War for Sale Lyrics

I can't believe I'm the first commenter for any of these songs... Shadow Gallery rules.

The meaning for this song is obvious; a man who worked for the military realizes what they are doing, and discovers the corruption in the government. In this song, he portrays his regret about it.

It's part of Tyranny, which is a concept album. The general themes of most of the songs seem to point to the fact that the album might be based off of the graphic novel V for Vendetta (also consider that the band name came from it, and the name for the song/album Room V which is a sequel to Tyranny).
