before i read these lyrics, i believed it was about the current "war on terror" as well as the damage we're doing to our planet. the song title "the kids don't stand a chance" conveyed to me that it was telling the tale of the young men and women in the war who will die young and how the future generations will never know how beautiful this place is because our previous and current generations are destroying it.
"You criticize the practice
By murdering their plants"
i'll go ahead and take this literally...we're killing the planet and using it up, showing no concern for our kids and theirs.
"Ignoring all the history
Denying them romance"
will war ever make this place we live in more harmonious? let's go ahead and send or children to this ridiculous war to have them die and never let them experience falling in love, having kids and growing old.
i think the pin-striped men are all of those in power who work w/ each other to safe-guard their wealth even if it means exploiting the poor to have their will stand. they also come to those young, idealistic men and women who they know will have a role to play in the future as politicians to mold them and seduce them w/ wealth and power.
