Zanadu is the perfect world we cannot reach because there is always hate and greed ,needs to be controlled. Many of the music Greats have passed too soon.. Gordon Lightfoot and Paul Simon and their decent in life must be a living Hell My God I never heard this song before, despite having some of his later work memorized to this day. I think I was in 8th or 9th grade when he died. Many aren't just standing and watching - they're sowing the seeds of hate themselves. Dave Thompson Dylan surfed on the Jew nepotism train.
They control entertainment. Just because a thousand Jew promoters say a fellow Jew has talent means nothing. The game is rigged. You've been played son. It's the Jew m. Read the Talmud. Your hair will stand up like a cartoon character. This man never fails to amaze me.. Greetings from Bangladesh.
Hits the needle on the head in describing the hypocrasy and the religious right. The NRA should listen to this song! You missed his whole meaning, it has nothing to do with what you think it does, listen again, and leave your narrow mind out of the song Its not religion or the NRA who sends people to war, its the elected politicians if you want someone to blame for your life, outside of you, look at who your voting for Take care Love this song.
Played it a million times back in the day. Still play it now. In the late 80's while my friends were listening to Def Leppard, I was listening to Croce. Jim Croce has such a powerful way to make you visualize his songs.
For instance, when you offer an olive branch, it is one man handing a branch to another. A spear could be held in the same manner. Holding out a flower, but take away the flower, and make it a gun. The arm's position doesn't actually change all that much. This can also be noticed in other songs not the exact same situation with this "exact" imagery, but it is still there. I thought an olive branch is a sign of peace? Look at the eagle emblem. It holds olive branches in one claw and spears in the other.
Political symbols of peace and war. A song like this will always be relevant, for as long as we have and will walk the earth.
Beautifull song, it is a pity Jim died so early. Jan I like his music since I first discovered it when I was 13! A Dutch fan. When we lost jim we lost a grate musician and I would say a peace of music history Jim Croce. Jim I know you are somewhere watching and I just wanted to say thank you.
Without you I don't know if I could have made it. Just set back and watch as we turn this world on it's head! When I was a kid many years ago this man's music got me through a lot of crap. Oh man, I thought I'd heard all of Jim Croce's best songs but I came across this one for the first time today.

Tulip Absolutely the Best! I grew up listening to him and was about 11 when his plane crashed. After all these years I still have most of his songs memorized word for word. I've been listening to Croce since I was a baby. Still do and have most of his records. I wish I could have seen him in concert, now that would have been priceless. Jim Croce was an important voice in the 's. He was taken from us much too soon. I agree; this song is perhaps more true today than it was 40 years ago. I was a kid when Jim Croce died, but I was familiar his top 40 songs.
Today was the first time I heard this song, and my opinion of Jim just went up. This came out on the compilation album "Down the Highway" in Jim was killed in I am not sure if it was released at all during his lifetime. What a prescient and hard-hitting song. When did he write this? Does anyone know what album this was on, if any?? Olive branches turn to spears When you flowers turn to guns.
I will say "he" is the man who made me whole. If my women would realize the some way. Jim Croce was one of those great writers whose Lyrics are timeless. Bad Bad Leroy Brown. Walkin' Back to Georgia.
