Add Your Thoughts 15 Comments. General Comment This is an anti-war song. Was written in the time of the Veitnam War when guys of their age were getting drafted and dying in large numbers. It was also a time when you couldn't just come out with an anti-war song if you wanted to make it as musicians I believe this was their first single , which explains why the references are veiled.

So the time of the day seems rather trivial when your buddies are dying in Nam and you are worried about being drafted.

Meanwhile all of the older crowd the ones old enough to not be drafted are running around worried about making a buck. Remember there was also a large disparity in that the poor kids were often drafted while rich kids often found ways to avoid going to Nam. Just my two cents, but I must say I was surprised no one else commented on this song being largely related to the Vietnam War. Rumpelstiltskin on July 28, Link. There was an error. This is not about the Vietnam war!

This is an existential song about how people's actions and thoughts are so controlled by the time of day, their lives pass them by without their being aware of it. Scoutmaster on August 24, Sorry Scout, but Rumple is correct. The song is about a war that was going on for years as if time had stopped and how nothing seems to change.

Every day the country was hearing of more men dying, so that every day became like every other day, so much so that they were hard to tell them apart.
