Not many of you understand.. Most of Primus's songs are foggy when it comes to the meanings, but this has to be one of the most clear. So..
It is about how too many of the nation's youth is sent into war.
Youth = Puppies (Ya know, because puppies are the child or baby form of dogs)
So, instead of the deserving and old(er), the puppies are put in the battlefield.
Too many puppies are being shot in the dark, too many puppies are trained not to bark at the sight of blood that must be spilled (possibly to speak up, or to physically trained for what they are put through, maybe even because it is "at the blood that must be spilled", its almost like people expect the "puppies" to sort of, "suck it up", and ignore, just keep shooting)
umm... "On the command of men wearing money belts" perhaps this is symbolism for the rich, and scared (possibly) who will sit back and send in the "puppies"
I think my point or theory is very clear. For a 13 year old.
"Too many puppies with guns in their hands" is very clear and obvious.
