"Hell Broke Luce" by Tom Waits from the album 'Bad As Me'

Lyrics

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
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce
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
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce
How is it that the only ones responsible for making this mess
Got their sorry asses stapled to a goddamn desk
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce
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
Pantsed at the wind for a joke
I pranced right in with the dope
Glanced at her shin she said nope
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
Can I go home in March? March
My stanch was a chin full of soap
That rancid dinner with the pope
Left, right, left
Kelly Presutto got his thumbs blown off
Sergio’s developing a real bad cough
Sergio’s developing a real bad cough
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce
Hell broke luce
Boom went his head away
And boom went Valerie
What the hell was it that the president said?
Give him a beautiful parade instead
Left, right, left
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

Fun fact: a stanch is something used to close a wound on a battlefield. He's saying his chin was split, and he stuffed the wound with soap flakes to clot it up. I bet that felt... I'll say "interesting."

Not gonna say what brought me here, but all I'll say is I'll never look at a sledge hammer the same way again.

In my opinion, this song is pretty freaking metal in spirit!

this song is straight up nightmare fuel.

Where can I find more like it?

Tom Waits- hell broke Luce is about an Iraq war veteran suffering from PTSD and depression- a Marine named Jeff Lucey who had offed himself in 2004 at the age of 23, and the lyrics are from his note

This song resonates with me so hard. He really manages to capture the chaos

One of the most metal non metal songs to exist

This reminds me of one of Hemingway's World War I poems, about a bunch of shock troops riding a truck up to the line.

Boom went his head away
And boom went Valerie, huh
What the hell was it that the president said?
Give 'em all a beautiful parade instead
And left, right, left
While 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

i'll bet Waits meant that people steal from him trough the internet when "Bad as Me" went out by saying about the internet users "A few bad apples" . Tom & Kath should get a Nobel as well.
