5/11/05 Hi, I'm 52, which gives you an idea of the generation that I grew up in (Beatles, Stones, etc.) I LOVE this song followed by Champions, but I really don't understand the lyrics. Who is stomping whom? Are those with mud on their faces, at different ages, different generations (in one time frame? or at different time frames, meaning the same boy, man and old man???), stomping, fighting our society? Or, is Queen telling us that "they," the men represented in the lyrics, deserve to be stomped? If so, exactly WHY? And why is this song followed by The Champions? Did Queen mean that those who thought that the boy, man, old man in We Will Stomp You, to be annhiliated, socially, then would be "stomped" out by the champions of the world? Please enlighten me. I always blast this song and The Champions, but am confused as to its true meaning... Thoughts from the gallery???
