Genre[edit]

Should be changed to Rap/Metal--ZEROpumpkins 10:08, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

"Weapons not food not homes not shoes" -- I'm pretty sure its 'Hopes', and not homes.

It's definately homes. Hopes wouldn't make much sense there.

I agree the genre is rap metal and funk metal, I invite the uneducated to watch various documentaries on nu metal for it's not nu metal Noob boi (talk) 10:03, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

We're only interested in what reliable sources say and you have yet to provide one. Robvanvee 10:32, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Bulls?[edit]

I understand the reference to the military-industrial complex, but what bulls and what parade does the title refer to? Is it any kind of american or english saying? --Michalis Famelis (talk) 04:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Its saying that war is like bulls on a parade, they destroy everything —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.43.103.227 (talk) 17:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I think SineBot is correct. Interpretation is subjective but "Bulls on Parade" reminds me of American military tanks (ie modern "Cavalry") going full-speed ahead during invasion and destroying everything in their path. 68.3.197.68 (talk) 03:43, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

"Bull" can be a slang term for a cop or other authority figure. It's usually used as an insult, similar to "Pig." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.66.52 (talk) 09:53, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Bull is also a male elephant. Elephants are the symbol of the Republican Party and they are known to hypocritically be the party of "family values" and also the more aggressive militarily of the two parties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.247.112.150 (talk) 23:16, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Re-write[edit]

Could someone re-write this article so it makes more sense please, the broken English gives me a headache... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spikie852 (talkcontribs) 07:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

If you're going to revert changes[edit]

At least make them understandable. Most of this article seems to have been written by someone who has little understanding of the English language. Also, it's full of pointless information.

Could someone PLEASE get rid of all the c**p and clean this up? Preferably in correct, understandable English.

I've made an attempt, thanks for bringing this to attention. Regards, Skomorokh 19:24, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Chorus Meaning?[edit]

Can anyone elaborate, within the article, what the lyrics mean when they say "They rally 'round the family, with a pocket full of shells"? I understand that the 2nd part must mean a pocket full of shotgun shells (ie ready to shoot and kill) but what does "They rally 'round the family" mean? The best thing I can think of is that they are referencing how Republicans rally around family values. This would show the contradiction between valuing family while destroying families in other countries. Am I wrong? Has the band ever confirmed this? 68.3.197.68 (talk) 03:41, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

And now, in 2018, the Democrats seem to suddenly care about "the children" every time there's a shooting or a group of illegal immigrants has their family "viciously separated". — Preceding unsigned comment added by FiggazWithAttitude (talkcontribs) 14:20, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

covers[edit]
