What a great track. Before performing this live, Wayne always says that it is a song about animal testing, and the people who abuse animals that way. And if you listen to the song with that idea in mind, you can definitely hear it. But I actually like both of the other ideas, that it's about people in the speaker's future (this is how I heard it the first time), and that it's about the nature of evil (and people) itself.
