34 years after first listening to this song as a teen, I look up these lyrics since all these years I could only comprehend about 50% of what Hetfield is singing on the Kill 'em All album. Fascinating and intelligent. I can relate, I work in an industry that helps feed the war machine - we publish a mil/aero magazine and I sell advertising to companies that manufacture products that go into building and designing weaponry, aircraft, missiles, bombs, etc. At one period of time back in my Ron Paul days it somewhat bothered me that war and the technology of death is a booming business. But now I say f&ck it, no remorse, it's just a job that puts food on the table.

Lastly, Hammett fkn shreds on this song.
