Musically it's Propagandhi's best song and one of the better ones I've heard ever (and I listen to lots of Zep, and Cream and Hendrix too) with its blasting, haunting riffs and that heartbeat part. Whew!
Lyrically, though, it doesn't let you down either. It's about animal rights, the way we treat them like...for lack of a better word, like animals. We keep them confined in our houses as pets and in slaughterhouses to be killed. When they happen to do something that saves our lives then they get commemorated with some petty honour (the origin of the title). It's also about violent 'animal liberationists'...('a package under a terminal bench and a short fuse to scatter) why Propagandhi chose to sing about bombing things mystifies me. I guess they think some causes are worth bombing for?
Either way it's a great song. Dig it! Just hope you aren't as disturbed by te intro as some people are.

@Frosted This is such a pretentious answer that the song lyrics don't actually support. Are you by chance a sommelier too?
