Dick Cheney should be required to listen to this song every day for the rest of his life. Oh yeah, and spend the rest of that life in prison.

Play this on the radio you motherfuckers.

Greatest anti-war song ever. No anger, no hatred. Just sorrow and sadness.

Don't really understand why everybody seems to be comparing the Kinks and the Beatles in all of these videos, I didn't grow up in that time. For me, it's no contest; I've only recently started listening to the Kinks, but all of their work from this era is deep and meaningful. Most of the Beatles songs' that I've heard are just superficial and quite hollow.

this song surely will humble you to the core!

Some mothers' son is lying in a field - ..... Somewhere - someone is cryin' .... just too epic of a anti-battle hymn ,....

The beatles and the kinks ar both amazing, although I like the beatles slightly more simply because the kinks didn't have the same consistancy in the 70s and onwards. But it is to bad that the kinks never reached the same amount of popularity as the beatles, stones, beach boys and other great bands back then, they desirved it for sure.

Naw, it's not Sgt. Peppers. It's Pink Floyd. Think about the war songs in the Wall or the Final Cut. This precedes all of them. And arguably beats them all. Just devastating stuff.

This has been running through my head all morning. What a powerful piece.

Now - quickly - listen to Sgt. Pepper's. The difference? This work is timeless. It's as fresh and powerful as it was thirty years ago, the day it was cut.
