This song is about how certain ideas can circulate society through tactics of enforcement by the governing body, like "arab terrorists". Juts like in the 17th century innocent people were burnt because of accusations of witches it still happens today even though "Years and years have passed" nothing has changed. The mainstream media being a good example from where false blame and group categorisation can stem, like giving arab's the reputation of being "terrorists". This in turn has the "yokels" sending their offspring as soldiers to war and it keeps the west supporting western imperialism in the east.
