Proposition Lyrics
I have loved this song since it came out, but I have no clue what it means? Anyone help please?
Do you like Duran Duran too?

It seems that the "Proposition" is to stop all wars. There is a lot of powerful imagery about wars: "price of freedom" being the shattered youth of whole generations; "pay for the crime of feeling" is about the unnatural need to shut down your emotions during a war and behave inhumanly; "who's deciding?" is the eternal question of meaningfulness/meaningless of wars...
I especially like the verse "When all your pride is dead you must be scared instead". Pride is one possible reason for waging a war, but gradually the sense of it all gets lost in the horrors and all that is left is despair and fear.
