Hell Broke Luce

Tom Waits

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse] I had a good home but I left   I had a good home but I left right left That big fucking bomb made me deaf deaf   A Humvee mechanic put his Kevlar on wrong I guarantee you’ll meet up with a suicide bomb [Chorus] Hell broke luce Hell broke luce [Interlude] [Verse] Big fucking ditches in the middle of the road You pay a hundred dollars just for fillin’ in the hole Listen to the general every goddamn word How many ways can you polish up a turd Left right Left left right Left right [Chorus] Hell broke luce   Hell broke luce Hell broke luce   [Verse] How is it that the only ones responsible for making this mess Got their sorry asses stapled to a goddamn desk [Chorus] Hell broke luce Hell broke luce [Verse] Left right left What did you do before the war? I was a chef I was a chef   What was your name? It was Geoff Geoff   I lost my buddy and I wept wept   I come down from the meth So I slept slept   I had a good home but I left left [Instrumental] [Verse] Pantsed at the wind for a joke    I pranced right in with the dope Glanced at her shin she said nope hope Left right left Nimrod Bodfish have you any wool Get me another body bag the body bag’s full My face was scorched scorched I miss my home I miss my porch porch Left right left    [Verse] Can I go home in March? March My stanch was a chin full of soap That rancid dinner with the Pope And Left right left       Kelly Presutto got his thumbs blown off Sergio’s developing a real bad cough Sergio’s developing a real bad cough [Chorus] And hell broke luce Hell broke luce Hell broke luce [Instrumental] [Verse] Boom went his head away And boom went Valerie huh What the hell was it that the president said? Give him a beautiful parade instead Left right left [Outro] When I was over here I never got to vote I left my arm in my coat My mom she died and never wrote We sat by the fire and ate a goat Just before he died he had a toke Now I’m home and I’m blind   And I’m broke What is next

Cette chanson évoque les conséquences désastreuses de la guerre, notamment la perte de l'innocence et la désillusion des soldats. Le narrateur, qui a quitté une vie paisible, se retrouve plongé dans un chaos brutal, fait face à des situations tragiques et absurdes, tout en questionnant la responsabilité de ceux qui orchestrent ces conflits depuis leur bureau. Les souvenirs d'un passé serein contrastent fortement avec l'horreur de la réalité militaire, révélant une profonde douleur émotionnelle et une quête désespérée de retour à la maison. Au final, elle attire notre attention sur les cicatrices invisibles laissées par la guerre, tant sur le plan physique que psychologique.
