...considering it was written at the height of the Viet Nam war, what do YOU think the song is "about"?"

Ozzy Osbourne War Pigs

-

Generals gathered in their masses

just like witches at black masses

evil minds that plot destruction

sorcerers of death's construction

in the fields the bodies burning

as the war machine keeps turning

death and hatred to mankind

poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

-

Politicians hide themselves away

they only started the war

Why should they go out to fight?

They leave that role to the poor

-

Time will tell on their power minds

Making war just for fun

Treating people just like pawns in chess

Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah!

-

Now in darkness, world stops turning

ashes were the bodies burning

No more war pigs of the power

Hand of god has struck the hour

Day of judgement, god is calling

on their knees, the war pigs crawling

Begging mercy for their sins

Satan, laughing, spreads his wings

-

OH LORD YEAH!

-

Generals gathered in their masses

Just like Witches at Black Masses

In the fields their bodies burning

As the war machine keeps turning

-

Evil minds that plot destruction

Sorcerer of death's construction

It's the same wherever you go

To the War Pigs people know

-

OH LORD YEAH!

-

Politicians hide themselves away

They only started the war

Treating people just like pawns in chess

Wait till their judgement day comes ... Yeah!

-

People running like they're sheep in fields

People blowing out their minds

Say that you're dying here ... I know it now

Hey, you're the goner at the end ... Yeah!

-

On the scene a priest appears

Hell is falling at his knees

Satan sends out funeral pyre

Cast the priest into the fire

-

It's the place for all bad sinners

Watch them eating dead rat cinders

It's the same wherever you go

To Black Masses people go

-

OH LORD YEAH!

Is it about the moral imperative of righteous self-defense?

To: Mr.Atos

As you and I just talked about . . .

THIS is about the moral imperative of righteous self-defense:

-------
DON’T TREAD ON ME
by Metallica

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
Never begins it, never, but once engaged...
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

Don’t tread on me

So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you’ll hear evermore...

Don’t tread on me

Love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

Don’t tread on me

So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you’ll hear evermore...

Don’t tread on me

So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail

So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you’ll hear evermore...

Don’t tread on me




It may have been written as social commentary at the time, but I think it works well for motivation in a post 9/11 world.
