyone feel like posting a synopsis? Had it playing from the other room and it sounded like "Israel is the devil". Pretty close?

  • @MichaelBlue72 Not really. It's more of a condemnation of the whole stupid war.

    Tom Waits isn't really the sort of guy who just picks sides like that.

  • @ThePsychoReturns OK then. I only heard the parts about Israel blowing up kids or something. Thanks!

  • @MichaelBlue72 No problem.

  • My god. This song makes more since more than I thought

  • OMG! This song puts it so beautifully as many have done before. Problem is that no one is really listening.

  • Well if, Tom Waits does it, someone is listening.
