not education, hesitation. all versions of the song in my possession say that.
I think I read somewhere that Damien and Mike wrote this song kind of as a joke, as the lyrics are pretty much nonsensical. Taking your hardest, most exciting riff, and punking your fans by writing shitty lyrics... that's just awesome.
The 7" version has the song 'Palestine' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K14pPMMAO_Y playing at the start of it as the guitar riff fades in. Could shed some light on the song's meaning- a generation of palestinian youth growing up under occupation taking up the slagon 'freedom or death'?
