Makes me cry every time i listen to it. The first time i heard it, i saw him preform it, kind of unaware of the meaning of the song. Once i listened to it again multiple times, i understood how deep the message was, and how the ending is so sarcastic, and how he leaves the song kind of unfinished... "This twisted wreckage down main street will bring us all together in the end, and we'll go marching down the road to freedom", obviously the opposite of what the whole song is trying to say. He's also going back and forth between these thoughts of war and the thoughts of love, being with the one you love on an island, and losing your children in a war. It's a cery powerful song!
