This song is not a metaphor, it is literally about the stupidity of war.
Trite? It is more relevant than ever now.
One of the best lines in the song is how he has a place in his heart for "grown up children" too.
Comparing the futility of war to a philistine or the act of finding witches to burn shows the complexity of a collaborative Culture Club lyric.
After the bird has flown...to then have to take 10,000 steps to get back home... with this statement, can there even be a question as to how meaningless a fight is when you compare it against peace and harmony?
The strong performance of Clare Torry (Dark Side of the Moon) hits home the pain of War.
The song spells it out clearly. Put down the weapons and let love in your heart and embrace the difference, and you just might find that it is way more important than meager possessions.
