The Negotiator Lyrics
Tell me how does it feel. to watch a child bleed to death. from a weapon you designed. you've spilt they're blood. is your pride really worth this? such a mindless slaughter. bow down to greed. bloodshed. your lies cut their throat. such beauty. such innocense. set to self destruct. as you nail their coffin shut. with your hammer of hate. the flesh is torn. hate reamins.the. flesh. is. torn. they bleed. bloodshed. broken by your hand. who will bleed for you now.

maybe having a go at war. and how innocent civilians are often the ones who pay? just a guess.
Have to agree with you @martial666 it definitely comes across in a similar vein to Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" ... that is sending people to their death in war for your own benefits.
So I just heard this. But I feel like the line "from a weapon you\'ve designed" and referencing a "child bleeding to death" is a direct reference to the drone strikes that began in the bush administration. We\'re all well aware of the casualties to innocent lives they can have.\n\nI think this song might call out the fact even though these drones were designed to protect soldiers from entering combat their very nature made more death.\n\nObviously this could also just be a reference to war being bad but the song was made in 2004 - same time as the strikes started.
