this song reminds me how great this band was when they were at their best too bad they didn't stay together the music they could have made

user
the audio sounds a bit sped up. compare to other clip on youtube from same footage (from Urgh! A Music War); sounds better on other clip.

For those of you who didn't undestand what I said on my comment , I'll simplify - I meant that everything in this performance is perfect !!!

Andy inspired me a lot.. When me and my band plays message in a bottle AND this song, all of us get very nostalgic :D God I love the police <3

I agree! The Police are much better live, I'm a Bass Player, it must be a musician thing to understand the impact of this band live.

Love it...i saw them in 80 & 81 & 82....good times.

This clip is from the 1981 live concert film Urgh! A Music War, produced in part by IRS Records. There are dozens of New Wave and punk bands featured from shows in LA, NYC, London, and Frejus, France.

Lyrics:
Words and music by Sting
How can you say that your not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existance is reduced to a shallow meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
'Cause this is what we've seen
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world, who knows what to do
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
