First off, their Steal this Album was crap. But they regained theirself with Mezmerize. But a lot of their songs have meanings of the war and how their against it. Like the intro, it talks about a soldier standing there alone as his friends are dying around him. "Why do we always send the poor" is refering to the mass amounts of low class people signing up for the military while congress keeps their sons safe at college. If you check out lyrics you will see tons of stuff. Ex: We're the propagators of all genocide, Burning through the world's resources, then we turn and hide.....The kinda **** thats on your TV!,The kinda **** thats on your TV!,It's on the TV,It's on your TV,Turn off your TV,Can you say brainwashing?......What is in us that turns a deaf ear to the cries of human suffering?!!!............Stuff like that.
