I've been thinking about these lyrics for a while now. They seemed too simple, too...spoken to be meant word for word, spoken by the author. Then I saw the music video for the song. I'd say the song is meant to tell how even the worst people in history (Hitler, Stalin, Attila, etc.) always believed that they were doing the "right thing", although defined by themselves or whatever they believed in. Maybe they believed that their way was the best way to happiness, and in some cases, the only way one should live. Hitler believed that his wars were holy wars that forever would cleanse the world of illness and disability - a utopia, of course, but he still believed in it. The famed crusades; they believed that by spreading the same religion across the world, no people would ever find themselves in conflict with others again.
Anyway, that's my view. I'd love to hear others, so please comment!
@LidoTRK I think it is just about the neverending pandering empty promises that so many politicians make... election cycle after election cycle. Actions, not words prove intent. Tulsi Gabbard's handling of Kamala Harris in the 2019 Democratic debates illustrated that.
