"So get out your pistols
Get out your stones
Get out your knives
Cut them to the bone
They are the lackeys of the grocer's machine
They built the dark satanic mills
That manufacture hell on earth
They bought the front row seats on Calvary
They are irrelevant to me
But I grieve for my sister"
This verse really stands out. He is clearly pleading for people to take action. This song also brings up a theme that I think he also explores in "Too much Rope"; That in spite of televisions tendency to sensationalize world event to the point of meaninglessness, it also shows how it can bring suffering to our awarness. Think about how history might have been different if we had had global media coverage on the colonalization of the America's and the genocide of American Indians?
